SQLDeveloper: execute current line without highlighting

Question

In Toad one can easily execute current line without highlighting it. Let say, you have a worksheet like this:

select * from item -- cursor here


select * from p         


        

Answer 1

If you have a block (anonymous or such) of code before your sql statement, make sure to end with forward slash, for the CTRL+enter to work.

CTRL+Enter on the select sysdate statement below works in second example below, but not on the first example.

Example 1:

begin
NULL;
end;

select sysdate from dual; -- press CTRL+Enter on this statement

Example 2:

begin
NULL;
end;
/

select sysdate from dual; -- press CTRL+Enter on this statement
