PLDoc support

Hello,

I want to use new function PLDoc support released in 12.11.0.31 under menu Database/Report but I don’t see it in menu. How to use it? Can I run it also from Automation Designer?

Thanks

Unfortunately, after looking into some of the issues and limitations of PLDoc, we decided to remove that functionality from Toad. We really wanted the integration to work but in our testing, the stability just wasn't there.

Yeah, PLDoc was just too buggy. We found that it throws errors for any of these conditions: 11g clients, objects with unicode characters in their names, tables with foreign keys, tables with partitions, procedures/packages with errors.

We are using PLDoc on more then 20 DB instances, many schemas, thousands packages(with thousands LOC per package), thousands tables with foreign key a partitioning and subpartitoning, types and object and we do not have any problem with PLDoc.

I like to help you with testing this feature, because I think it would be very useful for us.

kpodaril, contact me at john.dorlon@quest.com.

I’m willing to take another look at pldoc, but it’s too late for 12.11 because we are nearing the end of the development cycle. If these problems can be cleaned up, I could give it another shot in 12.12 or whatever we call the version after.

Hello.
Are there any progress in the pldoc in the toad? Or any other implementation of the javadoc tags in the oracle source code in the toad?

Sorry, there has not.

Hi.
Are there still no progress?
Sqldevelopper from Oracle implemented it and it have "Generate DB Doc" with PLDOC syntax and have the Quick Documentation.

There wasn't really any more work to do on our end. It seemed like the problems were all on PLDoc's side. I can give it a try again. Maybe they have fixed the problems since last time we tried it.

Hi.
Is it possible take over the documentation syntax and implement it in Toad?
Ie. Toad can parse it to the Toad tables and use it in the code assist and html doc schema/database generator.
The best way will be if the Oracle implement it to the DB core native but it'is long way....

Hi,

Sorry, this has been low priority since only a few people have asked about it. PLDoc is still on my to-do list, but lately my focus has been more around product stability. If/when we do implement this, it will just be a means to call PLDoc's routines from Toad to create PLDoc's output. We don't plan to change our HTML Schema doc and Code Insight to copy the PLDoc format.
