@zalqarnain turabi:

Aqua data studio can handle different types of databases. As allround DBA (not restricted to Oracle) this is the better tool.
So far it has been the best I can find on OS X. The PL/SQL support is not that good, but it is more then half decent.
As DBA tool it is just as good as any other graphical tool (sqlplus is still the best tool, that works in each and every situation, but that’s just my opinion which can be discarded in this case)

The main disadvantige I found are:
1. speed: it is not as lean and mean as a standard tool on windows like pl/sql developer, even though I am running a 1.6 Ghz with 1 GB memory
2. big packages: as soon as a package grows to big, it won’t compile anymore
3. no “recompile all” or “compile all invalid packages” feature. It can’t even show you what’s invalid. (well.. without querying user_objects or all_objects)

The big advantages are for me:
1. support for mysql, postgres, sql-server and oracle
2. a quick responding development team: If you submit a but, a developer will contact you directly and you will recieve a bugfix. This will happen quick and with a proper description of the cause (which can help you in your own professional life )
3. stability: it hasn’t crashed on my Mac uptill now.

I cannot speak for other versions then the one running on OS X. You will need to check them yourself…

Still run in a lot of “features” / aka bugs which were related on XMLType objects.

For instance:
a) content of XMLType tables is not shown properly
b) a “copy” (a CTAS is used, which causes the problems) of a xmltype table results
in a relational object instead of an identical copy of the source.

The projec looks promising and i hope they will get the “xml features” more stable,
whicg would be great.

The JRE is explained here. If you use a standard jre the debugger will not work.

Great tool. The downloads are a bit confusing though; although one of them is titled ‘Project Raptor for non-Windows platforms’ it works fine on windows (XP). The only difference is that it does not contain the java5 jre. When started, a dialog asks you for the path to java.exe, et voila…
I also like the reports that, although I could not get all the queries to work, provides a wide range of database information like the version nls-language support, xml schema’s, table information and much more.

Looks like I won’t need to renew my licenses for Toad (by Quest Software) any more. Not requiring an oracle home is a big plus too.

This may just be the tool I have been looking for to use under Linux. So far I used Toad under Windows but unfortunately it won’t run under Linux (I haven’t tried wine to get Toad working).
To start Raptor under Linux, a few things need to be done. First of all, the raptor script included in the zip file needs its permissions modified to make it executalbe:

# cd
# chmod 755 raptor

where is the directory Raptor was unzipped to. Next I noticed the raptor script assumes it is started from the directory. In order to make it run from any directory it is invoked from, I defined an evironmental veriable called RAPTOR_HOME like this in my .bashrc file

export RAPTOR_HOME=/usr/local/raptor

Modify the path to meet your requirements. Next, I modified the raptor script to be like this

cd $RAPTOR_HOME/jdev/bin/
sh ./raptor

Now it runs from wherever I invoke the script.
