How to set nondefault directory for SQL Developer on Citrix (terminal)

Hi
My purpose is that , when I click"open" button on SQL Developer I hope it prompts out a defined diretory rather than the default one.The problem here is I'm using Citrix paltform in the terminal end and hence I don't authorization to do any modification on the C:\ drive (server end)
I got this guide lines from the tutorial but I can reset the rying directory by either way.
To specify a nondefault SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR location, do either of the
following:
■ Set the SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR environment variable to specify another
directory path.
■ Edit the <sqldeveloper_
install>\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf file
and substitute the desired directory path for SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR in the
following line:
SetUserHomeVariable SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR
1.After I execute below command on cmd, the variavle has been set but still it navigates to the default directory:
set SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR=U:\sql
2.I want to modify the "sqldeveloper.conf " file but since it is located in C: drive I don't have right to modify it.(I'm using terminal as stated above)
Could anyone help me out ??

Ella,
You don't say which version of SQL Developer you are using via Citrix, but just setting the SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR hasn't worked for a long time (see Re: SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR does not function anymore). Also, since version 1.5, the default for the user directory (now set via ide.user.dir as shown below) is under the user profile area (relative to %APPDATA%), which you should be able to write to, even on Citrix.
Assuming that neither of those help, you will need to get whoever installed SQL Developer on the Citrix C: drive to modify the sqldeveloper.conf to have a line like, where the path exists for everyone who will be using the shared SQL Developer (assumes everyone has a H: drive):
AddVMOption -Dide.user.dir=H:\sqldeveloperAn alternative (depending on how you start SQL Developer via Citrix), is to create your own shortcut to start SQL Developer with something like:
sqldeveloper -J-Dide.user.dir="%SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR%"theFurryOne

  • How to set default directory for SQL LOADER

    hi all,
    i wanted to know how can we setup a default directory for SQL LOADER if at all we can. i connot place my control and data files in local system and use them at command prompt. rather i wanted to know if we can set default directory that the loader can use. this requirement is basically to enable all the clients to upload the data placed on the server and use the loader utility.
    thanks in advance,

  • How to set naming standards for SQL Developer

    I am using SQL Developer version 3.0.04.
    In the newly integrated and very useful Data Modeler, we can set preferences for the naming standards to be applied when creating logical and relational model objects ( primary keys, foreign keys, et cetera). I would like to know if there is a way to set naming standards for the relational objects we create in SQL Developer on existing tables ( ( primary keys, foreign keys, et cetera).
    Any help in setting such preferences would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    If you want to set up a diagram for an existing database, you can use File/Data Modeler/Import/Data Dictionary to import its definitions.
    Alternatively you can open a Data Modeler Browser (using View/Data Modeler/Browser), expand the node for Design "Untitled_1",
    expand the node for Relational Models, and select Show from the Right-click drop-down menu for "Relational_1" to create a Relational Model diagram.
    You can then drag Tables from SQL Developer's Connections tree onto the diagram.
    Once you have a Relational Model you can reverse engineer it to an Entity-Relationship model using the << button in the button bar
    (or by selecting "Engineer to Logical Model" from the drop-down menu for the Relational Model).
    Note that there is now a separate forum for SQL Developer Data Modeler topics: SQL Developer Data Modeler

  • How to set ORACLE_HOME used by SQL Developer?

    I need to use OCI/Thick driver with SQL Developer to get OS authentication working. I have 64-bit windows and 64-bit oracle installed. I also have 32-bit instant client in another ORACLE_HOME, because the libs of 64-bit ORACLE_HOME won't work with SQL Developer. Quite trivial setup if the SQL Developer would just take the hint an start using the right ORACLE_HOME. I have tried making a start.bat containing following...
    set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle\product\11.1.0\instantclient_11_1
    start sqldeveloper.exe
    ..but it doesn't have any effect. I can't change ORACLE_HOME in registry, because it would mess up other services requiring 64-bit oracle.

    It might be a little late for the original post, but maybe someone else will need it:
    I found that the way to solve such issue is by specifying the TNSNAMES of the wanted oracle_home. That'll do it.
    It could be done in Tools -> Preferences -> Database -> Advanced -> Tnsnames directory.

