Can SQL developer connect to Oracle 8i?

Hi, guys:
Is there any way that we can connect oracle 8i with SQl developer? We are rewriting a system with APEX 4.1 and PL/SQL on Oracle 11g R2. However, the legacy system was written in Oracle portal on Oracle 8i platform. We cannot connect SQL developer 3.1.07 to oracle 8i for some reason. Anyone could give us a hint on this?
Thanks a lot!

The JDBC 11.x.x drivers do not support 8i or earlier versions of the database and the current sql developer releases use those drivers.
If your Oracle 8 version is 8.17 or later you should use the JDBC 10.2.0 driver; otherwise prior to 8.17 you will need the JDBC 9.0.1 driver to support it.
Here is the official Oracle JDBC page that shows the Oracle DB versions supported for each of the JDBC drivers available and also describes the JDBC jars and what JDK versions they support.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/jdbc-faq-090281.html#02_01
The various JDBC jar files and supporting files are available via link on that page but no source code.
The official download page for JDBC, SQLJ, Oracle JPublisher and Universal Connection Pool (UCP) is here
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/jdbc/index-091264.html
If you download an older version of sql developer as Gary suggested make sure it uses one of the JDBC 10.x or earlier jars and also make sure that the jar you use supports the JDK version you are using. Any mismatch and you will likely have problems. The first link I provided above has ALL of the allowable combinations listed.

Can SQL Developer connect to ANY third party database

As of my investigations, SQL Developer can currently connect only to Oracle, MSSQL, MySQL and Access.
What about connecting to any database using JDBC? Is this possible / planned? I'm currently interested in PostgreSQL.
Thanks, Viliam

In the next release users will be able to connect to Sybase. We do have plans to extend to further third-party databases, but this is not scheduled for the short term. Are you looking for a migration solution? The Migration Technology center has a lot of detail and support we provide for third party database support. http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/index.html

How to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?

Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Database 11gR1. The Database Control Console https://localhost.localdomain:1158/em works correctly. I can create a Database and a table successfully.
My OS is Linux and connects to internet successfully.
In order to run SQL statements. we need to use Oracle SQL Developer. I connect Oracle SQL Developer in the following way:
Connection Name: DB1 (this is my database name as well)
Username: SYS (this is the user name I used to login to the Console)
Password: SYS (this the password used to login to the Console)
Connection Type: Basic
Host Name: localhost
Port: 1158
SID: DB1 (this is created during installing the Database)
But the error message comes up: "Status: Failure - IO exception Connection Reset."
Can any folk tell me how to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?

Can any folk tell me how to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?username: sys
password: enter_your_correct_password given at the time of oracle installation
role: select sysdba if you would connect as sysdba else select normal for users other than sys
hostname: enter your oracle server hostname or ip address eg:- 192.168.11.12
to find the hostname open terminal/command prompt in oracle installed machine
type ---> hostname
type ---->ping hostname
you can find the ipaddress of the server
port number: 1521 (default) ----> i guess , else check the port number in the tnsnames.ora file under your ORACLE_HOME/network/admin folder
SID: DB1
try it

Working on SQL Developer / pl/sql developer without installing Oracle

HI,
I am working on SQL Developer tool without installing oracle into my local machine.
I just took server IP as hostname and continuing with the same/
Now, since I donot have tns names, I am not able to use any other user other than my work related.
like scott etc.
could anyone let me know, is there any way that i can work on sql developer or pl/sql developer without installing oracle into local machine
like using scott etc...
for testing and learning purpose of self code.
thanks in advance.

No, you do not need a TNS alias (as the connection string can be build manually by the application and the driver).
So SQL*Developer needs to have an OCI (Oracle Call Interface) client driver. This can be "installed" using Oracle Instant Client.
Instant Client does not really install - to use it takes 3 basic steps:
- download it (zip file)
- unzip it to a directory (e.g. C:\InstantClient on Windows)
- add to your Windows User's environment an ORACLE_HOME variable that points to this directory
These steps should suffice in making the driver in in Instant Client available to Oracle applications. (works for me running an Oracle OCI client like <i>Mumbai</i> or Oracle's <i>SQL Data Modeler</i>).
If you want a tnsnames.ora file, then create the file and create a new environment variable called TNS_ADMIN that refers to directory location of the file. It can use the same location as your Instant Client directory.
PS. I assume you have an existing Oracle server to connect to.

