Congrats to the Sql Developer Team! The Migration tool is SUPER

Just wanted to say "thank-you" for such a great tool. Last week, I was fighting a third party software / MS SQL 2000 database. Finally enough was enough, boot up Sql-Dev, migrated everything from MS SQL to oracle...extracted the data....baba boom baba bing..boss is happy!
Keep up the great work!

I know that the Spatial and Graph folks have an updated extension in the works for SQL Developer, but I can't speak about particular changes or updates. You could cross post to the Spatial forum as well
Spatial
As per your request for 'shared queries' for your students - I think that's a request independent of our Spatial support, yes?
Could you elaborate a bit on exactly what you'd like to see here?
Our Reports feature has a 'Shared Reports' interface that might get you what you want. There's also Code Templates and Code Snippets as well...

New "SQL Developer Team Announcements" sticky note

In the new SQL Developer Team Announcements sticky note posted a couple of days ago:
<li>Is "SQL Developer Team Announcements" the right title? It appears to be hard enough to get people to read these things anyway, and this suggests that it's either targetted at the SQL Developer Team, or contains information about them.
<li>The SQL Developer Exchange link for Enhancement Requests links to the sticky note, not the Exchange Feature Requests page.
<li>Suggest using "Forum Tips" or some other alternative instead of "Forum Etiquette": "etiquette" too obscure a term?
<li>"When asking a question, provide all the details that someone would need to answer it.": Can these be spelled out? e.g. SQL Developer version, DB version, Java version, OS etc.

Sue, thanks for the prompt attention.
3 sounds good: News, Posting Guidelines, and a FAQ for the rest? (sorry, I'd lump "collateral" in with "etiquette" as clarity goes).
A FAQ with Qs like:
<li>How do I report bugs?
<li>Where do I request enhancements?
<li>Where can I find extensions?
may be the best way to handle the "collateral" as it can retain the same (easily understood title) whilst being extendable to cover virtually anything.
As an example, I think Mark Drake has handled this well on the {forum:id=34} forum.

How 2 find the "Requests from the SQL Developer Exchange Included" in 2.1.1

Hi,
I would like to explore the new features from 2.1.1
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/files/BugsFixed_v211.html
But can not find them in:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42626:46
Where are they explained...?
Thanks, Juergen

Thanks K,
good hint with the filtering of the status...!
I was just wondering if you can find the ID's. When you scroll to the end on: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/files/BugsFixed_v211.html
there you find the section "Requests from the SQL Developer Exchange Included" with a lot of IDs...
8411043 : Commit confirmation
8755723 : Copy column name to clipboard (ctrl - shift- C)
8487257 : Do not use ora_rowscn (Request implemented using a preference)
but the filtering is good for me too...

Questions about the sql developer 2.1

first sorry for my poor english, I am very happy to see the sql developer 2.1.but here ,it has a very serious problem.
usually, I used to saving some common sql statements into a sql file. and when need to do something , I just need to open the file with oracle sql developer, and excute the sql statements.
but when I do this with sql developer 2.1, the excute sql button is not activated , the icon is gray ,so I can't excute any sql statement in the file, and I should open a new sql worksheep and type the sql statements to excute it. what's the matter?
thanks!

When opening a script, sqldev logically doesn't know under which connection you want to run the statements.
Just select the connection you want using the drop-down box in the upper right of the script tab's toolbar, and all buttons will get enabled.
Have fun,
K.

Login to SQL Developer as the SYS user for Getting Started tutorial

I went to try and do the following tutorial to learn about SQL Developer 3.0, but I cannot get started because I'm unable to perform Prerequisite #3.
How do I "Login to SQL Developer as the SYS user"?
Dave
Getting Started with Oracle SQL Developer 3.0
Prerequisites
Before starting this tutorial, you should:
1 .
Install Oracle SQL Developer 3.0 from OTN. Follow the readme instructions here.
2 .
Install Oracle Database 11g with the Sample schema.
3.
Unlock the HR user. Login to SQL Developer as the SYS user and execute the following command:
alter user hr identified by hr account unlock;
Note: This tutorial is developed using Oracle SQL Developer 3.0.
4 .
Download and unzip the files.zip to a local folder on your file system. In this tutorial, we use the C:\sqldev3.0 folder.

