Accessing online help in Sql developer

For some reason I have lost the ability to access Help in Sql Developer. Nothing happenx when I click on the "Table of Contents" in the Help menu. I un and re installed Sql Developer, but thie problem remains.
My OS is vista 32 bit.
Thanks
Mewbie

There's a +\sqldeveloper\system1.5.1.54.40\o.ide.11.1.1.0.22.49.42\windowinglayout.xml+ under your user profile. Deleting that should revert illegal positions (as it may have got pushed off screen).
You can also delete the whole +\sqldeveloper+ folder (or selective subfolders) to reset everything to factory defaults...
Hope that helps,

Help in SQL Developer

Is there any context-sensitive help in SQL Developer. I'm looking for a way to link SQL syntax with some sort of a Help function. Searching the SQL Reference pdf just doesn't cut it. For example, when I search the SQL Reference pdf for Round, I get 134 hits. I would look for a page or 2 on how to use Round, with examples, but accessible directly from SQL Developer.

No there isn't.
There's a rejected feature request for this at the Exchange (http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42626:39:947182819474243::NO::P39_ID:5662), so chances are very small it ever makes it in.
Nevertheless, you can still vote and add comments there; if there's enough weight on an item it will eventually make it for the TODO list.
Including the doc isn't necessary, but just linking to the correct page would save a lot of time. In the case of ROUND, on pressing F1 inside the code editor or worksheet, sqldev could link directly to the SQL reference (http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/functions135.htm).
If the team doesn't want to put it in, maybe someone else does. It would make a nice extension... if you feel up for it?

Migration from Access to Oracle through SQL developer

Hi,
I want to migrate an mdb file which contains a set of tables to oracle. During this process, i have created schema and all the tables in Oracle using DDL scripts. I would like to transfer only the data to Oracle from access through SQL developer. How can I do that?
Regards,
Meena

Hi Meena,
You mention that you have created the schema and tables in Oracle using DDL scripts. Did you use the Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench, creating a Migration Repository, to carry out this process? I see from your other postings that you are experiencing issues using the Exporter tool, which would lead me to believe that you haven't used the Migration Workbench to migrate your database. Obviously you will need to resolve your Exporter issues before you can proceed to the next phase of the migration process. I will aim to assist you with those issues on the seperate thread - ShowSplashScreen("_OracleSplashScreen",3) error The XML file generated by the Exporter tool forms the basis of your MS Access migration.
In order to migrate your data from MS Access to Oracle using the Migrate Data option in Oracle SQL Developer, you will need to have access to the Migration Repository used for the migration of the MS Access database. The information contained in the Converted Model, in the Migration Repository, is used during the data migration process. The data migration requires the following connections:
1. a source database connection i.e. a database connection to the MS Access MDB file
2. a target database connection i.e. a database connection to the migration Oracle schema
3. a Converted Model connection
For further information on the creation of a Migration Repository, and the migration process, please refer to the accompanying documentation available via the online Help within Oracle SQL Developer, and also from OTN - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10405_01/doc/nav/portal_booklist.htm.
I hope this helps.

Hilary

Very difficult migration from MS Access to Oracle with SQL Developer

Dear Developers
I have tried to used for one Project Oracle Sql Developer Migration from Access to Oracle (Application Express). Was about an evaluation if Oracle Express (with Application Express) or Mysql (with PHP) as target database.
I am working with Oracle for 14 years and i earn my money in projects related with Oracle. Of course i am sentimental and i push every time when an opportunity comes to have as an option Oracle.
This time beside my sentimental approach the decision was different.
I will tell you why and i hope that someone there will listen and make something for a better Product.
I was trying yesterday the whole day to migrate an Microsoft Access database. A nightmare....
1. Microsoft Access Exporter 2000 was too slow. For a 25 MB Access database, running time was 15 Minutes. And 15 minutes to obtain an undocumented error. I followed your instruction and eliminate all references etc... as you described in HELP. a lot of time necessary to read and do..... After that i obtained an Error #..16. Sorry that i don't provide you with an exact number error. i don't have it right know and personally i am not interested anymore. For this error i don't find nothing in forums about it.... Search again and again..... Every time after waiting 15 Minutes in which you don't know exactly what application does or if really does something. I decided to delete sequentially macros, modules, forms, querys from Access database and see where Exporter stops... Time and time lost for trying and searching.... Finally i obtained my XML file only by keeping my Access tables. The file was produced even if i obtained at the end Error #5:..... Because was an error i am not really sure if the file was completly consistent with my database.
2. I followed the next steps and with some errors (enabling, disabling constraints, objects couldn't be created because of different reasons) i had my Model and Oracle Schema. I have tried to export the data from Access and import it in Oracle. data exported was in UTF8 and SQL Loader Control file doesn't have
LOAD DATA
character set utf8
So i tried to add the string "character set utf8" in my dozens of CTL files - with a freeware of course.....
Maybe you can say that if i knew that from the beginning i would have set my character set in SQL Developer. I don't know and i will not ever try with this product!
So finally after hours of working and trying and playing with my nerves, reading a lot of forums and documentation, i had an Oracle schema, maybe incomplete because of different errors at so much migration stages.
And now i have tried for the first time in my life MySQL Migration Toolkit. I read that for migration to MYSQL this tool is what i needed.
I recommend you to try the product and see something about the quality required for a piece of software. Is not enough if your product runs OK with Nortwind DEMO Access database. It should run OK with all ACCESS databases.
With the tool i have done the job in 5 MINUTES. Simple, efficiently and without errors. At the end i had the SQL Scripts and the DATA imported in the database.
Difficult to say something now. I am sentimental but i asked mysef if you can do something to improve the quality of the product.
What arguments can we provide for a client in Migration from Access to Oracle ???? Can you honestly answer at that?
Please try this MYSQL Migration Toolkit.....Maybe this give you some ideas about simple tasks and about what we really need...
Best regards
Adrian

