Database comparison option on SQL Developer

Is there a database comparison option available on SQL Developer? If yes, can you please help me with the usage? If not, is it expected in the subsequent releases?
Regards,
Krishnan

I'm hoping that we will eventually have 2. We are integrating the Oracle Migration Workbench and its ancillary tools into raptor and will have the ability to compare a readonly 3rd party db with the newly generated Oracle DB. The other thing we need as part of this is a schema comparator which will tell us the object differences in 2 schemas. Right now, this is very much on the wish list as we get into the next release.

New query for 'Manage Database' option in SQL Developer

Dear all,
I want to suggest a changed query for the 'Manage Database' option in SQL Developer (right-click on the connection), see the query below.
This query has the following changes;
- extra column with the Maximum disk space based on the datafiles (considering autoextend of datafiles); MAX_DATAFILES
- the PERCENT_USED and PCT_USED are based on the MAX_DATAFILES, as this is really important (and not the difference between ALLOCATED and USED)
- the results are shown in GB, as that is in my opinion more relevant in this time of data explosion
- rename of the column FREE to UNUSED_ALLOCATED, as this column identifies how much of the Allocated space is not used
I hope the query can replace the current one, to improve SQL Developer even more.
Thanks for the nice tool SQL Developer!
Kind regards,
Siebe

Very little technical information provided about the error.
"+IO error.+" - this likely refers to the client attempting to use a socket handle and the call to the handle failing.
+"The network adapter could not establish the connection.+" - this likely means that the IP address to connect to, could not be reached, or that the connection was not accepted on that port on the remote IP address. (typically hostname resolution errors would give a different error)
The easiest way to test connectivity is using the ping command to bounce an ICMP echo off the remote IP.
If that works, test access to remote port on that remote IP using the telnet command - this will check whether there is a service accepting connections on that port, and whether access to that port is allowed in case of firewalls en-route.

Avaibility of FTP option in SQL Developer

Hello,
Can any one please help me regarding the FTP option in SQL Developer.As this is avaibable in TOAD. Also let me the navigation if at all there (step in detail)
Thankyou for your help.

Similar thought,
In JDeveloper, there is support for 'External Tools.' I use this feature to do things like FTP and run builds on our servers with the tcl tool 'expect'. When file support becomes available, can the external tools feature be ported over to SQL Developer? That would provide many of us with an option for adding some missing features like FTP.

Sybase connection tab not showing in New connection option in SQL developer

Hi,
I do not see a Sybase connection tab in New connection option in SQL developer 2.1 where as it was available in ver 1.5
Why is that? how to fix it?

Hi,
Have you installed the JTDS JDBC driver yet into SQL Developer.
This is required before you get the connection tab for SQL Server and Sybase.
You can install the JTDS driver from the Check For Updates action.

Missing migration options in SQL Developer 3.1.07.42

I am using Oracle for the first time and so I downloaded Oracle Developer Days VM running in Virtual box. I need to migrate an SQL Server d/b into Oracle and so I started to use the SQL Developer application.
The VM contains the following:
Oracle Linux 5
Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise Edition
Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Cache
Oracle XML DB
Oracle SQL Developer
Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler
Oracle Application Express 4.1
Oracle JDeveloper
I have downloaded and installed the SQL server java connector and I can connect to my SQL Server database, I can also create connections to the Oracle d/b.
But, I cannot find the database migration menu options when using Oracle SQL Developer 3.1.07.42, the migration menu options do no appear on the Tools menu or when right clicking a database connction.
Can anyone explain why the migration menu option is missing or how I could test the migration some other way ?
Thanks

I have discovered that the migration facility is not included with the VM.
By opening the RPM for SQL Developer and copying the migration extensions into the SQL Developer folder, the migration menu options are now available.

TimesTen option in SQL developer tool.

I am running sql developer ( version 3.0.04) tool on my PC and I don't see an option for TimesTen. I don't see an option for Timesten, all I see is Oracle and access. Is there an extension that I need to download? or is this a wrong version ?

This version should be supported with TT from TimesTen 11.2.1.4.0 onwards. No extension is needed What version of TimesTen are you running it against? If you can locate the TimesTen install directory, run
<TT_install_dir>/bin/ttVersion
to check. The User's Guide is here:

because the message when i test connection always is filed and I'm sure i typing username and password and SID:orcl as i set when install database.port 1158 is what the dbcontrol (Oracle Enterprise Manager) is listening on. OEM is NOT the database. As far as the database is concerned, OEM is "just another client".
Actually, the database doesn't listen for requests on any port. There is another process, the "listener" that listens for requests to connect to the database. Typically, it listens on port 1521. You should have a tnsnames.ora file set up to resolve a connection request to the correct host. You can read more on this at http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/2011/02/09/sqlnet_overview/

SQL Developer 1.5.1 - Database Export - Exporting Column Comments

I have tried using the Database Export tool in SQL Developer 1.5.1 to export statements for "comment on column" but with no success. Is there a way to get these statements included in the DDL?

When you select 'table' the comments are generated 'automatically'.
This is what you want?

