The maintenance of this service turned out to be very time consuming so I set a notice to the site few months ago and closed the service couple of weeks ago.

If you have any notes you need there I can extract those for you.

I have not used n.otepad.com for some time, but apparently now it doesn’t look like working anymore. It just gives default web hosting provider page. Can you, please, give an update on the state of this nice service? Is it work in progress or you decided not to spend your valuable time on this project anymore?

Thank you in advance.

OK, thx.
No problem, I’ll find another place to host my sql-scripts and take notes (I have a mailaddress to serve as my notes-archive already).

I just did another blogpost with links to scripts-ready-to-run. And I dare someone to run one of mine in a “live” environment (disclaimers in place … I hope ).

But a nice, easy to remember website to store scripts is welcome. I may need to officialize my web-presence to store mine somewhere…

Have a good Evening!

I don’t recommend to run scripts from there (in production at least) as I can’t guarantee that the hosting provider won’t replace the contents of some script with shutdown abort for example ;)

sqlplus’s http/ftp running engine can’t support (session) cookies as far as I know. So you’d need to publish your scripts… and we’d need to implement some plain-text download option.

However please don’t use this service anymore. Due some implementation decisions this service turned out to be very time consuming to maintain (and patch etc). So I’ll be shutting this service down some time. Sorry about this.

but.. (there is always a but, or rather a request for help)

I’m currently on the look for something that will also allow me to run files such as “demo.sql” straight from the web…

SQL> @n.otepad.com/myname/demo.sql

Is that something n.otepad.com can do ?

(as a bonus, you would get plenty of ora-groupies storing their favorite SQL in your tool).

As the whole otepad thing is kind of a prototype, it took quite a lot to get everything moved to new server (lots of dependencies and issues with python & django & libraries which required troubleshooting. I was doing this from my free time and unfortunately I haven’t had much of that lately.

Note that note editing functionality isn’t working right now (it bombs with an exception) but you can access your notes and add/remove them too. I try to look into this in coming weeks.

Unfortunately our company policy does not allow to store work related information outside our own it infrastructure.

Are you planning to release the engine behind n.otepad under a commercial or opensource license.