I installed XE. It asked me to set up a username and password during the install.
How do I login as the SYS user, though?
There is a Connection Name, Username, and Password field when I try to set up a connection in SQL Developer, and I used the username and password I made during the install. I clicked the Test button to test the connection.
I see "Status: Failure -Test failed: ORA-28009: connection as SYS should be as SYSDBA or SYSOPER".
How do I tell SQL Developer "as SYSDBA or SYSOPER"?
Sorry, this is probably easy, and I'm just clueless about it.

A few questions to the abap development team...

Dear Developers,
I am submitting these questions to the ABAP development team at SAP regarding the language capabilities.
Coming from the Java/C world I am wondering if you plan the following possible "evolutions" of the ABAP language :
   - a real boolean implementation in ABAP like in Java or C; possibly a OO class implementation with full operators;
   -> the possibilty to write conditionnal expressions or assignements like the followings :
   x = ( a and not b).
   if (x or f(x)=false) then ...
   - possibility in ABAP to nest function calls on objects like in most every OO language (java, c++, ruby...etc ) : x = a.b().c()
- Concerning the ABAP editor :
     - fixing the problem with the drag n drop problem from the class browser to the source editor of long method+class/interface names
     - real code completion on objects (no heuristic approach) by providing access to method or attribute names like in most OO IDEs
Any info could be interesting
Best Regards,
Olivier MATT

now that could be really interesting if you'd just tell us the questions!
Edit: questions have been added

Where is the SQL Developer download for Linux

Can some one help provide a URL link to download the SQL Developer for Linux? The official link on the Oracle Website is pointing the Windows zip instead.
Many thanks!

The link is correct. The files are the same for linux and windows when the jre is not bundled.

SQL Developer in the cloud environment

Hi,
I installed SQL developer as an Administrator in the cloud environment and it is working fine. I also have an user and granted Administrator privs to him ,a nd copied the SQL developer exe to his desktop, but when he runs it SQL developer does not even open, how to fix it?

ssk1974 wrote:
What "cloud environment"?
-- I think it is Rack Space, but not sure.
O/S?
-- WIndows 7
How on earth is this cloud based? You physically copying an executable from a server to a client machine is NOT what cloud computing is about. There is NOTHING cloud-like about it. This is STANDARD copy-software, install-software-on-client and execute-software-on-client approach. This is not SAAS.
-- Might as well be not a cloud computing thing, but my scenario is SQL developer is installed in the Administrator space and when logged in etc., i works fine there. When the same exe is copied to an user with admin rights he is not able to open the application. My goal is, so the user also is able to run SQL developer remotely logging in and run it. He is also running Windows 7.
Or lacks the proper JDK/JRE on the client to run.
-- This could be closer to solving the issue, in the user space we do not have JDK/JRE installed, so do we have to install JDK/JRE in the user login space as well? My initial thought was since I copied the exe from teh admin to the user, he should be automatically able to do the same stuff as admin.Basic prinicple of computing. Not all .exe files are standalone executable. Some require 'other libraries' to run.

Logging/viewing SQL statements generated by the SQL Developer IDE?

I know it is possible to view the SQL statements that the SQL Developer IDE generates to fetch result-sets from the database whenever one performs any action - say expanding the "Tables" node for a database, for example. I would appreciate if someone could point out how this functionality could be enabled.
Thanks,
RG

In 1.0, you could use the AddVMOption -Daudit.trace=db_api option inside the sqldeveloper.conf file.
In 1.1 however, I don't get output inside the console anymore (for expanding trees, etc.).
Kris, has this option been replaced by another one? Please let us in on all the fun ;-)

