Help getting SQL Developer to work

I'm just trying to get SQL Developer to work so I can use student databases. I have no intent of being a networker, and I definetly have no intent of failing this class because I can't do my homework.
Update.
Someone from my Java Class told me to restart the services related to Oracle. I attempted to do so, but got the following errors:

http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/32/clipboard02ro.jpg
I believe the TNSListener service is the main problem (seeing as when I try to open the database I get an error saying "TNSListener service is not running.") So I looked that up, and it said to check sqlnet.log:

And now I'm stuck again. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Oh right. I did change the port in an attempt to get Scott to work.
Changed back to port 1521, but still no luck.
I think my problem has something to do with OracleDBConsoleorcl. I get Error Code 2 when I try to start that service up.
Although...my SERVERNAME_SID is 192.168.15.101_orcl (Directory: C:\app\Davidi\product\11.1.0\db_1\192.168.15.101_orcl)
Which was the IP Address ipconfig set up the day that SQL Developer was actually working. Of course, that IP Address changes every time you restart windows. My teacher suggested that I set up a static IP Address or try setting it to local host, but I really don't know how to do either of those.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

  • Help in SQL Developer

    Is there any context-sensitive help in SQL Developer. I'm looking for a way to link SQL syntax with some sort of a Help function. Searching the SQL Reference pdf just doesn't cut it. For example, when I search the SQL Reference pdf for Round, I get 134 hits. I would look for a page or 2 on how to use Round, with examples, but accessible directly from SQL Developer.

    No there isn't.
    There's a rejected feature request for this at the Exchange (http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42626:39:947182819474243::NO::P39_ID:5662), so chances are very small it ever makes it in.
    Nevertheless, you can still vote and add comments there; if there's enough weight on an item it will eventually make it for the TODO list.
    Including the doc isn't necessary, but just linking to the correct page would save a lot of time. In the case of ROUND, on pressing F1 inside the code editor or worksheet, sqldev could link directly to the SQL reference (http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/functions135.htm).
    If the team doesn't want to put it in, maybe someone else does. It would make a nice extension... if you feel up for it?

  • SQL Developer wont work via SSL (TCPS)

    I am trying to get SQL Developer (1.5.1) to connect to our Oracle database using SSL (tcps -- port 2484) and am getting a very generic error. (I have no error connecting to the same database over the unencrypted port -- 1521).
    Status: Failue - Test failed: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection.
    I personally think that the connection is timing out, but all logging/debuggig features I can find do not prove anything either way. I have successfully connected to the database via SSL using tnsping and sqlplus. I have also successfully imported the certificate from the database server into the cacerts file in sqldeveloper/jdk/jre/lib/security This error is the same whether I use my TNSNAMES file or a custom JDBC url.
    Please reply if you have questions/ideas/solutions.
    Thanks, Dan
    block from TNSNAMES.ora
    TEST =

    WALLET_LOCATION =
    (SOURCE =
    (METHOD = FILE)
    (METHOD_DATA =
    (DIRECTORY = C:\oracle\certs)
    )

    This has helped, but I am not 100% there.
    After altering my setting to use OCI/Thick driver and upgrading to 11g client, (and verifying that I could sqlplus/tnsping/odbc as before) the following happens:
    When testing the connection or trying to connect with tnsnames method, the dialog box comes up just telling me it's testing/connecting, and never stops trying (and therefore also never fails).
    This also happens when I try to connect via a custom JDBC URL,
    BUT
    When I test the connection using the same JDBC URL, I 'succeed' -- so I must be close.
    My Custom JDBC URL is
    jdbc:oracle:oci:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcps)
    (HOST=hostname.fqdn)(PORT=2484))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=test))
    (SECURITY =(SSL_SERVER_CERT_DN="CN=hostname.fqdn, OU=My Unit, O=My University, L=City, ST=State, C=US")))
    What might I be missing?
    Thank you.

    There's a +\sqldeveloper\system1.5.1.54.40\o.ide.11.1.1.0.22.49.42\windowinglayout.xml+ under your user profile. Deleting that should revert illegal positions (as it may have got pushed off screen).
    You can also delete the whole +\sqldeveloper+ folder (or selective subfolders) to reset everything to factory defaults...

  • How can I get SQL Developer working on Windows 7 64-bit

    Hi all,
    I've followed the download instructions for SQL Developer v4 as per the download page (
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/sqldev-download-v4-1925679.html
    Install instructions: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/sqldev-install-windows-1969674.html
    I've  installed SQL Developer requires JDK 7 (jdk-7u25-windows-x64.exe) - with no issues.
    I've also downloaded and unziped to sqldeveloper-4.0.0.12.27-no-jre.zip to C:\Program Files\
    SQL Developer successfully starts, but when I try to connect to a data source, I get the following error:
    Status : Failure -Test failed: C:\Oracle11g\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN\ocijdbc11.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform.
    can any tell me how I fix this issue........... I getting fed up using clunky toad

    You're trying to use a 32 bit Oracle Client with 64 bit SQL Developer.
    You're doing something in SQL Developer that's requiring us to load OCI - in your connection properties, use Network Alias instead of Connect Identifier for TNS, or make sure in your Advanced settings you don't have 'Use OCI/Thick driver' enabled.
    Or, install a 64 bit copy of the Oracle Client and tell SQL Developer to use that home instead.

