ODT for Visual Studio 2019 - Asking to fix configuration every time

4203322Mar 3 2020 — edited Mar 5 2020

Hello guys,

I am new to the whole "app connecting to oracle" world, so please bare with me.

I recently installed visual studio 2019 and I am trying to connect to an oracle database using the EFcore. So, after several google search I can across ODT for VS2019, which I am aware is kinda new. The thing is, I installed everything and now each time I open VS and the Server Explorer Tab it shows me the following message.

After that, I need to close Vs, wait for it to install and re-open. Then again, when I open Server Explorer the same thing happen.

Shuld I click NO and try to add a connection it shows me the following:

So I am out of ideas of what I am doing wrong here. If anybody could shed some light on this I would appreciate.

Horrible. All of it.

Using an outdated Web Toolkit API.

Not using bind variables, leaving open a giant security hole.

And using the same magnificent reasoning that made your code so horrible, and applied it to posting a PL/SQL question in a forum that EXPLICITLY states No Product Questions.

You can use owa_util.bind_variables to open a cursor for a query string with multiple binds and pass the resulting cursor to owa_util.listprint, but beware of implicit conversions, e.g.

DECLARE
  PROCEDURE init_owa
  IS
      l_names owa.vc_arr;
      l_values owa.vc_arr;
  BEGIN
      l_names (1) := 'DUMMY_NAME';
      l_values (1) := 'DUMMY_VALUE';
      owa.init_cgi_env (
        num_params => l_names.COUNT,
        param_name => l_names,
        param_val => l_values);
  END init_owa;
  PROCEDURE dump_owa
  IS
      l_page htp.htbuf_arr;
      l_rows INTEGER := 99999999;
  BEGIN
      owa.get_page (
        thepage => l_page,
        irows => l_rows);
      FOR i IN 1 .. l_rows LOOP
        dbms_output.put_line (l_page (i));
      END LOOP;
  END dump_owa;
BEGIN
  init_owa;
  DECLARE
      p_deptno dept.deptno%TYPE := 10;
  BEGIN
      owa_util.listprint (
        p_thecursor =>
            owa_util.bind_variables (
              thequery =>
                  q'{SELECT DISTINCT job, job || ' - ' || INITCAP (job), NULL }' ||
                  q'{FROM emp WHERE deptno = TO_NUMBER (:b_deptno)}',
              bv1name => 'b_deptno',
              bv1value => TO_CHAR (p_deptno)),
        p_cname => 'p_cname',
        p_nsize => 99,
        p_multiple => TRUE);
  END;
  dump_owa;
END;

LOL well thanks for that. Actual feedback on the issue would have been nice..But I guess thats constructive criticism....or just being a d!ck...idk...especially that early in the morning too...amazing.

-- Doing the best with what I've got

-- You really could have just suggested  using owa_util.bind_variables as @padders suggested.

-- Yea I figured it was the wrong area to post in. I did search around for the correct spot but the site is a little tough to navigate ( I don't spend my entire day on here )

But thanks for that..It did make me laugh

Sorry about that

Thanks for the help. I'll take a look and dissect. This should work, especially utilizing ow_util.bind_variables function.

Thanks a lot
