I looking for a debugger for PL/SQL also. I went to your homepage and I didn't find any information about a debugger. Don't claim to have a debugger when all you have is an editor a debugger provides:

1. Dynamic breakpoints. It should support at the minimum simple conditional and unconditional breakpoints.
2. Tracing. That is trace when specified procedures/functions are executed. Trace when variables are set. Would be nice to trace status of when packages are rolled-in/out.
3. Dynamic code changes would be nice but not neccessary.

A pretty editor is nice, but first give me a fully functional debugger. A SQL script is not PL/SQL. Or are you claiming that your SQL script Processor/Editor will step through PL/SQL packages and edit PL/SQL statements on the fly as you execute them?
