EA3 - SQL Developer EA 4.0.0.13 errors on EBS IBY_EXT_BANK_ACCOUNTS but 3.2.09 does not

Hello,
I am using SQL Developer recent release EA 4.0.0.3.2.09 build main 12.84 (and another user on EA 4.0.0.13 build main 13.30) run into this error when query IBY_EXT_BANK_ACCOUNTS in Oracle EBS R12
ORA-29275: partial multibyte character
29275. 00000 - "partial multibyte character"
*Cause: The requested read operation could not complete because a partial
multibyte character was found at the end of the input.
*Action: Ensure that the complete multibyte character is sent from the
remote server and retry the operation. Or read the partial
multibyte character as RAW.
The issue appears to be this one:
ORA-29275: Partial Multibyte Character Querying IBY_EXT_BANK_ACCOUNTS (Doc ID 806024.1)
However, prior versions of SQL Developer (eg 3.2.09) work fine with the same query so this appears to be a regression in the new version of SQL Developer? I am using the OCI/thick drivers (and the 3.2.09 user is not).

EA3: SQL Developer freezes on index creation

OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600
Oracle SQL Developer 1.5.053.04
Java Platform: 1.5.0_07
Oracle server version: 10.2.0.2.0
Oracle Server O/S: RedHat Linux 64 bit
Problem replication:
Open a table and click the Edit button.
Click the Index option in search dialog.
Click the Add Index (green plus).
Highlight the Index Name and paste (CTRL-V) a new name into the field.
Notes: On tables with a small number of indexes (0-2) it seems to pause for a time (30+ seconds) and then return. On tables with larger numbers of indices, it just hangs and does not come back (waited 20 minutes).
Another odd behavior in the same dialog is if you change the index name after picking your column to index, it changes the column to index back to the default value and you have to select it again.

I forwarded this on to a developer. I see the same thing that it takes longer than it should.

MS Access 2010 and Oracle SQL Developer Version 4.0.3.16 Error

OS: Windows 7 Enterprise
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
I can not get MS Access 2010 to work/open with SQL Developer version 4.0.3.16.
ERROR when testing connection to MS Access 2010
"Status : Failure -Test failed: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified"
I added the 32-bit ODBC data source for the MS Access I am trying to use with SQL Developer version 4.0.3.16 with the "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe" application, but I still get the same error.
I appears that SQL Developer version 4.0.3.16.is looking at the 64-bit driver (ODBC Data Source) and I have no idea to direct SQL Developer version 4.0.3.16 to use the 32-bit driver (ODBC Data Source) when opening MS Access 2010.
Thank you in advance for your advice.

I downloaded the SQL Developer version 4.0.3.16 "sqldeveloper-4.0.3.16.84-x64.zip" that included the jre.
How do I check which Java JDK I am running (32-bit versuns 64-bit)?
In the command prompt I use "java -version" and I get this message "java is not recognized as an internal or external command"

SQL Developer 3.2 crashes with java error when using OCI/Thick Driver

I just installed SQL Developer 3.2 on my linux desktop. SQL Developer crashes with a java error when I select a database from the object tree.
When I check Use OCI/Thick driver the application will crash when I navigate to the tree and open a database.
The app does not crash then I have Use OCI/Thick driver unchecked.
Here are some details of my environment:

I also had the problem of SQL Developer crashing when using OCI/Thick driver but I've managed to solve it. My configuration is:
- Windows 64-bit
- Java 64-bit (1.6.0.34)
- SQL Developer 3.2.09 64-bit
- OCI Instant client 11.2.0.3 64-bit (without installation).
The thing that solved the problem was copying two files, ojdbc5.jar and ojdbc6.jar, from Instant client installation folder to JAVA_HOME/lib/ext folder+.
After that, I haven't had a single crash or error message.
The same trick that solved the problem on 64-bit installation also solved the problem on another windows computer with 32-bit SQL Developer installation.

SQL Developer 3.1 getting PermGen space Error during migrations

We are using SQL Developer 3.1 to migrate because it is allowing us direct connections to both Sybase and Oracle. While running migration tests I would occasionally receive the following error when running the Convert and/or Move data steps even if run off-line.
Error: Migration actions have failed. Check the migrations reports for details. : PermGen space.
I seemed to have solved the error by shutting down and restarting SQL Developer after the completion of each major step. I know 3.1 is Early Adaptor but is this a known issue and is there another solution? Also, 3.1 is having issues with freezing so does anyone know when the next bug fix will be released?
Thanks

Hi,
This looks like a problem with the SQL*Developer Early Adopter release itself so it would be better if you opened a new thread in the SQL*Developer forum -
SQL Developer
That is monitored by the developers more than this thread so they are more likely to see it.