Dear Barry and Kgronau
Thank you very much for your response. My Post was after a long day of trying to import an MDB file.
Maybe you can understand why i was so angry...
Yes i understand that your tool try to do more than other even if actually you don't really convert too much.
From Modules to make some procedures where the whole code is commented! .....
For other MDB which i tried to import in APEX the forms where really not usable. Queries are full of errors requires most of the time manual corrections.
I am sorry that i can not provide you with this MDB which cause these problems.
Data and software doesn't belong to me and the company which own it can not provide to you.
What i hope from your product is, even when errors come, to show a better error explanation. At what object in Access error ocures ? This is very important because i can correct my MDB or just delete the module,form,query in cause if SQL Developer doesn't like it....
Just showing an error Error #.... doesn't help me too much. And if an error occurs i don't know if program continues to work or is dead. No information about this. Maybe you can show that your application is alive and does something (working status etc...) ! Anyway we wait long minutes in front of dead screen....
Again, thank you very much for your attention
Adrian

MS Access 2010 and Oracle SQL Developer Version 4.0.3.16 Error

OS: Windows 7 Enterprise
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
I can not get MS Access 2010 to work/open with SQL Developer version 4.0.3.16.
ERROR when testing connection to MS Access 2010
"Status : Failure -Test failed: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified"
I added the 32-bit ODBC data source for the MS Access I am trying to use with SQL Developer version 4.0.3.16 with the "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe" application, but I still get the same error.
I appears that SQL Developer version 4.0.3.16.is looking at the 64-bit driver (ODBC Data Source) and I have no idea to direct SQL Developer version 4.0.3.16 to use the 32-bit driver (ODBC Data Source) when opening MS Access 2010.
Thank you in advance for your advice.

I downloaded the SQL Developer version 4.0.3.16 "sqldeveloper-4.0.3.16.84-x64.zip" that included the jre.
How do I check which Java JDK I am running (32-bit versuns 64-bit)?
In the command prompt I use "java -version" and I get this message "java is not recognized as an internal or external command"

Error 404 when trying to access online Help in EPM 11.1.2.3

HI All,
       I am trying to access on line help (pressing F1) in EPM 11.1.2.3 but I'm getting the folowing error :
404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
       Also I'm getting this error when try to install some client tool such as HFM Client from Tools--> Install --> HFM Client for 64bits.
       Does anyone could help on that ?
Thanks,

What web server are you using, if it is OHS then the online will be automatically configured and redirect to the help located on the Oracle website.
If you are using a different web server or want to run the help locally have a read of - Configuring Online Help to Run Locally
I also wrote a blog based on 11.1.1.2.2 - More to life than this...: 11.1.2.2 Online help or not

Where to find help with SQL Developer installation?

Hi,
I just want to try out SQL Developer and compare its capabilities to TOAD's. Unfortunately, I am not PC software savvy and now am stuck with a SQL Developer (sqldeveloper-1.2.2998) installation problem. When I clicked on the .exe file, I got a blank SQL Developer screen - there is nothing in the screen except a heading that reads 'Oracle SQL Developer'...
Does anyone know of a blog or a site that I can get some help with problems like mine?
Any help is much appreciated!

Hi,
SQL Developer forum link:
"http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=260"
There are 2 versions of SQL Developer, with/without JRE.
Try out the full install version with JRE.

