Released: Jan 31, 2018

Updates in 12.1.8

Features

• The connect dialog is now able to list TNS service names in the combo box, even if an Oracle Instant Client is used. Therefore, you have to provide the location of a tnsnames.ora file in the TNS_ADMIN Windows environment variable.
• The file path of Oracle Home in the connect dialog can now be extended to a different [TNS_ADMIN] location (if defined using the TNS_ADMIN environment variable or the TNS_ADMIN registry entry). This path overrides the default location of the tnsnames.ora file in %oracle_home%\rdbms\admin.
• Starting with Oracle 12c release 2, object names are no longer restricted to a maximum of 30 characters. For databases, the KeepTool length check has been updated to be 128 characters.
• The order of Hora’s sidebar icons now matches the order of the corresponding main menu items.
