Does SQL Developer allow file spooling?

Hello, I'm asking whether SQL Developer application allows me to use the spool command to save all the queries I entered during a session into a text file, just like we used to do in sqlplusw.exe, so that they can be used for reference? or do we have to save each single query we enter?

You can also select All in the output windows. Then you can right click to export the data from the output in several format.

AddVMOption command in SQL developer configuration files

Greetings developers,
I'm a newbie in database and Java world trying to understand what the Oracle sql developer configuration files do by executing AddVMOption commands. I'm guessing this command is something to do with Jdeveloper. Please enlighten me what the command does.
Regards,
Valerie

Valerie,
Nothing to do with JDeveloper at all.
SQL Developer (and JDeveloper incidentally) are created using Java - the AddVMOption's that you are referring to are arguments passed to the Java Virtual Machine that is used to run SQL Developer. For example, you can use AddVMOption to give more memory to SQL Developer.
Hope this clarifies,
John

Does SQL Developer Data Modeler fit-in??

Hi Everyone,
Wish you happy new year 2011.
Does SQL Developer Data Modeler support conceptual, logical and physical in our modeling or only logical and physical?
We all use Erwin for modeling. Erwin works without database repository storing models in desktop folders and provide additional reporting. I find some place SQL Developer Data Modeler talked about repository need.
Does SQL Developer Data Modeler store the models in local/network folders instead of Database server?
What are the functions need database based repository to work with SQL Developer Data Modeler?
We are thinking of using SQL Developer Data Modeler for our conceptual, Logical, and data dictionary need. Will it help in our need?
Do we need to face any surprises on using SQL Developer Data Modeler for our need?
Thanks in sharing your experience and helping me out.
RI

1) Do we need to have Oracle database at back end to work with SQL Developer Data Modeler?No, Data Modeler use Oracle database only if you create reporting repository.
Data Modeler is free, you need database license only if you want to log service request
2) Will SQL Developer Data Modeler create any tables (as backend repository ) in Oracle database to store Model details? no
3) Do we need to create reporting schema in backend oracle database to generate reports of SQL Developer Data Modeler's items such as Entity/attributes etc?no, reports can be created out of current loaded design. However having reporting repository will give you additional benefits - history (reports can be generated for every snapshot of your designs there) and multi-user usage, you can create your own reports
4) Do we to use SQL Developer Data Modeler reverse engineer from DB2, SqlServer, Terra data etc?Data Modeler has full support for Oracle, DB2/390, DB2/UDB(LUW) and MS SQL Server. Reverse engineering from other databases (including Terra Data) is at generic JDBC level - you'll get some and some will be missing (no check constraints for example).

Does SQL developer plan to support TFS?

our developing team uses MS Team Foundation Server as our primary source control / version control software. Does SQL developer planning to give a plug-in to support this? The PL/SQL developer could let us us MSSCCI provider to connect to TFS, I would like to know if Oarcle's SQL developer support the same.
Thanks!

Although unlikely, you can always request this at the SQL Developer Exchange, so other users can vote and add weight for possible future implementation.

Does SQL Developer support OS Authentication? Will it?

Does SQL Developer support OS Authentication connections? If not will it in the future?

Given this has the SQL Developer been changed to remove the requirement of adding a password for an OS authenticated account? These users also have the ability to access the DB via applications and the fact that they don't have to enter a password right now is ideal. I really don't want to have to add a password for them. Will this be changed within SQL Developer?

Why does SQL Developer sometimes not allow me to "Disconnect"?

Sometimes when I'm ready to close SQL Developer, I try to get out gracefully, but the "Disconnect" option for the only connection I have open is greyed out. Why? The only option I know then is to close SQL Developer by clicking the "x" in the upper, right corner.
My version of SQL Developer is a bit old: I have SQL Developer 2.1.0.63. We have an Oracle11.1.0.7 database. I have a 64-bit Windows7 desktop. I think my Java version is also a bit old, but it seems to be compatible with the EBS R12.0.6 application that I need to support. I'm not a Java expert. If I go to a C:\ prompt, and type: "java -version", It returns: "1.4.2_04".

