Changed behaviour when handling Oracle Objects in SQL Developer 3.1

In version of SQL Developer before (and including) 3.0, when one executed - F5, run script, not F9, run query - a query that included an SDO_GEOMETRY (oracle object) object the object's elements where displayed in the output text form.
In SQL Developer 3.1 that has changed. Now, one only gets [MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY] as a placeholder.
Many spatial users prefer the former behaviour.
Has something changed in 3.1 that causes this?
Is there a way that I can get the previous behaviour back?
I program the GeoRaptor SQL Developer extension. GeoRaptor has an Addin that allows it to reformat SDO_GEOMETRY objects in a result set on the fly.
Does one need to do something similar now in SQL Developer 3.1?
If so, can you provide an example.
Finally, are there any plans to release Javadoc for the SQL Developer jar files that an extension developer needs to use when constructing an extension?
regards
Simon

Yes - there has been some history re SDO_GEOMETRY in particular.
See Gary Graham's reply in this thread
Re: Query result window doesn't show contents of collection types

There is some history behind this change. It started with a performance issue populating the grid for SDO_GEOMETRY objects:

Error when using Oracle Migration WorkBench (Sql Server 2k to Oracle 8i)

I'm trying to migrate a Sql Server 2k database to an Oracle 8i schema using OMWB. After using BCP to collect metadata information on the source database, I tried to capture the source data model and got a "Capture aborted" message on the progress screen (even though then it appears a dialog window reporting "0 errors and 0 warnings", funny!). Down there is the error log OMWB generated. After reading some posts, I changed some columns of the OMWB dictionary that holds the source database name, but still got the same error. If someone can enlighten me on this toppic, I'd greatly appreciated it.
Here's the error log of OMWB:

How do I migrate views from MS SQL 2008 to Oracle 11g through SQL Developer

Is there any way to migrate the views from MS SQL 2008 to Oracle 11g through SQL Developer? Please give me some detail steps. Thanks for your help.

Hi Turloch,
When I use migrate to oracle, I got a problem, the migrate tool create a new schema for me in my case (AZTECA_KSMMS), it migrates all the stuffs under that schema (AZTECA_KSMMS). However my application need the all the Oracle data under schema AZTECA instead of AZTECA_KSMMS. Is there any way to specify specific schema (AZTECA) for target oracle database? Schema remapping is available:
First Capture (separately) then during right click convert on the captured model there is a Specify the conversion options with a Object Naming tab where the schema (and other) name changes are editable.
I have not used this recently.
Also during the migration process, when I choose repository, there is a check box for truncate to reset repository to empty state, Do I need to check that truncate Check Box so the repository will be cleared from last migration?The repository can hold multple migration attempts. Check truncate to get rid of previous attempts information. This cleans up the repository - not the destination database.
There are also online database and offline database options during the migration process, what are the difference between these two choices? After I migrated to Oracle, all my views has a red cross icon next to it. Does that mean the view migration is failed or not? Please give me your comments. Thanks for your help.offline: for big (amount of data) databases with simple data types,
uses bcp + files + scripts + sqlldr.
online: for small (amount of data) databases (easier),
uses (Java) jdbc.
The view is likely to be broken - recompiling it may help.
The Oracle schema is created using a .sql file - see under generated in the directory you gave originally in the wizard. There is a .out file that contains the result of running this script including any errors. During conversion there are also likely to be warnings displayed on the UI.
There may be a single issue that is causing multiple issues - if viewa depends on functionb, and functionb is broken, viewa will also fail.

DB2 8.1 to Oracle 11g with SQL Developer 3.0

Hi,
I started migrating my DB2 8.1 to Oracle 11g, with SQL Developer 3.0
Basically, I need to migrate TABLES.
I followed these steps:
1) I created a new Oracle database, tablespaces, users, etc.
2) Then, I created both (DB2 and Oracle) connections into SQL Developer 3.0. All works fine.
3) I start capturing one table with the "Copy to Oracle" feature. Done with no errors.
But when I compare the table structure, I see the following problems in Oracle:
a) All fields are NULLABLE = YES. SQL Developer show this field property correctly in DB2: NULLABLE = NO, but not migrated the same!
SOLUTION: All I want is that SQL Developer simply migrating the same value who I have in the DB2. But how?
b) In DB2 I have one field property called COLUM DEFAULT. In Oracle this property is called DATA_DEFAULT. The SQL Developer show this field property correctly for the DB2 tables (for example: 0.0, ' ', etc), but don't migrated the same value! All fields are configured to DATA_DEFAULT = NULL.
SOLUTION: I think this occurs because NULLABLE is migrated with the value YES. Well, all I need is the same above...
NOTE: I tested the SWISSQL DATA MIGRATION software, and it works fine. All tables, field properties and data are migrated sucessfull. But this program is trial version!
Well, I think all of this are BUGS into SQL Developer.
Please, anyone to help me?
Regards,
Ylram

