Format tnsnames.ora with SQL Dev?

Nope.  Even if you make a copy of tnsnames.ora with a file type of .sql, then open that and format it, there is no change.

I agree that this would be useful. Can it be considered for a future enhancement?

You can always check if an existing Feature Request covers this at http://sqldeveloper.oracle.com and, if not, add your request there.

Sounds to me like a solution in search of a problem.  First, if you were to use netca to manage your tnsnames, it would get formatted consistently, though perhaps not how you'd like.  Better, I've not even used netca in - gosh I can't remember, and I've been doing this since around 1995.  When I need to add an entry to tnsnames, I just open it in a text editor and copy an existing entry, then change the only three strings that ever need to be changed: Net service name (the "entry" name), HOST and SERVICE_NAME.  If the first entry is formatted to my liking, everything else that I add will be, too.

Thanks! I didn't realize SQLDev had an ideas space outside the community site.