SQL developer 3.1 throws Function sequence error

Hi,
I was able to connect to my remote timesten db and was able to compile and execute packages.
I tried modifying one of my packages to include dbms_lock.sleep in my code and then compiled the package.
while running the package i got some error related to locking.
The strange this is after this i am not able to connect to the timesten db using sql developer.
An error is thrown, "Could not connect to the database Function sequence error"
I tried restarting the timesten server and then also the same error exists.
How can i resolve this?

TS1702 How do I report a "bad" app product to Apple? The App developer has failed to address the problem and keeps on selling a product which does not work. Surely Apple has some liability in this case or at the very least some responsibility.

How do I report an App that is not working and the seller has not fixed the problem yet is continuing to sell it? People are being ripped off and Apple does not seem to care.

I recently purchased a scam app (GPS map Virgin Islands) by the Kaart Data LLC. I first emailed the developers and got a quick response: "we are sorry that you don't like the app, but we don't do refund". I went to the "Report a Problem" link from Apple like King_Penguinsuggested, and got a response from Apple saying they will refund the whole amount and start an investigation on that app. So it definitely worthes a try.
Glad you got some resolution on that. I'm not familier with the app you had issues with, but the one the OP was questioning is very highly regarded and widely sold. Odds are the issue was with his iPad and he never responed to inquiries about troubleshooting (I suspect he had not tried much of anything).

J2SE path for SQL Developer

I have downloaded and installed SQL Developer 3.0 (JDK not included) for Linux as per Oracle's download page. The page advises that JDK 1.6.0_11 or greater must be installed.
$ java -version responds:
java version "1.6.0_20"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.9) (fedora-54.1.9.9.fc14-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)
Do I already have suitable JDK installed? And if so, how do I determine its full path?
When I run script /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin/sqldevqloper for the first time, it prompts for the full path of a J2SE installation. Am I being asked for a path to my JDK installation? I don't know what to specify for the path, and the SQL Developer user guide is silent on how to identify this path. Or do I have to install something else before I can get SQL Developer to work?
My background is Oracle DBA, not Java, so I find all this JDK/JRE/J2SE stuff very confusing. Can any one assist with specific instructions on what I need to do to get this product working?
TIA,
Jon

Thanks, Jim.
I downloaded the JDK from Oracle and installed it. I now have /usr/java/jdk1.7.0. At SQL Dev first time startup, I specified that path as the path to the J2SE installation, and SQL Dev started with a popup message:
"You are attempting to run with Java 1.7.0
Running this product is supported with a minimum Java
version of 1.6.0_04 and a maximum version less than 1.7
This product will not be supported, and may not run
correctly if you proceed. Continue anyway?"
Click "Yes", and SQL Developer 3.0.04.34 starts.
Great! Oracle supplies a JDK which does not support an Oracle product?
Anyway, its working. Many thanks for your assistance.

SQL Developer: Windows 7 64-bits double numerical entries

I am using sql developer windows 7 64-bits version 64-3.2.20.09.87-no-jre.
I am entering data directly on tables.
Sometimes when I use numeric pad to enter numbers, double entries appears on the first digit.
For example: entering 1234
it appears 11234 - with first numeric entry appearing twice.
This also happens with the past versions, different notebook brands.
How do I solve this problem?

Hi can anyone advise
The Problem
We are currently using Oracle SQL Developer 1.2.1.3213 to administer to the oracle database, unfortunately, this version does not play well with a 64 bit environ. The current airbus standard for Oracle SQL Developer which is happy with Windows 7 64 bit is version 3.1.07, again unfortunately, this version does not support versions of the Oracle database less than I think it is 8. Budget precludes the option of upgrading to a newer version of dbase.
The Question
Is there a version of Oracle SQL Developer that will meet our needs for windows 7 while remaining on the same version of the oracle database, or are there other competing products that you could recommend that will fit the bill. The product will require a GUI I don’t want to go back to entering SQL at the command line.
regards
Kevin" this version does not support versions of the Oracle database less than I think it is 8."
What do you mean by this statement?
SQL Developer is just a client. Clients do NOT have to be exactly version matched to a database. I am running SQLDeveloper 3.2 on a Win 7 Pro 64-bit desktop and my databases are a mix of 10.2.0.4 and 11.2

