Add support for PL/SQL autocomplete in code editor, tables, packages, procedures, apex API reference

gabriel.diaz.arias Public · Apr 28 2023

Idea Summary
Apex code editor is getting amazing, but I really miss PL/SQL autocompletion and apex API reference autocompletion (with usage hints).

Use Case
Improve developer experience by extending the autocomplete features, not just limited to apex items.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
Allow to autocomplete all kind of PL/SQL calls, with parameter autofill and apex API reference usage descriptions and hints.

This is currently on the roadmap for a future release of Oracle APEX.

    Excellent idea

    It is very frustrating to type “begin” in the Apex code editor and have it replaced with “P1_something” after typing the return key to go to the next line.  I can't believe the Apex team has not suffered through this since they have a lot of PLSQL code in Apex own pages like 4000.

    If we can have preference like sql developer, would be great.

    @sshah Praying that this autocomplete is great like vscode, not that like sql developer that is that slow that is unusable and is better to keep it disabled to avoid UI to hang😂
