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 […]

CodeGen 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 […]
Read moreAdding custom functions to Excel
If you are, like me, programming in different languages, maybe you have also noticed that you miss certain functions in a language, which are available in a different language.

I needed a couple of extensions, like the mouse gestures extensions, but I think I got all the functionality I liked in Maxthon embedded in FireFox now. After installing FireFox, I decided to take a look at ThunderBird, since my current email application, […]

I was working on a problem with one of our reports. The customer said it took too long to get results in the report, something like 5 minutes or more. Of course they want to see their results in the blink of an eye, but seeing the kind of calculation and querying that has to […]

Microsoft has released a beta of their blogging software. Windows Live Writer. It has a nice and clean look and feel to it. Of course it was desiigned to work with Windows Live Spaces, but it also works with other blogging software, such as WordPress (the one this blog uses). It's nice to use and […]

According to the Oracle website there are 2 versions available of the 10g XE database. Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Western European) and Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Universal). It appears, after trying to install Qute, that the Western European edition differs from the Universal edition not only by the char setting (Single Byte LATIN-1 […]
