Cant't submit plsql scripts with sql developer

could you help me please ?
thanks.

Looks like a straight permissions issue. Can you select from tables? Do you have Connect access? Can you paste that script into SQL*Plus as the same user and create the table there?

Can I new a script in SQL Developer?

I select "new", but the SQL File is grey. My version is 1.0.14.67, OS is Windowxp
Thx

I think that you may have an unpatched version or a bad copy.
Try a clean install or checking for updates in your current version.

NullPointerException when opening a script in SQL Developer 4.0.0.12

I recently upgraded to SQL Developer v.4.0.0.12 64 bit, and am running into some issues.
I am running this on 64 bit Windows 7. I have a 64 bit Oracle 11, and in addition have the 32 bit oracle client installed.
I made an association between the .sql file extension and sqldeveloper64W.exe.
However I frequently get a nullpointerexception when clicking on a script in the file explorer.
It seems to occur mostly if I loaded scripts into SQL Developer before.
If I close all the windows before closing SQL Developer and then click on a script in the file manager, things work (startup is arguably slower than v.3).
But in most cases either nothing happens, or I get the NullPointerException below.
What am I doing wrong?
Regards,
Wim

HOW TO : Writing simple scripts in SQL Developer??

Here is a simple script I run in SQL*Plus...
the first SQL prints the QCSID, the second script prompts for a SID which is the QCSID from the first SQL... once provided it gives me the output I want...
I just cannot do this in SQL DEVELOPER..... or Can I?
select distinct qcsid from v$px_session;
select sid,serial#,qcsid,qcserial#,degree,req_degree from v$px_session
where qcsid in (select qcsid from v$px_session where sid='&sid');

Ganesh,
Simple substitution and defines work in SQL Developer scripts.
I think the problem with running your script is that the first query results are not displayed before the window asking for the '&sid' value. That is the output to the 'screen output' tab is buffered and not synchronized with additional pop up (or dialog) windows. Is that correct?
Currently:
You can use substitution variables in the f5 'Run Script' but no bind variables.
You can use bind variables in the f9 'Execute Statement' but no substitution statements.
You can use anonymous PLSQL blocks, and packaged functions and procedures, so you can store per session state in PLSQL packages.

Can't see package body in SQL Developer version 3.1

Hello,
Have been scouring the boards and google for this issue for quite some time now. I think I have discovered the issue, but would like to see if a work around exists.
Problem:
I am unable to view packages, procs, VIEW DDl, etc. of other users. When a colleague of mine uses Toad, with the EXACT same connection ID and setting, they are in fact able to see all the source code...
What I've found:
Looking around, apparently Toad and SQL Dev work in different ways. Toad apparently uses DBA_SOURCE and DBA_OBJECTS to generate everything.
SQL Dev uses the META_DATA package to retrieve everything. Further, in order to use the meta_data package, I need the grant catalog role, or something like that.
Is there a way to set up SQL Developer to use the same method as Toad to retrieve the code? It's a fact that I WILL NOT receive the catalog permission per the DBAs... I can write out the
select text from DBA_SOURCE where OWNER = 'OWNER' and NAME = 'OBJECT NAME';
But, I would prefer to just be able to use the tree nodes and click on objects to generate all this. Anyone know of any setting for this?

Hi,
No doubt SQL Developer wants to be competitive with Toad but, in terms of raising red flags over inconsistencies in basic functionality, any difference versus SQL*Plus would be more surprising than versus Toad.
DBA_SOURCE and DBA_OBJECTS are public synonyms available in any standard Oracle installation, but you also need the SELECT ANY DICTIONARY privilege to get maximum benefit from them. That lets you view code in another user's schema without having an explicit privilege (like EXECUTE) on a package/procedure/function.
If you already do have such privileges (either SELECT ANY DICTIONARY, or EXECUTE or DEBUG on specific executable objects), and the Code tab is empty, then you will need to provide a test case, as Vadim indicates.
In terms of any case where SQL Developer utilizes DBMS_METADATA, my understanding is the API relies on the SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE privilege if a user does not own or otherwise have an explicitly granted privilege on an object. Developers like to use this API wherever possible in place of writing a script that might break or need maintenance to deal with future versions of the Oracle database.
I have no idea how Toad works, and I probably shouldn't speculate, but here is one scenario that could explain the case you mention without the connection user having any of the privileges noted above. Let's say the Toad client software calls a PL/SQL package that selects from DBA_SOURCE and is installed in a schema that has the SELECT ANY DICTIONARY privilege. All Toad users are granted EXECUTE on this package and therefore inherit SELECT ANY DICTIONARY in the context of running the package. This will work, but at the price of complicating installation of Toad. Also, it doesn't afford an administrator fine-grained control over metadata security.

Extracting Script from sql developer

I have to extract the script of 25 tables from a database including all its objects.How can i do this using sql developer using any script

You can try this : But you have to write DBMS_METADATA.get_ddl 25 times as cols and give alias to them
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.get_ddl ('TABLE', 'TABLE_NAME') t1,
DBMS_METADATA.get_ddl ('TABLE', 'TABLE_NAME') t2
FROM DUAL;
Lets see what others suggests .. But this will get your CREATE scripts as well as will get to know as which objects being used in tables.

