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?

  • Accessing online help in Sql developer

    For some reason I have lost the ability to access Help in Sql Developer. Nothing happenx when I click on the "Table of Contents" in the Help menu. I un and re installed Sql Developer, but thie problem remains.
    My OS is vista 32 bit.
    Thanks

    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...
    Hope that helps,

  • 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.

  • 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:

    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 debugging SQL Developer extension

            // Add context menus

    The class that implements the selected MenuAction is:

        // Action to do at launch
        private String action;

  • Need help from SQL Developer users

    I’d like to run Decision Tree models in SQL Developer for monthly predications after running in ODM manually.
    I created PL/SQL Packages under Tools from ODM, and compiled them in SQL Developer successfully. According to Oracle documents, I should be able to run the same DT models (using create or replace PACKAGE BODY "DATAMININGACTIVITY1" .......). However, I am unable to run the entire “Package Body” or any part of it. One of the error messages shows "The select program is in an invalid state for running". I also tried to use "Call" to call functions to run my SQL Package, but that didn't work either. So far, the only SQL works for me is to create a view from a table.
    Please share how you use SQL to run models. Thanks, DC

    In PL/SQL Block you will see something like below.
    In the most simple case you need to supply to arguments ( see bold )
    CASE_TABLE := *'YOUR_TABLE_NAME_FOR_MODEL_BUILD'*;
    MODEL_NAME := *'MODEL_NAME_FOR_YOUR_NEW_MODEL';*
    That would be enough to build a model.

  • Need help with SQL developer settings

    Hi Folks,
    I am trying to access a schema via a user (with read-only privilages). What this means is that off the command line interface, I have to pre-qualify all my tables using the schema name. E.g. desc schema_name.table_1 etc.
    When I connect to the schema via SQL developer, I do not see any tables. Are there any settings in the SQL developer that will automatically add the pre-qualifier before each table ?
    BTW, I am using Oracle SQL Developer version 2.1.1.64 and my database is 10g.
    Thanks in advance
    rogers42

    The Tables node only lists your own tables. For others' objects, use the Other Users node.
    Alternatively, you can assign synonyms to other users' objects to list them in your own tree.
    Have fun,

    Hi,
    This seems similar to a side-issue noted in this thread...
    ObjectViewer (data grid) paste error
    The solution for that specific issue was to copy the ojdbc6.jar from the instant client to the SQL Developer installation's
    .../sqldeveloper/jdbc/lib directoryNot certain if that is the exact equivalent on a Mac, but there you have the general approach.
    Hope this helps,

  • Trouble installing/using SQL Developer on Windows 2008 R2

    I need help installing sql developer.
    I am running Windows 2008 R2.
    I tried installing the 64 bit version, and when it asked for the path to the JDK, it complains that it doesn't exists. Can someone PLEASE point me to which JDK I need to install?
    I tried installing the 32 bit versionand it installs fine, but then gives me the error that it can't load AMD 64-bit dll on a IA 32 bit platform.
    PLEASE HELP. How can I run SQL Developer on Windows 2008 R2?
    Links to the exact versions of what to install would be very very helpful.
    Thank you!

    The versions required are in the release notes.
    If you install the 64-bit SQLDeveloper you need a 64-bit JDK.
    If you install the 32-bit SQLDeveloper you need a 32-bit JDK.
    If your operating is 32-bit, you need a 32-bit SQLDeveloper.
    Note that you need a JDK not a JRE

  • SQL Developer 3.2 - Connection reset

    Hi, I've installed SQL Developer 3.2 build MAIN-09.30 under Windows 7 64 bit and Client 11g 64 bit.
    Wherever server I try to connect, when I click on a table I have the connection reset and it tries to fetch data with no success, i.e. the Results display show with the gauge moving and nothing more, while in backgroup I have a message box that suggets to reset the connection. If I stop task and choose some other thing, such as data, I can see tha data inside the table. Getting back to Columns, I have to click on refresh button but I don't see anything.
    More, I have the following errors:
    SEVERE     51     2348     oracle.dbtools.db.DBUtil     Avvertenza. Eccezione non gestita: Errore di I/O: Size Data Unit (SDU) mismatch.
    SEVERE     50     22991     oracle.dbtools.db.DBUtil     Avvertenza. Eccezione non gestita: Errore di I/O: Size Data Unit (SDU) mismatch.
    "Avvertenza. Eccezione non gestita: Errore di I/O" is italian for Warning: Unhandled exception: I/O Error
    Can U help me please???
    Thanks a lot
    Edited by: user10660511 on 4-set-2012 7.58 - Added errors

    Hi,
    The case you describe is not familiar to me, but you may want to review this thread with a similar error:
    java.sql.SQLRecoverableException Io exception Size Data Unit (SDU) mismatch
    The comment there about a "recent JDBC driver upgrade to ojdbc6.jar" is interesting. I encountered a different error within the past couple weeks (can't recall exactly what), but noticed that the ojdbc6 jar files in 64-bit SQL Developer 3.2.09 and Instant Client's do not match. The SQL Developer jar is newer. Copying the one from the Instant Client (11.2.0.3) and replacing the SQL Developer version (supposedly 11.2.0.3 also) fixed whatever issue I faced. Comparing the manifest.mf files shows this:
    ojdbc6.jar from SQLDeveloper 3.2.09.23 64-bit -> Repository-Id: JAVAVM_11.2.0.3.0_LINUX.X64_110829
    ojdbc6.jar from Instant Client 11.2.0.3   64-bit  -> Repository-Id: JAVAVM_11.2.0.4.0_LINUX_120621This is just my best guess at this point.

