Completion Insight seldom works

Running ver. 3.1.07. Completion Insight seldom/seldom/seldom works. I have it turned on. Suggestions.
I thought I sent a debug/trace file with a new thread but can't find it and don't find the directions recreate the debug/trace file.
Any suggestions.
Can't send u a debug file as I could never get the exe to execute from the gin dir.

Hi,
Completion Insight seldom/seldom/seldom worksis a bit vague. You can always download the current 3.2 release (3.2.09.30) and try that out -- each release has bug fixes. I do recall something about it not working in the scenario File | Open | SQL File , even after selecting a connection. Not sure if that was fixed for 3.2, or is queued up for 3.2.1.
Otherwise please provide a specific description of incorrect behavior with a detailed test case.

Can't get completion insight to work

Hi all,
I just can't get completion insight to work on the newer releases of sqldeveloper. It works fine until Version 1.5.5 Build MAIN-5969. However on both Version 2.1.0.62 Build MAIN-62.61 and Version 2.1.0.63 Build MAIN-63.73 it justn't work no matter what settings I use.
I have run both the builds from \sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.exe and no exceptions are reported.
This is the console output from 2.1.0.63

This console output says that the completion insight queries are executing - the first example took ~ 3.5 seconds and the second example took ~ 39 seconds. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell you how many records it returned.
If you copy the queries out of the console output and run them manually, do you get any results? For example, the second query would be:
select 'TABLE' type, ''||o.owner# owner, name object_name, null column_name, null column_id, null data_type
FROM sys.obj$ o
where o.name not like 'BIN%'
and o.type# = 2

Completion Insight not working

A customer is using the same version of SQL Developer on the same workstation platform as myself. My Completion Insight works, his does not.
SQL Developer version 3.1.07 on Windows 7 Professional.
Completion Insight is enabled under Tools->Preferences->Completion Insight. Regardless of this setting the ctl + <space> shortcut works instantly for me, but under no circumstances for the customer.
I made a test account on the DB that mirrors customer's privileges - my Completion Insight using the test account still works, so the problem must be with local to his install.
I verified his SQL Developer files came from the same zip file I used for my own installation.
Any ideas what is preventing his Completion from working?

You might consider upgrading your customer to the latest release, v3.2.20.09
In the meantime, I've noticed completion insight NOT working when there's a syntax/parsing issue. For example, what's in the worksheet code wise when they try it?
With an empty worksheet, if they type select * from <ctrl><space>, does nothing come back?

Code completion(insight) not working in SQL Developer Version 2.1.1.64

I recently downloaded SQL developer Version 2.1.1.64. However the code completion feature is not working automatically. I have checked the Automatically complete code in SQL worsheet checkbox under Tools->Preferences-> Code Editor-> Completion Insight.
Strangely, I get the code completion pop up window when I explicitly press the completion insight shortcut(Ctrl + Space).
Please help.
Thanks and Regards.

Completion Insight not working correctly when using Enterprise User Security (EUS) logon

This is a pre existing issue we've experienced with SQL Developer, though I've only just worked out what is causing the issue it is present in previous versions of the tool, up to the current 4.0.EA2.
We experience issues with the Completion Insight functionality of SQL Developer.
When we log into a database using Enterprise User Security i,e authenticating against OID, the schema of the database account is prefixed to any reference to public synonyms, ie all user_%, all_%, dba_% and v$% views.
When I change the authentication of the database account back to normal database authentication the schema prefix correctly isn't shown. It simply suggests the synonym name of the views.
An example of this is as follows when attempting to query the DBA_TABLES view:
The database account is ORADBA and has DBA privs.
The EUS user that is mapped to the ORADBA schema is dbutler.
The ORADBA user is configured to authenticate externally (against OID).
I login with my dbutler directory credentials:
If I start typing:
select * from dba_tabl
The object name is suggested as ORADBA.dba_tables
If I change the authentication of the ORADBA account back to database authentication, the prefix is no longer present.
i.e If I start typing:
select * from dba_tabl
The object name is suggested as dba_tables

