What works

Basic functionality (code editor, sql window, object browser) work fairly well.

What does not

1) If you open more than one instance of PL/SQL Developer and then minimize and maximize them a number of times, the display becomes messed up and unusable.Â This is a major issue since I commonly have numerous instances of PL/SQL Developer open connected to different schemas and databases.

2) drag and drop files from KDE4 Dolphin to PL/SQL Developer doesn't work.

3) red X shows up when opening browser folder.

4) if you open a single instance of PL/SQL Developer and minimize and then maximize; thisÂ causes the minimize button on menu bar to disappear.

Workarounds

What was not tested

tested only most commons operations (sql window, code editor, test window)

Additional Comments

For any hard-core PL/SQL developer, the issue with opening multiple instances of PL/SQL developer and then having the display getting messed up makes it unusable. I use PL/SQL developer on windows on daily basis 90% of day and always have many instances open.

HowTo / Notes

PL/SQL Developer HOWTO

To successfully run PL/SQL Developer on wine you need to follow this steps:
0. Review associated bugs and limitations of chosen version and vote for them;
1. Install the latest possible wine version. Please note, in versions 1.3.22 and 1.3.23 there is regression, so do not use them;
2. Download Oracle Instant Client 32bit windows, version 11.1.0.7.0. Higher versions currently hang on use.
3. Unzip it in your drive c oracle directory, presumably .wine/drive_c/oracle;
4. Copy there tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora , where your database connection strings are described;
5. Install PL/SQL Developer as usual;
6. When running PL/SQL Developer you need to pass some environment variables to show where Oracle client lives and some language variables:
env LC_ALL=bg_BG.UTF-8 ORACLE_HOME="C:\ORACLE" NLS_LANG="BULGARIAN_BULGARIA.CL8MSWIN1251" TNS_ADMIN="C:\ORACLE" wine "C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\PLSQLDev.exe"
This is the commandline string I use for Bulgarian locale and you should change it for your case.
