SQL Developer code formatting

Problem

I have just cut 'n' paste some SQL code into SQL developer (4.0.2.15). I have a right margin set and selected CTRL+F7 to format it. However I have two problems

  • The code is wider that the right margin I have set



  • The keywords are in capitals and the coding standard here is lowercase.



I have been unable to find how to change this or is this possible?

Solution

I did a google search for the phrase "sql developer code formatting", and the first hit was this:

http://www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2014/03/how-to-make-your-code-look-like-steven-feuersteins-in-oracle-sql-developer/

Have a read through that blog post from Jeff Smith, product manager for SQL Developer. That should explain what you need to do.

Edited to add picture of the relevant options.