  • GeoRaptor 3.0 for SQL Developer 3.0 and 2.1 has now been released

    Folks,
    I am pleased to announce that, after 5 months of development and testing, a new release of GeoRaptor for SQL Developer 2.1 and 3.0 is now available.
    GeoRaptor for SQL Developer 3 is available via the SQL Developer Update centre. GeoRaptor 3 for SQL Developer 2.1 is being made available
    via a download fro the GeoRaptor website.
    No release notes have been compiled as the principal developer (oops, that's me!) is currently busy doing real work for a change (another 3 weeks), earning a living
    and keeping the wolves at bay. More extensive notes (with images) will be compiled when I get back. (Unless anyone is offering! See next.)
    We are still looking for people to:
    1. Provide translations of the English dialog menus etc.
    2. Write more extensive user documentation. If you use a particular part of GeoRaptor a lot and think
    you have found out all its functionality and quirks, contact us and offer to write a few pages of
    documentation on it. (Open Office or Microsoft Word is fine.) Easiest way to do this is to simply
    make screen captures and annotate with text.
    3. Conduct beta testing.
    Here are the things that are in the new release.
    New functionality:
    Overhaul of Validation Functionality.
    1. User can specify own validation SELECT SQL as long as it returns three required columns. The SQL is thus totally editable.
    2. Validation update code now allows user to associate a PL/SQL function with an error number which is applied in the UPDATE SQL.
    3. UPDATE SQL can use WHERE clause of validation SELECT SQL (1) to update specific errors.
       NOTE: The generated UPDATE statement can be manually edited. It is NEVER run by GeoRaptor. To run any UPDATE, copy the statement
       to the clipboard and run in an appropriate SQL Worksheet session within SQL Developer.
    4. Main validation table allows:
       a. Sorting (click on column header) and
       b. Filtering.
       c. Copying to Clipboard via right mouse click sub menu of:
          - Geometry's SDO_ELEM_INFO array constructor.
          - SDO_GEOMETRY constructor
          - Error + validation string.
       d. Access to Draw/Zoom functions which were previously buttons.
       e. Added a new right mouse click menu "Show Feature's Individual Errors" that gathers up all the errors
          it can process - along with the ring / element that is host to the error (if it can) - and displays
          them in the Attribute/Geometry tabs at the bottom of the Map Window (where "Identify" places its results).
          The power of this will be evident to all those who have wanted a way of stepping through errors in a geometry.
       f. Selected rows can now be deleted (select rows: press <DELETE> key or right mouse click>Delete).
       g. Table now has only one primary key column, and has a separate error column holding the actual error code.
       h. Right mouse click men added to table menu to display description of error in the new column (drawn from Oracle documentation)
       i. Optimisations added to improve performance for large error lists.
    5. Functionality now has its own validation layer that is automatically added to the correct view.
       Access to layer properties via button on validation dialog or via normal right mouse click in view/layer tree.
    Improved Rendering Options.
    1. Linestring colour can now be random or drawn from column in database (as per Fill and Point colouring)
    2. Marking of SDO_GEOMETRY objects overhauled.
       - Ability to mark or LABEL vertices/points of all SDO_GEOMETRY types with coordinate identifier and
         option {X,Y} location. Access is via Labelling tab in layer>properties. Thus, coordinate 25 of a linestring
         could be shown as: <25> or {x,y} or <25> {x,y}
       - There is a nice "stacked" option where the coordinate {x,y} can be written one line below the id.
       - For linestrings and polygons the <id> {x,y} label can be oriented to the angle between the vectors or
         edges that come in, and go out of, a vertex. Access is via "Orient" tick box in Labelling tab.
       - Uses Tools>Preferences>GeoRaptor>Visualisation>SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY bracket around x,y string.
    3. Start point of linestring/polygon and all other vertices can be marked with user selectable point marker
       rather than previously fixed markers.
    4. Can now set a NULL point marker by selecting "None" for point marker style pulldown menu.
    5. Positioning of the arrow for linestring/polygons has extra options:
       * NONE
       * START    - All segments of a line have the arrow positioned at the start
