This is as Toad using Oracle 11g Client
I tried several tries to change sql developer to appropriate NLS from preferences. Any suggestion how to get it work

Hi,
You should be able to control the language settings by adding statements like:
AddVMOption -Duser.country=US
AddVMOption -Duser.language=en
to the sqldeveloper.conf file (which is in folder sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin).
You should close SQL Developer before editing this file.

Third Party Database Support in SQL Developer

As a rule I don't (blatantly) advertise my blog on this forum, but I have just had feedback from my recent posting which made realize you might not have stumbled on this new functionality. i.e. Third Party Database Support in SQL Developer. 
In the Evaluation Release 3 (1.1.0.22.71) you can connect to and browse MySQL and SQL Server databases. The Getting Started document on OTN, does mention where to get the jdbc drivers and briefly, how to set it up in SQL Developer. This blog entry takes that a step further.
If you have access to either of these databases, please take a whirl and see what you think. For production you will also be able to connect to an MS Access database.
Regards 
Sue

The great thing, as you see from Donal's reply, is that other teams can take advantage of SQL Developer's framework, so we have a few teams working on extensions to SQL Developer and the product benefits from the work they do.
From the SQL Developer team's side, we have logged and fixed bugs for 8i support in 1.1. since the last evaluation drop, so when you get the next drop for SQL Developer, you should be able to browse more objects using 8i. Also I have logged further 8i bugs and will continue to have more fixed. This is an ongoing project. We also have a number of features that need to be added to support current releases and try to give these a high priority. So the team is focused on addressing as many requests as we can for supported features.
We know we have many customers on unsupported databases and would like to support them too, having said that, we have run a poll on this forum for ages and have had 7.5% (22) responses for databases lower than 9.x. It's a small poll, but based on all our feedback we believe we have the right focus.

DB2 on zOS support in SQL Developer?

I managed to connect to DB2 on zOS by adding third party JDBC drivers from IBM (db2jcc4.jar and db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar) in SQL Developer preferences. During connecting I get an error:
DB2 SQL Error: SQLCODE=-204, SQLSTATE=42704, SQLERRMC=SYSCAT.SCHEMATA, DRIVER=4.18.60
The connection actually works and I can successfully execute SQL statements afterwards, however autocompletion and browsing the list of tables doesn't, which renders the tool pretty useless.
So is this a faulty setup on my part, or does SQL Developer not support DB2 on zOS yet?
If that is the case, are there any plans/roadmap for at least minimal support of DB2?

Support for SQL Developer Versions

Can someone post the Lifetime Support Policy for the different versions of SQL Developer? It seems like you can still be version 1.1 for the archive, but I don't know the cutoff points of support for each version. I looked in the" Lifetime Support Policy: Coverage for Technology Products" document but SQL Developer was not listed. Is there another document that does?
Thank you -

Hi Tomi,
You cannot directly save the TestStand 3.0 sequences to 1.0. TestStand can save formats upto two versions previous to the current version. So TestStand 3.0 will the sequence into either 2.0.1 or 2.0 version.
However if you have TestStand 2.0 on your machine, then you can open this TestStand 2.0 sequence and save it as TestStand 1.0 sequence.
I hope this helps

Can SQL Developer be used for Oracle Support "HTML Output" Diag Scripts ?

Hi All,
Oracle Support has asked me to run a diagnostic script (OTL_Diag.sql for anyone familar with the script) that produces output in HTML format using SQL*Plus to help troubleshoot an OTL problem we are having. Unfortunately I don't have SQL*Plus installed and my company is not on board with me installing it because of the SQL*NET connection required. Instead I have access to SQL Developer 3.1.0.7. While this works fine for most situations I'm having problems generating the required .html output file that Support needs.
I've tried runing the OTL_Diag.sql a couple of ways using SQL Developer. First, I opened the file from SQL Developer and using the Run Script functionality (F5) I executed the code that way. This method did give me an opportunity to input the necessary parms and it did create the 'start' of the HTML file on my (Windows) file system, but the script seemed to abort with a java error that indicated some sort of format error (sorry, I'm not a java person so I can't provide any more info, but I'll be glad to get the exact error message if anyone thinks that will help solve my issue).
My second approach was to open a SQL Window where I typed in @C:\OTL_Diag.sql without quotes. This approach also gave me the opportunity to enter the necessary input parms and it seemed to end normally. It also created the 'start' of the diaganostic output file on my Windows file system, but it 'completed' before any of the 'real' diaganostic output was written to the .html file.
The Metalink note clearly specifies that the OTL_Diag.sql script is to be run with SQL*Plus 10.2 or above so I don't think I can complain too loudly to Oracle about this...but given that I don't have access to this product (and it is useless for me to again ask to install it) I am hoping someone out there has some ideas or insight as to how I can use SQL Developer to execute this diag script in a manner that will produce the required .html output file.
Thanks in advance to anyone taking time to read my post !!
Jeff

