Having prob in sql developer...
Hi frnds,
These many days i was using toad in my office and am very much comfortable with it.But now am forced to use SQLDeveloper.
When am using Toad, whenever i want to change the data i would just press F4 on table name and a window appears and then change in it directly so that i no need to write a update statement to modify the data..
where as in SQLDeveloper am not finding a source to do like that ...
can any1 please tell me wheater its possible in SQLDeveloper
Thanks in Advance...
open sqldeveloper -> expand connection -> expand tables (may be with filter) -> click on table name -> you will see new tab with table structure as "Columns" -> click on the next tab "Data" -> Add/Delete/Modify any row and then Commit
add

Having trouble downloading sql developer EA
Can anyone confirm if the sqldeveloper EA edition server is having problems? I am having trouble downloading throughout the day, via FireFox with the download gring to a halt at about 3 or 4 MB out of 159MB. My machine is Win XP SP3 and DSL download speed is 768 down, 128 up.
ThanksTypically if there are download problems, you should try again later. There is no issue with the download itself.

SQL Developer not starting - new installation
I installed Oracle 11g on Windows 8, and am having problems with SQL developer starting. I have tried to debug but not a clue what I am looking for. I really could use some help. It is a 64 bit installation - and seems to be OK as I can connect to the DB in SQL plus. Thanks a lot!
From a self-help perspective, did the following after looking at some threads:
Ran sqldeveloper.exe and the output I got is:

SQL Developer compilation problems
Hi, I'm having problems with SQL Developer.
Basically, I can only carry out 3 compilations (3 of the same object, or one each of different objects) before SQL Developer gives me an out-of memory error:
Source:oracle.javatools.db.AbstractSchemaObject
Error : java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap spacebuilding KRM_UPDATE_ARCHIVE_DES
I then can't do anything except log out and back in - very annoying!
Setup detailed below, any help gratefully received!
I also periodically get the following when trying to edit a stroed plsql object:

Edited by: user624059 on 27-Feb-2009 06:31Hi Jim - thanks for your help.
I'm using update 10. The output from the console is below - The issue was the preferences I imported were set to Windows look and feel, so I've resolved that, but the new version behaves exactly like the old version. Do you know if the dev team are regulars in here, or if there is an alternate route to report this (the original problem) to them?
Cheers,
Stuart

SQL Developer Data Modeler not drawing foreign key relationships
I'm having trouble with SQL Developer Data Modeler when I importa a DDL that has foreign keys. I export DDL files from SQL developer and choose various subsets of files. Sometimes Data Modeler will not recognize a foreign key if I include say a dozen files in the DDL file, but it will if I include just a few. Worse, even if the foreign key is recognized, sometimes it is not drawn in the Data Modeler and I have no way to make it be drawn. To be specific, I import a file containing the DDL for just two tables -- I see the foreign key! I import a file containing the DDL for a dozen tables including the two, I don't! Is there something I am not understanding about when Data Modeler will draw foreign keys or is the tool simply quite buggy?
Much thanks!
-ttamonHi Philip,
I believe I have isolated the problem. Apparently if a field is named "FOREIGN..." it interferes with the tool recognizing foreign keys. Try to import a DDL file containing the following text:
CREATE TABLE "SAMPLE"."SAMPLE_ONE"
( "ID" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"VALUE" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR),
PRIMARY KEY ("ID")
TABLESPACE "SAMPLE_DATA" ;
CREATE TABLE "SAMPLE"."SAMPLE_TWO"
( "ID" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"FOREIGN_NAME" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR),
PRIMARY KEY ("ID")
TABLESPACE "SAMPLE_DATA" ;
CREATE TABLE "SAMPLE"."SAMPLE_THREE"
( "ID" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"VALUE" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"ALT_ID" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR),
PRIMARY KEY ("ID")
TABLESPACE "SAMPLE_DATA" ENABLE,
CONSTRAINT "FK6DF8294F2288190D" FOREIGN KEY ("ALT_ID")
REFERENCES "SAMPLE"."SAMPLE_ONE" ("ID") ENABLE
TABLESPACE "SAMPLE_DATA" ;
You will discover the foreign key is not recognized or drawn! Now, if you swap the location of the third table (put it up first) everything works fine. This is how I discovered the problem, various subsets would work, others would not. To confirm the problem is with the field named "FOREIGN_NAME" use the DDL as specified above but change the first letter in the word "FOREIGN" to something else, and it will recognize the foreign key. Looks like a bug to me (took me about 4 hours to isolate this!). I am using Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler version 2.0.0 Build 584.

