Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler start up error

Hi All,
I just downloaded Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler (2.0.0.57.0) [Released 1 July 2009] by selecting the option "Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler for Windows (This zip file includes the JRE)"
After I installed the same and tried to run it by clicking datamodeler.exe, I get the following error message
"unable to create an instance of the Java virtual machine located at path:..\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll"
On the same machine I can successfuly run the Oracle SQL Develper with no errors. My machine is having Windows XP Professional SP3.
Any ideas? If there was a problem with Java, than the Oracle SQL Developer should also not run. But as stated it runs with out any error but the Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler gives the above error.
Regards,
JAA149

1 - The above problem has nothing to do with the memmory. I tried on a 400 MB RAM, 900 MB RAM, 1.5 MB RAM & 2 MB RAM with the same arror.
"unable to create an instance of the Java virtual machine located at path:..\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll"
http://i30.tinypic.com/9vkwf6.jpg
2 - There are two "datamodeler.exe: files
One is at D:\datamodeler\datamodeler.exe
2nd is at D:\datamodeler\bin\datamodeler.exe
The same error occurs with both the files.
3 - The Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler version is "Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler (2.0.0.57.0) [Released 1 July 2009]" and the file I downloaded is "Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler for Windows (This zip file includes the JRE) - (57M)"
If I look in "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\README.txt" I find
"Java(TM) Platform, Standard Edition Runtime Environment Version 6"
If I run "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\javacpl.exe" I get
http://i30.tinypic.com/mt8ocn.jpg
If I run "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\jureg.exe" I get
http://i28.tinypic.com/30boiyo.jpg
If i check at the control panle add/remove program
http://i30.tinypic.com/1428tba.jpg
If I go to "http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp" and download "jre-6u16-windows-i586-s.exe" and run it.
If I go to "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6" I find the same files as in "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre"
I am able to run Oracle SQL Developer with out any kind of error let alone the above one. But with Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler I get the above mentioned error no matter what I try.
As the error states "unable to create an instance of the Java virtual machine located at path:..\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll". The file "jvm.dll" is located at two places. One at "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll" and the second at "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll"
A similiar problem occurs with JDeveloper with the fllowing solution
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=506339&start=0&tstart=0
Which states the following
"hello!
in the problem with JDeveloper i have a solution. The jdk have a file jvm.dll in the path: jdk/jre/bin/client/jvm.dll this is the problem ... now in the path:jdk/jre/bin/client/ojvm has a file with the same name if you copy and paste this file to the another path, now its works fine your Jdeveloper.
Jdeveloper use two files to jvm.dll to work one in the folder /client and other in /server copy the same file to the two locations for precaution
for me work fine thanks..."
I tried to do the same (Copy from client folder to server folder)
D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
COPIED THIS FILE TO
D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
Nada. So I reversed it (copied from server folder to client folder)
D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
COPIED THIS FILE TO
D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
Does not work. So I tried another solution stated at the same forum entry
"Well,
i solved the problem by this way :
<SQLDEVELOPER>/jdev/bin/ide.conf
In this file, change this line :
AddVMOption -Xmx512M
by
AddVMOption -Xmx256M
Now, the executable is lauching correctly. No more errors with Java Virtual Machine.
But is it a good thing to solve it like that ?"
But the ide.conf file is only at "D:\sqldeveloper\ide\bin\ide.conf" which is for the SQL Developer and not the SQl Developer Data Modeler
Correct me if I am wrong but
JRE = Java Run Time Envoirment
JDK = Java Development Kit
And Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler needs JRE and not JDK. In any case I download JDK
jdk-6u14-javafx-1_2-windows-i586.exe (121,306 KB) and installed it but no succcess.
I tried every thing except completely re-install my whole PC.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Cordially,
Jawad

Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.0 Bugs, Resolution and workarounds

The purpose of this thread is to list bugs discovered while using ORACLE SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.0
Mainly with SQL SERVER 2005 and ORACLE 10g models.

SQL Server Physical model doesn't save table identity column.
here are the steps to get this bug:
1. create a table in relational model with a column as an integer to be used as an identity.
2. create or open a physical model for SQL-SERVER 2005
3. open the table in the physical model
4. edit the integer column property dialog
5. tick the identity check box and close the property dialog
6. save the model and close it
7. open it again, you will find the identity check is removed! (probably not saved from the start)

Oracle sql developer Data Modeler -er diagram

Hi
I tried to Oracle sql developer data modeler for show relational ER diagrams.
Tables are came on data modeler but not shown relations between tables.
like this
How can show relations between tables?
http://i54.tinypic.com/30wxq1e.jpg

