Super annoying issue in this version: variable substitution pops up for every & characters — even with SET DEFINE OFF in the script. If your cursor is below the SET DEFINE OFF; line in a .sql file, it still triggers the prompt. You have to place the cursor above it to run the file.

I am getting this also. Have to scroll to the top every time I compile a package.

@npilot.bsky.social the core issue is bigger than it appears on the surface but try this workaround in your script/login instead of SET DEFINE OFF Try SET DEFINE £ -- or some other uncommon symbol That should prevent the substitution prompting The fix-fix is due for 25.2.

Just a tad annoying with VS Code...any update to any extension will restart them all...and disconnect all SQL Developer connections.

So don't restart them till you're ready?

Very nice, thanks Jeff and team 👍 Your example of multiselecting is fine when first clicking a folder. What I did: - click one connection - it opens! - shift-click some more. - move them to folder. I was unnecessarily connecting to db just to do reorg. Can I ask for connect on double-click only?

That is a VS Code setting : workbench tree. Set “expandmode” to doubleclick