       * MIDDLE   - All segments of a line have the arrow positioning in the middle.
       * END      - All segments of a line have the arrow positioning in the END.
       * END_ONLY - Only the last segment has an arrow and at its end.
    ScaleBar.
    1. A new graphic ScaleBar option has been added for the map of each view.
       For geographic/geodetic SRIDs distances are currently shown in meters;
       For all SRIDs an attempt is made to "adapt" the scaleBar units depending
       on the zoom level. So, if you zoom right in you might get the distance shown
       as mm, and as you zoom out, cm/m/km as appropriate.
    2. As the scaleBar is drawn, a 1:<DEMONINATOR> style MapScale value is written
       to the map's right most status bar element.
    3. ScaleBar and MapScale can be turned off/on in View>Properties right mouse
       click menu.
    Export Capabilities.
    1. The ability to export a selection from a result set table (ie result of
       executing ad-hoc SQL SELECT statement to GML, KML, SHP/TAB (TAB file
       adds TAB file "wrapper" over SHP) has been added.
    2. Ability to export table/view/materialised view to GML, KML, SHP/TAB also
       added. If no attributes are selected when exporting to a SHP/TAB file, GeoRaptor
       automatically adds a field that holds a unique row number.
    3. When exporting to KML:
       * one can optionally export attributes.
       * Web sensitive characters < > & etc for KML export are replaced with &gt; &lt; &amp; etc.
       * If a column in the SELECTION or table/view/Mview equals "name" then its value is
         written to the KML tag <name> and not to the list of associated attributes.
         - Similarly for "description" -> <description> AND "styleUrl" -> <styleUrl>
    4. When exporting to GML one can optionally export attributes in FME or OGR "flavour".
    5. Exporting Measured SDO_GEOMETRY objects to SHP not supported until missing functionality
       in GeoTools is corrected (working with GeoTools community to fix).
    6. Writing PRJ and MapInfo CoordSys is done by pasting a string into appropriate export dialog box.
       Last value pasted is remembered between sessions which is useful for users who work with a single SRID.
    7. Export directory is remembered between sessions in case a user uses a standard export directory.
    8. Result sets containing MDSYS.SDO_POINT and/or MDSYS.VERTEX_TYPE can also be written to GML/KML/SHP/TAB.
       Example:
       SELECT a.geom.sdo_point as point
         FROM (SELECT sdo_geometry(2002,null,sdo_point_type(1,2,null),sdo_elem_info_array(1,2,1),sdo_ordinate_array(1,1,2,2)) as geom
                 FROM DUAL) a;
       SELECT mdsys.vertex_type(a.x,a.y,a.z,a.w,a.v5,a.v6,a.v7,a.v8,a.v9,a.v10,a.v11,a.id) as vertex
         FROM TABLE(mdsys.sdo_util.getVertices(mdsys.sdo_geometry(2002,null,null,sdo_elem_info_array(1,2,1),sdo_ordinate_array(1,1,2,2)))) a;
    9. A dialog appears at the end of each export which details (eg total) what was exported when the exported recordset/table contains more
       than on shape type. For example, if you export only points eg 2001/3001 from a table that also contains multipoints eg 2005/3005 then
       the number of points exported, and multipoints skipped will be displayed.
    10. SHP/TAB export is "transactional". If you set the commit interval to 100 then only 100 records are held in memory before writing.
        However, this does not currently apply to the associated DBASE records.
    11. SHP/TAB export supports dBase III, dBase III + Memo, dBase IV and dBase IV + Memo.
        Note: Memo allows text columns > 255 characters to be exported. Non-Memo formats do not and any varchar2 columns will be truncated
        to 255 chars. Some GIS packages support MEMO eg Manifold GIS, some do not.
    12. Note. GeoRaptor does not ensure that the SRID of SDO_GEOMETRY data exported to KML is in the correct Google Projection.
        Please read the Oracle documentation on how to project your data is this is necessary. An example is:
        SELECT OBJECTID,
               CODIGO as name,
               NOME as description,
               MI_STYLE,
               SDO_CS.TRANSFORM(shape,'USE_SPHERICAL',4055) as shape
          FROM MUB.REGIONAL;
    13. NOTE: The SHP exporter uses the Java Topology Suite (JTS) to convert from SDO_GEOMETRY to the ESRI Shape format. JTS does not handle
        circular curves in SDO_GEOMETRY objects you must "stroke" them using sdo_util.arc_densify(). See the Oracle documentation on how
        to use this.
    Miscellaneous.
    1. Selection View - Measurement has been modified so that the final result only shows those geometry
