Disable "Save Password" in SQL Developer 1.5.5

I understand from reading other threads that you can disabled the "save password" feature. This is a security feature that I must disable in our environment.
The details of the previous threads were as follows:
Edit the sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.conf and add this:
AddVMOption -Dsqldev.savepasswd=false
I have tried this but it does not work.
Any ideas?

Yes the users must comply but the feature is there within the product and does not work. It is a security rule that governs the use of passwords to ensure the password is not saved within the configuration.
Yes a "switch" can be undone but not if the user is unable to modify the configuration file or location of the installation files due to Group Policy thus negating this point.
Yes other applications are available, but no one in our oganisation can install non-standard applications anyway therefore negating this point too.
Summarized - This feature I believe was available in much earlier product releases and did in fact work.
I am still allowing our user base to run the application but need to obtain security level clearance to allow a delay in the application deployment that actually allows the functionality to work as designed.

How to delete saved passwords in SQL Developer User Profiles

Hi
Can anyone advise on how to delete (or flush-out) saved passwords in SQL developer connections? I have a serious security concern about saved passwords at user level and need a quick method to remove them from the backend without actual user's intervention.
An early response is highly appreciated.
Thanks
UJ

I have a serious security concern about saved passwords at user levelIf you could share more about your concerns, it might help us address or alleviate said concerns. Basically if your user's desktops are secure, then so are the passwords.
To delete them w/o user intervention you would need to delete their connections by removing the file(s) from their installs. To prevent the problem from happening again, you'd need to put down a new sqldeveloper.conf file in their bin directory that would keep them from saving passwords - example here

How to create save actions in SQL Developer 1.5?

Hi,
I am trying to create a save action in SQL Developer, which shall execute "an external tool" I already added.
I choose "Code-Editor" -> "save actions". I want to add an action, but there are 3 predefined actions and there is no possibility for me to add another. Is there a way for me to add a save action, as it is possible in eclipse?
What I am trying to do is, I want to trigger an external sql formatter. The sql formatter, which is built in, doesn't fit my needs and the way I can configure it, is very sparse. Therefore I want to use an external tool do to this - and I want it to be executed after saving the document.
Greetings,
Daniel

I cannot Disable a constraint in SQL Developer

Here is my issue:
I have created a table already named practice1.
Using SQL Developer PL/SQL try to run a loop as following:
DECLARE
COUNTER1 NUMBER(2);
BEGIN
COUNTER1 := 30;
ALTER TABLE practice1
DISABLE CONSTRAINT PRK1;
LOOP
COUNTER1 := 30;
INSERT INTO PRACTICE1
VALUES (COUNTER1, 'test7', 8, 9);
EXIT WHEN COUNTER1 >26;
END LOOP;
END;
In other words I Insert the COUNTER1 variable value as Primary Key in the tables field1 column.
I run the script successfully without the ALTER TABLE DISABLE CONTSRAINT.. command.
Everytime I run it I had to increase the starting value of Variable COUNTER1 so it will not attempt to insert a duplicate pre-existed value in Primary Key.
Then I decided to insert the command ALTER TABLE DISABLE CONSTRAINT in order to not have to worry to change the starting value.
I am able to disable the constraint by using the same command in isolation . If I run it as part of the script as above I get the following error:
Error report:
ORA-06550: line 5, column 1:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "ALTER" when expecting one of the following:
   ( begin case declare end exception exit for goto if loop mod

   insert open rollback savepoint set sql execute commit forall
   merge pipe purge
06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause:    Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
*Action:
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you.

Your question has NOTHING to do with sql developer.
Mark this question ANSWERED and repost it in the SQL and PL/SQL forum.
https://forums.oracle.com/community/developer/english/oracle_database/sql_and_pl_sql
The problem is that you CANNOT execute DDL directly in PL/SQL. You need to use dynamic SQL to execute DDL within PL/SQL.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE . . .';
If you need more help use the correct forum as shown above.

Connection login/password in SQL Developer

I had install the Database App Development VM Appliance but i can not create a connection in SQL Developer.
I tried the following user/password :
sys/oracle
sys/sys
hr/oracle
oracle/oracle
With hr/oracle i could connect in Oracle Enterprise Manager (not as SYSDBA), but could not create a connection in SQL Developer.
The only instructions I found about it was in the terminal message:
"All passwords are oracle or noted if otherwise."
How can I connect to database as SYSDBA?
Thanks

i used...
sys/oracle
connection type: basic
role: sysdba
hostname: localhost.localdomain
port: 1521
sid: orcl
wouldn't it have made sense if the VM had these settings saved in it when it was loaded?

Changing password within SQL Developer

Hi, Thanks for the great product. I'm beginning to migrate from TOAD to SQL Developer and have run into one minor snafu. The one minor feature missing within SQL Developer (unless I missed it) is to easily change a password like TOAD in the UI (This is a common complaint among other devlopers trying it out). I work on a lot of seperate databases occasionally and have to reset the passwords every 60 days.
I would like to request this minor feature.
How can I change my password without using SQL Plus, but within SQL Developer? Is there a way?
Thank you!