As a result, at this point in time my only available tool to run the OTL_Diag.sql script (provided by Oracle Support) is SQL Developer
>
Then you will have to edit the script, break it into pieces, execute each piece manually and save the output to feed into the next piece as required based on what the script is actually doing. Don't post the script or contents as that will likely violate your support agreement.
As I already mentioned the script may be using syntax and/or commands that are simply not supported by sql*developer. One likely area is the script may be producing intermediate output scripts that are then processed by a later portion of the script. If that is the case then my suggestion to execute the pieces manually should work but you will need to do some trial-and-error to see.
Even if you appear to be successful you will still have an issue when you communicate the results of your 'test' to Oracle support and they determine you didn't follow their instructions to use the proper tool.
Sounds like your management is either ignorant or incompetent so I suggest you cover yourself by documentating the instructions from Oracle support and the direct orders you were given to disregard those instructions. No need to discuss that issue further but clearly there are resources available somewhere in the org that has the proper privileges or they wouldn't be able to maintain and support the database. If they want to pay for support they should heed their advice. Nuff said.

SPOOLing in sql developer does not take into consideration SET ECHO OFF

I'm running SQL Developer 3.1.07.42 on Windows 7 64 bit with java 1.7
I have the following very simple script just to show the problem:
SET ECHO OFF;
SET FEEDBACK OFF;
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
SET VERIFY OFF;
SET PAGES 0;
SET HEAD OFF;
SPOOL c:\test.sql
SELECT 1, 2, 3 FROM DUAL;
SPOOL OFF;
/if I run it in TOAD 10.6.0.42 it creates the file with
1 2 3This is as expected (by me)
if I run the exact same query in SQL Developer 3.1.07.42 , it creates the file with:
< SELECT 1, 2, 3 FROM DUAL
1 2 3(the < above is actually ">" but the CODE formatting software is screwing ">")
but I don't want the ECHOed command to be spooled. For the life of me, I cannot find a way to disable the ECHO from spooling in sql developer.
Tried the same in 3.0.4 and 2.1.1 with the same (bad) result (plus some warning on some of the unsupported SET commands).
Am I missing something obvious? Cause like this, the spool command cannot be used in sql developer to generate a CSV file for example, because of the echoed command. And windows doesn't come with SED by default so that is out. (plus that my original script is integrated into a much larger and complex set of scripts and the main script using them is executed from SQL Developer as a company policy (so that everybody uses the same tool and the code runs the same for everybody))
Any ideas/suggestions are welcome
Thanks.

Hi Gary, you seem to have some extensive knowledge. I'd like to follow-up on this thread and try to understand why SQL Developer won't hide the code even though I'm already running the code as a Worksheet (I assume you mean Run Script F5 button in SQL Developer).
I generally develop in SQL Developer that does a lot of dbms_output to echo data using a Spool command. When I'm in SQL Developer I can't get the code NOT to spool, it typically is echoed directly in the spool file at the top followed by the dbms_output data. If I save the sql file and run in in sqlplus it only outputs the data (good). If I use @C:\xyz_script.sql and hit F5 in SQL Developer it only outputs the data (per your previous answer) -- good.
So why can't I hit F5 in SQL Developer in the script file and have it only output the data? It just doesn't work no matter how many "SETs" you turn-off.
Looks like Echo, Term, Feed are supported in SQL Developer, maybe supported means something other than work.

Can I do plsql in SQL Developer?

I have no idea what SQL Station is....so the phrase 'just like' may not apply; however, SQL Developer supports PL/SQL development and debugging.

SQL Developer 2.1.1 : JDBC/ODBC Bridge

Hi, I am running SQL Developer 2.1.1 and would like to to access databases other than those formally supported.
I am happy to use the JDBC/ODBC Bridge - although additional JDBC connectivity would be ideal, I gather that it is not supported.
Googling, and searching on this forum, implies that I should install the appropriate JDBC driver for the Bridge, list it on the third party JDBC drivers Preferences page, and that a 'Create Connection' dialog JDBC tab would then appear on restarting SQL Developer, as happens when you install the supported MySQL JDBC driver, for example.
I am sorry to be dim, but I cannot track down a jar file containing the JDBC/ODBC Bridge that is supported by SQL Developer to the extent of enabling the JDBC tab. The rt.jar shipped in SQL Developer's JRE does not do the job. Checking for updates from the Help menu lists nothing that looks even remotely relevant. Where should I be looking?
Thanks a lot
Mandy Shaw
Edited by: 845622 on Mar 18, 2011 10:59 AM - Clarified - sorry

The additional connection types only appear for supported databases.
I haven't tried this, but I vaguely remember some discussions from a long time ago.
Make sure the jar file (and any supporting DLLs) are on your classpath (probably dropping them in the extensions directory will do it) and then in the new connection dialog select 'Advanced' connection type. This lets you enter a JDBC URL in any format so you can enter what is required for your additional databases.
If this works, the most it will get you is a SQL Worksheet with no completion insight or syntax checking. Because SQL Developer doesn't know how to use the database catalogue, the object navigator won't work.