No data in view in SQL Developer

When trying to run the following code in SQL Developer the return values from the statement are all NULL.
SELECT DECODE(paaf.assignment_type, 'E', hr_general.decode_lookup('EMP_CAT', paaf.employment_category),
'C', hr_general.decode_lookup('CWK_ASG_CATEGORY', paaf.employment_category))
FROM per_all_assignments_f paaf
WHERE SYSDATE BETWEEN paaf.effective_start_date AND paaf.effective_end_date;However when the same query in SQL*Plus and Toad the return values are correct.
After some rooting about in the Oracle eTRM I found that the function decode_lookup was using a cursor that took data from the view hr_lookup.
When I looked at this view through SQL Developer there is no data. However when querying the view in SQL*Plus there are > 51K rows.
Can anyone shed light on why this is? I have tried it on SQL Developer 1.2 and 1.5 EA3. I am working on Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0 with eBusiness Suite 11.5.10.2
Thanks,
James.

I understand that SQL Developer takes it's NLS settings from Preferences - Database - NLS Parameters. What I was not aware of is that when SQL Developer is run for the first time the NLS Parameters seem to be populated from the settings on the OS of the PC it is running on. To test that this was the case I did the following
I work on a Windows XP system with Regional Options - Standards and Formats and Regional Options - Location set with English (United Kingdom) and United Kingdom respectively.
I unzipped two clean SQL Developer instances (both Version 1.2.1). The first instance I first ran under my current PC set up without importing settings from a previous installation. The Preferences - Database - NLS Parameters - Language and Preferences - Database - NLS Parameters - Territory had been populated with English and United Kingdom.
I then changed the Regional Options on the OS to English (United States) and United States and ran the second instance of SQL Developer for the first time, again without importing settings. In this instance of SQL Developer the NLS Parameters were populated with American and America.
When the first instance of SQL Developer was the checked under these OS settings the NLS Parameters were still English and United Kingdom.
I was not aware this was the case and, if my test is correct, it seems to contradict the SQL Developer user guide http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10405_01/doc/appdev.120/e10406/intro.htm#CHDBHCAG

TNS_ADMIN not respected, or how do I get sql developer to see my tnsnames

When I installed sql developer at home with a 'static' tnsnames.ora file, sql-developer picked it up right away, and I was able to use the 'connect identifier' pull down menu.
However, at work, all of developer's computers have a TNS_ADMIN registry set pointing to a network share. Sql developer fails to recognize that. The purpose of this is central administration of the file (changes happen at least once a month)
Is there are a way to make it see our tnsnames.ora file? Is there are some kind of workaround (besides copying the file locally)
Thanks.

Unfortunately, because SQL Developer is set up to allow an install without any local Oracle client, it is not wonderful at picking up some things from the local Oracle client when it is there - such as the TNS_ADMIN setting.
Assuming you are on an Windows box, rather than having your TNS_ADMIN set in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle registry 'directory', you need to have a Windows environment variable set for TNS_ADMIN (it doesn't matter if this is a User environment variable or a System environment variable). I assume (but don't know) that on a Linux based version you need a Unix environment variable set.
For example on Windows XP, right click on My Computer and select the Properties menu option. On that page, select the Advanced tab and then the Environment Variables button. Then click on the New button (in either the System or User section) and enter the variable name TNS_ADMIN and the variable value that you are using in the registry (ie z:\orant\network\admin).

Problems using Quick Migrate in SQL Developer 1.5 for MySQL to Oracle 10g

Hi all,
I am trying to use SQL Developer 1.5 migration tools (Quick Migrate) to perform online capture and build source model to migrate from MySQL 5.x to Oracle 10g on Windows platform. I get these errors and the Quick Migrate process fails:
oracle.dbtools.metadata.persistence.PersistableObject.doInsert(PersistableObject.java:238)
I did a search and used the sqldeveloper.cmd script but still fails. Then I created a new database and truncated the repository. I now get the above error plus two new ones listed below:
oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:112)
Error loading nls:OALL8 is in an inconsistent state
Error occurred during capture: Protocol violation
It fails during the capture process for MySQL 5.1 database
when it begins to capture the tables from MySQL.
Does anyone know how to resolve these issues when migrating from MySQL to Oracle 10g using Quick Migrate with SQL Developer 1.5 release?