       types that were actually measured.
    2. In Layer Properties the Miscellaneous tab has been removed because the only elements in it were the
       Geometry Output options which have now been replaced by the new GML/KML/etc export capabilities.
    3. Shapefile import's user entered tablename now checked for Oracle naming convention compliance.
    4. Identify based on SDO_NN has been removed from GeoRaptor given the myriad problems that it seems to create across versions
       and partitioned/non-partitioned tables. Instead SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE is now used with the actual search distance (see circle
       in map display): everything within that distance is returned.
    5. Displaying/Not displaying embedded sdo_point in line/polygon (Jamie Keene), is now controlled by
       a preference.
    6. New View Menu options to switch all layers on/off
    7. Tools/Preferences/GeoRaptor layout has been improved.
    8. If Identify is called on a geometry a new right mouse click menu entry has been added called "Mark" which
       has two sub-menus called ID and ID(X,Y) that will add the labeling to the selected geometry independently of
       what the layer is set to being.
    9. Two new methods for rendering an SDO_GEOMETRY object in a table or SQL recordset have been added: a) Show geometry as ICON
       and b) Show geometry as THUMBNAIL. When the latter is chosen, the actual geometry is shown in an image _inside_ the row/column cell it occupies.
       In addition, the existing textual methods for visualisation: WKT, KML, GML etc have been collected together with ICON and THUMBNAIL in a new
       right mouse click menu.
    10. Tables/Views/MViews without spatial indexes can now be added to a Spatial View. To stop large tables from killing rendering, a new preference
        has been added "Table Count Limit" (default 1,000) which controls how many geometry records can be displayed. A table without a spatial
        index will have its layer name rendered in Italics and will write a warning message in red to the status bar for each redraw. Adding an index
        which the layer exists will be recognised by GeoRaptor during drawing and switch the layer across to normal rendering.
    Some Bug Fixes.
    * Error in manage metadata related to getting metadata across all schemas
    * Bug with no display of rowid in Identify results fixed;
    * Some fixes relating to where clause application in geometry validation.
    * Fixes bug with scrollbars on view/layer tree not working.
    * Problem with the spatial networks fixed. Actions for spatial networks can now only be done in the
      schema of the current user, as it could happen that a user opens the tree for another schema that
      has the same network as in the user's schema. Dropping a drops only the network of the current connected user.
    * Recordset "find sdo_geometry cell" code has been modified so that it now appears only if a suitable geometry object is
      in a recordset.  Please note that there is a bug in SQL Developer (2.1 and 3.0) that causes SQL Developer to not
      register a change in selection from a single cell to a whole row when one left clicks at the left-most "row number"
      column that is not part of the SELECT statements user columns, as a short cut to selecting a whole row.  It appears
      that this is a SQL Developer bug so nothing can be done about it until it is fixed. To select a whole row, select all
      cells in the row.
    * Copy to clipboard of SDO_GEOMETRY with M and Z values forgot has extraneous "," at the end.
    * Column based colouring of markers fixed
    * Bunch of performance improvements.
    * Plus (happily) others that I can't remember!If you find any bugs register a bug report at our website.
    If you want to help with testing, contact us at our website.
    My thanks for help in this release to:
    1. John O'Toole
    2. Holger Labe
    3. Sandro Costa
    4. Marco Giana
    5. Luc van Linden
    6. Pieter Minnaar
    7. Warwick Wilson
    8. Jody Garnett (GeoTools bug issues)
    Finally, when at the Washington User Conference I explained the willingness of the GeoRaptor Team to work
    for some sort of integration of our "product" with the new Spatial extension that has just been released in SQL
    Developer 3.0. Nothing much has come of that initial contact and I hope more will come of it.
    In the end, it is you, the real users who should and will decide the way forward. If you have ideas, wishes etc,
    please contact the GeoRaptor team via our SourceForge website, or start a "wishlist" thread on this forum
    expressing ideas for future functionality and integration opportunities.

