For #JoelKallmanDay I am sharing a free plug-in for reactive Markdown preview. It auto refreshes, supports tables, alerts, etc., and comes with three themes. #orclAPEX hartenfeller.dev/blog/apex-re...

Is SYSDATE Deterministic? #JoelKallmanDay No, SYSDATE is not deterministic. However, it behaves very similarly to a deterministic function within an Oracle Database SQL statement. www.salvis.com/blog/2025/10...

Do you use MERGE statements in your PL/SQL code? Then I recommend not using Oracle SQL Developer for VSCode version 25.3.0 or SQLcl 25.3.0. See forums.oracle.com/ords/apexds/...
