SQL Dev 17.2.0.188 64-bit on Win7 Pro
Am doing side-by-side comparisons between SQL Dev and SQL Navigator, hopeing to be able to drop SQL Nav and save the money.
As one test I have a somewhat long running PL/SQL script that performs several sql statements, and also calls some stored procedures which of course have their own activity. While this is running (from sql plus, at a command line, not within either product) I put SQL Dev on one screen and SQL Nav on the other. In each I open their respective session browser tool and select the test session, and the 'current sql' tab. Set both to auto-refresh the view every 10 seconds. What I see is that SQL Nav will show a sql statement, while at the very same time SQL Dev reports "No text available". I can watch each "blink" when it refreshes the view, within 1 second of each other, and consistently SQL Nav will show me some sql from my test session, while SQL Dev continues to insist "No text available" In both products I am connected to the database with the same account, having the DBA role.