If you're not using DB 10.2 this is the "expected" behavior for the DB. See also metalink note 351170.1 "Enterprise Users Can Connect to a Database when the OID Account is Disabled"

"completion insight" and "change case as you type" won't work for sql file

Hi there,
Just updated to 3.1 on my Mac Lion. It's very likely a bug since it used the work with 3.0.
I have a "temp.sql" file where I store several queries. I start SQL Developer, open "temp.sql", connect to a DB but "completion insight" and "change case as you type" won't work anymore.
If I click in "Unshared SQL Worksheet", the new worksheet tab will work fine with completion and change case, but I want to use my temp.sql and save things there when closing the application.
To reproduce yourself the issue:
Open SQL Dev, connect to a DB (it will open a worksheet), do some queries and check that change case and completion are working, quit SQL Dev, but save the worksheet in a sql file before. Re-open SQL Dev and open the sql file. Connect to the same DB and try to change the queries or create another. Completion and change case won't work anymore.

Well, it's partially working, if your sql file is big (like mine), say with more than 1000 lines, then, maybe because of memory usage, the automatic completion won't work as expected, though, sometimes, after a while, crtl-space would stil work.
So, the problem may have been addressed, but I believe this feature can be definitely improved.

BUG: EA 2.1 code editor: completion insight doesn't work in opened files

I just migrated from SQLDEV 1.5.5 to EA 2.1. It's nice that I colud find so many of my suggestions implemented in this new version. THANKX :-)
code editor:
When I'm working in SQL Worksheet the "completion insight" feature is working well, but when I try to use it in an opened file, it doesn't work.
Is there a special preference to turn on for use with files?
Edited by: @chris on 12.11.2009 10:57

Correct it did work in 1.5. on .sql files, when connected, so I have updated the ER to bug. We also need to expand this to support PL/SQL files.

Completion Insight Won't Work After Changing Worksheet's Connection.

I've noticed that with 3.1.07.42 completion insight seems unreliable and managed to track it down to being caused by switching a worksheet's connection. The completion insight functionality seems to remain stuck in the first connection.
Steps to recreate:
1. Open a worksheet to connection1.
2. Paste in two incomplete queries. One for a table only present in connection1, and another with the same for connection2.
3. Verify that completion insight works for the query for connection1.
4. Switch worksheet's connection to connection2
5. Try to bring up the completion insight for the connection2 query. Fails for me.
6. Try to bring up the completion insight for the connection1 query. Still works.

I don't know how to verify this but maybe there was a bad batch of ink out there. My ink was low, changed the cartidge, still not joy. I did the clean heads so many times i ran out of another color. I changed the print head assembly and still no joy. I gave up at this point, but does anyone know if HP has any advisaries about bad ink (up till now I have always used HP Ink). Or maybe they wouldn't want to admit it because of all of the repairs they would be resposible for.

Completion Insight Problem for SQL Developer 3.0.04.34 ?

Hello,
I am observing that for a SQL Worksheet which has more than 270 lines of different SQL queries, the Completion Insight doesn't work.
I am using Oracle SQL Developer 3.0.04.34 on a Windows 7 (32 bit machine).
Is there anything else which needs to be checked?
Edited by: 922015 on Mar 19, 2012 11:02 PM

Can't reproduce. Need a test case.
select * from emp; -- repeated 500 times
then
select * from e<ctrl-space> -- line #501
works.

3.1EA1: Completion insight

Hello,
Im using SQL Developer on Windows 7 32-bit, Java 1.6.0_27, Oracle 10gR2
Completion insight is not working when writing a query in an *.sql file. Eventough the database connection is opened and selected in the sql-worksheet.
Kind regards,
D.