    Thank you for this.
    I have been messing around with this last few days, and i really love the feature to pinpoint the validation errors on map.
    I has always been so annoying to try pinpoint these errors using some other GIS software while doing your sql.
    I have stumbled to few bugs:
    1. In "Validate geometry column" dialog checking option "Use DimInfo" actually still uses value entered in tolerance text box.
    I found this because in my language settings , is the decimal operators
    2. In "Validate geometry column" dialog textboxs showing sql, doesn't always show everything from long lines of text (clipping text from right)
    3. In "Validate geometry column" dialog the "Create Update SQL" has few bugs:
    - if you have selected multiple rows from results and check the "Use Selected Geometries" the generated IN-clause in SQL with have same rowid (rowid for first selected result) for all entries
    Also the other generated IN clause in WHERE-clause is missing separator if you select more than one corrective function
    4. "Validate geometry column" dialog stays annoyingly top most when using "Create Update SQL" dialog

  • Re: GeoRaptor 3.2.1 Released for SQL Developer 3.x

    Hey,
    Referencing this that was posted in early September 2012:
    GeoRaptor 3.2.1 Released for SQL Developer 3.x
    I am supporting GRE's and the like at UC Berkeley and I really want to hook them up with this plug because it will make their life MUCH easier. But I have some pretty basic problems:
    1. A VERY simply table that has an 8307 linestring. The query that GR defaults when the table is added :
    SELECT rowid,"ID","NETWORK_ID","BEG_NODE_ID","END_NODE_ID","LENGTH","SPEED_LIMIT","DETAIL_LEVEL",
    "IN_SYNCH","CREATED","MODIFIED","CREATED_BY","MODIFIED_BY","MODSTAMP","NET_GEN_ID",t.GEOM as GEOM
      FROM VIA.LINKS_HOLD t
    WHERE SDO_FILTER(t.GEOM,?,?) = 'TRUE'This seems to do something but nothing is ever displayed. The table definition is as follows:
    CREATE TABLE LINKS_HOLD  (
    ID NUMBER,
    NETWORK_ID NUMBER,
    BEG_NODE_ID NUMBER,
    END_NODE_ID NUMBER,
    GEOM MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY ,

    MODIFIED DATE,
    CREATED_BY VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
    MODIFIED_BY VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
    MODSTAMP TIMESTAMP (6),
    NET_GEN_ID NUMBER
    )And some sample data. I am only including the geometry
    GEOM(SDO_GTYPE, SDO_SRID, SDO_POINT(X, Y, Z), SDO_ELEM_INFO, SDO_ORDINATES)
    SDO_GEOMETRY(2002, 8307, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 2, 1), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(-118.18477, 34.02929, -118.18156, 34.02932))

    select geom from links_hold ;When I tried to run that the system responded with and error and pasted the following into the clipboard:
    SELECT rowid, GEOM as GEOM FROM (
    select
    rowid,geom
    from
    via.links_hold
    ? MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2003,8307,NULL,MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,3),MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(-180.0,-165.78279266572636, 180.0,165.78279266572636))
    ? Please keep in mind that very same query will display all the links where I run in the generic map view (GMV) of SQLD and
    since GMV has little in the way of additional features it is rather frustrating to see your tool not really working, or what
    is more likely is that I have a lack of understanding because I cannot find documentation that will allow me to
    move forward w/o bugging you.
    So Any light you can throw on this would be of great assistance. Thanks much!

    Flying Guy,
    The non-display is a major bug that was discovered after GeoRaptor 3.2 was released. I knew it was there a few days after
    the release - it got past our testers as well. I hoped to have a release out very soon after but a bunch of things conspired to
    stop this from happening. Anyway, no one complained so I figured no one was using it enough to find the bug.
    The bug is fixed which you can test if you download the Early Access release from our SourceForge website.
    There are some other new functions in this EA that you might discover. The main one being the ability to have a feature count
    (those drawn within the map window) displayed on the view / layer tree. See GeoRaptor preferences. Another is the restoration
    of right mouse click menus on the sdo_geometry columns of table/mv/view connection nodes. Also, if a table has more than one
    sdo_geometry column, the first is no longer selected if you right mouse click/map etc on table node. It will display a pick list
    of sdo_geometry columns for you to chose from. (There has also been a major revamp of connection management as I noted
    problems since SQL Developer 3.2.)
    Please download and try it. Consider joining the GeoRaptor lists to help with testing and documenting. If you find bugs in
    the EA please email the right georaptor list, or use the GeoRaptor SourceForge site to register the bug. Or email me
    directly simon at spatialdbadvisor dot come.
    I hope to have a release ready by the end of the week but I have not heard back from the small group of testers
    that we have something that is ready to go.
    Wrt documentation we have added some where users have created some for me with my input. Please volunteer to
    create documentation.
    The simple fact of life is that:
    1. GeoRaptor is downloaded by lots and lots of people (a good thing).
    But:
    <complain>
    2. Very few responses ever occur to postings made about GeoRaptor on this forum or on our sourceforge forum: disheartening;
    3. Very few bug reports or enhancement requests ever get created at sourceforge: disheartening;
    4. I have become the only developer which is a bad thing. I known of some Java developers who have used GeoRaptor but
    most/all expect someone else to fix bugs or develop the tool. I have spend thousands of hours on a tool that I find useful because SQL Developer
    is my main Oracle access tool. But I have never, ever heard from more than 10 people over the past 3 years that they too find it useful: disheartening;
    5. Attempts to contact downloaders routinely fall on deaf ears or fail: disheartening;
    6. Requests for documenters, developers, testers are ignored or fail because we can't contact anyone who downloads GeoRaptor: disheartening.
    </complain>
    Like a lot of open source projects I do not get paid for anything I do. But what annoys me is that no one - other than a tiny brace of people - will help with anything
    even when we ask.
    I have also decided that major new functionality added to GeoRaptor eg GeoRasters; WMS; WFS; etc will only be done when sufficient funding, via a fundraising website
    makes a set amount. This is something that the PostGIS have started doing and I think it only fair considering how many months each year I spend on development "in
    the dark" for no income.

