[Squirrel-sql-users] some features

[<dhe...@pi...>]

Hi,

just downloaded .jar installer, oci:thin drivers and running it..

As a Pl/Sql programmer I think it should let view procedures and actions =
inside of its package tab, instead of whole procedures listed together. =
It's quite difficult readable.

Also I've not been able to connect via jdbc:odbc driver, cause login =
window hangs. I don't think it's not a disfunction of my driver cause =
yesterday I tried succesfully a simple connection with a single query =
execution from a .java of mine using jdbc.odbc... can you login ?

The program is good... continue working on!

Hi,

One of the things being added to version 1.1 is plugin functionality which
will allow (amongst other things) the ability to add plugins with code
specific to a particular DBMS. The viewing of stored procs within their
packages for oracle is something that should be within an Oracle plugin and
we will look at doing that.

Currently the project is undergoing some big changes. Version 1 was pretty
much a solo effort by myself. Now several people have expressed an interest
in helping develop Squirrel and this is currently being setup. You should
see some big changes in Squirrel in the future.

As to your problems with the JDBC/ODBC bridge I have to confess that this
driver has caused me more trouble than all the other drivers put together. I
have had it working with the Oracle ODBC driver although I haven't tried it
recently. I'll try again in a couple of days when I next have access to an
Oracle server.

Hi Dani,

I apologize for taking so long to get back to you.

I've been successful in connecting to Oracle 8.1.6 using the JDBC/ODBC
bridge under WINNT SP6 and Sun JDK 1.3.1 and 1.4beta3 and Oracle ODBC driver
2.573.4202.00.

My guess would be that the version of the ODBC driver that you are running
isn't working too well with the bridge. Squirrel depends very heavily on the
meta data methods in the driver and these seem to be the last thing that the
vendors put in.

Could you tell me what JDK you use, OS type and version and ODBC driver
version and I'll try to chase the problem further.

Col
