Using the DBMS Output Tab
The DBMS Output tab is only available for Oracle databases. It is used to capture messages produced by stored procedures, packages, and triggers. These messages are typically inserted in the code for debugging purposes. For SQL*Plus users, the corresponding feature is enabled via the set serveroutput on command. To enable display of DBMS messages in DbVisualizer,
- Select the DBMS Output tab
- Press the Enable button.
Once DBMS output is enabled, the icon in the tab header is changed. Invoking a stored procedure that produces messages in the SQL Commander results in content similar to this in the output tab. (Each block of output is separated with a timestamp).
