If you are looking for a PL/SQL tool, look at Oracle Procedure Builder. The PL/SQL engine can be run locally (although it's not as up-to-date as the RDBMS's own internal PL/SQL engine) and it contains tracing and debugging. The product isn't as slick as Visual C++ and the Borland tools (like Delphi) in GUI terms, but it's better than nothing. Procedure Builder is an Oracle product which can be bought separately from Dev 2K.
