  • Comment: Startup sound

    I hope it can be disabled then like in Toad; in our office environment only really necessary sounds are tolerated. I know some folks like to customize the L&F; I am primarily after features and usability. (But I agree with the "Nice product.")

  • Optional Text Delimiter for File Import

    I have tab delimited files, where a blank between tabs really should be inserted as one blank (there are many NOT NULL columns) I only could get the import to work when I double quoted the blanks (not only making the files larger and less readable, but also needed the additional step of getting the blanks quoted).

  • Comment: Oracle: Connecting as SYS not possible

    >Sigh - I'll try to make this a bit easier soon :) I'll be waiting for that - but thanks for responding. BTW: I am not in a rush - I used SQLPlus to get the 2 grants done; for everything else I use SQuirreL - great tool!