  • How to change NLS parameters in SQL Developer?

    I think that Oracle National Language Support is quite confusing. How can I easily change NLS parameters for SQL Developer (for all connections) to match exactly those that my database is using?

    Hello,
    SELECT 5/8 x FROM dual;F9 -> 0.625
    Change decimal separator in preferences
    F9 -> 0,625
    It is different when I execute a query/script with F5, then I always get 0.625
    SELECT * FROM nls_session_parameters
    WHERE parameter = 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS';
    PARAMETER                      VALUE
    NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS         .,
    SELECT 5/8 x FROM dual;
             X
         0.625
    Change settings
    SELECT * FROM nls_session_parameters
    WHERE parameter = 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS';
    PARAMETER                      VALUE
    NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS         ,.
    SELECT 5/8 x FROM dual;
             X
         0.625Even changing the settings with ALTER SESSION makes no difference
    ALTER SESSION SET NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = ',.';
    SELECT * FROM nls_session_parameters
    WHERE parameter = 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS';
    PARAMETER                      VALUE
    NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS         ,.
    SELECT 5/8 x FROM dual;
             X
         0.625
    ALTER SESSION SET NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = '.,';
    SELECT * FROM nls_session_parameters
    WHERE parameter = 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS';
    PARAMETER                      VALUE
    NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS         .,
    SELECT 5/8 x FROM dual;
             X
         0.625It seems the script output does not care about my settings :-(

  • How to set Compatibility Mode for a single site in ie10

    This question was originally posted on the Answers forum -
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie10-windows_7/how-to-set-compatibility-mode-for-a-single-site-in/187152e3-142a-4d96-8d1b-af82ef571eec
    I am having problem with getting ie10 to set ie9 compatibility for a single site (sharepoint.contoso.com).
    When I add this website in Compatibility View Settings (Alt > Tools > Compatibility View Settings > 'Add this Website') it adds the domain 'contoso.com' and not the individual website (sharepoint.contoso.com).
    This cause other sites (www.contoso.com) to be configured to use compatibility mode. Because this is a separate site (different web server) to the site sharepoint.contoso.com (sharepoint 2010 server) we need different compatibility settings.
    Using a different example to explain the issue -
    Microsoft has three websites that are different websites created by different developers written in different programming languages and they only work with certain browsers.
    microsoft.com (Website1 created by Developer1) - compatible with ie8/ie9/ie10
    msdn.microsoft.com (Website2 created by Developer2) - compatible with ie8/ie9
    technet.microsoft.com (Website3 website created by Developer3) - compatible only with ie10
    The only thing the three website share is the URL contains 'microsoft.com'.
    Marking 'msdn.microsoft.com' to run in compatibility mode affects the other 2 websites - mainly technet.microsoft.com which will not work now since it only runs in pure ie10 mode. 
    Should you be able to add an individual site to the compatibility list instead of all sites that have  .microsoft.com in the URL? Am I missing a simple setting in the ie10?
    As a workaround I am using the F12 Developer Tools to set the Browser Mode which temporary sets the compatibility mode. However this is not a nice solution to the end users at our organisation. 

    problem is not solved for non corporate environments...
    You could start your own thread.  Then if you got that answer and it was marked Answered you would have the ability to unmark it.  The OP of this one seems satisfied.  Also note that this is TechNet.  Consumers can get help on Answers
    forums.
    Robert Aldwinckle
    Oh! I wrote it wrong: I should have said: This is not solved for NON-AD environments. No demands what so ever to use Window 7/8 professional in a small corporation or on a big corporation with Island of smaller departments for example offshore.
    The problem is that the thread is not "Answered" by the OP, its is marked answered by a moderator (and same moderator that did the answer) so no way of telling if the OP is satisfied.
    But you are right in the fact that I am almost kidnapping the thread. But a complete answer would benefit all in this case I would presume.

