Below, we present 10 productivity hacks with Allround Automations that will take your Oracle development to the next level.

Set Up Custom Keyboard Shortcuts
Customize your keyboard shortcuts in PL/SQL Developer to quickly access the functions you use most. For example, assign a shortcut for the PL/SQL Beautifier and format your code with just one touch.
Automate Repetitive Tasks with Macros
Use the Macro Library in PL/SQL Developer to record and automate repetitive tasks. This is ideal for code refactoring or executing common scripts.
Optimize Debugging with Conditional Breakpoints
Instead of stopping at every line of code, configure Conditional Breakpoints in the Integrated Debugger to trigger only when certain conditions are met, saving you time when tracking down errors.
Use Code Folding to Keep Your Work Organized
Code Folding allows you to collapse sections of your code that you don’t need to see at the moment, keeping your workspace clean and focused on the most relevant parts.
Refactor with a Click
With the Refactoring Assistant, you can rename variables, change the structure of functions, and optimize code with just a few clicks, without worrying about breaking your program’s logic.
Quick Access to Documentation and Help
Integrate Oracle documentation directly into PL/SQL Developer to access contextual help and object descriptions without leaving your development environment.
Create Advanced Reports with Query Reporter
Query Reporter not only allows you to run SQL queries but also to generate detailed reports in HTML format. Customize the reports with specific colors, fonts, and layouts for more professional presentations.
Leverage Multithreading in Plyxon
Plyxon allows you to run multiple processes in parallel. Use it to divide large workloads across different threads, improving the speed and efficiency of your development projects.
Keep Your Code Clean Automatically
Set up the PL/SQL Beautifier to automatically format your code when compiling, saving, or opening files. This ensures that your code is always readable and standardized.
Simplify Database Connections with Direct Oracle Access
Eliminate the need for the BDE and connect directly to any Oracle database using Direct Oracle Access in Delphi or C++Builder, simplifying setup and improving performance.

Bonus Hack: Use Code Templates to Accelerate Development

Create and save Code Templates for common SQL and PL/SQL patterns. This way, you can quickly insert repetitive structures with just a few keystrokes, saving time and avoiding errors.
