I am currently defining the auto-formatting rules for our company. For Toad I already did it, but now the challenge is, to define them for the SQL developer. Since the SQL Developer does not offer that many options as the TOAD I have to use the user-defined ones.
My questions:
Is there maybe a good way to convert the TOAD rules to SQL developer rules?
Do you know whether there is a documentation about the syntax of the user-defined rules? Google does not lead to any good results, and also just following the wordpress link that is provided in the default ones did not help that much.
Really looking forward to your help.
The wordpress link I was talking about:

I am looking for a source to teach me how to create an oracle form. I don't want to create a form by using oracle form builder, I would like to understand how to create a *.fmb file.
Do you have any good source to read about it? I would like to create a custom IDE that's why I want to know how I can create an Oracle form.
please advice me.
You can use the open api functionality in oracle forms to make your own fmb files.
For more info read this link
You don't want to do that.
Back in 1990's, Forms 3.0, when a form source was an .INP file which was a pure TXT file, it had its own structure so you might have tried to do everything in a text editor - define blocks, triggers, PL/SQL code, whatever. I don't know a single person who did that - that's what Forms is used for, so that you - as a developer - could pay attention to development and let Forms do the boring job for you.
Today, .FMB is not a textual file at all so you can't even do that.
I'd suggest you to learn how to develop good/fast/effective/etc. Forms applications, and - again - let Forms do the rest.
As of the rest of your question (creating a custom IDE), did you try to create a query builder? It is way simpler than creating a form, but still quite complex and certainly isn't something you can do in a matter of days.
Anyway, good luck with anything you're up to, I admire your enthusiasm.
OpenERP is one of the best ERP applications I ever used.
I found that almost everything must be built from the beginning to meet the specific needs for each one including the analysis reports, but there are some basic packages already built.
Since I am new to OpenERP functionality and still haven't learned how to create reports in OpenERP, I need to know if there is any addons/extra module that provides me some basic and ready to print reports and listings for the several modules. This reports and listings will help me to better understand and learn the functional part of the application and will allow me on a future to better understand how to build reports and listings in OpenERP.
If anyone can provide me a link or repository with such information I will be greatfull.
Thank you very much

There are various ways of creating reports with openerp. They are (i've prioritized)
Webkit (for html,web designers - this will be a great utility)
OpenOffice (for any office person with minimal technical skills)
RML (Strictly for programmers :))
Jasper Report (good for people with java-reporting base)
Aeroo (Rich functionality of exporting to excel,word etc, still i am not comfortable in aeroo with openerp 7)
Pentaho Report Designer (A reporting tool from pentaho )
These links will help you in understanding better, setup environment and learn from the sample modules and reports. However you need to design what u need with one of the reporting type.