SDDM cannot create an ER diagram with only simple table definitions. It requires that primary keys (PKs) and foreign keys (FKs) be defined first. My guess is you imported these table designs from an existing database. If so, that database does not contain those constraints. (I have found this to be an issue in many organizations over the last 20 years - including my current job). You will have to determine:
1. The PKs for each table (either via data profiling or talk to someone who "knows" what they are supposed to be, or by reading application logic/code used to manage the tables).
2. The FKs between the tables. You may be able to guess some of that based on column names, otherwise you will have to figure them out (same as above)
Then you can update the model in SDDM with the PK definiions (manually). You must do that first before you draw in the FKs between the tables. Now if you want a true Entity Relationship model you need create a logical model from this relational model. The SDDM utility for that will convert the tables to entities and the FKs to relationships.
I have the basic steps with screen shots outlined in a presentation I gave in Denver in late 2009. It was an earlier version of SDDM but the basics are the same. You can find the presentation is here: http://www.rmoug.org/QEW2009/SQL%20Developer%20Data%20Modeler%20(2).pdf. Start at about slide 12.

Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler Versus SQL Developer

Friends,
I'm trying to understand the differences between Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler and the ability to use the Data Modeler in SQL Developer.
I've looked at both products home pages on OTN, http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/datamodeler/index.html & http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/index.html and would appreciate your comments on my findings so far
1) The Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler is a stand-a-lone chargeable product whereas the use of the Data Modeler functionality of SQL Developer is free
2) The Data Modeler functionality within SQL Developer is basically a "viewer" I can create ERD's of my existing tables by dragging them into the modeler from the object navigator but that's about it. I can't save the diagram for later use or use it to change the structure of the table(s)
3) If I need to have "Oracle Designer" like ERD capabilities then I need to use Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler (after purchase!)
4) Are there any other differences I have missed?
Thanks in advance

You can open any diagram created in the stand-alone product in the SQL Developer Data Modeler Viewer and navigate through all property dialogs and the full navigator, just like you can in the stand-alone product, but with no update capabilities. This allows developers to fully review the model and all properties, without making changes.

Import of ERwinR8 data models into Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler

Hi! My site want to move off ERwin R8 and use Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler. When will Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler support the import of ERwin R8data model xml?
Thanks very much, Patty

Hi,
You can add the classic SCOTT schema with EMP/DEPT tables to a 10g Express Edition DB by running this script as SYSTEM:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\RDBMS\ADMIN\scott.sql
Also, you may wish to upgrade to the current version of SQL Developer:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html
As for importing a .dmp file, you import it to the database, not SQL Developer. Please post that question to the appropriate forum.

MySQL functionality within Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler

Hi all,
I've read a few forum posts here that lead me to believe that MySQL is not currently supported by the data modeler tool (Link #1 I got to by clicking on the Statement Of Direction link on the main page SQL Developer Data Modeler</title><meta name="Title" content="SQL Developer Data Modeler"&g… Link #2 I got to by doing a search on the word MySQL within the forum search):
Link 1:
SQL Developer Data Modeler Statement of Direction
Link 2:
Can datamodeler be used with MySQL?
SQL Developer (not the Data Modeler tool, but the database admin-type tool not for modeling) does support MySQL using the latest MySQL Connector J 5.1 driver but, strangely, it doesn't seem the Data Modeler supports it, though. Can anyone please confirm that MySQL is currently unsupported for the Data Modeler tool? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
it doesn't seem the Data Modeler supports it, though.
Data Modeler doesn't have specific support for MySQL - i.e you cannot generate DDL for MySQL. Though you can import form MySQL server using JDBC connection in standalone DM or using created MySQL connection if you are using DM inside SQL Developer.
You can import definitions for tables(columns, PK and UK constraints, indexes, foreign keys) and views.

Using DEBUG Mode in Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler to Log SQL

Hello,
I am looking for the possibilty to enable the logging of SQL in Data Modeler.
Jeff Smith wrote an article how to do this for SQL Developer, for Data Modeler there are other configuration files. Does anyone have an idea?
Best regards,
Joop

Hello Philip,
the URL to the article of Jeff is: http://www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2012/10/using-debug-mode-in-oracle-sql-developer-to-log-sql/
in the install directory of Data Modeler 3.3.0.734 exists a file datamodeler\datamodeler\bin\datamodeler.conf. This analogue the situation for sql Developer.
However in this file there is no reference to a (non)debug file.
In ide/bin directory there is a ide-logging-debug.conf and ide-logging.conf file. But they are not referenced. Should one of them be included?

