New Features for Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio Release 12.2.0.1.0

Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio release 12.2.0.1.0 includes the following:

• Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2017

  Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio now supports Visual Studio 2017.

• Oracle Database Project Version 2 project type

  The Oracle Database Project Version 2 project type is introduced in this release. It allows you to import your database schema into this project as a set of standardized SQL scripts which can be checked into source control.

  Note: The Generate Create Script to Project Server Explorer menu item is not supported with the Oracle Database Project Version 2 project type. Instead, use Import Schema or Add Existing Item menu items on an Oracle Database Project Version 2 project folder, or use the Schema Compare tool.

• Schema Compare supports comparisons against Oracle Database Project Version 2 project type

  The Schema Compare tool has also been enhanced to allow schema comparisons, diff script generation, and updating between Oracle Database Project Version 2 projects and live database instances or between two different Oracle Database Project Version 2 projects.

• Dependency and References Viewer

  The Dependencies and References Viewer enables you to view the dependencies and references that a database schema object has on other schema objects, both for Oracle Database connections as well as Oracle Database Project Version 2 projects.