Reporting from Odoo / OpenERP can be very frustrating at times. We have found over the years that no single solution is great for every need.
The built in reporting mechanisms mentioned in the first answer (rml / openoffice) have been somewhat deprecated and replaced with qweb reporting which renders similarly in HTML or PDF. They can be difficult to get fine-grained control and alignment, a lot of work to achieve non-regular reporting structures and cross tab reports, but are fast and easy to use for straightforward "document" type reports (such as orders / invoices).
I cannot comment on Jasper or Aeroo, as I have not used them.
Using Pentaho Reports for Odoo can be great because they are primarily reporting engines. They can do wonderful things with data, present them in great ways.
One upside with this connector is its ability to access Data using the object layer, or SQL, or both in one report if necessary (using sub-reports for example), as well as custom methods!
One downside we have found with Pentaho Reporting is that as the code base changes for OpenERP/Odoo, the connector changes, and configuration has to be continually re-vesited.
The latest version supports Odoo version 8 and version 5.4 of Pentaho reporting engine.
Well I am new to this ORM stuff. We have to create a large project. I read about LINQ to SQL. will it be appropriate to use it in the project of high risk. i found no problem with it personally but the thing is that there will be no going back once started.So i need some feedback from the ORM gurus here at the MSDN. Will entity framework will be better? (I am in doubt about LINK to SQL because I have read and heard negative feedback here and there)
I will be using MVC2 as the framework. So please give the feedback about LINQ to SQL in this regard.
Q2) Also I am a fan of stored procedure as they are precomputed and fasten up the thing and I have never worked without them.I know that LINQ to SQL support stored procedures but will it be feasible to give up stored procedure seeing the beautiful data access layer generated with little effort as we are also in a need of rapid development.
Q3) If some changes to some fields required in the database in LINK to SQL how will the changes be accommodated in the data access layer.
When it comes to Linq-to-Sql vs Entity Framework, I strongly suggest to use Entity Framework. With the release of .NET 4.0 and VS2010, Microsoft added soooo much goodness in Entity Framework(EF) 4.0. Let me just mention a few points: POCO and NTier support (this means that you can have a separate library with your simple entity classes and of course EF will still be aware of them), Lazy Loading, Sql query optimizations...Also you can let EF to generate your entities (and you have the option modify the T4 generation template) or you can create them by hand if you need more control. Also, if you app will indeed be large, with EF 4, now you can separate your layers quite nicely(you can create your Mocks fo testing etc...). I'm not a web developer, so I cannot give you any hints on mvc2 on this matter.
q2-q3) - in EF you can have precompiled queries - IF you observer later on that query performance is not quite what you need. This will speed-up things quite a bit. If you plan to use EF and if you add a few changed to you database, you can easily update your model with a click.
I know I babbled too much on EF and not Linq to sql :), but hey...I believe this suits way better on your needs and you should definitely check it out for this project. Also, I don't know how much Microsoft will add features / invest in LinqToSql in the future.
Cheers,
ok precompiled queries that certainly is catching my attention.
I often get in a position when I need to know why my LINQ doesnt work as intended...
I use object collections and extensions.
I dont want spend more than couple of minutes on it. LINQ supposed to make developer's life easier not harder.
I hoped VS 2010 will have it fixed but I now use RC and it still doesnt let me type LINQ and check what is going on... Says as before "Expression cannot contain lambda expressions"...
Is there some add-on for Visual Studio so I can quickly and effectively run ad-hoc queries and find out what is going on and where I am wrong?
It's not a VS plugin, but it's free and it's awesome: LinqPad
Check it out here
You can run whatever linq or code snippet in general, just give it a look, it's an incredibly useful tool, for linq and more.
Have you tried this?
Debugging LINQ Queries
Debugging LINQ queries can be
problematic. One of the reasons is
that quite often, you write a large
query as a single expression, and you
can’t set a breakpoint mid-expression.
Writing large queries in expression
context is particularly powerful when
using functional construction to form
XML (or using the strongly typed DOM
in Open XML SDK V2). This post
presents a little trick that makes it
easier to use the debugger with LINQ
queries that are written using ‘method
syntax’.
VS 2010 isn't going to address this..
There is, in fact, such a plugin as you describe, but unfortunately it is highly expiremental. You will probably need to install VS2008 SDK and the Service Packs to get it to work - I know I did..

We are using an oracle database in a project. Most of the tables represents classes or objects in the application. The application currently doesn't have a substantial amount of documentation. I am using StarUML to make up some class diagrams and such for other developers on the project to increase their understanding of the overall project. Using the database tables as a starting guide, and then making modifications to the diagrams as needed would be the absolute easiest and quickest way to get these set up. Is there any free applications that could assist me in pulling the schema out of the Oracle database and create class diagrams from them? Currently, there are 98 "objects" or classes closely modeled in the database and to create these all in a modeling application from scratch would be very time consuming.
You don't say what your target language is.
You can use Hibernate to generate schemas from an object model and mapping.
Middlegen is a tool that can create Java classes from schemas. Maybe those will help.
A 1:1 object-to-table mapping isn't always the best way to do things. It's hardly object-oriented. I'd view it as a starting point only.
I looked (briefly) through the StarUML documentation and don't see any way to import a database definition, so I'm not sure how you do this, sorry.
If you can find a way to get the data into StarURL, you could use Oracle's free SQL Developer tool to get the table definitions out as DDL or XML.
I know that Microsoft's Visio tool (Pro & Enterprise editions) can read selected tables from your Oracle database and generate models from that, but it ain't cheap. I really like Allround Automation's PL/SQL Developer as a reasonably-priced IDE targeted at programmers (vs DBAs) and I know that will generate diagrams locally. But I'm not sure it can save the metadata in a form you could use in StarUML.
Good luck,

It's a shame you didn't bother to respond to replies to your own question. Or am I misunderstanding the standard practice here that people just give points and move on?
