Database Diff - Identical package bodies are reported as different
SQLDeveloper - Version 3.2.10.09
Package bodies (DDL) on both source and destination database are identical but package body on the source database is marked as "invalid" and package body on destination database is marked as "valid" - then Database Diff reports that package bodies different. (but on panel showing DDL for both compared package bodies there is visible no difference).
After compiling package body on the source database (no changes in DDL) and when status of that package body changed to "valid" - now Database Diff correctly shows no difference.
Is that intentional behavior or bug?

According to the CM team, in the previous (pre-MDAPI) incarnation of CM, status was not compared, and got complaints about that.

Point taken. Though it seems these days whichever path you take you will get complaints. ;)

It would be possible to provide the option whether to compare status of objects that have status (PL/SQL objects, triggers, views, indexes) provided MDAPI reports the status, but it's a fairly hefty enhancement.

I take that to mean that the results do now, and will continue to, take status into account.
Perhaps my experience is using the functionality differently than what your team is working with.
I make heavy use of the DBMS_METADATA and DBMS_METADATA_DIFF packages. Much of that functionality operates on CLOBS containing data in either the raw XML or the SXML format.
So, to me, an XML in a CLOB has no status. So in comparing XML1 in CLOB1 to XML2 in CLOB2 the status that MIGHT have existed on the real object in the real database is irrelevant. I do comparisons between what is in version control and what is from some other source. That other source might have been, or might still be, an object in a database but status is meaningless since DDL in version control has no status. That is why, for my use cases, I wouldn't want to see a comparison fail due to a status issue.

85 DBMS_METADATA_DIFF
The DBMS_METADATA_DIFF package contains the interfaces for comparing two metadata documents in SXML format. The result of the comparison is an SXML difference document. This document can be converted to other formats using the DBMS_METADATA submit interface and the CONVERT API.

That is the basis for the comments I was making; that METADATA doesn't necessarily represent an actual object in an actual database.
Thanks for the links; I will add my vote there.

3.1EA1: Database Diff Package Body
I've had some problems when comparing package bodies.
1. Sometimes two or more lines in package bodies are combined into one in the DDL and script tabs of the comparison pane in the difference report.
2. Sometimes differences in package bodies are missed completely. When this happens, the package body text shown in both sides of the DDL tab of the comparison pane are from the same connection.
RodneyTurns out the consequences of the first problem (merging lines) I mentioned can be severe. The problem occurs when a line ends with a single quotation mark as in the following contrived example.
CREATE PACKAGE b AS END;
CREATE PACKAGE BODY b AS
v --'
INTEGER --'
:= --'
1; --'
END;
/The difference process produces the following:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY "B" AS
v --' INTEGER --' := --' 1; --'END;/That ends up in the final script as well which means the script will fail upon execution.

Database Diff - One column and triggers won't fall off report
I'm trying to use the database diff tool (which I LOVE, by the way), and I'm getting just a few odd results. I'm comparing two databases and can never seem to get to where the diff report is empty, even though everything is the same. No matter what I do, it lists one column in a table as different and lists ALL 13 triggers in the database as different. I have tried dropping the table and all triggers in question and having the diff scripts recreate them, but when I try a diff again, they keep showing up as different somehow.
Also, the diff script is generating this as code to modify the column:
alter table "USERS" modify ( "UPID" NVARCHAR2 );
Which I don't think is valid syntax - I get "Missing left parentheses." I think it's because it doesn't like specifying the NVARCHAR2 type without a size. If I change that statement to NVARCHAR2(20), then the statement runs. However, as I said before, it still shows up in the diff report later on as if something is different, even though both databases are exactly the same.
I'm using SQL Developer 2.1.1.64 on Windows XP Pro. Database is 10g.Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