Sounds like a good enhancement and I will record it. In the meanwhile, just open a SQL Worksheet and issue your command.

Lync 2013 + clear "Sign-In Address" and disable "Save Password" on shared account

Hello,
We are trying to setup Lync on a few kiosk machines that will have a shared non-admin account. We'd like to modify Lync to not save the "Sign-In Address" and instead of showing the last persons login credentials, show "[email protected]".
I'd also like to disable the "Save Password" check box.
The kiosks are not on the domain, although the vast majority of our machines are on the domain and we have SSO setup and don't want to mess with how that part of the signin process is working.
Is there a way to modify the login behavior of Lync via GPO or Task Scheduler/Scripts?
Phillip Toynton

Open Control Panel, click Credential Manager.
Remove the credential for Lync account. Then you can enter the password again.
You can uncheck save my password, the related registry key is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\SavePassword.
But this registry can be modified by Lync users, you can’t disable it.

File Open/Save Boxes of SQL- Developer

I am not aware if these points are already discussed or on features list.
1) I could not find how to set default directory where SQL Developer will go directly when I am opening new file.
2. Also as far as I experienced SQL Developer does not remember the last path/directory I have opened file from.
3. I don't know difference between File Menu -> open and right click in the worksheet and open.
But the files opened via right click does not go to recently used file list in the file menu. Is this expected?
4. When I export the data to file. there are two points.
     a) Last path is not remembered so I have to go to the path every time.
     b) SQL Developer comes with the name null.csv
     The practical problem I face is after I go to whatever path I need I give some file name. But if I don’t give the extension then no extension is there to the file it created. I think most will expect to have automatic extension. I don’t know if I am expecting too much.
Regards
Sanjeev

Hi,
1. Lots of Windows users who are craving for this, let's hope it gets into v1.1. Perhaps the default script directory (accepted for v1.1) can be used.
2. They claim it does, however only for the same opened tab. Duh.
3. Might be intentional, but I agree it should be added.
4. a) Bummer, isn't it?
b) I agree. Suppose it's like this because of the multi-platform capability.
If you notice missing features or want to vote on other people's requests, there's the SQL Developer Exchange, at http://sqldeveloper.oracle.com .

SQL Developer 2.1 Disable Automatically Check for Updates bug?

Unchecking the "Automatically Check for Updates" under Preferences -> Extensions in version 1.5.5 to disables the prompting for proxy ID and password at SQL Developer startup. Unfortunately I am trying version 2.1 on Windows XP and unchecking this option under Extensions is having no affect. It is still prompting for proxy ID and password every time I start SQL Developer. This is extremely annoying.
Is this a known bug with 2.1?
Mike

I get that prompt for a Proxy as well. If I can download SQL Developer 2.1 without a Proxy then why am I prompted for one when I am checking for updates?!?
I have to uncheck the Proxy and uncheck check for Automatic Updates.
Even if I tried to use the default proxy it does not exist (I tried pinging emeacache.uk.oracle.com and it just times out and there is no DNS record either).
I have been able to finally get a few updates but still have problems with getting the JTDS and MySQL updates. I am wondering if there is a problem with Oracle's websites that are trying to be contacted to download these updates. I think Oracle's Check for Updates Wizard still has bugs that need fixing. I have had these problems not just with this new 2.1 but with previous versions as well.
I hope Oracle fixes their buggy Check for Updates Wizard or the web sites that are being contacted for the updates because this is very frustrating.

(( SQL DEVELOPER UserName Password??? --- To Access APEX TABLES ))

How do I access APEX tables from SQL DEVELOPER?
What do I use as a USERNAME and PASSWORD--
inside SQL DEVELOPER?
Hello,
I have APEX installed on my machine.
WINDOWS 7 PROFESSIONAL 64 BIT.
I also have installed:
ORACLE XE
and
SQL DEVELOPER.
I have applications I have created in APEX
with various tables.
Question:
How can I access my APEX tables from
within SQL DEVELOPER?
What USERNAME and PASSWORD do I use?
I can do this with
HR
SQL DEVELOPER USERNAME = HR
PASSWORD = HR
This works fine.
But what about for my own APEX TABLES
I created inside my own workspace
inside APEX?
For example:
LOGIN TO APEX:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/
If my
APEX WORKSPACE = DAVID_WS
SCHEMA = DAVID_SC
APEX USERNAME = DAVIDAPEX_UN
APEX PASSWORD = DAVIDAPEX_PW
LOGIN TO APEX ADMIN:
http://localhost:8080/apex/apex_admin
APEXADMIN USERNAME = DAVIDADMIN_UN
APEXADMIN PASSWORD = DAVIDADMIN_PW
So, given the above 6
NAMES and PASSWORDS above:
SQL DEVELOPER USERNAME = ????
SQL DEVELOPER PASSWORD = ????
Thanks a lot for your help!
David
Edited by: DAVID888 on Feb 3, 2011 11:53 PM

Hello david,
When you created your workspace with the below details, if the schema "DAVID_SC" was created through APEX, then you should have also specified the password as well.
APEX WORKSPACE = DAVID_WS
SCHEMA = DAVID_SC
APEX USERNAME = DAVIDAPEX_UN
APEX PASSWORD = DAVIDAPEX_PWIf you dont remember the password for "DAVID_SC", you can log on to your Oracle XE database as a "SYSTEM" user and reset the password of "DAVID_SC".
Once that is done, you can log on to SQL developer with :
username : david_sc
password : <your_new_password>
Hope it is clear and plz refer to the APEX documentation to get a better understanding of it.

