Copying SQL out of SQL Developer - Missing rich-text formatting

319111Nov 25 2009 — edited Dec 1 2009
Hello everyone.

We are evaluating migrating our SQL Tool from TOAD to SQL Developer. There is a small but bothersome issue with SQL Developer when copying a Query out of the editor. In TOAD, the SQL Formatting is retained when the Query gets pasted into Word or Outlook. The copy and paste operation copies the query in rich-text format and therefore the nice formating is retained.

SQL developer has also neat formatting capabilities when a query is shown in its editor. As soon as I copy the query outside of SQL developer the formating is lost. It copies only the text.

Is there a setting that needs to be activated for SQL developer to also copy the rich formating to the clipboard?

We are using the SQL developer version 1.5.5

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Rgds,
Gonzalo
