    Hey Jeff – do you know if there are any plans to add functionality in the new VS Code extension to give me a notification when I log into one of my connections that my password is going to expire soon? It used to happen in the old SQL Developer Java version which was useful so I knew to change it before it expired, since it wasn’t possible (as far as i know) to change the password after it expires through the SQL Developer app and I had to go to through the SQLPlus (now SQLcl CLI tool) to change the password.

    Many thanks,
    Jack

    We have our own tailored data dictionary viewer, implemented using node.JS.

    Thinking it might be a nice feature if we could add a button to call out to an API that generates a model diagram, as SQL Developer does.

      Theoretically yes, it’s there for SQL Developer Web –
      but
      1 – requires ORDS
      2 – assumes dictionary is in an oracle database

    Jeff, is there any prospect of an API to create models the way SQL Developer does when you click on a table and it returns the immediate neighbours?

      An API to create a model? How exactly would you use this API, or what would the expected output look like?