  • ADD a new connection to sql developer

    Hi,
    i downloaded the sql developer from the main site .i tried to adding a new connection.it showed the error no network adapter found .
    first let me confirm one thing the database name and username,password are predefined ones are should i need to create those any before using these.
    please let me know .i am struggling with this since a week.
    Thanks in advance.
    sreeram

    Hi Sreeram,
    The "no network adapter found" message seems more like a Windows setup/configuration issue. If you really meant some other error instead, perhaps like
    The network adapter could not establish the connectionthen the following may shed some light:
    Re: SQL developer download - unable to connect
    So in fact you do need a database to access, either local or remote. The act of installing a database locally will create "predefined" usernames with passwords you can override.
    Hope this helps,

    Now when I launch SQL Developer, I see that no connections are displayed. Instead there are these three messages indicating an error. Can you please advice on how to resolve this?
    Thanks,
    Errors:
    SEVERE     44     0     oracle.jdeveloper.db.DatabaseConnections     DatabaseConnections has no JNDI context so cannot list connections.
    SEVERE     43     36     oracle.jdevimpl.db.adapter.DefaultContextWrapper     Failed to create naming Context for db connections at url: file:/home/user/.sqldeveloper/system3.1.07.42/o.jdeveloper.db.connection.11.1.1.4.37.59.48/connections.xml

    Hi uparthas,
    Here is a similar thread (Windows 7) marked as answered, and may be applicable to a Linux environment if you are using jdk1.7 rather than jdk1.6:
    Lost my connections.
    If that does not solve the issue, you might also wish to ...
    1. Exit SQL Developer
    2. Delete or rename the /home/user/.sqldeveloper/system3.1.07.42 directory
    3. Launch SQL Developer, perhaps without choosing to migrate settings from a prior install.
    Hope this helps,

  • Error in accessing SQL Developer

    Hi,
    I am using Windows Xp-32 bit system and I have installed SQL developer 3.2.20.09.87.I have installed both jdk 1.6 and jdk 1.7 but when i am opening it this error is coming:-
    Unable to create an instance of the java virtual machine Located at Path:..\..\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
    Earlier there was no such problem in using the same version but now suddenly this error is coming.
    please advise what to do for the above problem.
    Thanks
    Mahesh

    Hi Mahesh,
    Make sure you point at a 32-bit 1.6 JDK in the SetJavaHome line of your
    <SQLDev_Home>\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf file. Alternately, delete that SetJavaHome line so you will get prompted to browse for it on next SQL Developer start-up.
    If you had downloaded the Windows 32-bit - zip file includes the JDK1.6.0_35 from
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html
    you would never get prompted -- the default SetJavaHome line points at the JDK included in the download.
    Hope this helps,

  • Want commands running in the back ground in sql developer

    HI all,
    I am new user to oracle sql developer. i started using it and found interseting. It is very easy just using the GUI interfaces. what ever i need to do i can do using the GUI interfaces instead of using commnads. makes my work easier. BUt there starts my concern
    if i continue to use the tools one day i will not know the commands which are executed actually.
    Is there any way throught which i can look what every that commands or queries that are executed in the back ground for my instruction in the foreground

    Hi,
    If you truly wish to see all the SQL and PL/SQL executed for a given connection, you can try the following:
    1. Tools -> Monitor Sessions...
    2. Select a connection for a user with appropriate privileges (e.g., must be able to run DBMS_MONITOR)
    3. In the list of sessions, right-click on a session of interest, select Trace Session and click Apply
    4. After completing the desired activity on the connection of interest, close the connection.
    5. Open the trace file in SQL Developer (File -> Open, or drag and drop it) -- make sure the Filter drop-down is set to All -- to see the SQL.
    6. Pick one of the four tabbed views of the trace file data: List, Tree, Statistics, History
    Step 5 is easy if the DB is local. For example, with Oracle 10g Xe on Windows, look for the most recent trc file in a directory like
    C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\admin\XE\udumpFor a remote DB you would need to copy the trc onto a shared network drive or ftp it to your local machine.
    If you just wish to see DDL commands as you manipulate DB object definitions from the Connection Navigator tree or the Object Viewer Actions list, the UI usually provides a SQL tab so that you may view the SQL before clicking the Apply button.
    Hope this helps,

  • SQL*Developer 'Query Results' Not Displaying

    I have just recently installed SQL*Developer v3.2.2 and after I run a SQL query the tab 'Query Result' tab is not displayed. I have tried to show this tab and to use the arrow keys at the bottom of the screen to display this screen but I cannot view the query results. I have used v1.5.1 in the past and know that it should display when after running a query and can be resized if required but I cannot seem to show it is v3.2.2

    Hi,
    Yes, I did install to a clean directory. I have even deleted all contents of the directory and re downloaded
    the software again to the same directory but this did not work either it still remembered the original settings.Keep in mind there are two locations that an installation updates:
    1. The SQL Developer installation directory (which you deleted).
    2. The User-Related Information (in your "user home" directory), which is updated by the settings migration
    Perhaps Jim meant you should also remove the user settings for the last SQL Developer version installed and possibly even avoid migrating the old 1.5.x settings when you first start SQL Developer after that. See the following forum thread, probably unrelated to your situation, but containing where to find the location of user-related information in the Help:
    Re: IDE issue - Query Result grid is not selectable or scrollable
