I'm using an Oracle SQL Developer and it's built in code formatting settings are far away from being fine.
there is an option to setup a custom format, instead of using external tools like notepad++ with it's plugins, but I get lost in the code.
So I have 2 questions:
where can I get tutorial about code formatting customization?
Can someone share an enhanced format configuration file?
There are good tutorials on Pluralsight about code formatting in SQL developer.

I´m evaluating in using YII framework for an application. This app has 2 requirements very important. First is Reporting. I have to make a lot of Reports and subreports. The Second is that reports have to be exported to word, pdf and xls.
I understand that PHP is not very friendly with reporting tools. I think the best could be Jasper Reports?. But that tool can help me with that 2 points?
Have you use reporting tools with advance reports in php? could you give me an advice?
Thanks.
I am working on JasperReports for the last few months. Its extremely user friendly. The 2 points which you mentioned are very well covered in Jasper. You can do 'n' number of reports, subreports, adhocs, olaps,charts and many more. Exporting options are great. There are around 11 formats in which you can export the reports. I have not used yii or any other reporting tool. For reporting and advanced reporting options, Jasperreports works brilliant. You may want to check out this link for more information.
I am doing a Yii project at the moment. I have not used a great deal of reporting tools, and have not checked out Jasper yet.
But for excel the best reporting tool I have found has been PHPExcel. I extended the factory and built my own code around it to work with my data.
Also if you want to report into MS Word, it might be easier to write your data to RTF files.
I have found PDF's and Text/Word Documents tend to not be too flash for reporting. Excel seems to be the most useful so far. I use PHPExcel with both openoffice on linux and MS Excel and I write all my own reports.

Jasper Reports is a great tool for reporting but it require Java and the integration with PHP require the Java bridge which may not be accessible specially in shared hosting, a good alternative is PHPJasperXML, which takes Jasper Reports and render them on PHP natively, also it exports to PDF and Excel.
I don't know if it could help but exists https://github.com/cossou/JasperPHP in the Laravel framework, somebody could adapt it for Yii2 and use it with composer.
Anyone know of a good solution for pdf generation (preferably with a visual layout tool) that I can use from ColdFusion instead of the CF Report Builder? It should be able to accept cfquery input.
Basically is there anything better than the crusty Adobe offering out there?
EDIT: With CF 11 and the "pixel-to-pixel" rendering of "most" CSS and HTML (see https://wikidocs.adobe.com/wiki/display/coldfusionen/PDF+Generation+in+ColdFusion+11), I wonder if anyone has attempted to do anything along the lines of 'normal reports', like page numbering, page breaks, etc. - the more traditional 8.5"x11" oriented features. I'm a bit leery of trying to just do a drop-in replacement for CF Report Builder for this reason, knowing that HTML has no concept (in the browser) of discrete pages and page breaks.
obviously you can use cfdocument to what you want, but good luck getting it to look decent. however if you want to go down the route where you generate html using CFML and then have that outputted to a pdf, you can use wkhtmltopdf. If you want a report builder type application, you can use Jaspersoft Studio. BTW ACF's reporting engine is jasper reports under the hood.
Jasper reports is an alternative that Railo folks use, you could give that a try.
I don't think so. The closest thing I am aware of is DreamWeaver. It's been a while but I believe with a Remote Development Service (RDS) password you can build a full dynamic report using the WYSIWYG design view. Add CFDocument tags around it and you have a pdf report. I believe using CFDocument with HTML / CSS is what most developers use in lieu of Report Builder. I could be wrong but I've only seen it used once and judging by the lack of search results, I don't think it was received as well as it was hoped.
Of course you could always use crystal reports and continue using CFReport that way.
If you're using SQL Server you could get away with using SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).
I am not finding any standard open source sql formatter eclipse plugin on net. I am using eclipse helios. I can find Edit-->FormatSQL but that does not seems to be working. Found one at http://ventralnet.blogspot.in/2010/11/sql-beautifier-eclipse-plugin.html
but formatting is not good. Any suggestion will be helpful. For info I am using sqlserver sql scripts.
Toad eclipse-extension (community edition), will get you almost everything you want in an SQL editor, including formatting (ctrl+shif+f). Search for 'toad' in eclipse market place. It has very good Oracle, MySQL and PostgreSQL support.
Take a look at Installation instructions and screenshots.
Another option is http://dbeaver.jkiss.org/download/#eclipse (Which is very good and also has a standalone version)
Some of my favorites are:
Eclipse SQL Explorer at: http://eclipsesql.sourceforge.net
DBViewer at: http://www.ne.jp/asahi/zigen/home/plugin/dbviewer/about_en.html
I am just wondering that whether there is any utility which can help in determining the spelling mistakes in sql objects.
I can only think of getting information of all the sql objects and the save them in any other system (e.g. excel file) and then run a spell checker on it.
I am looking forward for a better way for this, like any plugin for MSSQL.
You can use spell check functionality built in Office as CLR function. Example see here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa537153%28v=office.11%29.aspx
To use this, you need MS Word to be installed on server side.
Is there any SQL editor that supports syntax highlighting, automatic code formatting and code folding? I found this, but it's an Eclipse plugin (I'm a NetBeans user), and cannot automatically format code, which is the most important feature I'm after.
Autocompletion is not important, nor is the possibility of running the code (like the SQL editor in NetBeans).
Edit: I'm sorry for not specifying, I'm looking for Linux or even web-based software.
SQuirreL ticks a lot of your boxes, and has formatting and other plugins and runs on Linux
I'd give it a try at least
Programmers Notepad is a nice little application.
Online SQL Formater http://sqlserverlearner.com/online-tools/tsql-code-formatter
Use VIM.
See this link on how to set it up:
http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Vim-HOWTO.html
Take a look at QweryBuilder. It supports syntax highlighting, automatic code formatting, code folding and auto completion.
