oracle10g - Run 2 queries at the same time on Oracle SQL Developer?

Question

I need to retrieve quite a bit of data from our oracle DB and to do so I need to run 20+ queries. Is there any way to run more than one query at a time on the same connection?

I tried using / to separate the queries, but that simply opens multiple tabs and queries still run sequentially, although I don't have to start them one by one.

Answer 1

Pressing ctrl+shift+N will open a new unshared worksheet that can run queries in parallel. In that case you have to paste a query in each tab and run them manually though, but it is handy when just testing a few queries.
