Connecting to Oracle

Hello,

I'm using the portable version 6 of HeidiSQL, well, I'm trying.
I want to connect HeidiSQL to Oracle with parameters but HeidiSQL is blocked when I try to open a connection.

Is there any workaround for this ?

Thank you.
Will.

Oracle is not yet supported by HeidiSQL.

I am just doing the same exercise, finding a good tool for Oracle. My answer is:
* TOAD for Oracle, from Quest software: thé original and most powerful DB dev tool for Oracle. There are trial versions etc.
* SQL Developer, from Oracle: a FREE tool that is very much OK for most of the development and analysis on Oracle Databases.
and then I also found:
* SquirrelSQL: not used, no idea
* OpenOffice Base: an elementary front end in my opinion, but still if you only want to do an easy populate or reporting.

Hello,

I'm using the last version right now 8, but it seems that it's not be able to connect with oracle databases yet.

Will be support in near future? And if the response is yes, When do you plan to do it?

PD: Sorry for my bad english
Thank you

PostgreSQL is currently being implemented. It takes endless hours to add support for another RDBMS. I'd like to but I cannot say if and when Oracle support will ever be added.

I would offer my help. I've got plenty years of knowledge of Oracle SQL Logic but unfortunately i am no Delphi Developer :(

Its 3 years so is Oracle DB finally supported?

[expired user #6082]'s profile image [expired user #6082] posted 6 years ago Permalink

I don't think it is supported. But I am only deducting that from looking at the documentation, not by using HeidiSql just now. BTW, I still support SQL developer as a good de veloping tool for Oracle Databases.

No, it isn't. If unsure, you can always check currently supported engines in the "Network type" combo inside Session Manager. The story is that HeidiSQL is basically a one-man project and adding support for a DBMS is a hugue task.

As about the 3-year interim, it's not as if software features grow by themselves as long as you water them. You're probably thinking of trees ;-)

I was talking about this post:> PostgreSQL is currently being implemented. It takes endless hours to add support for another RDBMS. I'd like to but I cannot say if and when Oracle support will ever be added.

A whole section of the industry moved away from MySQL towards MariaDB simply because Oracle was becoming an asshat. If you want to work with commercial db's like SQL use their commercial support tools. You pay for support after all; if their tools are insufficient go whine where you dropped your wallet.

Ever thought of the fact that Anse would probably have to pay Oracle for actually implementing "their" subsets, seeing how Oracle is handling matters at the moment? Your year-long nagging does not change the fact that a shareware author will hardly pay Oracle big money just so that freeloaders like you shut up nagging.
