Cannot start SQL Developer

Hello,
I tried to run SQL Developer, but it doesn't come up (hangs at the splash screen).
When using the "console version" in jdev/bin I can see an exception in the console window:

I had a problem getting it to run in Ubuntu when launching from an XFCE launcher. Basically the file sqldeveloper doesn't work. What I did was to copy sqldeveloper to SQLDeveloper, change the ./ to the full path ( in my case /home/username/sqldeveloper/ ), then launch SQLDeveloper instead of sqldeveloper. Then it all worked fine.

Help with starting sql developer

Hi everyone
I have had oracle express and sql developer on my laptop before untill my hard drive went, now iv installed them again but when I start sql developer I make a new connection then go to create a new user, but when I click create new user, there is no list under the "Roles" tab as there should be, its just a blank grey screen. Has anyone had this problem before who might be able to help?
I am kind of in a rush because I need it for a college assesment on monday so any help will be really appreciated:)
Thanks
Ryan

Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you post you need to provide the full sql developer that you are using and all of the details about what you are doing and the problem you are having.
You haven't provided the version, what user you are connnecting as, what type of connection it is (normal, sysdba), the type of connection you are connecting as (thin, oci), the JDBC jar version if using one, the Oracle client or server versions.

How to start sql developer(1.1) on mac osx

After download and unzip it, just double-click the sqldeveloper icon, doesn't it?
But after i double-click it, there is an icon on the bottom for a while, very soon. then it disappears.
Any help will be highly apprecaited!!!

Hi
I've got the same error starting SQL Developer 1.1.2 on mac os 10.4.9. In my case this was because I've had a blank in the path.
I've initialy located my SQL Developer on a USB Stick with the name "no name" which was mounted on /Volumes/no name path to SQL Dev was /Volume/no name/oracle/sqldeveloper/......
After changing the name of the stick to noname the path has changed to /Volume/noname/oracle/sqldeveloper/.....
and then everything worked fine.
An other hint, If you copy sqldeveloper.sh into sqldeveloper.command you may start the Developer with a double click.
By the way, I'm using the multiplattform package of the SQL Developer and put it on a USB Stick. I'm now able to take one copy of SQL Developer and Configuration with me and start it on Mac OS and/or Windows.

It appears the SVN plug-in is giving you troubles, normally you should be able to disable it from
Tools -> Preferences -> Extensions -> Versioning SupportAssuming you do not need it.
Since your system is no longer starting you might have to manually remove the related jar file from the installation, this file is usually located in:
[SQLDev_install_dir]/jdev/extensionsand it's name is:
oracle.jdeveloper.subversion.jar

Small bug and fix starting SQL Developer on Mac OS X

I couldn't find anyone else mentioning this so I'll write it in.
If I started SQL Developer in one user I couldn't start it again in another user, even after quitting out of the first. I would double click the icon and it would do the animated "zoom" but then nothing.
I tracked it down to a problem in SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/MacOS/sqldeveloper.sh. When it redirects the output of the call to the start scipt in the /sqldeveloper/bin directory it would fail because the /tmp/sqldeveloper-startup.log was owned by the first user to start the App (since the /tmp was cleared anyway). My umask didn't give it permission to start overwriting that file.
To fix it I changed the last line in SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/MacOS/sqldeveloper.sh to:
bash ./sqldeveloper >/tmp/sqldeveloper-startup.$$.log
so that the PID was now part of the name and each initiation of SQL Developer would have its own.
You could also change the last line to:
bash ./sqldeveloper >$(mktemp /tmp/sqldeveloper-startup.log.XXXXX)
which would guarantee more uniqueness but wouldn't let you know which process was using the file.
Savvy Mac users can edit the script themselves by right-clicking on the SQLDeveloper.app and selecting "Show Package Contents". You may have to temporarily change the file permissions to let you edit it.
For the record I'm running SQL Developer 1.2.0 on a Mac TiBook G4 867MHz with Mac OS X 10.4.10 and 1Gb RAM (and it is still maddeningly slow because Java fundamentally sucks).
-Bion