  • Where to find help with SQL Developer installation?

    Hi,
    I just want to try out SQL Developer and compare its capabilities to TOAD's. Unfortunately, I am not PC software savvy and now am stuck with a SQL Developer (sqldeveloper-1.2.2998) installation problem. When I clicked on the .exe file, I got a blank SQL Developer screen - there is nothing in the screen except a heading that reads 'Oracle SQL Developer'...
    Does anyone know of a blog or a site that I can get some help with problems like mine?
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Hi,
    SQL Developer forum link:
    "http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=260"
    There are 2 versions of SQL Developer, with/without JRE.
    Try out the full install version with JRE.

  • Profiler in SQL Developer not working

    When I run the profiler in SQL developer , I get the following error.
    "Directory exists; check if /tmp exists on file system, and oracle has permission to write there. "
    This error sounds like an UNIX error but I am running SQL developer on Windows 7 (64) OS. Has anyone seen this or knows how to get around it.
    Thanks so much..

    Hi,
    According to the SQL Developer 3.1.04.72 documentation, the "get" command (among others) is not supported:
    Help|Table of Contents|SQL Developer Concepts and Usage|Using the SQL Worksheet|SQL*Plus Statement Supported and Not Supported...
    so options are limited. If sqlplus is accessible and using it as an "external tool" won't conflict entirely with local policy, these links might interest you:
    Re: sqlplus vs sqldeveloper
    Easy Connect and sqldev.conn issues
    Otherwise you may add a feature request for this on the SQL Developer and see if such an enhancement is a priority for the community.

  • Sql developer not working which i got when i installed oracle 11g on win7

    Hi i successfully instaled my oracle 11g on windows 7,but when iam trying to use my sql developer chich i got by default with 11g is not working ..when i open it its asking me for "select the path of java.exe file" when i browse and given the right path .iits again giving me the same pop and not throughing any error msg at least.
    Could u pls help me out on this??

    Well, not supported does not necessarly mean does not work, but if you have problem, then your only way is to find a solution on your own or through other fellows who are doing the same.
    Anyway, you could ask your question in the SQL Developer dedicated forum, but again, you could have some unexpected issues by working on non-supported config :

  • Help getting streaming audio to work?

    I am a new user to Mac OS as of a few weeks ago. I'm making the transition fairly well.
    Using Safari, I can't get streaming audio to work on my hometown radio show.
    Here's the link to the home page... http://www.kdkaradio.com/ Near the top right of the page is a button to listen live.
    I read somewhere that you have to have Windows Media Player installed and I did that and it still doesn't work. I thought you might need a plugin with Firefox and I can't get it to work either.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Thank you,

    Glad to hear the transition is easy. You might find
    Scott Kelby's book
    OS X Tiger: Killer
    Tips helpful.
    To your question:
    Windows Media Player does not play natively on Intel
    machines. You need to use the free
    Flip4Mac plug-in as a
    substitute for WMP. Microsoft has stated they do not
    plan to create a Universal Binary app. for the
    Windows Media Player.
    On my machine:
    No go on Safari. When I select "live" I get to the
    page showing a template of a music player, but no
    sound.
    On Firefox, a separate sound panel opens, however,
    the feed stops before sound occurs. Strange though,
    the various highlight feeds do play with no problem.
    I suggest you contact the web developer at the
    station for clarification regarding the Mac
    platform, and just what is compatible with their
    content stream.
    I'm using Flip4Mac in place of WMP.
    Thank you very much for your help and support.
    I uninstalled Windows Medial Player and installed Flip Mac.
    I'll have to check out your book suggestion.
    I am still getting the same error, page not found when trying to listen live. All the other feeds work fine. I emailed the radio station to see if they could resolve the problem.
    Thanks again,

  • 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).

  • SQL Developer Not Working "no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path"

    Hi,
    I have Oracle 10g with SQL Developer 3.0 on Windows XP, they worked well untill I just installed Oracle ODBC (ODAC101040.exe). I started to receive error message "no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path" and I am no longer able to use SQL Developer.
    Any solution?

    Check on the envirnment variables on the windows. Once you installed the "Oracle ODBC" it might have replaced the Old env. variables that can found in XP "System Properties> advance tab> environment Variables". Make sure you have the right environment variables that point to right directory locations. Update us with your findings.

    I have searched and Googled and found very little about enabling temporary guest access on an AEBS.

It appears that the device seeking access is supposed to supply it somehow and then I type it in while using the Airport Utility. I see no such number on the device. I also tried the "first one to try" method and got nowhere.
    In both cases I was using an iPhone that wanted to use my network. Does this work with iPhones?