When using "Database diff" selecting other schemas only for compare own objects are shown too!Hi!
For tables with lob columns (clob, blob, etc.) indexes with system names are automatically created per lob column.
If I am on different database instances (eg. dev/test) these system names can differ and are shown as differences, but these is a false positive.
Unfortunately there is now way to influence the index names.
Any chance to fix this in sql developer?
Best regards
TorstenOnly the Sql Dev team can respond to that question.
Such indexes should ONLY be created by Oracle and should NOT be part of any DDL that you, the user, maintains outside the database since they will be created by Oracle when the table is created and will be named at that time.
It is up to the Sql Dev team to decide whether to deal with that issue and how to deal with it. -
Invoke oracle report 10g from database pl/sql package
Hi
Is there a way that i can invoke an oracle report 10g from the database pl/sql package? I am working on a requirement that needs to generate a report when one of the criteria is not met.
Please suggest me on this.Thanks for the info.
I have a scenario where i need to fetch members details like name , email address and so on from the mainframes on the oracle database. Then on the oracle database i need to check if they have a email address or not. If yes then i need to generate a notice and mail it to them. If they don't have an email address, i'll have to print that out in a some centralized location.
By the way, the notice was developed using oracle reports 10g.
Now i am developing a pl/sql package which will do the address validation but i didn't know how to call a oracle report to generate the notice in pl/sql procedure.
As suggested i will try with dbms scheduler and see if that works for me. -
Where are Javascript Handlers in PL/SLQ Package for Forms/Reports
Where do i find javascript event handlers in pl/sql package for a report/form? I created some javascript code for onclick in my form button using portal form
builder wizard. When i bring up the pl/sql code for that form, i can't find the javascript that added. Where can i find it? Also which package contains the following procedures used by forms:
onINSERT
onUPDATE
onDELETE
onQUERY
The javascript i'm talking about is when i create a form using the forw wizard provided by Portal for DB providers. I would like access to the javascript code
from the pl/sql side of the form, b/c there are some pl/sql variables p_arg_names, p_arg_values, p_session that i need to use w/ the javascript for the event handles for button clicks on the buttons on my forms. where can I access the javascript of this form? I can the pl/sql of most of the form, namely, the package of the form. but i do not see anywhere in the package the
javascript that i add in the wizard for the onclick event.That's what i want to know too.
You know what their response was to me? they fwd'd my tar to their internal dev group. been waiting for a week now for a response from them. will keep you posted.. -
I'm using the 3.1 EA1 of SQL Developer and when I'm trying to run the Database diff I ran into the following questions:
1. When using the database diff, is there a way to ignore differences in comment, from a procedure/function/package?
2. The database diff detects a difference when using special character like é ï etc inside the pl/sql code. Do I have to change something to the environment, like character settings or something? The database are identical and when browsing the procedure/function/package in both the databases I see no difference. Both database contain the special characters inside the procedure/function/package.There are no NLS differences between the two databases, they have both the same settings.
NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P9
NLS_COMP BINARY
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS BYTE
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
I ran the same report(National Language Support Parameters) for both databases and they have the same values.
I created a procedure called test_special_characters with some special characters inside comments:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST_SPECIAL_CHARACTERS AS
BEGIN
-- this is a test of éëîï
NULL;
END TEST_SPECIAL_CHARACTERS;
In the Diff report I see the following:
From the first database:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "MARKS"."TEST_SPECIAL_CHARACTERS" AS
BEGIN
-- this is a test of éëîï
NULL;
END TEST_SPECIAL_CHARACTERS;/
And form the second database
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "MARKS"."TEST_SPECIAL_CHARACTERS" AS
BEGIN
-- this is a test of éëîï
NULL;
END TEST_SPECIAL_CHARACTERS;/
When checking the procedures inside the connection navigator both show:
create or replace
PROCEDURE TEST_SPECIAL_CHARACTERS AS
BEGIN
-- this is a test of éëîï
NULL;
END TEST_SPECIAL_CHARACTERS;