Experiences on first usage of Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeling

Hi @ll,
working with Quest Toad Data Modeler 2.25 over a year, I'm searching for a replacement with the ability to create ALTER TABLE... statements. Today I downloaded the standalone version and tried to compare my local database against our develoment server.
Our usage scenario is that the development database can be changed by each developer. We have a trigger activated for monitoring (and logging) database changes. Currently the tested and released changes will be merged into the Toad data model manually by me.
Using the Toad model, we create DDL scripts for the SAP supported databases: Oracle, MaxDB, MS-SQL and DB2.
I'd like to facilitate this process.
h3. Test 1
1. Import the current model from the development database (User A), save it as XML
2. Import the current model from my local database (User B), save it as XML
3. Compare the XML models
h4. Results
a) each table is displayed as modified, although no difference is displayed in any column
b) in the DDL, source tables are renamed with a "bcp_" prefix
c) for NVARCHAR2, data types are changed (length from 756 to 510, 1800 to 1200)
h3. Test 2
1. Import the current model from the development database (User A), save it as XML
3. Compare the imported model with the XML
h4. Results 2
a) The field attribute "Mandatory" changed from "true" to "false"
h3. Test 3
1. Import from database
2. Compare against a XML scheme
h4. Results 3
a) Comparing shows the modified tables only - this works nearyl as expected
b) still different length for datatype NVARCHAR2
h3. Wish List
a) the Open File dialog always opens in "My Files", better would be the last opened directory
b) While starting the comparing, allow changing "source" and "target"
c) Allow comparing two database schemes
d) Support for MaxDB?
Overall, this new tool looks very promising and I'm looking forward to testing the next versions ;-)

Hi Christian,
thanks for trying Oracle Data Modeling.
EAR2 is released and NVarchar2 problem is fixed there. Also are fixed some problems related to your area of interest - applying differences to database.
On your observations:
1) each table is displayed as modified, although no difference is displayed in any column - column ordering could be changed, or some of table properties - you can check this by clicking on table node and you can look at details tab for more information
2) in the DDL, source tables are renamed with a "bcp_" prefix - this is typical rename, create, copy pattern for applying changes that require restructuring of table and intermediate preserving of content. If it's not enough you can try "Advanced DDL" option which gives more control over the whole process - self controlled script with logging, restarting, execution window, error masking. You have option to unload table into file system and load it back after original table is recreated (LOB columns are not supported - we can add support if there is demand for that). Transformation function can be defined for columns with changed data type. There are few words about that in "Data Modeling overview" document (p.15) - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/pdf/sqldeveloperdatamodelingoverview.pdf

Philip

Problem Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler 4.1

Hi:
I´m tried to use the new 4.1 version (BETA) of Datamodeler but I have one problem at the time I execute the program.
When I work the datamodeler.exe the console show me:
UIDefaults.getUI() failed: no ComponentUI class for: oracle.ide.controls.StatusBarControl$JDevStatusBar[,0,0, 0x0 , invalid.......
¿Can you help me?
Thanks.

Hi,
Data Modeler 4.1 needs Java 1.8 to run successfully.
If you try to run Data Modeler 4.1 with Java 1.7 it gets stuck in "Registering Extensions", and this error appears in the console log.
When you try to start it with Java 1.7 it normally gives an "Unsupported JDK version" warning, which identifies the file that needs to be updated to refer to a Java 1.8 jdk.
On Windows, this will normally be C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Roaming\datamodeler\4.1.0.866\product.conf,
but if you start it from the console using the datamodeler64.exe it will probably use the file
C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Roaming\datamodeler64\4.1.0.866\product.conf instead.
You can edit this file. Alternatively if you delete the file, it should display the dialog asking for the location of the JDK next time.

Support for 11x17 paper in Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler 4.0.0.833

In last versions of the version 3 of this product the ability to print your data model on 11x17 paper was included by default. This support was even in some of the beta 4 version of the data modeler. But, in the release of the production version for this tool, the 11x17 paper printing option has dissapeared from this product. Can you please add this back into your product because those of us with large data models but no plotter need this paper size.
Thanks,

Hi,
What printer do you use? You need to set it as default printer for your system and you should get ledge size as option if the printer supports it.
Otherwise you can print diagram to PDF file and then you can use Adobe reader or Foxit reader to print to separate pages - it's poster in Adobe and scaling type "tile large pages" in Foxit

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

No this helps a lot. It's not strange. Firstly, in a versioned repository you should see Private Workareas and Shared workareas, so your workarea may be in either of these. It won't be in the Global Shared Workarea, as this only for non-versioned repositories. (I like to open the RON by selecting the full Repository, that way I can see the private and shared worlareas and the configuration and containers all in the same tree.
Now your workarea is defined by a set of rules, so when you expand the workarea in the RON, and select the object, then that's the workarea and object you'll see in the import dialog in the Data Modeler. So if you check it out and check it back in, and can't see it in the RON, then the rule is not seeing this object. (Did you refresh the workarea in the RON?) If you can't see it in the RON, you can't see it in the Data Modeler. If you're working in a versioned repository, you need to work in the specific work area, i.e V27 and this is what you need to select in the Data Modeler.
It looks like you are selecting the wrong workarea in the Data Modeler.