is any having problems with sql developer 1.1.3 showing code from pl/sql packages? it works fine with 9i not with 10gr2. Please help.
I'd suggest posting in the SQL Developer forum
SQL Developer -
SQL Developer 1.5 having problems with JDK 6 Update 7
I tried to open a table using SQL Developer 1.5 but connection timed out. when using SQL developer 1.2 i don't get any problems opening it.
i have JDK 6 update 7 installed.
the only problem with SQL Developer 1.2 is that i get a jdbc in the error log
how do i get to fix the SQL Developer 1.5?--The sql developer is connected using tnsnames.ora, with read only access
--i'm using windows XP SP3
--I have jdk 6 update 7 installed
--The tables that I can't View is listed under Other Users.
--I thought it was just because i have no permission to view it, but when i used the old sql developer 1.2, it displayed it properly.
--The reason i want to use SQL developer 1.5 is because i don't want to see any JDBC error on log messages, which happens on the sql developer 1.2
--i dont get to see any errors, sql developer suddenly can't view and lost the connection. it says connection is currently busy. and suddenly stops responding, the only way i can get it working again is by using the taskbar, when it close the program it gets java is not responding..
--also when i try running sqlcli.bat i get error with it.. is it because of my java?
--What more details do you need?

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?

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.
Tom -
Tnsnames.ora file does not seem to load in SQL Developer
I've really tried my best to figure this out on my own ... through the Help, this forum, and Internet in general. I apoligize in advance for having to ask this, since I'm sure this is a common issue. This particular form entry was really close:
Database Connections will not load tnsnames.ora
But, I just can seem to figure out why, or where entries from my tnsnames.ora file are loading into SQL Developer.
- I have the TNS_ADMIN system environment variable defined to the directory where tnsnames.ora is stored - C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\NETWORK\ADMIN.
- I do not see a TNS tab as the forum entry above indicates anywhere in SQL Developer - This may be my problem.
It seems that this issue could be cleared up with better directions on how to import tnsnames.ora entries into SQL Developer. Is there any specific direction on how to get your tnsnames.ora file setup correctly with SQL Developer running on Windows XP - Besides the Help which mentions the setup of TNS_ADMIN, but doesn't really tell you what the expected result is, or where the entries will be, or how to verify this is working?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

