While I was preparing for the presentation at Amis Academy about CodeGen I created an example to build an XML file based on data in the table. I started out with a script based on the (old) DEPT table (yes, I know, it’s very Oracle 7 to use these old tables).

Mix and Match QDA and ‘old style PL/SQL’…
I am using the QDA (Quest Development Architecture) in a project that is running for about 10 years now. Instead of doing a ‘big-bang’ conversion I decided to use the QDA for new modules of the project that are being developed. I am using QDA packages for new tables. While we also do maintenance on […]
Read moreBack from holiday…
After a short holiday in Landal Greenparks I am back home again. We enjoyed a nice stay in a small cottage and we did some sightseeing in the 10 days we were in Germany. The kids really enjoyed the swimming pool and the indoor playground. But when we went to see places, they mostly liked what they saw too. […]
Read moreSoftware Renovation…
Here’s a new idea (well maybe not too new). How about taking an existing database and then building a new front-end to it. I think there are a lot of applications running in companies that are not really up-to-date. Especially with their user-interface. They might even still be Dos/terminal based. Why are these applications still […]
Read moreSome new stuff…
…on the blog (again). I decided to change the skin of the blog again. I had some complaints that the previous colors. They weren't really readable. Too dark. So for now I am using this setup. I also included snap on this site, so you preview the sites I am linking to. Hopefully soon, I have […]
Read moreWill Designer compete with CodeGen??
Oracle Designer 10G now seems to have an extension that will allow you to generate the source code of your choice. Extend Designer generation capabilities using Oracle Designer Extension Builder (ODEB). Generate the source code of your choice from the Designer metadata based on user-defined templates. ODEB also provides a way to export solutions (Driver, […]
Read moreCodegen utility and plug-in
Yesterday, I made a (beta) version available of a utility and a PL/SQL Developer plugin to access the code generated by Qcgu (CodeGen). The fun thing about these two apps is, that they share the same codebase. The plug-in uses the callback functions provided by PL/SQL Developer, while these functions have been implemented in a […]
Read moreCodeGen available
As of now, Quest CodeGen Utility is available from the ToadWorld website. I agreed to Steven to be the administrator of the supplied forum to try and answer all the questions you might have. Between my family life, my fulltime job and the time difference (I live in Europe) I hope to be able to […]

According to Steven Feuerstein’s post on his ToadWorld Blog, CodeTester 1.5 will be available soon. It will not yet fullfill all your testing needs, but it’s a great start. I am one of the moderators of the utPLSQL project (and the creator of the forum used by the community) (also mentioned in the post), but I […]

Is it possible to have a variable indent in the generated code??? {_indent}object lblLabel: TLabel {_indent} Top = 0 {_indent} Left = 10 {_indent}end And that that would result in something like this (with _indent set to 4 spaces): object lblLabel: TLabel Top = 0 Left = […]
