EA1 : Bug for F4 to Describe Table

Question

Hi,
SQL Developer EA1 1.5, Win XP, Java 1.5.0_01, againts 9i and 10gR2 Database.
I use the Describe functionality using F4, the following happened :
- Cannot describe tables owned by other user, both for DBA's liked user and standard user
However run :
desc otheruser.table1 from SQL Worksheet is working and showing tables structure
and code completion seems to working correctly (I did use the code completion and then F4 to try this)
Just example :
-- query is working,
-- but F4 showed a popup message : No Object Found: system.help
select *
from   system.help;   No Describe Window open at all.
- Describe tables owned by myself
Two conditions :
1. User with granted select and connect (on Oracle 10.2.0.2)
Describe Window doesn't appear.
Just example :
     -- query is working,
     -- but F4 showed a popup message : No Object Found: myuser.mytable
     select *
     from   myuser.mytable;  
                         But.... now Describe Window appears
    -- query is working,
    -- F4 showed a popup message
    -- Pop up : No Valid Query
    -- No query found for version of the selected database
       select *
       from   sys.dual;             
       select *
       from   mytable; -- without specifying myuser (schema/owner)
    2. User with privilage near to DBA (on Oracle 9.2.0.6 64 bit)
Describe Window appears.
Pop up : No Valid Query
No query found for version of the selected database
And
The following error occured :
java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: TABLE_NODE_ICON at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredField(Class.java:1854) at oracle.dbtools.raptor.images.RaptorImage.getIcon(RaptorImage.java:31) at oracle.dbtools.raptor.controls.display.DisplayModel.getIcon(DisplayModel.java:295) at oracle.dbtools.raptor.oviewer.base.PopupDescribe.showPopup(PopupDescribe.java:142) at oracle.dbtools.raptor.oviewer.base.PopupDescribe.showPopup(PopupDescribe.java:99) at oracle.dbtools.raptor.oviewer.base.PopupDescribe.showPopup(PopupDescribe.java:76) at oracle.dbtools.sqlworksheet.sqlview.SqlEditorController.handleEvent(SqlEditorController.java:587) at oracle.ideimpl.controller.IdeActionHook$MetaClassController.handleEvent(IdeActionHook.java:407) at oracle.ide.controller.IdeAction.performAction(IdeAction.java:513) at oracle.ide.controller.IdeAction.actionPerformedImpl(IdeAction.java:843)

Answer 1

Sue,
Which bug are you talking about as being 9i specific?
I am on 10.2.0.3 and using EA2 with JDK 1.6.0_04 and still getting the following:
My user has a private synonym THEIR_TABLE for OTHER_USER.THEIR_TABLE and select access.
My user has select access but no synonyms for OTHER_USER.OTHER_TABLE.
Describe works with THEIR_TABLE, OTHER_USER.THEIR_TABLE and OTHER_USER.OTHER_TABLE, but fails in OTHER_TABLE - so this all works as expected.
F4 works as follows:
THEIR_TABLE: shows "No Valid Query: No query found for version of the selected database" dialog, but the table (not the synonym!) is described successfully after accepting the dialog
OTHER_USER.THEIR_TABLE: describes private local synonym!
OTHER_USER: shows "No Object Found: other_table" dialog
OTHER_USER.OTHER_TABLE: shows "No Object Found: other_user.other_table" dialog
F4 does not seem to cope (in my experience) with schema references in the object name being described.
The only difference between EA1 and EA2 is that I am no longer getting the java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: TABLE_NODE_ICON exception on the console.
Just a note - I like the fact that F4 on THEIR_TABLE describes the table rather than the synonym.
