PL/SQL Syntax Colors for SQL Developer

Introduction

This repository provides settings for syntax highlighting of PL/SQL & SQL code in Oracle SQL Developer, Version 21.2.1.

The alternative Arbori program improves the settings as follows:

• Handle keywords used as identifiers.
• Consider fully qualified logging calls including final semicolon.
• Distinguish between comments and optimizer hints.

The Arbori program works with any color scheme.
