Parameter / Column name

When calling a store procedure it would very helpful to have a popup balloon that tells you which parameter you are in like :

PROCEDURE STORE_PROCEDURE_X

(

parameter_1 number,

parameter_2 number,

parameter_3

) IS

BEGIN

null;

END;

BEGIN

                 (you are in parameter: line number)

store_procedure_x(1, 2, 3)

END;

When you are typing a insert command it would be helpful to have the column name displayed:

insert into table_example

(column_1, column_2, column_3)

vallues (you are in column_3)

(1, 'xxxxxxxxx', '30-jan-26')

When calling PL/SQL Toad will offer parameter assistance. See the Enable parameter assistance and sub-options on the Editor | Code Assist page in Options.

Here I am shown parameter assistance for a procedure that has 12 overloads. I can use up|down arrow to cycle through the overloads.

There is no similar option for working with DML though.