Oracle SQL Developer issue when using VPN (Cisco)

All,
We've got a somewhat obscure issue with SQL Developer connectivity to our databases from a remote employee's laptop.
The database is hosted inside our firewall and when the employee tries to connect to the database he receives the following error:
+"Error Encountered: An error was encountered performing the requested operation: The network adaptor could not establish the connection. Vendor Code 20"+
I believe I may have seen the following error at one point as well...
Status : Failure -Test failed: IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
Note: He gets this error when logged into our VPN & while he can connect via SQL*Plus to that same database. He gets the error regardless if he uses the tnsnames entry option in SQL Developer or if he is using the "Basic" connection type.
What's interesting is that if he disconnects from the VPN, turns off his wireless connectivity and then hard-wires into our network he can connect, no issue.
The strangest part for me is that while he can not connect to the database via SQL Developer, he can connect via SQL*Plus. He can ping the source IP address fine, he can tnsping the database no problem, he can connect via SQL*Plus, he just can't connect via SQL*Developer. Since SQL*Plus and tnsping are working, I know he can access the db server via port 1521, so I don't think it's a port issue.
Another strange thing: When he connects to our network via an "old" VPN (open VPN) he has no issues.
His machine is Windoz 64 bit (HP laptop) and he's using the latest version of SQL Developer and a newer JVM.
Also interesting: I also have a Windoz 64 bit laptop (Lenovo) and I do not have the same issues as he does. I however am running an older version of SQL Developer and probably an older JVM.
I dug around a bit, seems like perhaps this has something to do with IPv6? No idea what to do next except have my network guy look at firewall logs to try to capture where the connectivity is being dropped.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. I've tried all kinds of things (giving him my tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora file, manually editing those files, tried IP addresses instead of host names, tried host names with the .doman.org extensions, etc.).
Again, any suggestions would be appreciated and thank you very much.
Rich

Since SQLPlus is installed and works fine you could try to set
Tools -> Preferences -> Database -> Advanced -> Use OCI/Thick driverThis should enable SQLDeveloper to use the same oracle client SQLPlus is using to connect to the database.
Mind that by setting this option you need to have an 11g client (or instant client) installed that matches the ojdbc6.jar version used by SQLDeveloper, so if you are using an older client this may not be a usable solution.

SQL developer 3.0 - Few Query Builder issues

Hi All,
I have just started using SQL Developer 3.0 so have not fully browsed thru all of the available options in SQL Developer. I have been trying to work on creating and editing sql statements using Worksheet and Query Builder.
I am working on to test this tool so I can give it to the users for them to try and use it - they used to work on the old Query Builder 6.0.7....since it is already de-supported long back to work against 11g database, I am hoping to tell them to use SQL developer 3.0 instead.
Hence, if an user doesn't know how to write a sql statement, he/she would try to do the same using Query Builder.
So, the following questions are more aligned towards a normal user who would try to create a query in the Query Builder window, instead of directly typing a sql statement in the Worksheet window.
1) How to establish/create a relationship between tables after you have dragged down the tables into the Query Builder window? - i tried but couldn't get any options!.
2) Sometimes I see 'Connection closed' error when i try to run a query. How to refresh the connection without opening a new Connection tab?
- I tried this but evertytime it opens up a new connection tab, while the old tab is still present.
3) Columns in the Expression field in Query Builder window can ONLY be displayed in the result set, if the 'output' box on the extreme left of the 2nd section in Query Builder window is checked.
Now when i try to check the output box for an expression (with few aggregate functions), the 'Grouping' check box automatically gets checked, which when run throws an ORA-00934 error: group function is not allowed here...but when I de-select the 'Grouping' check box, the 'output' box also gets un-checked!.
How to solve this out?
Please let me know the resolutions of the above - much appreciated.
With Regards,
Pamir

Double quote encapsulated identifiers in sql developer 1.5.1

hello,
i migrated a mysql database to oracle using the sql developer 1.5.1 on linux. unfortunately i'm using some reserved words in my table name / columns. how is it possible to generate an import script that uses double quote encapsulated identifiers? in the migration workbench, there is an option named "Create ANSI-compilant names" which should do what i need, but i cannot find this option in sql developer.
thank you for your help. regards,
sebastian

I'm not sure what your question is; Did you migrate successfully? How do you generate an import script? What is failing? Can you provide an example?

SQL Developer & MySQL ??

I am unable to use the Tools->Database Export utility to do exports for MySQL databases the way I do it for oracle. In the 'Connection' option of the export wizard, only my oracle connections are enlisted.
Though I have a MySQL database server up and running and a connection to my database in it from SQL Developer exists and is active, I dont' understand why only my oracle database connections are enlisted in the 'Connection' option of the export wizard. Any Hints ???

Reports, Export Wizard and other features are not supported for non-Oracle databases. You can right-click on a data grid and export the data to file. SQL Developer is a GUI for Oracle databases, the connection to other non-Oracle databases is primarily and initially for migrating from these database to Oracle. We support browsing objects and ANSI SQL commands. We do plan to extend the support to non- Oracle databases, but our primary focus and priority remains Oracle.