After testing in our environment, it appears that SQL Developer 1.5.1 (5440) does in fact ignore the TNS_ADMIN environment variable and ONLY looks in the Oracle Home directory (network/admin). We define a central network location for our tnsnames file and have the tns_admin setup to point there instead of locally for our users.
When selecting to add a new connection (in 1.5.1, it works in previously releases... meaning 1.2.something) and selecting TNS, the drop-down remains empty. However, if I exit SQL Developer and then copy the tnsnames file to the local network/admin directory I can then re-launch SQL Developer and the drop-down is populated. Exiting SQL Developer again, deleting the local copy of tnsnames, and then launching SQL Developer yet again results in the drop-down being empty.
All other Oracle-related applications function as expected (as they have for years) using the TNS_ADMIN environment variable.
Any suggestions/ideas? -
Password change fails in SQL Developer with verify function...
A couple of months ago I enforced a password verify function on our 11.2.0.3 databases and also one legacy 10.2.0.4 database.
At the time I tested on my account (which had elevated privileges...doh!). Now some users are hitting expiry, they can't change it via SQL Developer.
If I create a user with 'create session' privilege and set their profile to one that uses the verify function (see both below), I then log in to SQL Developer (we have tried with versions 3.1 (Windows) and 3.2 (Linux) with same failure results.
BTW,.. the password verify function enforces the following:
password must be minimum of 8 characters
password must not be the same as the user name, or user name (1-100)
password must contain at least a single digit
password must contain at least a single character
1. Works = I log into the local server and run command line SQLPlus, type 'password' and update. I can successfully change my password.
2. Fails = I log into the local server and run command line SQLPlus, type 'alter user <me> identified by <newpwd>;' I get:
TEST: SUTEMP > alter user sutemp identified by carport9999;
alter user sutemp identified by carport9999
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28221: REPLACE not specified
This error is because the account does not have the 'alter user' privilege. I'm okay with this, as I don't want our users having this privilege.
3. I start SQL Developer 3.2, type 'alter user <me> identified by <newpwd>;' I get the same ORA-28221 error as above. That is fine, and as expected.
4. Now in SQL Developer, I type 'password', set a valid password, but I get 'Failed to change password' in the Script Output tab.
I have a database 'after servererror on database' trigger set, and querying the database table it is logging into, I see a record with a date stamp matching my failure with a server_error=28221 (the same as above).
So I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong here, or if this is a bug in SQL Developer. I don't want standard users having 'alter user' privileges, but I do want to enforce password verification.
I get the same result on three 11.2.0.3 databases (haven't tried any more but suspect same results for others) and one legacy 10.2.0.4 database, and using SQL Developer 3.1 and 3.2.

This works in SQL Developer: alter user sutemp identified by carport999 replace garage999;
So why does the 'password' command fail? (Developers: it would also be helpful to have the ORA- error displayed as opposed to 'Failed to change password') -
Top 10 Obstacles to Sql Developer Becoming a World-class Tool
I've been working with Sql Developer day and night for the last 6 months.
On a positive note, the SqlDeveloper team has been the most responsive Oracle product team I've worked with in the 19 years I've been working with Oracle tools. They pay attention to their customers. It's noticed and much appreciated!
I thought I would share the biggest problems that I face with the tool on a daily basis, the kind of problems that make me want to work with a different tool each and every day.
My intent isn't to gripe, it's to focus attention on the biggest productivity drains I face using the tool. Others may have a different list, based on their needs. Without further ado, here is my top 10 problems list:
1) Quality Control.
I cannot count on critical portions of the tool working correctly. This includes an oracle database development tool that is incapable of extracting oracle ddl correctly and which is incapable of correctly displaying information about SQL Server data and database objects. It also includes destroying connection files and losing keyboard settings. When the product was installed, it was incapable of properly displaying code in a worksheet when I scrolled thru the code. The details are listed in other postings of mine.
2) Quality Control.
See #1.
3) Quality Control.
See #1.
4) Very badly done threading.
The tool locks up on a constant basis when it does a many tasks. Rather than let me work on some other task, I have to wait for it to complete. My current work-around is to have two or three sql developer windows open. That sucks life out of my RAM supply, but at least I can get some work done. And, of course, it will often completely lock up and never return, which means I lose all unsaved worksheets. This forum is full of postings about these issues.
5) Memory Leaks / Internal memory corruption.
If I've had the tool open for a few days, or really worked it hard for a day, I will get bizarre compilation errors that make no sense. If I exit the tool, re-enter the tool, and compile the exact same code all will be well.
6) Awkward and slow data entry interface for frequently performed tasks.
Example: I create a new table and want to start defining columns for it. I remove my hands from the keyboard to press the + button, then I have to set focus on the column name field (it should do that for me!). Now that my hands are back on the keyboard, I have to backspace the dummy "column name" value in the column name field (it should ditch that dummy value for me). Only after all that can I actually enter a column name. When I want to add a new column, it's back to the mouse again, for the same drill. The down arrow key should take me to a new column record, as should pressing return at the end of the last field in the column row.
7) Destroys code
Changing a column datatype from varchar2 to nvarchar2 destroys the length of the column. Changing a field on a view destroys the instead of triggers. This is bad. There is no warning that this this is about to happen, which would at least give us a chance to avoid the problem. Better still, of course, would be not destroying that data.
8) Inaccurate checking for record locking.
When I try to edit records in a data grid for a table, I often get an error message telling me the data was modified in another session. It is simply not true. A hand-written update statement in a sql worksheet will work just fine. I've seen posts in the forum discussing this issue. An Oracle database development tool unable to reliably update oracle data tables is embarrassing. See Obstacle #1.
9) Unicode support
Sql Developer is heads above all the other tools I've tried out on this topic.
However, the configuration of the tool to provide unicode support needs to be simplified.
The tool needs to recognize the encoding of the files that are being opened up. On Windows Vista, Notepad seems to infallibly pick the right encoding for the file when I open it. Sql Developer should do the same. Files have specific encodings, the tool should have a default encoding (that I can override). Right now, the tool has a specific encoding and expects all files to match it. Extracting ddl to a worksheet does not respect the encoding choices of the tool, either. It only works with a limited set of tool encoding choices.
10) Resources
Does the sql developer team have the resources they need to compete with vendors like Microsoft? One really big reason for picking sqlserver over oracle is the ease of use of the Microsoft front-end tools. It's not until later that they may realize that Oracle has more capability, but that's still a lost sale.We are acutely aware of quality and with each release work at improving this. Providing a polished, professional and ultimately user friendly and useful tool is our constant goal.
The broader our customer base grows, the more demands we have. This is a good and exciting position to be in, although it might mean that we need to slow down on our release cycles.
Release 2.0 should address more of the threading and memory leaks displayed as the team have rewritten some of the sections. As for resources, it's true we're a small team and we get on with the work that we do.It might be a little slower than some would like, but I'm not convinced that having large team is necessarily always the answer.
As ever, some of the points mentioned could be added to the Exchange. We'll be reviewing and updating the Exchange again in the New Year.
I think there is another point to add to your list. A lot of what the tool is and will become is from a positive customer interaction we have had to date. While we continue to grow this, I think the product will grow and improve. The forum and all the positive interactions that happen here are key to taking the product forward.

