New To SQL Developer Data Modeler - Data Dictionary Report

I am new to Data Modeler and I am currently learning what I can do and can't with it. Is there a way to generate a "Data Dictionary" report? We would like a report we can distribute that describes all tables and columns with descriptions and comments. We used to use an old version of Power Designer and we could do this from the data model we created. Is it possible to do something like this from SQL Developer Datas Modeler?

Hi,
Saxon is just an option, you don't need it by default.
Could be permissions problem. What are you working on i.e. OS? What java version do you use?
Even though you have specified directory for the reports do you have permissions to write there?
Report generation directories priority is:
1. Custom directory if specified in Settings->Data Modeler->Default Reports Directory
2. /datamodeler/reports/
3. User home directory
You must have permissions somewhere on these directories. On the other hand you are saying that report_data.xml is generated so you have permissions.
Okay. Now I saw a bug in 710. When you click "Generate report" there are progress dialogs and result dialog, but if you meanwhile click somewhere or change focus, these dialogs are hiding below main "Reports" dialog i.e. you are not seeing them. If you use Alt+Tab the result dialog will popup. This bug is fixed in the next release.
So you must see either result dialog or error dialog at the end of report generation. If not check with Alt+Tab if it is not hidden somewhere below and if there is no such dialog close the DataModeler and check the log file for some error.
There is SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.3 Early Adopter Available.

Above issue is fixed there and report is opening automatically.

  • Can I use Oracle SQL Developer to "Move" data?

    Hello,
    I'm new to Oracle and I'm trying to use Oracle SQL Developer to export data from one table (on server A) to another table (on sever B). I'm able to create a .ldr file but I don't know how to use the .ldr file in Oracle SQL Developer? I would appreciate any help you can provide.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    The name of tables are different ?
    If I understood then try this below:
    e.g:
    C:\> exp user/password@connectionA file=maytable.dmp tables=SAFETYADMIN_TBL_0022_43
    C:\> imp user/password@connectionB file=mytable.dmp full=y
    After this import, then you can:
    [pre]
    C:\>sqlplus user/password@connectionB
    SQL> insert into SAFETYUSER_TBL_0022_44
         select * from SAFETYADMIN_TBL_0022_43;
    SQL> drop table SAFETYADMIN_TBL_0022_43;Feedback if this is not that you want.
    Cheers

  • Newbie blues: Oracle Sql Developer showing different data from Sqlplus.

    Newbie blues: Oracle Sql Developer showing different data from Sqlplus.
    First of all; it would be difficult to know less about Oracle than myself.
    I just installed a recent copy of the server and am running SQl Developer 3.2.20.10.
    I made a small test table , borrowed some pl sql code to add rows, then wrote code to delete some rows. Lots of fun.
    In SQL Developer “Select * from t1;” now shows 7 records, which seems right.
    I wanted other views of the data and so logged in from the command line using SQLPlus.
    The same code here shows the table prior to the delete, with 600 plus rows. Needless to say I’ve logged out and back in again, with no changes.
    No fun ! What am I not understanding here ?

    Others sessions never see uncommitted data

    did you ever actually issue COMMIT so other session can see the changed data?

  • Two data Models in one report

    Hi There,
    I have created two data model for my report. The queries have no relation to each other. Is that possible to put both these in one report with same user parameters. or do u have any better suggestion to do this.
    For Example:
    select count(*) from (select name "Worker" from person
    where start_date between (:P_1) and (:P_2)
    select count(*) from (select name "ADMIN PERSON" from admin
    where start_date between (:P_1) and (:P_2)
    Thanks

    Hi Jagjit,
    I created one report with 2 SQL queries:
    select count(*) from employees where department_id < :P_1
    and
    select count(*) from departments where department_id < :P_1
    And it worked fine. So your report should be OK. By the way, a report has just one "Data Model". It is possible to have 2 or more "Queries" in the data model.

  • Using mulitple data models in a report

    Is it possible to use more than one data model in a report? For example, we have many reports that are based on several data models. There are also various sub-templates that could be associated with a report, independent of the report's main data model. I cannot see a way to join data models, leaving me with only two apparent choices:
    1) Add (replicate) all the sub-template data sources and data sets to each data model
    2) Create a mega model that has everything.
    Any ideas for a better solution? Seems like a common problem...
    Thanks,
    Armand

    Hello, and thank you for answering.
    Puting a # infront of portal30.wwctx_api.get_user didn't work
    When i did that, it resulted in this pl/sql code in the package:
    if l_column.get_value = '#portal30.wwctx_api.get_user' then
    l_style := l_row.get_style;
    l_style.set_color('blue');
    l_style.set_background_color('red');
    l_style.set_font('');
    l_style.set_bold('NO' );
    l_style.set_italic('NO');
    l_style.set_underline('NO');
    l_style.set_blink('NO');
    l_row.set_style(l_style);
    end if;
    It looks like the portal treat all that is inside the value field as text.
    I tried to come around the problem by editing the plsql code which is stored in the database. This worked, but when i tried to edit it from the portal afterwards, my changes wasn't reflected.

