Missing Features in Debugging

user-7kpatMar 21 2023

I tried the new PL/SQL debugging features in Oracle Developer Tools for VS code v21.5.0

Looks nice generally but I am missing some very important features:

-Global Constant Values can not be inspected.
-Global Variable Values can not be inspected.
-Global Collection Values can not be inspected.
-The step into feature can not be activated in the debugger settings. That makes it almost impossible to debug scripts. In SQLDeveloper when step into is set the debugger stops on the first line of the script to execute. I could not find a way to achieve the same in VS code.

All those features above are working in _SQLDevelope_r and are extremely powerful. As long as the debugging capabilities of Oracle Developer Tools for VS are not as powerful as in SQLDeveloper a switchover to VS code is not possible for us, although we would really like to…

Are there plans to activate the full power of the Debugger and is there a timeline for that?
