Scott, instead of

GROUP BY (your_date_column)

use

GROUP BY TRUNC(your_date_column, 'MM')

Eddie,

I have a question that will probably be pretty easy and straightforward for you. I have a date field that is in mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss.

When I perform a query using the GROUP BY function within Raptor SQL*PLUS in Oracle, it groups by individual day. I want to tell the DB to ignore the day and only GROUP BY the month. Not sure how to do it.

As an FYI, R3 fixed the right-click issue.

I use it as a replacement for sqlplus on my desktop, since I can manage multiple databases at once. However, if I'm changing tablespaces or anything that might damage data, I fire up sqlplus.

They are releasing new builds so fast that I find it hard to track what's changed or what's not. I would wait for the production release before considering using it for "real".

Just noticed that I can no longer right-click the SQL worksheet area in Raptor R2 Build 08.97. CTRL-B still works, however.

Carl, I agree with you, Raptor is not yet a mature product. By the time it is released to production, I'm sure it will be much better.

Hi,
this is a cool feature but not mature enough;
try to format PL/SQL with a named Parameter call :

param => Value

will be beautified to

param = > Value

and is not valid PL/SQL Code anymore.

But indeed a very interesting Tool
The Raptor!!

I must say I'm impressed so far. Now if they would only get EM 10gR2 released.
