OOW07 Day 4: My presentation + Last day.OOW07: The day after + heading back to Belgium.

Oracle Application Express (APEX) 3.1 ready for yo.

on my Windows Vista pc I'm obliged to go for SQL Developer as TOAD is not working with my Oracle 11g client. This post isn't to favor for SQL Developer, it's just to warn you. I'm using both SQL Developer and TOAD as I think both have strengths and points to improve.

Or go for SQL Developer, a free alternative of Oracle.Ī screenshot of the error 'OCI version 11.1.0.1.0 is not supported' It's hard to believe that you need to install an Oracle Server just to get your development environment (TOAD) running -) Nevertheless, a workaround is to install Oracle 10g client, which I don't want to do as I'm connecting to 11g databases. My only suggestion for you is to install another client on your machine that is 10gR2 version or lower.' In less than a day I got a message back that they were going to try it themselves, it went even to the technical people (development team) and after a few mails of back and for I got this final message: 'Unfortunately, it was confirmed by our team's technical lead that Toad version 9.5 only support Oracle server 11g and not Oracle client 11g. The support over there is really quick and helpful. But even more important, the version that comes out half of November, TOAD 9.5 (see screenshot below which is a beta), isn't working with the Oracle 11g client neither! The current release of TOAD is 9.1, this version is not supported with Oracle 11g (client). Nevertheless, this post is to warn all developers out there using Quest TOAD for Oracle. Are you already on Oracle Database 11g? If you're not, it's really cool -)