Unable to connect to a remote db using Sql Developer
hi,
I have 2 systems (A and B) both running on RHEL 6. A has Oracle 10G installed while B has Oracle 11G, and on both I have SQL Developer. A and B are cable networked with static IPs as below.
A 192.168.1.1
B 192.168.1.2
I am trying to connect to database on A from SQL Developer on B. On B, I open SQL developer, enter the connection name, username, password, hostname( or IP) of A, port #, and instance name and hit connect. It shows error about network adapter. I cannot connect.
Listners on both system are active, I can ping each system from each other. No issues with /etc/hosts either.
I am not sure then why it does not work. Would like to know if I can / should be able to connect like above ? What else should I look at to fix?
ShashiHello Sir,
Can you telnet to the server on 1521? (telnet A 1521)- failed. with no route error
However, I could telnet B from A without any prob. I then came across a workaround at
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
which suggests to :
Go into the Security Level Configuration on your Linux server. In Other Ports, specifically enter <port>:tcp, (example 1521:tcp.
and it worked :)
I am still not sure, why I had to take the workaround route when there was no difference between 2 systems, in terms of route tables, host file entries, sqlnet.ora,listner.ora, etc . I am glad that the issue is resolved and I am able to connect from SQL Developer on A to db on B and other way round, but the the question still remains... :) -
SQL Report not showing data - available in SQL Workshop and SQL Developer
I am having an issue with developing a SQL Report in APEX 3.2.1. I run the code in both SQL developer and SQL Workshop and I get data pulled back (both against my development environment). When I run the same code in a SQL Report region, it returns no data available. Does anyone have any idea what would be causing this? Other regions on the page accessing different tables in the same schema return data without issue. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
FreddieCould you explain the last comment a bit more. Here is a bit more info just in case I touch on the info with it. The db schema is BPAMGR, the Workspace is BPAMGR. We use the same schema for all of our reporting. All of our tables are in the same schema. We don't use any tables outside of this schema. Our APEX workspace has been associated to only this schema. The tables are able to be queried by SQL Workshop in the same APEX instance that the report application is under.

Lightroom Isn't Showing Up in Creative Cloud
