There is a suggestion list for SQL Developer?

FC60 Dec 4, 2016 6:35 PM

Hi,

I would like to suggest to change the rename fonction for the objects.

Today, you must right click the name (table name for exemple), > Table > Rename...

A little form opens

You type the new name

You click Ok

You have the confirmation message.

We can copy the Windows fonctionnality

Select the object and F2 or one click on the oblect name.

Thanks

The "Oracle SQL Developer Exchange" is where one is supposed to post such requests and suggestions.

@Jeff
Ok, but, I think, it would good also for the Mac and Linux people.
With Windows Copy-Paste is ctrlC+CtrlP, with Mac is CmdC+CmdP +or- the same...

yeah, not a bad idea

renaming a db object is not as causal as renaming a file on your personal OS though, so I'm not sure I mind the extra clicks for the time being.

Do you know SQL Server Management System? I always say: "See what others do better..."
In my head I think Oracle need a little bit of restilng, like an old house, confortable but without the new gadgets that today we can find in the market.

Ten years ago my father sad : I never had need a credit card to live and travel!
Ok, daddy, but today you have 90 and you stay alwais at home.

Microsoft SQL Server is attractive, Oracle is a good, very good RDBMS, but a little bit of look is not a bad idea.

PS: You write: renaming a db object is not as causal as renaming a file on your personal OS
and I say: SQL Developer is not a tool for a final user, but for a DBA or a DB Architect

I say, I really don't like SSMS and it's somewhat unusable w/o add-on packs - but I'm a biased user.

Also, most of our users are end users and developers, so at the end of the day, it's for everyone.

BTW, I don't dismiss your idea out of hand. I said even it's a good idea. It's tempered by some other things which I've mentioned already. And also I'm quite familiar with the database tools market - I'm not afraid of improving SQL Dev.