Sql developer hangs when saving pl/sql external package or package body fil

When I open a package body file I can modify the contents of the file.
Compilation of the file works fine but when I want to close or save the file SQL developer hangs. I use version 1.2 (previous version did have the same problem.)
Somebody has an idee what I'am doing wrong?

Are you using 1.2.1.32.13?

SQL Developer High Memory Consumption 3.2.20.09.87

Hello,
I have been using SQL developer for quite some time and had initially had problems in the past with high memory consuption when I use this tool.
I have received and applied advice from this forum and while it had helped a little, the majority of the high memory consuption remained an issue.
I finally got more time to dig around and try to specifically isolate where the problem seems to be coming from and here is what I found.
*1)* I have removed the Check for Updates feature
*2)* I have turned off many of the extensions except for DBA Navigator, Real Time SQL Monitoring, SearchBar and Snippet.
*3)* When I start a fresh SQL Developer Session and initiate a Oracle Connection the application consumes roughly 148 meg fo RAM
*4)* When I open my Windows Task Manager and watch the memory allocated to SQL Developer I notice it goes up when I move my mouse over the SQL Developer tool and When I run through menus at roughly 5k a second or so and the memory is never released back to the system.
*5)* When I run a Large SQL to the grid the memory jumps by about 100 meg or so and will continue to do so every time I repeat the SQL until SQL Developer consumes roughly 748 meg of RAM.
*6)* 748 Meg of RAM seems to be the number when SQL Developer (with one Oracle connection) no longer continues to consume more and then not return the memory to the system.
Is there a way to have SQL Developer automatically clear up it's active memory usage without closing it down and restarting it?
Why does SQL Developer continue to consume more and more memory just from moving your mouse over it and/or by navigating menus?

Aces!!! You nailed it Gary...
Thank you.
I applied fixed noted in Re: Reduce SQLDeveloper memory footprint with JDK 1.7
For others, to summarize my changes.
product\11.2.0\client_3\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf
AddVMOption -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions
AddVMOption -XX:+UseG1GC
AddVMOption -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50
AddVMOption -XX:GCPauseIntervalMillis=200
AddVMOption -XX:MaxPermSize=128M
AddVMOption -Xms50M
AddVMOption -Xmx384M
AddVMOption -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=10
AddVMOption -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=10
product\11.2.0\client_3\sqldeveloper\ide\bin\ide.conf
comment the following two lines as shown below
#AddVMOption -Xmx640M
#AddVMOption -Xms128M
Now SQL Developer runs at roughly 500 meg.
I guess the only thing I have left to ask others reviewing this would be if there is a way to get these memory values down without having much adverse impacts on SQL Developer based on newer JVM switches/functionalities.
The posts that drove these changes are old from a technologoical perspective :) 2010.

SQL developer vs SQL*plus

Its not a 3rd party but Oracle's own tool.

SQL Developer consumes a lot of memory

Sql developer consumes a lot of RAM (around 100 MB) few minutes after start of application . any tips to reduce this?

This is usually due to the caching of database objects on support of code insight and is dependent on the number of objects in the database. As documented in the readme.txt in the sqldeveloper home directory, you can disable code insight.
2.1 To disable Code Insight
Run SQL Developer from a command line using the following statement:
Windows : sqldeveloper -J-Dsdev.insight=false
Linux or Mac: Run sh sqldeveloper -J-Dsdev.insight=false
or edit sqldeveloper.conf and add "AddVMOption -J-Dsdev.insight=false"

SQL/Developer & Resource Usage.

A quick comparison with Toad on XP.
Both software connected to same database running a blank sql window.
Toad = 30MB
SQL/Developer =60MB
Usage of SQL/Developer see memory usage rocket to 180MB.
Shutdown of SQL/Developer closes down the process but the PC still runs slow and requires a reboot.
Nice product but what's the deal guys ?

It's the insight stuff.
You shold turn off sql insight as documented here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/project_raptor/ea6_relnotes.html.
<snip>
We now have a command line way to turn off code insight. This is very useful for users who access larger databases. To disable Code insight, startup SQL Developer from the command line using:
On Windows: sqldeveloper -J-Dsdev.insight=false
On Linux or Mac: Run sh sqldeveloper -J-Dsdev.insight=false
or edit sqldeveloper.conf and add "AddVMOption -J-Dsdev.insight=false".