Hi all,
I put the following in my sqldeveloper.cmd file:
SET ORACLE_HOME=%CD%
What is very confusing is that with SQL Developer 1.5, there are several levels and several SQL Developer executables! I am really not sure which of these to use:
I created the SQLDeveloper 1.5 directory called SQLDeveloper1_5 on Windows:
1) cd C:\sqldeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338
there exists a sqldeveloper.exe
2) cd c:\sqldeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper.exe
3) cd c:\sqldeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloer\bin\sqldeveloper.exe
Which SQLDeveloper 1.5 executable should I be using and where should I place the
sqldeveloper.cmd file?
Also I did try to use a different database and schema for the repository with Quick Migrate but it appears a bug exists in SQL Developer 1.5 version that causes errors with Quick Migrate for MySQL to Oracle? Is this correct?
As an update, I ran the following commands:
cd to
c:\sqldeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin
sqldeveloper.cmd sqldeveloper.exe
Start sqldeveloper.exe
Perform standard capture for MySQL using the new mig2 schema as the new repository
It starts the capture but fails on the errors below:
Error loading nls:OALL8 is in an inconsistent state
UPDATE
============================
I tried this again and it worked with the exception of one error message listed below:
Here are the steps that I followed:
1. Create a Windows cmd script
Put the following entries in the script:
SET ORACLE_HOME=%CD%
save the command windows script as sqldeveloper.cmd
Copy this script to the base installation directory for SQLDeveloper
Example:
1. cd c:\SQLDeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338\sqldeveloper
2. Start SQLDeveloper with the command script that you created earlier
Example:
Open a Windows shell prompt window and execute the following scripts:
a) sqldeveloper.cmd sqldeveloper.exe
b) sqldeveloper.exe
3) In SQL Developer 1.5
From the Migrate menu,
a) Delete current repository and create a new schema in Oracle target database call it mig2.
b) Then create a new repository in SQL Developer 1.5
c) Right mouse click on the MySQL 5.x database and choose capture
It worked with the exception of one error message:
o.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Error while registering Oracle JDBC Diagnosability MBean.
So it looks like something is screwed up with my JDBC drivers and configuration for MySQL. How do I diagnose the JDBC driver issue for MySQL?
Thanks!!!

