SQL Worksheet gone in 11g client
I just reinstalled my PC and installed a clean OS. I do this every once in a while. I find just formatting and starting over is better that trying to clean the machine up.
My last load consisted of the Oracle 10g client which came with SQL Worksheet. I like SQL Worksheet because it’s not a full dumbed down GUI and yet it gives me a few point-n-click features. Well it looks like Oracle decided to dump a standalone version of SQL Worksheet for embedding it in SQL Developer. I am not a fan.
I feel confined with this new version. I can launch multiple sessions but they all appear within the SQL Developer framework. I was also viewing object using the Enterprise Manager client, well that is gone too. I know I can view all of my database object in SQL Developer, but I don’t like the change.
So now I am using Enterprise Manager Grid Control and SQL Developer. I will use these tools instead of installing the 10g client since Oracle is obviously going in that direction, but I am not doing it willingly.
