Chapter 15. PLVvu: Viewing Source Code and Compile Errors
The PLVvu (PL/Vision View) package offers a set of programs which allow you to view both stored source code and compile errors. It provides an alternative to the SQL*Plus SHOW ERRORS command, which offers you significantly more information about your compile problem. It allows you to quickly scan PL/SQL source code stored in the data dictionary.
This chapter shows you how to use the PLVvu programs and also explores the steps involved in constructing a utility like PLVvu. Before diving into the programs provided by PLVvu, however, let's review the situation most PL/SQL developers around the world face on a daily basis as they try to compile their code.