Actually, I think the link Alessandro posted is helpful. I cannot reproduce the behavior on Win XP, but can on Linux (somewhat). That is, Properties gets greyed out at times, but not Disconnect or Apply Filter. Retrying the right-click resolves the problem, as he notes.
So I assume my point (1) would be more nearly correct if restated as "Bug or timing issue".
As for (3), I really cannot give a good example. If I open a Tool menu item like Monitor SQL or Monitor Sessions on, say, the SYSTEM user, the Disconnect option is not greyed out and if used will close all the open windows for that connection. If I run Debug on a package/procedure/function, Disconnect also remains enabled. Clicking on it produces a "Cannot Disconnect" dialog warning with this text: "The database connection cannot be closed while an active debugging session exists". Perhaps I'm mistaken entirely, or just confused after seeing that behavior on some older version of SQL Developer

SQL developer bat file not found?

(possibly this should be posted in another place)
I installed the new Oracle 11.2.0.1 64 bit in windows 2008 sp2 64 bit, the sqldeveloper doesn't work,
D:\app\serv_hyperion\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\SQLDEVELOPER\SQLDEVELOPER\BIN\sqldeveloper.bat
Actually, I cannot find this bat file, this is strange. And I have to refer to the sqldeveloper.exe file, and it looks for a java, and I refer it to a jdk or jre Java, but stilll error happens. what happens? why i cannot find the sqldeveloper.bat file?
when I refer the sqldeveloper.exe to JRE java.exe, the error is: J2SE SDK is not found. If I refer the sqldeveloper to JDK java.exe, the error is Java Virtual Machine is not available. I have 2 issues: the first probelem is I cannot find the sqldeveloper.bat that should exist, the 2nd problem is I cannot start the sqldeveloper.exe no matter if I use JRE or JDK, thanks!

Hello,
Sincerely, I always install SQL Developer separately on a directory whose name specify the Release. For instance, sqldeveloper-2.1.1.64.45.
Because Oracle delivers new release every 2 or 3 months, and it's recommended to do not modifying Oracle Server installation without using OUI.
Then, you can locate the sqldeveloper.exe on this directory and create a shortcut to it.
Afterwards, when you want to install a later release (sqldeveloper x.y.z.aa.bb) you may create another directory for that and import straigthly all the connexions you already defined from the former installation.
By exporting / importing connexions you won't have to recreate them.
By that way, you may have several releases of sqldeveloper and compare them. Sometimes there're differences between them.
For instance, the first release of SQL Developer (1.1) allows connexions to Oracle 8i database while it's not allowed in 2.1.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Oracle SQL developer configuration file

Greetings experts,
I'm a newbie in a Java and Database world trying to understand configuration file in Oracle SQL developer. It uses command like AddVMOption. I'm guessing this is a Java language related command. Is this true? If yes, what does it do?

SQL Developer export files not visible

Hi All,
I've started using SQL Developer recently and I am completely new to this tool.
I've noticed a weird problem. All the export files and the folders I create from SQL Developer is not visible from the normal windows. Say I've executed a query and I need to export the output to a file. I right-click on the data grid; select Export Data -> xls/csv (anything) . I get a pop to mention the Location of the file. I click on Browse ; then select the location and then click on apply. I expect the file to be created. But when I go to that folder; I do not find any files.
To add on to my suprise; If i click on open a file and navigate to the above mentioned path; the pop-up shows that the file is present in that folder. But it is not visible from Windows. This is of no use as I cannot use those files.
BTW; version is 2.1.1.64
Note: I've also enabled the option of viewing all hidden files and folders in Windows.
Regards,
Arun

Hi Arun,
If you are using Windows Vista, Windows 7, or higher, and writing to a directory (like C:\, C:\Windows\, C:\Program Files\) that Microsoft wishes to protect from malware or just simple clutter , then you are running afoul of a redirect feature in the OS that puts the unwanted file in a VirtualStore folder for your user name, specifically:
C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\<full path where you think the file got stored>See the following for details:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/folder-redirect-in-windows-7/95218744-37e6-40cd-b890-2e647351df16
I just ran across this myself for the case of C:\ and perhaps this applies to your situation also.