You listed a bunch of things but you didn't say what steps you actually performed and what the result was.
Did you 'Compile'the procedure? until you compile the procedure you can't debug it.
I just created a new procedure and when I select the body it displays in the 'Code' window on the right. But the 'Debug' icon is not enabled because the procedure was not compiled for debug.
When I compile it for debug the 'Debug' icon is now enabled.

No Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer OCP in June UK Training Leaflet?

Oracle have out of the kindness of it's heart :x (and desire to avail of bigdelboy's gbp ;\ ) sent bigdelboy an Oracle (UK/Eire) Training Courses June-October 2009.
This training course leaflet also references certifications.
Now interestingly there is no reference to the Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer Certified Professional on this :(
There is mention of the following 4 training courses wrt certs:
Oracle AS 10g : portal - build corporate portals
Oracle AS 10g : portal - build build portlets with PL/SQL
Oracle forms developer 10g: build internal applications
Oracle Reports Developer 10g: build reports
And looking at this bigdelboy also noticed ?:| .....
... to top it all, as of the time of this post the Oracle PL/SQL developer and forms Page currently at:
[http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=155]
seems to be showing incorrect info ...
It shows Advanced Pl/SQL developer OCP being obtainable by:
1z0-051(or friends)+1z0-147+1z0-144 (1z0-144 is not shown explicitly but the link points to it).
rather than what bigdelboy suspects is correct.
1z0-051(or friends)+1z0-144(or 1z0-147)+1z0-146
Anyway bigdelboy wonders if mediaguy has been a little slow on the announcements or has bigdelboy totally misunderstood :D

Hello, core Tech Delivery Manager for UK here - Claire
Noticed your comments re new printed schedule - just to say Dates here correct at going to print, but things change as we go.
For exmaple - We also have a new partner in Ireland who's training dates can be found on IE education website on http://education.oracle.com, not on printed schedule.
New dates and courses come out all year (new Oracle 11g Weblogic middle tier courses will be next to hit the shelves, followed by 11gR2 New Features for Administrators etc)...so it is always best to use Printed schedule as a guide only, and it should entice you to our UK website for OU, to check latest dates, locations and prices, most of which should match ok...but there will be a lot more on website. You can also call +0845 777 7711.
You are right the PLSQL OCP is not on the printed schedule - I am glad they have added this though - the exam is currently in Beta from what I understand, but regardless I took the decision given the limited amount of space and huge variety of middleware offerings, to include more learning paths such as Java Developer, Web Admin and App Developer (you will see APLS listed as a course there, and I ensured it was one of the main listed unfer the DB&Lang section.)
We now teach 11g version of Advanced PLSQL.
Forms , Reports and Portal still have Customer Demand in UK and IE hence their inclusion too - not all companies have upgraded to latest Oracle technology yet, which is why we still run a lot of 10g based DB courses in parallel to 11g - most customers plan to upgrade from 9i/10g straight to 11gR2.
Hence, it is wise to include courses that will sell, not just the latest courses ..which could alienate potential customers of OU !
You are totally right about the exams though - I notice it should be 1z0-051(or friends)+1z0-144(or 1z0-147)+1z0-146 as you say below, so I have emailed marketing et al to see if Global will change the website (which is centrally controlled from US).
Do let us know anything else you can report, Id be happy to help if I can...though I wont leave my phone number on here if that's ok!

Installing Oracle Database and SQL Developer

Hi, I was looking for some help/advice in regards to installing an Oracle Database and SQL Developer onto a Windows 7 32bit machine. I have been asked to create a database to store data that I create through reports in Excel so I am required to create a local database but not sure how to go about doing this. Also not sure if I install the Express Edition or Oracle Database 11g R2. If somebody could please advise on how I can get this started or even any links/tutorials that would guide me in how to get this installed with a localhost.
Thanks in advanc.