Database Diff script creates redundant indexes and fails
In Version 4.1.0.18, I create a table such that the primary key constraint and unique index have the same name:
CREATE TABLE "MY_TABLE"
( "CORP_ID" CHAR(2 BYTE),
"COMPANY_ID" NUMBER(5,0),
CONSTRAINT "PK_MY_TABLE" PRIMARY KEY ("CORP_ID", "COMPANY_ID") ENABLE
The DDL export of this table yields a different approach but the same end results:
CREATE TABLE "MY_TABLE"
( "CORP_ID" CHAR(2 BYTE),
"COMPANY_ID" NUMBER(5,0)
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "PK_MY_TABLE" ON "MY_TABLE" ("CORP_ID", "COMPANY_ID");
ALTER TABLE "MY_TABLE" ADD CONSTRAINT "PK_MY_TABLE" PRIMARY KEY ("CORP_ID", "COMPANY_ID") ENABLE;
Perfectly fine - no issue there.
But if I do a complete Database Diff (all object types) and the target database is missing the table, the resulting script uses a combined approach:
CREATE TABLE "MY_TABLE"
( "CORP_ID" CHAR(2) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"GL_ACCOUNT" VARCHAR2(16),
CONSTRAINT "PK_MY_TABLE" PRIMARY KEY ("CORP_ID","COMPANY_ID") ENABLE
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ."PK_MY_TABLE" ON "MY_TABLE" ("CORP_ID","COMPANY_ID");
In this script, the CREATE TABLE will correctly create both the constraint and index. Therefore the CREATE INDEX fails because the index already exists.In this script, the CREATE TABLE will correctly create both the constraint and index. Therefore the CREATE INDEX fails because the index already exists.
Can't help you beyond saying that is a bug since the DIFF should NOT do both of those.
Someone from the sql dev team will need to tell you if the bug is in sql dev or the package sql dev is using to do the diff.
Can you open the log window and review the SQL being generated/executed by sql dev?
Sql Dev is likely using the DBMS_METADATA_DIFF package to generate the diff:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e40758/d_metadiff.htm
If they are using it correctly but you get that error then it is an Oracle DB bug that needs to be filed.
If sql dev is using the package incorrectly then sql dev has a bug and the team can address that.
Sorry I can't help you more. -
SQL Dev 3.0.04 Database Diff on Tables ignores Enabled/Disabled flag. Bug?
Hello everyone,
it seems like SQLDeveloper Ver. 3.0.0.4 Tools -> Database Diff ignores ENABLED/DISABLED flag when comparing tables. Namely, two tables (in two schemas) were reported identical although a foreign key constraint was enabled in one schema and disabled in the other schema.
Am I missing something or is this indeed a bug?
Many thanks,

Database Diff Wizard Tool problem
Using Oracle SQL Developer 1.5.1 Build 5440.
Third Party Extension jtds-1.1.2.jar
I'm trying to determine if the Database Diff Wizard Tool contains functionality to allow/support diff compares between objects found in an Oracle Db instance and objects found in a MSSQL 2005 Db instance? I've established successful connections to each of the Db instances and can open/browse each one via the Connections browser. If compares between Oracle and MSSQL Db objects (vs. Oracle-to-Oracle only) are supported I must not have something configured correctly. Upon opening the Diff Wizard, (Tools --> Database Diff) and clicking on either the Source Connection or Destination Connection drop-downs only my Oracle Db connected instances are listed for selection. Could someone with experience using the Diff Wizard Tool offer assistance? (Provided SQL Developer supports this function).
Thanks!Folks,
I'm trying to compare two tables using Oracle SQL Developer, but I'm not being successful. :-(
The tables are the same, but they are placed in two differente environments: development and production.
Every time we need to make changes, we do it firstly at development environment. And I need to know which differences don't exist yet in production environment.
Everytime I try to compare tables, I always receive a diff report with just one difference, like below:
Type | Owner | Name | Change | Diff Count
Table SINFA Artesao CREATE 1
And in the the details window, there's the DDL of the table (source connection).
Does someone have any idea of what's the problem?
Thanks,
Auler. -

ThanksHi,
I was also facing similar problem when I applied packages from the code line to local DB.
You can try to first compile first the package specification and then compile the package body again.
If still you get the error : PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored, this means that the package specification and the package body are not in sync (either one of them is an older version). In that case you need to check from the version control of these.

BIG PROBLEM: sqldeveloper package error "not reported"
I am editing oracle database packages. Syntax error are reported, but for example I forget to declare a cursor ... but I am using it ... no error is reported (compiled with warning - but warning still exists in other place of code)
But calling it ... the database says that the object has errors! If I refresh I see the
package is in error ... but no error line are displayed :-(
This behaviour still exist in more version, I have today downloaded the latest version and the problem still exist!
Please fix this as soon as possible!Does the suggestion provided in this thread (compile with many warnings causes compiler dont show errors correctly reduce the number of warnings displayed and then display your error?

These errors started occuring when we had to refersh BO Universes after some of the BEX queries changed. We even asked users to stop using the excel files on which they used to get errors, thinking the files may be corrupt. Then we sent them new files which we had successfully refershed at our end.