30EA1: 2nd instance of the sql developer delivers no query results

Hi,
the first instance works like expected, the 2nd one doesn't delivers any result in queries and in the Messages i found that Error:
SEVERE 43 0 Error while registering Oracle JDBC Diagnosability MBean.
best regards
Werner

hi,
well - the main reasons have been already discussed; another intresting one
(i don't know if somebody else was already running into it): sometimes i start e.g. a long running pl-sql block in the window
Then i go back to e.g. the code editor to take a look on another part of the code which i want to edit - then the sql developer freezes
(i think because something is executed through the main connection - and unfortunatly the main session is already executing something)
When the pl-sql block is finished i can use the sql developer instance again; but in the meantime i need another instance
in my regular work i use 3-4 instances of the sql developer
(like mentioned above - to prevent myself by modifying the productive db during i am working on the
development one in the same schemas, to work on another topic which a customer asked me without loosing my old work or because a window freezed)
Here an idea (i know - maybe it is dirty) - the sql developer could open always 2 connections - one for the communication of the tool to the database (which can't be used by a window)
and one for the window (sure - i am aware that i can open an unshared connection window, but sometimes i just forget to do that)
Another benefit of that: currently a lot of statements are sent through the connection - if i want to trace something i have to do it in the sqlplus because these statements are messing up my trace
however - i took a look into the new version and i am quite impressed, a lot of new cool features
best regards
Werner

Numeration of releases of the SQL Developer

Why the updates of the SQL Developer are jumping as many numerations (# 1184 - #1215 - # 1343)?
Our developers until can use releases internal with 'pierced' sequence, but releases of our products that are set free possesss correct sequence.

These numbers correspond to our internal builds, so we are on our 1,343 build. The actual product version is:
1.0.0.13.43
I agree it would be easier to deal with 1.0.0.1, 1.0.0.2, etc. We will see what we can do.

Connection with SQL Server 2000 to SQL Developer 1.2 Migration Workbench

Hi all,
I keep getting the following error with setup for SQL Developer 1.2 Migration Workbench connection to SQL Server 2000 database:
"Status: Failure -Network error IOException: Connection refused:connect"
I can access the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database with username
and password using Enteprise Manager. However for some odd
reason the Oracle SQL Developer 1.2 cannot connect to it.

I was having this problem too. I'll mangle this explanation, but Our SQLServer instance was on a local server with some named DNS something. So, to get to the server, we used theservername.outdomain instead of an IP. We could never get it to connect through the named server. We got an SQLServer instance going on a server that we could connect to through a regular IP, and it connected just fine.
Also, are you using the JTDS driver, or microsofts driver? We have only been able to connect with the JTDS driver. http://jtds.sourceforge.net/

I am trying to have access tables of the Sql Server through the Oracle

I am trying to have access tables of the Sql Server through the Oracle and this being occurred the error:

Please they help me, thanks, Paulo.

Hi,
It seems that your configuration is Ok. By the way, the workaround for this error is:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Transparent gateway for ODBC][H001] The environment variable <HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO> is not set.
* Set HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO in the hs{sid}init.ora file to the data source name.
Example: HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = <ODBC DataSource Name>
* Make sure the hs{sid}init.ora file exists in the ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin directory and has the same name as the SID in the LISTENER.ORA.
Example: If SID=hsodbc in the listener.ora file, then the hs{sid}init.ora file would be named ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin/inithsodbc.ora
For more information see if this [url http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?forumID=61&threadID=576975]thread can help you.
Cheers

How can i pass the Input value to the sql file in the korn shell ??

Hi,
How can i pass the Input value to the sql file in the korn shell ??
I have to pass the 4 different values to the sql file and each time i pass the value it has to generate the txt file for that value like wise it has to generate the 4 files at each run.
can any one help me out.
Raja

Can you please more elaberate., perhaps you should more elaberate.
sqlplus is a program. you start it from the korn shell. when it's finished, processing control returns to the korn shell. the korn shell and sqlplus do not communicate back and forth.
so "spool the output from .sql file to some txt file from k shell, while passing the input parameters to the sql file from korn shell" makes no sense.

Congrats to the Sql Developer Team! The Migration tool is SUPER