Thanks guys, I have managed to install Oracle 11gR2 and I have setup a database using the dbca tool and I can connect to my new database. One thing that I have noticed is that when i look into my tables in sql developer i see loads of different tables i.e. def$_, logmnr_, etc and I am not sure why this is as I expected an empty tablespace.
Thanks btw for all your help.
One of the key principles of relational databases is that they use their own facilities to manage themselves. That means the database management system uses the database to manage data about the database using exactly the same facilities (tablespaces, tables, user accounts, procedures, etc) that an application uses to keep data for the application. See "data dictionary" So there is no such thing as a completely empty database.
As said by others, you do NOT want to be creating your own tables under oracle's schemas (users) or in oracle's own tablespaces (esp. SYSTEM and SYSAUX). Create your own user account/schema. Create your own tablespace. Make that tablespace the default for that user.

Issue when connecting to database from SQL Developer tool

Hi,
I was trying to connect to a remote oracle database 10.2.0.5 (hosted at window 2008 R2 server) from my local SQL Developer tool.
When setting up connection in SQL Developer tool, I was able to connect to the database by selecting TNS (Network Allias).
However, it does not work when I choose Basic type with the same information (HOST, PORT, SID).
What is the difference between TNS and Basic setting option? Please advise and assist.
Thanks.
Regards,
Jia

Hi JimSmith,
Thanks for reply.
TNS entry as below:
ORCL_DB =
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 91.198.252.83)(PORT = 1521)) )
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = orcl) (SERVER = DEDICATED) ) )
It works fine if I choose TNS (Network Allias: ORCL_DB).
For the Basic setting:
Hostname = 91.198.252.83
Port = 1521
SID = orcl
The error I received when connecting to db based on Basic option is Failure -Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection.
Below are the entries of SQLnet.ora. Any entry should I add into sqlnet.ora?
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
Appreciate your comment.
Thanks.

Jia

satish.pWith the caveat (as already pointed out by Srini in this thread) that no Oracle product has ever been certified on any "home" edition of any version of Oracle ...
If I were looking to download any product, I'd start by going to that company's web site (like, www.oracle.com) and look for a tab or link called "download". I'll bet if you did that, you'd find all sorts of goodies.
But, again, since you are dealing with a "home" edition of Windows, you'll need to start by installing a virtual machine product -- VM Ware's "VMworkstation" or "VMplayer", or Oracle's VirtualBox. Then you can create a virtual machine running a supported OS. Oracle's own Linux (derived from Red Hat Linux) is also free.

Same icons for objects in SQL Developer as Data Modeler

Hello,
would it be possible to display the same icons for objects in SQL Developer as Data Modeler?
For example:
- in SQLD a session temporary table has the icon of a table with an X symbol, in Data Modeler it is just a table icon.
- in SQLD a materialized view has the icon of a table with 2 arrows, in data Modeler it is just a table icon.
Joop

Hi Joop,
I think you will find that in Data Modeler's Physical Model tree the same icons are used for temporary Tables and Materialized Views as in SQL Developer.

Weird behaviour when applying XLST in PL/SQL

I came across this strange behaviour when applying XSLT to an XML document. Below is a simplified version, based on some code that I found in OTN
declare
indoc VARCHAR2(2000);
xsldoc VARCHAR2(2000);
myParser dbms_xmlparser.Parser;
indomdoc dbms_xmldom.domdocument;
xsltdomdoc dbms_xmldom.domdocument;
xsl dbms_xslprocessor.stylesheet;
outdomdocf dbms_xmldom.domdocumentfragment;
outnode dbms_xmldom.domnode;
proc dbms_xslprocessor.processor;
buf varchar2(2000);
begin
indoc := '<emp><empno> 1</empno> <fname> robert </fname> <lname>

myParser := dbms_xmlparser.newParser;
dbms_xmlparser.parseBuffer(myParser, indoc);

dbms_xmldom.writetobuffer(outnode, buf);
dbms_output.put_line(buf);
end;
I would expect this to output two carriage returns and this is what I get with xsltproc on the Linux server. Instead, it outputs the entire source XML document without the tags, as shown below.

