Still no functionality in VS Code for the scheduler

Thanks for that. Improving metadata is something I’ve been planning as I assume it could give more context to LLM’s. I know some tooling show the comments, but what plans are there to make these annotations visible in day SQL Developer for VS Code or APEX?

OMG finally! I had my doubts it would ever be offered outside Oracle cloud. Thank you for the update!

Hm cool I will definitely try that out. I wonder how simple it is to add the APEX documentation. Or for that matter, other software systems.

Wow that’s lame!

Why even bother creating AI content, when it will mostly feed into AI that doesn’t give hits/views/clicks and the ad revenue to pay for itself?

Sounds awesome! I hope there will be a recording available. I’ll be in west coast traffic at 7.

Thanks for this! I always thought too how annoying it was to have to figure out in a list of 20 columns which one to change. Massive improvement!

Is that half an hour, or comma separator for decimal?

I wish there was an easy way to find everything marked legacy. This tool on GitHub is very useful also. github.com/OliverLemm/a...

Well, ChatGPT will do your homework for you, and will happily answer the same question a million times. Humans rightfully don’t want to do either.

Perhaps it was my interpretation when i last looked up the url syntax and saw it referred to as “legacy” docs.oracle.com/en/database/...
App Builder User's Guide
f?p URL Syntax is a legacy syntax that creates a unique URL structure that identifies the address of Oracle APEX, the application ID, page number, and session ID.

Hm well I’m on 22.2 still. I am planning to upgrade and I was sure I’d seen somewhere that numeric URL’s were deprecated, and friendly url would be the path forward. I reread all the release notes from 23.1 to 24.2 and couldn’t find it though. Don’t think it was my imagination (shrug)

However that makes sending letters more difficult in rural areas. Not sure the best answer. Happy with it being a service, but there could probably be *some* waste reduction.

I do still miss a few things 1) ability to get column names from the results grid, or expand select *, to easily write a select query. 2) can’t select all / copy all easily from the results grid.

Excellent release! I’ve migrated to VS Code for almost everything, and this release really makes an improvement for some of the missing items (commit/rollback, folders). The only thing I use the Java one for anymore is when I need to change things in the scheduler.

I need an AI to translate that for me. Hopefully it can figure out what language is being used here.

In my experience, it’s natural that a front end like react would use REST, but a backend in Go would talk to the database with a driver library (no official option yet). Granted this can work, but I’m curious about performance for a server level application.

Ahhh ok thank you for that! We normally are in a single workspace so didn’t even think of it.