SQL Developer and DB2

Hello.
I connected with success a Mainframe (MVS) DB2 Database in my SQLDeveloper 3.0.04.
I have Orable Database conencted too.
I'm able to expand the Oracle database to get the list of the tables for example.
I'm not able to expand the DB2 database to get all interesting informations.
I use these drivers :
db2jcc.jar
db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar

That's what the DB2 support in SQL Developer is for - for you to migrate to Oracle.
So the DB2 supported platforms on that migration page are also the DB2 platforms SQL Developer supports.
Of course if you want to use SQL Developer to work with SQL Server or Sybase - feel free to. Just don't expect to have the ability to update data, debug stored procedures, or to manage those environments. Running queries and browsing objects - that should work OK.

Still Using OLD SQL Developer - Concerns about Direction / Quality

I've been an avid user and supporter of SQL Developer for a little over a year now; prior to that I was a Quest TOAD advocate and had been for about 10 years. I use the tool every day, primarily for object browse and PL/SQL development and debugging. I'm a DBA so I don't do a lot of development, but I really like the functionality offered in SQL Developer and find that it's a great supplement to my SQL*Plus command-line scripts. However, I'm still using v1.0.0.15.57 and don't feel like I have much incentive to update. Each time a new release comes out I get hopeful and check out the release notes, but it always seems that there are more problems introduced than bugs fixed. I have been a vocal advocate of the tool here, working to replace aging products like TOAD and SQL Navigator and singing the praises of a community-developed product like SQL Dev, but my fervor is starting to falter a bit. What's happening to the QC on this product? Seems to me that the focus has shifted from offering a compact, high-performance tool for Oracle developers and administrators in favor of a more feature-rich but less stable product. I'd like to know what others out there think about this. Am I just missing the boat?

I just love how the community, through the SQL Developer Exchange, influences on the direction to take.
In general, I don't have any objections on which new features get implemented when. Although some basic functionality is still lacking, like file-based development. If you support a feature, support it fully, or it will explode in your face.
Really, the only dreadful mistake in the product is the incredibly poor Quality Assurance.
I can't believe these guys work for the so well known reliable Oracle.
The framework is a present from the JDeveloper team, so they should be able to focus 100% on database functionality, but as you discovered every new release introduces at least 2 new bugs for every bug fixed, plus the regression of previous fixed bugs!
Sporting a free product is no excuse for screwing up.
Second mistake is let the majority of bugs reported through this forum slip by. They've got us as they're most valuable QA, but often just say: "log a bug through Metalink", or just don't respond to the reported issue.
There are several unrecoverable crashes, which really are showstoppers (issues which should be fixed before releasing), but release after release just don't get fixed, not even acknowledged. I understand some reports get buried inside threads that really have a different subject, but I've even tried putting in bold: "Unrecoverable crash:" in a new post's title, but without getting any response.
If I can follow the posts in this forum, working for another company, surely the team can do so also, especially when it's their job for which they get paid!
Let's just hope the next release meets the promises of improving the stability and fixing flawed features.
Regards,
K.

Sql developer not working which i got when i installed oracle 11g on win7

Hi i successfully instaled my oracle 11g on windows 7,but when iam trying to use my sql developer chich i got by default with 11g is not working ..when i open it its asking me for "select the path of java.exe file" when i browse and given the right path .iits again giving me the same pop and not throughing any error msg at least.
Could u pls help me out on this??

Well, not supported does not necessarly mean does not work, but if you have problem, then your only way is to find a solution on your own or through other fellows who are doing the same.
Anyway, you could ask your question in the SQL Developer dedicated forum, but again, you could have some unexpected issues by working on non-supported config :

Which sql developer version will support oracle 8.1.7

hi
which sql developer version will support oracle 8.1.7 or is it necessary to use plsql developer to connect to database (oracle 8.1.7)

Hi,
SQL Developer version 1.2.1 is able to connect to 8.1.7 with limited functionality (prepared reports and browser for objects could not work)..
Next version (tested with 3.2 64-bit) of SQL developer could be "hacked" to connect to 8.1.7 by simply copy file C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\jdbc\lib\classes12.zip from Oracle client prior 11
into appropriate jdk\jre\lib\ext folder.

SQL Developer Vs Aqua Studio Clob Size support

Hi,
I'm trying to run a query against 10g which returns huge volume of data.
In Aqua Studio the clob is returned, but in SQL Developer I didn't get any result. Is there any settings I've to do in SQL Developer to support larger volume.
Your help/pointer is appreciated.
Thanks

When positioned in the result cell, there should be a button (...) to expand the contents. Does that work?
