Hi,
When you select "Generate DB Doc" on a connection, SQL Developer runs a number of queries that aren't compatible with Oracle 9i.
For example, "NOCYCLE" and "ALL_IND_STATISTICS" used by the following queries are compatible only starting with Oracle 10g.
SELECT B.OBJECT_ID,
b.owner,
b.object_type,
b.object_name,
b.status,
replace(b.object_type,' ','_') type_link,
b.owner sdev_link_owner,
b.object_name sdev_link_name,
b.object_type sdev_link_type
FROM sys.all_objects a,
sys.all_objects b,
(SELECT object_id, referenced_object_id
FROM public_dependency
START WITH object_id = :OBJECT_ID
CONNECT BY <strong>NOCYCLE</strong> PRIOR referenced_object_id = object_id) c
WHERE a.object_id = c.object_id
AND b.object_id = c.referenced_object_id
AND a.owner NOT IN ('SYS', 'SYSTEM')
AND b.owner NOT IN ('SYS', 'SYSTEM')
AND a.object_name 'DUAL'
AND b.object_name 'DUAL';
select * from sys.<strong>all_ind_statistics</strong> where owner = :OBJECT_OWNER and index_name = :OBJECT_NAME