Ok - I think I found it.
Go into ~/Library/Application Support/SQL Developer/system1.5.3.57.83/o.ide.11.1.1.0.22.49.44 (or similar for whatever version you're running) and edit the settings.xml file there.
Look for a block that looks like:
<Item class="oracle.javatools.util.Pair">
<first class="java.lang.String">delete-previous</first>
<second class="oracle.ide.keyboard.KeyStrokes">
<data>
<Item class="javax.swing.KeyStroke">[0]</Item>
</data>
</second>
</Item>
and change it to:
<Item class="oracle.javatools.util.Pair">
<first class="java.lang.String">delete-previous</first>
<second class="oracle.ide.keyboard.KeyStrokes">
<data>
<Item class="javax.swing.KeyStroke">[8]</Item>
</data>
</second>
</Item>
I'm not sure why, but this file seems to always contain the incorrect keystroke value when I do a fresh install of SQL Developer. I always have to go in and change that value by hand. I've tried choosing any number of the accelerator presets, but none of them make the delete key work.

MSVCR100.dll missing on your computer when starting SQL Developer

Hello,
I receive the error MSVCR100.dll is missing on your computer when I try to start SQL Developer.
I completed the following installations:
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- Oracle DB Express Edition
- Java JDK 1.7.0_02
When I now try to start SQL Developer I receive the error message that MSVRC100.dll is missing on my computer.
Does anybody experience the same problem and how can it be resolved.
Thanks
Bernd

Hi,
Not sure what happened to that link, but I as far as I know it should make absolutely no difference for security purposes if one chooses the latest Java 7 update or the the latest Java 6 update. I would guess both code lines are patched to same level.
Perhaps you are referring to recent press about vulnerabilities in Java 7 updates _06 and _07? Those issues only apply to browser plug-ins, totally unrelated to SQL Developer, and those can be disabled easily without removing Java.
The official recommendation is to use the latest Java 6 update (jdk1.6.0-35) for SQL Developer. We recommend avoiding Java 7 due to bugs, but bugs unrelated to security.

Gary

Problem starting SQL Developer

Hi,
i have a little bit confusing problem on a Virtual Machine.
I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 (32-bit) as a Virtual Machine. On this machine i have two different versions of the SQL Developer:
- SQL Developer 1.0.0.15.57
- SQL Developer 2.1.
When i try to start the sqldeveloper.exe for SQL Developer 2.1.1.64.39 i get the following error message:
Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item.
The funny thing is, when i start the SQL Developer 1.0.0.15.57 everything works fine.
Which permission need to be set that i can start the SQL Developer 2.1.1.64.39 or do anyone have other solutions for this problem?
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Greetings.
Edited by: user8950278 on 07.07.2010 09:46

First, try to run once as Administrator, this might create necessary associations.
If that didn't work, I'd say it might be related to the settings, which are now stored under the (hidden) Application Data of your Windows profile. See that you have permissions there.
You can also run from \sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.exe, to see if you get any exceptions or more info in the opened console.
Hope that helps,
K.

Problem when try to start SQL Developer

I have problem when I clicked to start the SQL Developer. It wants me to enter the full pathname for Java.exe. Could some one tell me what should I enter.

Thank you for your help. I don't have the C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_11\bin\java.exe in my machine.
I checked and found that the SQL Developer I have use Java 1.6.0_11 which is same as you have mentioned. I have the path
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" in my machine. When I enter this path, there is a message say Cannot find J2SE SDK installed at path.
Does this mean that I need to install java 1.6.0_11 ?

Problems Starting SQL developer

Hi Guys,
I'm new to using oracle through Lynx.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx.
I have installed Oracle 11g R1.
I have successfully installed oracle, created and connected to the DB. I have exported HR and OE schemas from a windows machine and imported to my Lynx based database successfully.
So Oracle is working correctly though SQLplus.
My problem is when I start using SQLDeveloper.
When I go to "/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/sqldeveloper"; and run the sqldeveloper.sh it seems to open fine, I see the GUI.
My problem is that we I try to create a new connection I am getting errors.
The GUI says: The network adaptor could not establish a connection.
Whereas the terminal states...

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Could you past output from
lsnrctl statusOracle can work fine via SQLPlus locally, but if services are not visible via listener you can't connect to database from client like SQLDeveloper.
Your GUI started so it's not a problem of your java - it's rather something missing in your database installation.

Below message makes me think you might as well need to repair your installation

Thank you in advance,

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