Can't save a connection on SQL Developer 1.5

I just installed SQL Dev 1.5. The first time I run it all was fine. The second time it was giving me severe errors.
The first one was 'failed to create naming Context for db connections at url: file:/C:/Documents and Settings/thatzi/Application Data/SQL Developer/system1.5.0.53.38/o.jdeveloper.db.connection.11.1.1.0.22.49.35/connections.xml'.
The second one was 'DatabaseConnections has no JNDI context so cannot list connections.'
After I deleted the 'C:/Documents and Settings/thatzi/Application Data/SQL Developer' directory I was able to run the app one more time, but had the same problem next time I run the app.
There must be a way to fix this. Can anybody help?

I can save new connections to my existing connections.xml file, and I can save to a new connections file. I just can't save existing connections.
I looked at the xml for the old version, and compared to the new version, and they are quite different. I tried deleting the system1.5.1.54.40\o.jdeveloper.db.connection.11.1.1.0.22.49.35 directory, so it would ask me about migrating old settings again, and this time I selected the directory for the previous version, 1.5.0.53.38. The connections weren't migrated. Apparently I can't save the existing connections because the old connections.xml format is not valid. How can I migrate/convert my old connections file to work in the new version. For all I know, this could have been an existing problem from when I converted from 1.2. This is just the first time I've had an occasion to change connection info, so I might be using a connections.xml file from 1.2.
Here is one of my connection xml configs that I am unable to update:

Default path for scripts within SQL Developer version 3.2.20.09.87

I have SQL Developer version 3.2.20.09.87 and needed to know if the 'Set default path to look for scripts' be a UNC path?
Thanks

I hadn't tried it but now I did and it worked.
I also tried setting the Utilities Export default file location to a UNC path and I was able to set it but when I try to go to it via the 'browse' button, it doesnt go to it. It does, however, use it when I export.
Also when I do File > Open, I'm not able to navigate to UNC paths via the 'Home' or 'Desktop' buttons on the left hand side of the window and am not able to navigate to a network location from the 'Locations' box.
Any ideas? I am on Windows 7.
Thanks

Can't see package body in SQL Developer version 2.1.1.64

When I go to the object browser, I can see all of the package specs but can't seem to get to the package body. I can access the package body just fine through Toad, so I don't think it is an Oracle user issue. Help?

I can see any user's Package Body when I'm logged into the database as a DBA, so it must be some privilege that you need. The privilege I would have guessed you need is SELECT ANY DICTIONARY but you say you have that privilege. If you were granted that privilege through a role, make sure that the role is active, or that it is a default role.
Another role it might be looking for is EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE, but I'm not sure. See if you can do these selects, since these are probably the views that SQL Developer is using:
select * from dba_objects where owner = 'some owner' and object_type = 'PACKAGE BODY';
select * from dba_source where owner = ' some owner' and type = 'PACKAGE BODY';Of course, if your database administrator is willing to grant you the DBA role, that ought to do the trick - works for me. Otherwise, you and your DBA may have to try different system privileges until you find the one that works.

How i can deal with DB schema in SQL developer ?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post , how i can make sql developer just to show one schema ?
Thanks

What the Natalka wanted to say is so that the
hardwired user does not visualize none another user
when clicar in the option 'Other Users'.
For this, you must clicar with the right button of
mouse on the option 'Other Users', 'Apply Filter' and
to move for the panel of the left all the users who
you do not want that they are visualized.
It is not this what you want? If possible, detail
more its request.
Remembering that each user in the Oracle is
corresponding to one schema.by the way, how can I create tables in sql developer if I don't see the one I have already created thanks

The connection export function it's available in 2.1.1.64, you need to right click on the main Connections node, and it will allow you to export all or part of the current connections, or import from a previously exported file.
As for the highlight statement feature it's available in SQLDeveloper; actually you do not even have to highlight the required statement, as long as you take the habit of ending every statement with a ";", in this case you only need to place the caret inside the statement and SQLDeveloper will automatically highlight it for you (if you want to manually highlight a statement you can still do so without problems).
Finally as a last try to solve your connection problem without having to call for network support you could try to check
Preferences -> Database -> Advanced -> Use OCI/Thick DriverThis will force SQLDeveloper to use your oracle client for connections instead of it's native JDBC based connections (even if you use TNS based connections you will still use JDBC unless you have this checked).
As for other graphical tools for Oracle there are many both free or for a price.
1) In the for price world Toad stands out, i heard of a free option too but I'm not sure of the limitations.
2) For free you can use DBVisualizer which is fairly good (never used it too much thou).
3) Finally there is SQuirreL which is both free and open source but it has fairly basic functionality compared to the two above.
Obviously there are many others, but IMHO few will provide you with the same functions of SQLDeveloper or Toad for Oracle databases