  • GeoRaptor 3.2.1 Released for SQL Developer 3.x

    Spatialites!
    After 6 months of development and testing, GeoRaptor 3.2.1 has been released for SQL Developer 3.x (tested on 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2). This release no longer supports SQL Developer 1.x or 2.x releases due to internal changes to the SQL Developer APIs.
    GeoRaptor can be downloaded from the GeoRaptor project's sourceforge page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/georaptor and installed via Help>Check for Updates>Install from Local File. Installation via SQL Developer's update mechanism should be available soon.
    The release notes for this release are:
    * Fixed issues with validate geometry functionality in particular the update dialog box.
    * Revamped "About GeoRaptor" form. Includes clickable URLs, links to mailing lists, version number listing, thanks to testers etc.
    * Placed "About GeoRaptor" icon on GeoRaptor's map toolbar.
    * SQL Developer NLS settings accessed: improvements in the display and entry and numeric data.
      -- Tolerances in Spatial Layer properties will display with the NLS decimal separator eg 0,05.
         Some parts of GeoRaptor such as Validation that show and accept numbers have not been changed from when someone else modified the code.
         If you double click on the left MBR/right MBR icon in the map at the bottom, the current centre position will display according to the NLS settings.
         Editing the value to jump the map to that point works even with grouping separators and decimal separators being commas!
    * Spatial Layer Draw has been modified to use NLS based decimal formatting.
    * New geometry marking/labelling options have been added. In particular you can now label the vertices of a linestring/polygon with the following additional elements:
      -- Cumulative length
      -- Measure (M)
      -- Z value
      -- Labelling of vertices with <id>{X,Y} now also honours 3/4D geometries. If geometry has XYY then it will be labelled as {X,Y,Z} etc.
    * You can also label each vector/segment of a linestring/polygon with:
      -- Length
      -- Cumulative Length
      -- Bearing (approximate for geodetic/geographic data)
      -- Distance (approximate for geodetic/geographic data)
      -- Bearing and Distance (approximate for geodetic/geographic data)
    * The font properties of the mark text can be changed independently of the feature label. This includes the offset and label position (CC, LL, UR etc).
    * New feature labelling options have been provided:
      -- First/middle/last vertex,
      -- Any supplied sdo_point within a line/polygon's sdo_geometry object, or
      -- Calculated by GeoRaptor on the client side using Java Topology Suite.
    * Result sets now have the ability to:
      -- Copy to clipboard all geometries across many rows and columns.
      -- Display one or more (selected) geometries in a popup image window. This functionality is also available in the result set generated by an Identify command.
    * New GeoRaptor Preferences:
      -- Width and height in pixels of the new popup image window (displaying one or more geometry objects) can be set;
      -- Colours of orphan, missing and correct metadata entries for Metadata Manager;
      -- Prefixing with MDSYS for all currently supported spatial objects - sdo_geometry, sdo_point, sdo_elem_info, sdo_ordinates, sdo_dim_info - has been made an option.
      -- There is now a new property called "Show Number Grouping Separator" in Tools>GeoRaptor>Visualisation.
         If it is ticked a number will be formatted with the thousands separator in Tools>Database>NLS eg 10000.000 will display as 10,000.000.
    * Sdo_Geometry display of all spaces in text between elements of the sdo_geometry array have been removed.
       This was done mainly to compact the sdo_geometry strings so that they are as small as possible when displaying or copying to clipboard.
    * Help pages added to the following dialogs with more to follow:
      -- Metadata Manager,
      -- Shapefile Importer and
      -- Layer Properties dialogs.
    * GeoRaptor menu entries renamed. New "Manage All Metadata" entry added to View>GeoRaptor menu.
    * Spatial Index creation dialog now supports additional index parameters and parallel build settings.
    * Metadata Manager overhauled:
      a. Shows:
         1. Metadata entries which have no underlying oracle object (orphan)
         2. Metadata entries for existing underlying objects (existing case)
         3. Database objects with sdo_geometry for which no metadata entry exists (new)
      b. All orphan/existing/missing colours for (a) can be set via Preferences>GeoRaptor>Visualisation
      c. All actions for main (bottom) metadata table are in a single right mouse click menu.
         Some entries will only appear if a single row is selection (metadata copy), others (delete and copy to clipboard) will appear for one or more.
      d. Can now switch between open connections to modify metadata of other objects in schemas other than the starting object.
      e. Buttons revamped.
    * Tab/Shapefile export:
      a. Export now supports NULL valued columns. Can be exported as an empty string (if DBase override in GeoRaptor Preferences is ticked) or
         as a predefined value eg NULL date => 1900-01-01 (set in new GeoRatptor Import/Export Preferences).
      b. Some work attempted on export of NLS strings (still not corrected).
      c. Objects with no rows now correctly processed.
    * Shapefile Import
      -- Bug relating to Linux file names corrected.
    * Fixed issue (identified by John O'Toole) with spatial index underlying a view not being used in map display.
    * Reinstated sdo_nn as the principal method for Identify (requested by John O'Toole).
    * Fixed problem with handling single click zoom in and out in GeoRaptor map etc.
    * Fixed problem with rendering lines from database item (identified by Vladimir Pek).The new "About GeoRaptor" should be read by all people installing GeoRaptor.
    Please, please consider registering your email address with our private email list so that we can get a feel for the sorts of people downloading and installing GeoRaptor.
    Please consider helping us with documentation or the internationalisation via translating properties files from English to your native language.
    GeoRaptor is written and maintained by people who use SQL Developer and Spatial every day but we don't pretend we know everything that users want: please let us know via our feature request page at SourceForge.
    We don't get paid for what we do so are always looking for additional help.
    Here are some of the requests we have had for improvements:
    1. MySQL access
    2. WMS access;
    3. Ability to import shapefile data into an existing table;
    4. Ability to processing multiple shapefiles into separate tables (current version can import one or more into a single target table);
    5. Ability to export/import layer definitions to give to others;
    6. Support for non-English character sets for varchar exports to shapefiles.Some are relatively simply, some require a lot of engineering work. For the latter, we are considering alternative funding methods to the currently completely free development approach.

