Frequently Asked Questions

I get the error "Could not reserve enough space for …KB object heap". What’s wrong?

You are probably using a 32-bit Java version and trying to configure more than 1GB of heap space, e.g. -Xmx2048m.

Define either -Xmx1024m or use a 64-bit Java version.

I get the error "The system cannot find the path specified". What’s wrong?

Check if you have defined the correct JAVA_HOME environment variable in the .cmd/.sh file.

On Windows the java.exe is located in the %JAVA_HOME%\bin directory.

What are the limitations?

See parser limitations and validator limitations.

What has changed in the latest version?

See the release information for each version.

What is the difference between "db* CODECOP" and "db* CODECOP for SQL Developer"?

db* CODECOP is a standalone command line utility. It processes SQL*Plus scripts within a directory tree and produces an HTML report and an Excel workbook. It reports metrics on file and PL/SQL unit level as well as violations of the Trivadis PL/SQL & SQL Coding Guidelines Version 4.2.

db* CODECOP for SQL Developer is a cost-free extension to Oracle’s SQL Developer. It processes the content of an editor window and produces a HTML report which is similar to the one of db* CODECOP but reduced and adapted to the scope of a single editor window. Additionally the violations of the Trivadis PL/SQL & SQL Coding Guidelines Version 4.2 are presented in a dedicated tab pane linked to the editor window to support quick navigation to the corresponding code.
