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.

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

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 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 connect sqlserver use oracle sql developer?

I created a non-oracle location connection in owb and can load data from sqlserver to warehouse. Now, I want to use sqlplus or sqldeveloper to connect sqlserver directly, But I got this error message"ora-03135:connection lost contact".
How can I connect sqlserver in sqldeveloper or sqlplus?
Thanks

Hi Napo,
SQLDeveloper can migrate to oracle, browse sqlserver and run and display results from single statements.
I have not seen "ora-03135:connection lost contact" have you set up sqlserver for tcp/ip connection, checked the port is open (and not blocked by, for example, firewalls) and used the jtds driver to connect SQLDeveloper to sqlserver?
Note that "ora-03135:connection lost contact" is an oracle error and does not seem related to sqlserver.
Oracle also has heterogenous gateway products which may be useful

SQL Server table capture using Oracle SQL Developer

Hello,
I need to know how to set up the Oracle SQL Developer to captuer SQL Server table with correct field precision. For some reason, all NVARCHAR field precision sizes are the double of the original precision size after capturing the table.
Example:
SQL Server table 'A' with the following field:
name NVARCHAR( 50)
after table capture becomes:
name NVARCHAR2(100)
which is double of the original precision.
Any feed back or input is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

How to insert data from *.dmp file to oracle 11g using Oracle SQL Develope

hi
i backup my database using PL/SQL developer and made *.dmp file
how to insert data from *.dmp file to oracle 11g using Oracle SQL Developer 2.1.1.64
and how to make *.dmp file from sql*plus ?
thanks in advance

Pl/Sql developer has a config window, there you choose the exec to do the import/export.
Find it and his home version, it may be exp or expdp, the home version is the version of the client where the exp executable is.
Then use the same version of imp or impdp to execute the import, you do not need to use Oracle SQL Developer 2.1.1.64. If you want to use it, you must have the same version in the oracle home that exp/imp of sql developer use.

That MS Access driver is 64-bit, I think. If SQL Developer, or JDK is 32-bit you need to use the 32-bit driver.   You can see if you have a 32-bit driver installed using c:\windows\system32\odbcadm32.exe

Hi,
One prior post discussing the use of Java 7 is:
SQL Developer 3.0 and Java SE 7?
There is no need to uninstall any Java version (except if you have disk space constraints) and no problem switching between Java versions. This may be controlled in the sqldeveloper.conf file in your ...\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin directory via the SetJavaHome line. For example:
#SetJavaHome ../../jdk
SetJavaHome C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_26
#SetJavaHome C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0Regards,

Getting the schema using Oracle SQL Developer 1.5.1

I need to generate a report in CSV/XLS format using Oracle SQL Developer 1.5.1 to get the schema details
in the below format.
Table Name: XXXXXXXXX
Table Space Name: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Structure :
Field Name Data Type Size
Xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx
Xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx
Xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx

Xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx
Sequence Number:
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Triggers:
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I am using a query to do that, but I cannot run more than one queries in the Create Report Dialog.
I went to the Menu->View->Reports. In that, I chose User Defined Reports, created a new folder called Schema Detail and in that a report named Schema Detail. I right click on that report, choose Edit option, Create Report Dialog opens.
In the Create Report Dialog, I chose the option Script for Value of Style.
In the SQL column I enter a query "select * from table_names". But, if I enter another query after that, it does not run and reports an error "SQL Error: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
00933. 00000 - SQL command not properly ended" Cause: Action: "
I end the first query with a semi colon, but it does not work.
The queries run fine in a SQL Worksheet. There, I can terminate the first query with a semi colon and enter the second query. Then, I run both of them together so that result-set of second query appears after the second.
Am I doing something wrong? Can someone please advise on how to get the information I need?
Thanks a lot.

You can do it in SQL Worksheet because you are running a script. You could run the script in SQL*Plus, and even start it from a bat/cmd file.
Or if you want this as a User Defined Report, you might make it a PL/SQL style report. Here, all output is done through DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT or DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE. You can output HTML tags or plain text. I have an example in my paper for ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2009.

Optimizing an SQL Query using Oracle SQL Developer

Hi ,
Currently i am using Oracle SQL Developer as my Database IDE .
Is it possible to use Orqcles SQLDeveloper for the purpose of Optimizing an SQL Query ??
For example assume i am having a query as :
Select from Tranac_Master where CUST_STATAUS='Y' and JCC_REPORT='N'*
Could anybody please tell me how can i use Oracle SQL Developer to optimize this query or any other SQL queries ??
Please share your ideas , thanks in advance .

1. Your query looks very simplistic as it is, so I fail to see how you can better optimise it (unless 'Tranac_Master' is a view, in which case I'd need to see the view details).
2. No tool can automagically optimise your SQL to any degree of practical use. Very minor adjustments may be possible automatically, but really it is a question of you knowing your data & database design accurately, and then you applying your expert knowledge to tune it.

Problem Dropping Objects in Oracle XE using PL/SQL Developer

Hi all,
I am using PL/SQL Developer to access Oracle XE. I created some tables and later dropped them. But I still see some objects in the PL/SQL Developer Browser under the Tables section.
Below is the name of the objects in I see:
bin$fj7zj7y9rhqujmwrz1zmtg==$0,
bin$frxjknkot4cwtkexm4wtca==$0,
bin$q2m8wls+s72szfufb+mnzw==$0,
bin$syrcyj1bsqcelpfsodudrw==$0,
bin$tjt8ipk6ras8qtx0zvn+6w==$0,
bin$vc6dzazorg6zwemticqdha==$0,
bin$xfrxhcb3s5ev8wkjfc/3vg==$0,
bin$oyrdsi+us+yhhoprzdingq==$0,
bin$vtk7saqqtecbhmdwpnp1bg==$0,
bin$x1hhdhy+trmfponyldjwdw==$0
When I tried dropping these objects, I get ORA - 00933: SQL Command not properly ended. Error deleting bin$fj7zj7y9rhqujmwrz1zmtg==$0
How do I resolve this problem? And then drop all those objects listed above.
Is it possible to drop those objects at all?
Thanks in advance.
Sam.

There is no problem sofar. The objects you see are dropped objects ( if you drop it, oracle silently rename the object but preserve it as long you have sufficient space ).
You shouldn't drop them if you don't have issue with free space - they enable you to get back accidentally dropped table without to have restore the backup ( flashback table). If you are annoyed by displaying it in PL SQL Developer, you can just add a filter to not show them to you ( all objects like 'bin%' ) or you can update to newrer version of PL SQL Developer ( i've 7.0.0.1050 and it is displayed properly, all dropped objects can be found under recyclebin folder ). Finally , if you want purge them, use the 'purge recyclebin' command.
Best regards
Maxim