Now, if you change the definition of the CR variable to add some text, for example to

It outputs:

ORA-01722 when opening a package in SQL Developer 1.2 with oracle 9iR1

Hi,
I use SQL Developer with Oracle Database 9i release 1.
When I open a package in SQL Developer 1.2 (or 1.5) for editing, I receive the error ORA-01722. The package successfully opens but this message, which pops everytime, is really annoying.
I monitored the requests sent by SQL Developer and it seems that the following request is responsible of the error :
SELECT LINE,POSITION,TEXT,ATTRIBUTE FROM USER_ERRORS WHERE TYPE=:1AND NAME=:2
Notice there are no spaces between ':1' and 'AND'. When executing 'by hand' the request with SQL Developer, it asks for the value of '1AND' bind variable and the value of '2'. Then, it fails to execute with... ORA-01722.
Is it possible to avoid this bug ?
Thank you for your help.

We're doing rolling 2 week releases until production. Expect something new next week.

i can make ping well to the virtual machine.
using connection TNS: Status: Failure -Test failed. Required property 'hostname' is not set on the DatabaseProvider.
But i don't know where is the tnsnames file for sql developer.
i don't know if i have to install any JDBC for sqldeveloper.

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

Creating A New Oracle Database And Sql Developer

Hi,
I'm a newbie to Oracle and and a not so newbie to Sql Server and Visual Studio.
I am trying to learn Oracle on my local machine. I want to create a new Oracle Database and start learning from there.
I have downloaded sql developer, the data modeler, and the Oracle Client. Could someone please provide some guidance on how to create a Oracle Database?
From the responses, it appears that none of the items I mentioned actually creates a database. Sql Server provides a free download, also a developer version for a minimal fee. What specific Oracle product would be best to provide this type of service?
Thanks,
Mark

Edited by: user8948230 on Jan 7, 2010 9:50 AMIn addition to downloading and installing the database software to create a database, might I also suggest you start getting familiar with the documentation.
Learning where to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
Go to tahiti.oracle.com. Drill down to your product and version.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab you will find the complete documentation library.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
Do the same with the Utilities manual.
You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
After you have familiarized yourself with what is available, read the "2-Day DBA" manual to help get you started.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
- Look in your alert log and find all the non-default initialization parms listed at instance startup. Then read up on each one of them in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

"Copy to Oracle" issue in SQL Developer 3.0

Hi,
I am getting a recurring issue when trying to use the "Copy To Oracle" table feature in SQL Developer 3.0.04 (build MAIN-04.34).
When trying to move any table from a registered Sybase ASE database (12.5.3) to a test Oracle instance (11.2.0.2.0), I always receive the "Copy to Oracle finished" success window immediately, but also get the following message in the "Log" pane:
     Message:     “+Issue running BRIDGE command+”
     Source:     “+o.d.migration.copy.BridgeTableDef+”
The table does not get created on the Oracle instance.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Turloch,
The error seems to occur with all tables on any Sybase dataserver I have connected - most tables are quite simple (only simple datatypes etc.). Please find an example below:
Source table: sybdb.dbo.fetch
CREATE TABLE sybdb.dbo.fetch (
     f_id           numeric identity(18)      NOT NULL,
     s_id           numeric(18)           NOT NULL,
     added_date      datetime           NOT NULL,
     added_by      varchar(30)           NOT NULL
INSERT INTO sybdb.dbo.fetch(f_id, s_id, added_date, added_by) VALUES (1080, 2944, '2011-08-05 03:36:10.64', 'User A');
INSERT INTO sybdb.dbo.fetch(f_id, s_id, added_date, added_by) VALUES (1081, 2944, '2011-08-05 03:36:35.486', 'User B');
INSERT INTO sybdb.dbo.fetch(f_id, s_id, added_date, added_by) VALUES (1082, 2944, '2011-08-05 03:36:54.24', 'User C');
Target connection:     Connection to 11.2.0.2 database as a user with DBA role.
I get the following error reported in the "Logging Page" pane in SQL Developer
SEVERE     52     0     oracle.dbtools.migration.copy.BridgeTableDef     Issue running BRIDGE commandAppreciate you taking the time to look at this.
Many thanks,
Michael