    Simon,
    I will admit, I almost never use SQL Developer. I have been a long time Toad user, but for this tool, I fumbled around a bit and got everything up and running quickly.
    That said, I tried the new GeoRaptor tool using this tutorial (which is I think is close enough to get the jist). http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/georaptor/index.php?title=A_Gentle_Introduction:_Create_Table,_Metadata_Registration,_Indexing_and_Mapping
    As I stumble around it, I'll try and leave some feedback, and probably ask some rather stupid questions.
    Thanks for the effort,
    Bryan

  • Need java 1.6.0_4 for SQL developer 3.2 64bit, Win 7

    Hi All
    I Need java 1.6.0_4 for SQL developer 3.2 64bit, Win 7.
    SQL developer behaves weirdly sometimes. It frequently drops connection, doesn;t show compile button when i open a procedure and certain other things.... I found ver 3.0 quiet stable.
    I think it may be because of my incorrect java version (1.6.0). Please tell me how can I get this Java version 1.6.0_4. I checked oracle.com, version 35 is available there....
    Can you please help me by providing this ?
    Thanks

    No - we can't provide it. You have to download it yourself. If you have trouble with the download you should report the problem to Oracle.

    If you checked at the Java SE Downloads page
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
    Then you should have seen the 'Previous Releases' link jus above the download Icons near the top of the page.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html#jre-6u1-oth-JPR
    All of the available prior versions are available at that link.
    But I strongly suggest you heed the advice given to use the latest 1.6 version of Java available unless you have a very good reason not to.

  • Writing extension for SQL Developer

    Hello all,
    I'm new to writing extensions for SQL Developer using JDeveloper. Can you help me with some example with common functionality, like how to get the current connection? Is there some documentation for the oracle.sqldeveloper package? The example may include some techniques like how to get the schema name for a chosen table, get some other info for the table and so on.
    Thank you in advance!

  • ETA for SQL Developer 2?

    I'm a little excited. Is there an ETA for SQL Developer 2? Is it soon? :-)

    Oracle has a policy that does not permit us to provide specific dates for releases. This is for your protection and ours, as features planned for a release may be moved to later releases. Our release plans had been for the full language translation set to be in SQL Developer 1.5.3. With the full suite of languages taking longer than planned, we released 1.5.3 which included Japanese, and added a new release, 1.5.4 to include the rest. As Kristof says 1.5.4 includes further translations and, like our other releases will include bug fixes. As he is not an employee he has no access to our release cycles, and as such his dates are speculation and inaccurate. We are currently working on SQL Developer 1.5.4 and SQL Developer 2.0 both of which are due for release in 2009.
