Hi everybody,
I just installed SQL developer and connected to my oracle DB but I am not able to see the tables..I can execute though any SQL statements...
I thought of installing Oracle Client but nothig changed... what could be the reason ???

What do you get by running:
with tabs as (
select t.*, rownum rn -- not merge
from sys.all_tables t
where owner = :SCHEMA
), objs as (
select o.*, rownum rn -- not merge
from sys.all_objects o
where owner = :SCHEMA
AND O.OBJECT_TYPE = 'TABLE'
AND O.GENERATED = 'N'
AND O.OBJECT_NAME NOT IN (SELECT OBJECT_NAME FROM RECYCLEBIN)
AND O.OBJECT_NAME NOT IN (SELECT MVIEW_NAME FROM SYS.ALL_MVIEWS WHERE :SCHEMA = OWNER)
     AND O.OBJECT_NAME NOT IN (SELECT QUEUE_TABLE from all_queue_tables WHERE :SCHEMA = OWNER)
     AND not ( object_name like 'AQ$_%_G'
or object_name like 'AQ$_%_H'
or object_name like 'AQ$_%_I'
or object_name like 'AQ$_%_S'
or object_name like 'AQ$_%_T' )
AND ( user = :SCHEMA or not object_name like 'BIN$%' ) -- user != :SCHEMA --> object_name not like 'BIN$%'
-- RECYCLEBIN is USER_RECYCLEBIN!
) select * from (
SELECT o.OBJECT_NAME, o.OBJECT_ID ,'' short_name, t.partitioned,t.iot_type, o.OWNER OBJECT_OWNER, o.CREATED, o.LAST_DDL_TIME
FROM OBJS O , tabs t
WHERE o.object_name = t.table_name
union all
SELECT OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_ID , syn.SYNONYM_NAME short_NAME,
t.partitioned,t.iot_type, SYN.TABLE_OWNER OBJECT_OWNER, o.CREATED, o.LAST_DDL_TIME
FROM sys.all_objects O, sys.user_synonyms syn,sys.all_tables t
WHERE syn.table_owner = o.owner
and syn.TABLE_NAME = o.object_NAME
and o.object_name = t.table_name
and :INCLUDE_SYNS = 1
and :SCHEMA = USER
This is the underlying query in the latest version 1.5.4 with update 2. So if that works, just install that version. If not, use it to investigate where it fails.