Hi Vadim,
Thanks for picking up this thread. A quick update on my research for this matter...
1) In 3.0.04.34, I have no trouble getting Code Insight to work on an opened SQL file once a connection is selected from the drop-down list.
2) In 3.1.06.44, it does not work after selecting the first connection, but will after switching to another connection, e.g.,
Test case:
a. Open a SQL file containing "select deptno from emp"
b. Select a "local_scott" connection from the drop-down list.
c. Change text to "select deptno, e from emp" and ctrl-space with cursor immediately after the ", e". No result.
d. Select another connection, say "remote_scott", from the drop-down list.
e. Repeat (c), highlighting "empno" and "ename" in the list. Enter to add to the SQL text.    3) In 3.1.06.44, running from the command line, I got the following exception while adding ", j" followed by ctrl-space:
Registered TimesTen
Parser.forest(): AssertionErrorunwind labeled_nonblock_stmt: unlabeled_nonblock_stmt!; @[0,11)

        at oracle.dbtools.raptor.insight.CompletionInsight$InsightThread.run(CompletionInsight.java:507)
but it seemed to work fine anyway.
It's great that a workaround exists. I leave any bug raising up to you.

Code Templates/Completion Insight SQL Developer 3.2.2

Hello, today I got the version 3.2.2. During the first start all setting from my previous version were imported and all work perfect, except the completion insight.
If I write
ssf +[CTRL + Space]
the result in the previous version is
select * from
In the new version, for the same input is:
ssfselect * from
For other code template it is the same, the id for the code template will not be delete while setting the code template.
Is this a bug or is there somethin wrong with my enviroment?

It's a bug that's been fixed for version 4.0.

Group By Completion Insight Bug

1. Open a connection and type the following:
select d.dummy, count(d.dummy) from dual d group by d.dummy;
2. Now modify the select list as follows:
select d.dummy, count(d.dummy), count(d.dummy) sum from dual d group by d.dummy;
3. Completion insight changes the code to:
select d.dummy, count(d.dummy), count(d.dummy) from dual d group by d.dummy, count;

Hi Vadim,
I agree with you about the order of the SQL clauses. They must have been pretty keen on it 'making sense' in English. Meh! ;)
Autocomplete is cool, but as someone who can touch type (albeit at only ~70 wpm!), I usually find waiting for it to kick in a bit tiresome given that I can finish "select * from" in not much more than a second. I don't turn it off because it hardly ever gets a chance to fire.
I do use autocomplete in some other tools; in VB, it gives you a canonical map of the object model you are working with (often there seem to be things missing in SQL Developer). In TextMate, on the other hand, it isn't so 'smart', but its wicked fast, which it does by simply relying on text in the current file. Both work well. I do understand there is a different set of challenges in a DBMS client, though.
Incidentally, when I just tried selecting two tables simultaneously, the tool generated invalid SQL:
select * from V_TN_SPAN_GRPS _, V_TNS_WITH_DEFAULT_CONTRACTS S
(i.e. it supplied an underscore as the alias for the first view.)
Also, Ctrl+Space doesn't work for me (I'm on a Mac). Actually, there appear to be several default keymappings that don't work on a Mac. Here is my version info...

Completion Insight in 4.0

Hi,
I ask about that some time ago.
From version 2.1 Completion Insight won't work with packages/functions.
In my company database there are configured functions that I can type/ask like normal tables in format:
select * from table(schema_name/package.function_name) - function_name should be listed.
In version 1.5 everything was fine but in next version something was wrong.
I see that in V 4.0 issue still exists.
I wonder i that this issue could be caused by version of Java or JDBC driver, but the trial with couple of java versions and drivers have not been successful.
Thanks for any advice.
Michal

Bugged as 17191521:
select * from table(dbms_output. );
--------------------------------^ctrl-space
works, while
select * from table(sys.dbms_output. );
-------------------------------------^ctrl-space
doesn't

Completion Insight seldom works
