What tools are people using to edit SQL in Oracle BI?

Content

Hi, as per title, I'm wondering what everyone is using to edit SQL in Oracle BI? Eg. for data model SQL.

The window Oracle provides is small, non resizable and times out frequently, so I try to avoid it, using something like notepad or notepad++ to edit the SQL, then copy/paste into the Oracle BI window so I can hit OK and view the data output.

Something that connects to the Oracle HCM Fusion database would be ideal (though we don't have access to that), but the next best thing would be like a Toad type utility that can at least format (using colour coding for brackets etc) and checking of syntax, in a full window.

So what are other people using for this?

Thanks

    Hello Alex,

    Unfortunately I don't believe there are any side-tools other than text editors that can connect to the OBI layer in this manner, generally Oracle is very selective as to what applications they allow to touch the actual RPD/Data model.

    From my experience, Notepad++ and Textpad tend to be the most popular tools due to their handling/coloring of SQL syntax.

    For my work, I usually use Notepad++ with SQL plugins from their repository.

     

    Thank you,

    I've not found anything better than Notepad++

    I go between Oracles SQL Developer and Notepad++ however I have not managed to get the developer to link to the system. The format option works well on SQL Developer to restructure the text. This uses colours for key words and highlights a companion bracket when you select it.

    DataFusing CloudSQL provides a user friendly IDE like Toad or SQL developer and lets you connect to Oracle Cloud using your Oracle login credentials. You need to have enough BI roles to use it. There is a free online version and a desktop version available with advanced features.
