SQL sql developer color coding

Question

Is there a way to color code a database connection in Oracle SQL Developer? I know TOAD can do this. I want prod to have a RED background and a DEV with a green background, so that it is easy to find out which system I'm working at any time.

Greetings

Answer 1

Yes. New feature for version 4.0

The connection has the property "Connection color". This color will be filled to the border of each editor assigned to this connection.

In addition, the name of the connection in the tree and any new selection tool / connection dialog will also be marked with this color.

Answer 2

You can vote for this feature in the Oracle SQL Developer Exchange .

Answer 3

You cannot color them at present. I prefix my Production connection with an asterisk to indicate the same thing (since I don't want to expand folders every time).

The My Connections panel is as follows:

Connections |+ "Unused" (folder for rarely used connections) |- "*PROD* - user@tnsalias" |- "DEV - user@tnsalias" |- "TEST - user@tnsalias" 

I find it useful to include the user and tnsalias in the name of my connection so that he can see how and where I connect. +

Answer 4

No, that I know. You can create folders on the Connection tab and add such a connection there, although it is not enough to use it if the connection tab is minimized.