Partial(?) SQL Developer Connection

Here are the symptoms:
Can only connect to SQL Express as SYS (or SYSTEM)
When using TNS, no schemas show in Network Alias dropdown
No developer-created tables (in SQL Express) can be viewed in SQL Developer connection
Environment:
Using local machine (laptop)
OS: Windows 7
SQL Developer 4
I have a feeling I'm just missing something in configuration or set-up, but am not sure. Since I cannot create a full connection to a database using Developer, it's not useful to me and I would like to use it. Because the Network Alias dropdown isn't showing me anything, I'm wondering if anything is wrong with my SQL Express installation.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

My apologies. I have been told that the developer forum was the incorrect place to ask help for this problem. So I marked it as answered (by direction, presumably by the moderator). In the response, I was told to pose the question in the general area, which is what I thought I was doing.
No need to apologize - we are trying to get you to the right forum for your question.
You said you are using sql developer 4 and pPart of what you said was this:
When using TNS, no schemas show in Network Alias dropdown
Oracle doesn't have any such 'Network Alias dropdown' - and 'schemas' would NOT be in a TNSNAMES.ORA file: that file has SIDs or SERVICE_IDs and is normally used with an OCI Oracle client installation. Is that dropdown something on the connection dialog in sql developer?
And when you connect as one user you won't see any tables or objects for other users unless you open the 'Other Uses' tree.
You don't need a TNSNAMES.ORA file to connect if you use 'BASIC' as the connection type.

Setting Up SQL Developer for MS SQL SERVER 2000
1) Install/Extract SQL Developer 1.2.1 in C:\Program Files\Oracle
     Making the {$sqldevhome} = C:\Program Files\Oracle\sqldeveloper
2) Obtain the JDBC SQL SERVER Pluggin (jtds-1.2.2-dist.zip) from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=33291&package_id=25350
3) Unzip jtds-1.2.2-dist.zip
     Creates:      jtds-1.2.2.jar
               \x86\SSO\ntlmauth.dll
4) Copy the jtds-1.2.2.jar into:
{$sqldevhome}\jlib Directory.
5) Copy the the ntlmauth.dll dll in the \x86\SSO subdir into:

               Note: Use the jar filename, not its parent directory for entry.
7) Restart SQL Developer and try your SQL Server 2000 Connection

SQL Developer connect to RAC12c (Basic) failed with ORA-01017 invalid username/password; logon denied

I'm using scan in hostname to connect as Basic that failed ORA-01017. I'm using the same credential system to logon from sqlplus and is fine.
Any ideas?

Essentially all you have said is: help me, I have a problem.
1. full version of sql developer being used
2. full version of Java SDK being used
3. full version of JDBC jar file being used
4. full details on the connection information being used
5. full version of the Oracle client being used
6. confirm that both your sql*plus and sql developer connections were made from the SAME machine
A Basic connection uses the thin driver while sql*plus is using OCI

Query on SQL Developer Connections Tree Does Not Display Objects

Hi Gurus, Could you please clarify on the below. As per the note ID 1458753.1, SQL Developer Connections Tree Does Not Display Objects to user in order to access database objects outside the owned schema/account. ------------------------- By default, and without granting wide privileges such as DBA, a user will only see his or her own objects in the first level object nodes under their connection. Objects in other schemas must be accessed via the Other Users node under the connection. This is the intended functionality/display in SQL Developer. ------------------------- Is there any other way we can achieve this? Requirement is very common - user A owns all objects and user B granted read/read-write privileges on user A objects. Now user B wants to Display user A objects in the corresponding objects node of SQL developer. Could any one shed some light here? Thanks Venu

First off, there is a dedicated SQL Developer forum where lots of the developers hang out. Those folks are way more knowledgable that we are about the tool.
That said, I have no problem displaying dates. Do you just have a problem with this particular query/ field/ table? Or does it affect all dates? What version of SQL Developer are you using? 1.1 is out now.

Run sql statements in PL/Sql Developer without installing Oracle database?

Hi all,
I wish to ask is there any possibility to run Run sql statements in PL/Sql Developer without installing Oracle database?
Regards.

Hello Jimmy,
this is the forum for the tool SQL Developer and, as the title says, *(Not for general SQL/PLSQL questions)*.
PL/Sql Developer is not an Oracle tool, but from allound allroundautomations.
And you need access to a database to run SQL statements. This does not need to be one installed by yourself.

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.

Windows 7 Home ... will have challenges at some point, as Oracle may not be completely compatible with Windows 7.
Aside from that, you may find firewall issues even if you are on the same machine, since the default connection from SQLDeveloper is to use the network (even loopback).

XE =

    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
)and you will note the XE on the left side of the equal sign (which is a network alias), and one XE in the (SERVICE_NAME = XE) line. On YOUR system, the XE should be replaced by whatever you called your database (often 'orcl'). REMEMBER THIS ALIAS;-) and also make note of the host that your entry uses. If your host name changes because of DHCP, you're hooped (for a while).
If the database is registered (shows up in the list), the next step is to make sure a userid is available. You could use 'system' (try to avoid using SYS since it is the master userid and if you mess that up, you mess up all your homework. In a production encvironment, every access to SYS will be audited.
So, let's create a userid called me with (in 11g case sensitive) password 'myself'. Make sure that user is allow to log in (create session) and create a table.

If it did not work, try dropping the "@XE" to see whether you can get in (using the bequeath connection) which is useful for troubleshooting but will not help with the traditional SQLDeveloper connection. If you get in without the @XE (or whatever your alias is) but not with it, most likely either your listener is not up or your firewall is blocking the access to the listener.
