Devel 3.0 released

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

I have finally open sourced my Oracle database IDE, Devel 3.0.

It does not have as many features as its competitors but it is much, much faster.
The whole program is 1Mb and starts under a second.
If you are working with Oracle database, doing SQL or PL/SQL, it is worth a try.

The program has been originally written 10 years ago and has been updated up to 1999 but it still does the job and does it well.
After some deep digging I found the CD with the sources and I finally updated the project to compile with Visual Studio 2005, added copyrights in the sources, updated the contact information and uploaded the sources & executable on Google Code.

Kudos to Oracle for staying backward compatible from 7.3.4 up to 10.2 (I still have to try 11.0)
Kudos to Microsoft for being able to load project files from 4 releases back.