OLE object Migration from Access to Oracle through SQL developer

Hello,
I used sql developer 3.1.07(oracle 11g) to perform data migration from MS ACESS.
the MS access data has a column with data type as "OLE object" ---there
saved a lot of pdf files .
Then I performed "copy to oracle" from MS access connection, the OLE data
changed to BLOB from oracle database, and data seems to be copied to
database as binary . However none of the data in the column can be opened. I
download the blob data to a file from sql developer and tried to open
using Adobe 8.1 with no success.
How can I fix this issue? or I should say, how can I migrate MS access OLE data to oracle?
Thanks,
H.M.

thx - will have a look

The original PDF content starts with:
%PDF-1.4

>>
endobj
5 0 obj
<<
/N 3
/Length 12 0 R
/Filter /FlateDecode
>>
stream
But when I try to save the content in the BLOB as a file it claims about a missing mime extension and when I ignore this message and save the file anyway as a PDF the content is corrupted.
It shows as :
Acrobat Document ..

Did you also get the missing mime type error message?

Online Migration using SQL developer

Hi All,
We are planning to migrate our production SQL server.2005 database to oracle 10g. If I use online migration using Oracle SQL Developer Tool to migrate data from SQL server 2005 to Oracle 10g, then will it migrate all those records that are inserted into SQL server 2005 LIVE database after the time when online migration process started?
For example let say the migration process started at 10:00 PM in the night and it found 200,00,000 records in transaction table, it will take 3-4 hours to migrate all of them to oracle, now during this migration time the LIVE SQL server database will still be getting new records, so will 200,00,000 plus newly inserted records will get migrated to Oracle 10g or only those which were initially counted when migration started?
Kindly advise!
Best Regards!
Irfan

Hi Irfan,
It sounds easy to find that out by a little test. I would expect that only those records will be transferred that are in the remote table at the moment when the migration started. Online data move uses COPY via the JDBC connection, as far as I know.
200,000,000 records and an online data move is a contradiction. From the manual:
Mode: Online causes the table data to be moved by SQL Developer when you have completed the necessary information in the wizard; Offline causes SQL Developer to generate scripts after you have completed the necessary information in the wizard, and you must later run those scripts if you want to move the data. (Online moves are convenient for moving small data sets; offline moves are useful for moving large volumes of data.)
If you are using offline data move, then you are using BCP to unload the data from the SQL Server database, and then the rules of BCP apply how the records are unloaded.
What are you trying to achieve? Do you want to keep the two databases in synch? Then a migration does not seem to me the best way. There are other products, like the Database Gateway for MS SQL Server, or the Golden Gate product.
Best regards
Wolfgang

Help getting SQL Developer to work

I'm just trying to get SQL Developer to work so I can use student databases. I have no intent of being a networker, and I definetly have no intent of failing this class because I can't do my homework.
Update.
Someone from my Java Class told me to restart the services related to Oracle. I attempted to do so, but got the following errors:

I believe the TNSListener service is the main problem (seeing as when I try to open the database I get an error saying "TNSListener service is not running.") So I looked that up, and it said to check sqlnet.log:

Oh right. I did change the port in an attempt to get Scott to work.
Changed back to port 1521, but still no luck.
I think my problem has something to do with OracleDBConsoleorcl. I get Error Code 2 when I try to start that service up.
Although...my SERVERNAME_SID is 192.168.15.101_orcl (Directory: C:\app\Davidi\product\11.1.0\db_1\192.168.15.101_orcl)
Which was the IP Address ipconfig set up the day that SQL Developer was actually working. Of course, that IP Address changes every time you restart windows. My teacher suggested that I set up a static IP Address or try setting it to local host, but I really don't know how to do either of those.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Cannot access online help in cs6cc

Following appears when trying to access Help via CS6CC
"Adobe Photoshop CC"
There was an error launching the default browser.
You ma need to re-install the application and the
help component.
If the issue is because I do not nor will I ever
use Google chrome or google of any flavor, I guess
I have a problem.
Sorry, do not trust google in any form.

Then what you would do is install a favorite browser and set it as default in that Browser's Preferences.
Photoshop online help does not require the Chrome browser. My online help for CS6, CC, and CC 2014 opens in FireFox.

Need help with SQL developer settings

Hi Folks,
I am trying to access a schema via a user (with read-only privilages). What this means is that off the command line interface, I have to pre-qualify all my tables using the schema name. E.g. desc schema_name.table_1 etc.
When I connect to the schema via SQL developer, I do not see any tables. Are there any settings in the SQL developer that will automatically add the pre-qualifier before each table ?
BTW, I am using Oracle SQL Developer version 2.1.1.64 and my database is 10g.
Thanks in advance
rogers42

The Tables node only lists your own tables. For others' objects, use the Other Users node.
Alternatively, you can assign synonyms to other users' objects to list them in your own tree.
Have fun,
K.