GeoRaptor 3.2.1 Released for SQL Developer 3.x

Spatialites!
After 6 months of development and testing, GeoRaptor 3.2.1 has been released for SQL Developer 3.x (tested on 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2). This release no longer supports SQL Developer 1.x or 2.x releases due to internal changes to the SQL Developer APIs.
GeoRaptor can be downloaded from the GeoRaptor project's sourceforge page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/georaptor and installed via Help>Check for Updates>Install from Local File. Installation via SQL Developer's update mechanism should be available soon.
The release notes for this release are:
* Fixed issues with validate geometry functionality in particular the update dialog box.
* Revamped "About GeoRaptor" form. Includes clickable URLs, links to mailing lists, version number listing, thanks to testers etc.
* Placed "About GeoRaptor" icon on GeoRaptor's map toolbar.
* SQL Developer NLS settings accessed: improvements in the display and entry and numeric data.
-- Tolerances in Spatial Layer properties will display with the NLS decimal separator eg 0,05.
     Some parts of GeoRaptor such as Validation that show and accept numbers have not been changed from when someone else modified the code.
     If you double click on the left MBR/right MBR icon in the map at the bottom, the current centre position will display according to the NLS settings.
     Editing the value to jump the map to that point works even with grouping separators and decimal separators being commas!
* Spatial Layer Draw has been modified to use NLS based decimal formatting.
* New geometry marking/labelling options have been added. In particular you can now label the vertices of a linestring/polygon with the following additional elements:
-- Cumulative length
-- Measure (M)
-- Z value
-- Labelling of vertices with <id>{X,Y} now also honours 3/4D geometries. If geometry has XYY then it will be labelled as {X,Y,Z} etc.
* You can also label each vector/segment of a linestring/polygon with:
-- Length
-- Cumulative Length
-- Bearing (approximate for geodetic/geographic data)
-- Distance (approximate for geodetic/geographic data)
-- Bearing and Distance (approximate for geodetic/geographic data)
* The font properties of the mark text can be changed independently of the feature label. This includes the offset and label position (CC, LL, UR etc).
* New feature labelling options have been provided:
-- First/middle/last vertex,
-- Any supplied sdo_point within a line/polygon's sdo_geometry object, or
-- Calculated by GeoRaptor on the client side using Java Topology Suite.
* Result sets now have the ability to:
-- Copy to clipboard all geometries across many rows and columns.
-- Display one or more (selected) geometries in a popup image window. This functionality is also available in the result set generated by an Identify command.
* New GeoRaptor Preferences:
-- Width and height in pixels of the new popup image window (displaying one or more geometry objects) can be set;
-- Colours of orphan, missing and correct metadata entries for Metadata Manager;
-- Prefixing with MDSYS for all currently supported spatial objects - sdo_geometry, sdo_point, sdo_elem_info, sdo_ordinates, sdo_dim_info - has been made an option.
-- There is now a new property called "Show Number Grouping Separator" in Tools>GeoRaptor>Visualisation.
     If it is ticked a number will be formatted with the thousands separator in Tools>Database>NLS eg 10000.000 will display as 10,000.000.
* Sdo_Geometry display of all spaces in text between elements of the sdo_geometry array have been removed.
   This was done mainly to compact the sdo_geometry strings so that they are as small as possible when displaying or copying to clipboard.
* Help pages added to the following dialogs with more to follow:
-- Metadata Manager,
-- Shapefile Importer and
-- Layer Properties dialogs.
* GeoRaptor menu entries renamed. New "Manage All Metadata" entry added to View>GeoRaptor menu.
* Spatial Index creation dialog now supports additional index parameters and parallel build settings.
* Metadata Manager overhauled:
a. Shows:
     1. Metadata entries which have no underlying oracle object (orphan)
     2. Metadata entries for existing underlying objects (existing case)
     3. Database objects with sdo_geometry for which no metadata entry exists (new)
b. All orphan/existing/missing colours for (a) can be set via Preferences>GeoRaptor>Visualisation
c. All actions for main (bottom) metadata table are in a single right mouse click menu.
     Some entries will only appear if a single row is selection (metadata copy), others (delete and copy to clipboard) will appear for one or more.
d. Can now switch between open connections to modify metadata of other objects in schemas other than the starting object.
e. Buttons revamped.
* Tab/Shapefile export:
a. Export now supports NULL valued columns. Can be exported as an empty string (if DBase override in GeoRaptor Preferences is ticked) or
     as a predefined value eg NULL date => 1900-01-01 (set in new GeoRatptor Import/Export Preferences).
b. Some work attempted on export of NLS strings (still not corrected).
c. Objects with no rows now correctly processed.
* Shapefile Import
-- Bug relating to Linux file names corrected.
* Fixed issue (identified by John O'Toole) with spatial index underlying a view not being used in map display.
* Reinstated sdo_nn as the principal method for Identify (requested by John O'Toole).
* Fixed problem with handling single click zoom in and out in GeoRaptor map etc.
* Fixed problem with rendering lines from database item (identified by Vladimir Pek).The new "About GeoRaptor" should be read by all people installing GeoRaptor.
Please, please consider registering your email address with our private email list so that we can get a feel for the sorts of people downloading and installing GeoRaptor.
Please consider helping us with documentation or the internationalisation via translating properties files from English to your native language.
GeoRaptor is written and maintained by people who use SQL Developer and Spatial every day but we don't pretend we know everything that users want: please let us know via our feature request page at SourceForge.
We don't get paid for what we do so are always looking for additional help.
Here are some of the requests we have had for improvements:
1. MySQL access
2. WMS access;
3. Ability to import shapefile data into an existing table;
4. Ability to processing multiple shapefiles into separate tables (current version can import one or more into a single target table);
5. Ability to export/import layer definitions to give to others;
6. Support for non-English character sets for varchar exports to shapefiles.Some are relatively simply, some require a lot of engineering work. For the latter, we are considering alternative funding methods to the currently completely free development approach.
Thanks to the following for their invaluable assistance:

Simon,
I will admit, I almost never use SQL Developer. I have been a long time Toad user, but for this tool, I fumbled around a bit and got everything up and running quickly.
That said, I tried the new GeoRaptor tool using this tutorial (which is I think is close enough to get the jist). http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/georaptor/index.php?title=A_Gentle_Introduction:_Create_Table,_Metadata_Registration,_Indexing_and_Mapping
As I stumble around it, I'll try and leave some feedback, and probably ask some rather stupid questions.
Thanks for the effort,
Bryan
