PLSQL.EXE? I don't think that you really want to use Notepad++ to open your EXE files.

Anyway: run Notepad++, go to Settings - Preferences - File Association tab. There's SQL in supported extensions, but you can add any other you want - Click "Customize", put (for example) .PKB, .PKS, ... into a field (one by one) and move them into the "Registered extensions".

That would be SQL*Plus executable, I suppose.

If that's true, your request is still awkward, Sultan. Are you saying that you'd want to run your scripts directly from Notepad++ (instead of starting a tool that is used to connect to the database, such as SQL*Plus, and then running the script itself)? If so, I'm afraid that Notepad++'s capabilities are far from that.

Never heard of such an option, sorry. Perhaps you should ask people in your previous office. Don't forget to share the solution (once you find it).

I'm sure it's actually the other way around. Have a file open in Notepad++ and execute that file with sqlplus.exe

That can be configured in Notepad++ in the Command configuration

*Maybe* I found the way:

  • Run Notepad++
  • Press F6 (executes NppExec plugin) or go to Plugins - NppExec - Execute ...
  • Into the Command(s) window, put the following lines:
    npp_save
    cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)
    sqlplus scott/tiger@ora10

    It is supposed to
    - save the current file
    - go to current directory
    - start SQL*Plus
  • The Console window is opened, with you connected as Scott:
    /forum/fa/9384/0/
  • Now edit your SQL script, save it. Run it in the Console window using "@file_name" syntax:
    /forum/fa/9385/0/


I'm not that smart myself, great help was this walkthrough.

I don't know whether it is possible to run the current file using some keyboard shortcut (yes, I saved my NppExec plugin command script, created a shortcut (Ctrl + E), but this just opens a console, it doesn't run the SQL script itself).

Maybe someone else knows how to do that; for me, @file_name is good enough.

1 question : just tell me any 1 using oracle database 10g enterprise edition that, does the sql*plus window look like this 1???

/forum/fa/9388/0/

cause this is the thing i was looking for.
If it is included in oracle database 10g enterprise edition
then problem is solved.

just tell me someone whether it looks like it or not....

That's sqlplusw - the GUI version of sqlplus. It's included with the oracle client install.

V10 is no longer fully supported.
Does sqlplusw exist for any supported Oracle version?
