Thanks Frank,

However, I was not looking for just a simple PLSQL debugger since Toad can do that. However, in Oracle Formsbuilder there is a very good debugger that allows one to set break points in the code and step through the execution of the application one line at a time and also see the block variables and set Watch variables as well. I was wondering if there is something like that for Oracle Application Express?
