I'm sorry to hear this and will be giving the folks over there a hard time about it. Although Redgate doesn't have the following on the Oracle side like they do on the Microsoft SQL side, its still a shame to see it go. With their huge impact on the DevOps, CI/CD with their SQL Provision, (think thin clone with data masking) product plugged in with their SQL Toolbelt, they've got quite the customer base, with Oracle supported stuff just a side gig, (same with MySQL and other db platforms).

Good to know about DDL Wizard.