Does SQL Developer have any way to run the SQL*PLUS COPY FROM command?

set arraysize 100;
set copycommit 100;
COPY FROM SCOTT/TIGER@OtherDBinstance -
CREATE COMPANY -
USING SELECT * from COMPANY;

Thanks. I have been using the create table ABC as select * from ABC@otherdb but this often runs into temp segment issues for very large tables. The SQL*PLUS version allows me to have the copy commit save after each xxxxx lines and this seems to be able to handle any size table. Can copy commit be used from SQL Developer?

How does SQL Developer run EXPLAIN PLAN?

Hello,
I noticed that SQL Developer can do an EXPLAIN PLAN even though I don't have a PLAN_TABLE available for the user that I use to connect in SQL Developer.
I was always wondering whether there was a way to do an EXPLAIN PLAN without a PLAN_TABLE, apparently this seems to be possible.
Thomas

If I try an explain plan when I do not have a plan table available, I get the message "A PLAN_TABLE is required to access the explain plan, but it does not exist. Do you want to create a PLAN_TABLE?". Unfortunately, as that user does not have create table privs, if I say Yes I get the following error "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges".
Given this, if you are doing an explain plan, you either have access to a plan table or you have create table privs and SQL Developer has created the plan table for you.

Does SQL Developer support a default Path to SQL scripts

Just started using SQL Developer.
In the past, I created shortcuts on my PC desktop to run SQLPLUS to the different
instances as follows:
1. Create a shortcut to PLUS80W.exe
2. Set the property "Start in" to a directory where the SQL scripts are located.
3. Add the login/password@instance to the end of the shortcut.
In this way, ypu only needed to click on the shortcut to log into SQLPLUS and run your
scripts via @script.sql etc.
Can you setup a default path to SQL scripts SQL Developer so that it can locate
the scripts on your PC ?

I did notice in version 13.43 that if you close SQL Developer with a SQL script open in the SQL Worksheet, when you startup SQL Developer the next time it automatically opens the file in the SQL Worksheet with no database connection. It also sets the default path for SQL scripts to be the directory where your open SQL file resides. If you right-click in the SQL Workshop and then click on "Open File" the directory defaults to the directory of the SQL file that is open.

Does SQL Developer 1.5.3 install as a 'Program' in Windows XP

I just downloaded and installed SQL Developer 1.5.3 for my Windows XP Media Center laptop.
I ran the program and it works fine. Looks very nice!
However, I don't see that any programs have been added to my 'All Programs' list.
And I don't see anything like 'Oracle SQL Developer' when I look in the Control Panel/Add Remove Programs.
So I was wondering if Developer actually installs like that.
Or do I just need to execute the sqldeveloper.exe file whenever I want to use the program.
Thanks.

The "install" of SQL Developer is simply the unzip (assuming you either have a pre-installed JDK or have the with JDK zip file) - this doesn't put it in the Add/Remove Programs under Windows. Once you have unzipped it, it is just a matter of running the sqldeveloper.exe.

Does SQL Developer has login.sql script where I can put all the env SQLs?

Hello community,
Please help me out with a simple question.
Each time I start SQL Developer (3.1) and connect to a database I need to run:
alter session set nls_date_format='YYYY.MM.DD HH24:MI:SS';
to set data fields format to reflect hours, minutes and seconds.
Can I automate it? I use login.sql in SQL Plus tro setup environment including data formant .
How to do it in SQL Dev?
Thank you in advance,
Yury

Hi Yury,
You have a choice:
1. Specify the login script via Tools|Preferences|Database|Filename for the connection startup script.
2. Specify the value of nls_date_format directly via Tools|Preferences|NLS|Date Format (and perhaps additionally the Timestamp formats).
Recall that not all SQL*Plus commands are supported by Worksheet, but alter session does in fact work just fine.

Gary

Does SQL Developer coem ith a client built in?

I want to use SQL Developer, but want to find out if i need to install an Oracle client first, or does it come with one in the install?
Can anyone please answer this question for me?
If it does not come with a client in the install, can i download a standalone client without having to download an entire database install to install the client from?
Regards,
Darren

If the connection is standard (non grid, non external auth), you can connect without an oracle client. All that you need is the hostname, port, and servicename or sid. This is possible with the basic tab in the connection pane.