  • Data model in Interactive Reporting

    Hi,
    Could any one clarify me on What is Data model in Interactive report and how we can use exactly.

    A data model is the physical representation of your tables joined together.
    In SQL terms it the FROM and WHERE (JOIN) clauses.
    an IR Query section depends on a Data Model. That Data Model can be a Master Data Model (Shared with many Query Sections) or a regular Data Model.
    Master Data Models cannot be changed within the Query Section - Their Background is Grey and will indicate so in the upper left corner of the screen...
    Locked Data Model: {data model section name}
    Master Data Models are useful in that you only design it once and then it and its connection are shared with many Query Sections. And modifications to the Data Model are then applied in the Data Model Section and each dependent Query Section has those changes.
    For a more comple defintion open Interactive Reporting and go to HELP. In the Search type "Data Modeling"
    You will have plenty to read.

  • Create data models using interactive reporting

    Hey guys,
    I was wondering how you create data models using interactive reporting. An simple example would be great? I would really appreciate if I could get an answer.
    Also, I wanted to understand a real world situation that you guys might have faced with creating data models, etc...thanks a ton :-)

    Your question is not that much clear on what you are asking for.
    But for reference please have a look at the below doc which explain the Integration with IR and webanalysis what you require.

  • SQL Developer extensions : Help required regarding reports

    Hi,
    We are developing an extension for SQL Developer which is similar to reports . So , I need some information regarding the APIs related to report output.
    I need to access the resultset of the query output of a User Defined report so that we can customize our extension for some specific requirements. Is there a way to access the resultset after the query gets executed ? Or Are there any APIs where I can look into for some understanding of the background process which happens after the query execution and before the output gets printed on the output window.
    Any help or suggestions on this is highly appreciated.

    Please do not duplicate threads. No answer means nobody can or wants to help.
    At most you can bump the first thread in case someone missed it.

  • SQL Developer 3.0 data modeler print-to-pdf not working

    I am working in Windows XP. I am running SQL Developer version 3.0.04, which now includes a full-featured version of the Data Modeler. I have run into a problem with this version, which did not occur in the stand-alone version of the Data Modeler.
    When I try to print a data model diagram [File -> Data Modeler -> Print Diagram -> To PDF file], a PDF file is generated. When I try to open that PDF file with Adobe Reader (version 9.4.3) I get the following error message:
    "Adobe Reader could not open 'finename.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged(for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
    Furthermore, the size of the file in question is 0 bytes. When I use the same process in the stand-alone version, a readable PDF file is created whose size is 858 bytes.
    The 'print to IMAGE file' option works well in both versions.
    Any help resolving this would be appreciated.

    I am having almost same problem. PDF file is genereted about 400K but blank.

  • SQL Developer - viewing table data while debugging

    Apologies if this is in the wrong forum.
    I'm using SQL Developer to debug a complex stored procedure line by line. There are a lot of inserts / updates / deletes in the procedure and I'd like to be able to view the data in the relevant tables after each statement has been run to see the effect of each statement.
    Trouble is, when I try to do this, SQL Developer shows the contents of the tables as if they have been unaffected by the stored procedure. Is there a setting somewhere or some type of locking I can use to see the data changes as they happen?

    Only the session that is inserting the data can see that new data until the session issues a commit, so I would doubt that you could do this. You probably want to a) view the data before the insert or b) (ugly but should work) put a trigger on the table being inserted so it inserts a copy of the data to a tracking table. This procedure will have to have the AUTONOMOUS TRANSACTION pragma in order to not be held until your debug session commits.

  • SQL Developer Migration Workbench - Data Type Mappings

    Hi,
    Using SQL Developer 1.1.3.2766 to migrate a MySQL 4.1.22 database.
    How do I change a system defined data type mapping? I would like to map "text" data type to "varchar2". This is something I could do in OMWB.
    I can create a new rule but cannot delete the system defined "text" rule.
    thanks,
    Greg

    Greg,
    You cannot delete the system default rules, but if you create your own, these will take preference during the convert phase. Is this not the case?

  • SQL Developer Not displaying Date columns

    I installed SQL Developer on my machine today and when i query for data I don't find any value in the columns which are of DATE datatype.
    For Eg if i says select * from dual; i get null as output.
    Can anyone confirm if this is happening to you also or if there is some problem with my installation.

    Dates work fine for me.
    What value do you get for your NLS_DATE_FORMAT parameter with the following query:
    select parameter, value from nls_session_parameters where parameter = 'NLS_DATE_FORMAT';
    You can change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT as in the following example:
    alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-Mon-YYYY';
    Also, the column in the dual table is not actually in date format - try "select sysdate from dual;" instead.
