We want to get some missing functionality into Toad for Oracle. The goal is to add a menu entry that allows to access and modify the text in the editor.
Is there some documented plugin interface (like for Eclipse) to write extensions for Toad?
Toad still (2021) lacks a Plugin API or Plugin SDK for developing extensions for Toad.
Following official and not offical answer from Toad's forum:
No, we don’t provide an API for this, but Toad does support command
line execution. That means you could call a specific function in Toad
via the Automation Designer feature (read the Help) and perform a
specific task.
Take a look at the Toad Help on Command Line Syntax and Execute
Actions from the Command Line and let me know if this helps.
It sounds a little ironic because Now Toad itself has developed a Plugin for Microsoft SSMS. And it means that Toad uses Plugin API of other software extensively, not providing API itself.

From the last few days, i am trying to figure out best reporting tools for my work. I have mongoDB database server and now i need to integrate it with reporting tool. For mongoDB i used the C binding so i am looking for a reporting tool in C/C++. I came across some great tools like BIRT, Jaspersoft and Pentaho but i didn't get clean answer whether they have support for C/C++. So my question is do they have C/C++ binding or API?.
Also if you have some other tools recommendation for my work then please share that also.
To answer your question: No, these tools don't have a C/C++ API.
However, as Stennie pointed out in the comment, this shouldn't really be necessary, as you can use them with a http API. If you really want to use integrate them tightly with a C/C++ program, consider embedding Java into your program and see Embed Java into a C++ application?.
I am new to sakai, i want to add my own tool in sakai source code like announcement,syllabus...etc That tool having some my own functionality for this what i have to do, how can i develop my own tool in sakai.
Thanks.
Use one of the archetypes to get you started, then customise it. When you are comfortable you can change the UI layer to be whatever you like.

If you are looking for a solid "base" tool shell to begin with tool development my recommendation would be to start here: "Sakai Wicket Maven Archetype". There are a few other very good archetypes available but are often outdated and may cause you some problems based on my experience. This has been the one I've had the most success with.
This uses Wicket but does not mean you have to use Wicket to develop further with it. Make sure to pull the 1.2 version as last check the binaries for the others were not available yet so replace -DarchetypeVersion=1.4.1 with -DarchetypeVersion=1.2 It will compile and deploy successfully as a tool "as-is" that you can modify as needed. It also allows you to code in Java to directly access the sakai API and pull from its database or even add your own tables. I've successfully used it with NetBeans 8.0.1 and MySQL 5.6 under Windows 7 with Maven 3.2.3 and Sakai 10.1.
The code is well-documented and is no-frills but with enough varied functional use examples to allow you to do "almost" anything you want. The wicket manual is 600+ pages but in my experience you should be able to accomplish a lot just by looking at the code in the archetype.
Is there any IDE which allow to produce .fmx file extension, Actually i am developing filemaker plugin with .fmx extension so that i can simply put it in "Extension" folder in where tha all plugin is resided used by filemaker pro application software and start using, when i tried to search extension .fmx in visual basic 2008 then it didn't show any result , still i am searching over internet, but i am not able to find. please sugest me some alternative, or some thing related
Thanks,
Nishant
FileMaker plug-ins are regular Win32 DLLs. The .fmx extension is just a custom extension. I'm not sure you can produce such a DLL with Visual Basic or C# (but I'm not an expert in these); you might have to use Visual C++.
Check out http://www.dotnet2fm.com/ They provide a tool to write filemaker plugin in c#
How would I go about extending the functionality of windows explorer in XP?
Is there some way whereby I could create a "plugin" of some sorts that could hook into explore.exe to add additional folder browsing functionality? What language could I use to achieve this?
This is an expansion of a question I asked here.
There's a great series of tutorials on CodeProject which might help you. C++ is required there.
There is an old O'reilly book called 'Visual Basic Shell Programming' that explains the API's for this in some detail. While taken from a VB6-centric point of view, the API's are all exposed through COM, so they can be used from any language that supports this. This article discusses using the windows shell with .Net and a tool to build an interop assembly.
I've evaluated some plugins from official IntelliJ repository, but none of them seems to provide more then basic syntax highlighting. Even highlighting is limited. For example, Database Navigator doesn't highlight IF. It would be great to have proper highlighting. And if it would have auto-complete feature and provide file structure view I would be completely happy.
I use SQL Query Plugin when I need to post some little stuff to database or to query something from it. I use PL/SQL Developer when I need to make more complex things, or when I need to modify PL/SQL. But most of the time I need to navigate through mix of Java, JavaScript and PL/SQL code. Unfortunately, SQL Query Plugin doesn't help with that as well as PL/SQL Developer.
Have you tried SQL Query Plugin? It comes with a great host of features, including multiple query windows, direct editing of tables, and of course, proper highlighting for PL/SQL syntax and a browser of the internal database structure.
It also integrates well with the main editor: you can right-click on any selected Java string containing SQL and "Send to SQLPlugin" to strip out all of the quotes and non-SQL syntax.
I've started using the SQL Code Assistant plugin that instantly has recognised my PL/SQL packages and all these PL/SQL constructs (cursors etc) which the out-of-the-box IntelliJ functionality couldn't understand and was marking red. As of now it cannot only recognise dblinks but that's fair enough. Of course you'll have to associate *.sql file types with the plugin but it will intellij-ently inform you after you install/restart the IDE.
