I don’t have an Oracle database to test on right now, but as I remember it, you just need to add a ”/” after the last line, as you would in a script:

...
end loop;
end;
/

I can submit queries but when I try to create a procedure it does not work.

create or replace procedure test1
as

v_table varchar2(100);
v_space_name varchar2(100);
begin
for rec in (select table_name, tablespace_name from user_tables)
loop
v_table := rec.table_name;
v_space_name := rec.tablespace_name;
dbms_output.put_line(‘Table ’||v_table||’ is in ’||v_space_name||’ tablespace.’);
end loop;
end;

I select the whole command and run it using shift-command-R.I get connected as … and SQL*Plus existed.

I check and the procedure is not created. I copy and paste it in sqlplus in terminal and it compiles fine.

Anyone else with this issue? Any way to get the error message back in Textmate?

I think it would be best to have just one version of the bundle, and since you already have everything setup at Google Code, I suggest that’s the current version going forward.

I have made a few minor changes to the bundle since posting the preview on my blog. I’ll shoot you an email about how we get the changes merged—that is, if you think it’s a good idea making your version the current from now on.

http://code.google.com/p/oracle-textmate-bundle/

I have kept the commands, but I have incorporated a syntax (rather than use the builtin TextMate “SQL” bundle which is not really suited to PL/SQL), better folding and indenting support and a number of code snippets which people should find useful.

If you wish to include any (or all!) of my changes into your copy, then please, feel free. :)

I will try to keep my version up-to-date with features I feel are useful.

To answer your questions:

The URL you use for search is great! I will definitely change the URL in the bundle to use this.

I don’t know why you need to remove the quotes from the connect string, it’s working fine for me with Instant Client on a MBP. I will look into it when I have more time.

I usually set my username/password/connectstring in the project and not in the general TextMate preferences. See chapter 9.4 (Project Dependent Variables) in the TextMate Help. Of course you could also use a combination of this, e.g. set the connectstring in TextMate preferences and username/password on a per project basis.

You could also modify the “Open in SQL*Plus” command to fit your needs. Remove the password from the commandline and add the script you want to run. This way SQL*Plus should launch in Terminal and prompt you for a password.

I had to make the following changes to get it to work on my Macbook Pro,
especially since I don’t have a full Oracle install on my Macbook and only
have instant client setup.

Here are the few changes I made for your reference:

For search I used this url:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/search?remark=quick_search&word=$query

I had to also change the following

”$ORA_USER”/”$ORA_PWD”@”$ORA_CONNECT”
TO
$ORA_USER/$ORA_PWD@$ORA_CONNECT

Since I am a programming noob, just wanted to see if the following would be
possible in the oracle bundle.

Since I regularly have to connect to multiple servers it would be nice if I
could override the default connection parameters $ORA_USER, $ORA_PWD,
$ORA_CONNECT (set in env) in each file/script in lets say the first line. (
or even better enter it interactively)

I know I can easily hack this in a very simple/basic/dumb way
as follows

Create a new command in the bundle as :

----------cut----------
query=${TM_SELECTED_TEXT:-$TM_CURRENT_LINE}

. "$TM_SUPPORT_PATH/lib/webpreview.sh"
html_header "Run Selection or Line"

NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
export NLS_LANG

sqlplus -S -L /NOLOG <<EOF
set define off
set pagesize 0
whenever sqlerror exit failure rollback
prompt </pre>
set markup html on
$query
set markup html off
prompt <pre>
show errors
prompt </pre>
EOF

echo "SQL*Plus exited."
html_footer
----------cut----------

But this requires that I expose the username and password.

Do you know if its possible to either obfuscate at least the password or
enter it on demand ?
