How to start sql developer(1.1) on mac osx

After download and unzip it, just double-click the sqldeveloper icon, doesn't it?
But after i double-click it, there is an icon on the bottom for a while, very soon. then it disappears.
Any help will be highly apprecaited!!!

Hi
I've got the same error starting SQL Developer 1.1.2 on mac os 10.4.9. In my case this was because I've had a blank in the path.
I've initialy located my SQL Developer on a USB Stick with the name "no name" which was mounted on /Volumes/no name path to SQL Dev was /Volume/no name/oracle/sqldeveloper/......
After changing the name of the stick to noname the path has changed to /Volume/noname/oracle/sqldeveloper/.....
and then everything worked fine.
An other hint, If you copy sqldeveloper.sh into sqldeveloper.command you may start the Developer with a double click.
By the way, I'm using the multiplattform package of the SQL Developer and put it on a USB Stick. I'm now able to take one copy of SQL Developer and Configuration with me and start it on Mac OS and/or Windows.
Regards
Stefan

How to start SQL Developer for 11g in Oracle Enterpirze Linux

How to start sql developer

Hi,
I installed the oracle 11 free version in my windows machine couple of days ago. I guess I have forgotten my SID. And now when I am trying to open a connection using sql developer, a dialog pops asking for connection, user, password etc. But I am not sure what to use for connection field. I thought may be I have to use the SID entered during installation. But I have already forgotten that SID. In that circumstances, how to connect to a database using sql developer? I would really appreciate some help.
Thanks.

another way to find out your sid could be to just look in your database folders
...\product\11.1.0\db_1\computername_sid
os if your computername is oracleserver and your service id is orasid then your folder should be
...\product\11.1.0\db_1\oracleserver_orasid
the same is for the folder
...\product\11.1.0\db_1\oc4j\j2ee\OC4J_DBConsole_oracleserver _orasid
there is the case that instead of your computer name in the second folder you would see localhost
i apologize for writing someting not eligible to the forums guidelines as has been noticed by another attendee.
but it was a joke anw...

It appears the SVN plug-in is giving you troubles, normally you should be able to disable it from
Tools -> Preferences -> Extensions -> Versioning SupportAssuming you do not need it.
Since your system is no longer starting you might have to manually remove the related jar file from the installation, this file is usually located in:
[SQLDev_install_dir]/jdev/extensionsand it's name is:
oracle.jdeveloper.subversion.jar

MSVCR100.dll missing on your computer when starting SQL Developer

Hello,
I receive the error MSVCR100.dll is missing on your computer when I try to start SQL Developer.
I completed the following installations:
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- Oracle DB Express Edition
- Java JDK 1.7.0_02
When I now try to start SQL Developer I receive the error message that MSVRC100.dll is missing on my computer.
Does anybody experience the same problem and how can it be resolved.
Thanks
Bernd

Hi,
Not sure what happened to that link, but I as far as I know it should make absolutely no difference for security purposes if one chooses the latest Java 7 update or the the latest Java 6 update. I would guess both code lines are patched to same level.
Perhaps you are referring to recent press about vulnerabilities in Java 7 updates _06 and _07? Those issues only apply to browser plug-ins, totally unrelated to SQL Developer, and those can be disabled easily without removing Java.
The official recommendation is to use the latest Java 6 update (jdk1.6.0-35) for SQL Developer. We recommend avoiding Java 7 due to bugs, but bugs unrelated to security.

Gary

Help with starting sql developer

Hi everyone
I have had oracle express and sql developer on my laptop before untill my hard drive went, now iv installed them again but when I start sql developer I make a new connection then go to create a new user, but when I click create new user, there is no list under the "Roles" tab as there should be, its just a blank grey screen. Has anyone had this problem before who might be able to help?
I am kind of in a rush because I need it for a college assesment on monday so any help will be really appreciated:)
Thanks
Ryan

Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you post you need to provide the full sql developer that you are using and all of the details about what you are doing and the problem you are having.
You haven't provided the version, what user you are connnecting as, what type of connection it is (normal, sysdba), the type of connection you are connecting as (thin, oci), the JDBC jar version if using one, the Oracle client or server versions.

Problems in starting SQL Developer in Linux

Dear Friends,
I cannot start SQL Developer in Fedora Core 5 Linux Enviroment. I do not know what exactly is the problem. so Please see the Snap shot the Problem. It Refrains from inspite of it showing as if to Open. On windows it works fine.
Snap Shot starts here
[oracle@sydney sqldeveloper]$ sh sqldeveloper
Oracle SQL Developer 1.0
Copyright (c) 2005 Oracle Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
Working directory is /home/oracle/sqldeveloper/jdev/bin
Ends Here
Please give me a Solution
Regards,
Sydney.

I had a problem getting it to run in Ubuntu when launching from an XFCE launcher. Basically the file sqldeveloper doesn't work. What I did was to copy sqldeveloper to SQLDeveloper, change the ./ to the full path ( in my case /home/username/sqldeveloper/ ), then launch SQLDeveloper instead of sqldeveloper. Then it all worked fine.

Small bug and fix starting SQL Developer on Mac OS X

I couldn't find anyone else mentioning this so I'll write it in.
If I started SQL Developer in one user I couldn't start it again in another user, even after quitting out of the first. I would double click the icon and it would do the animated "zoom" but then nothing.
I tracked it down to a problem in SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/MacOS/sqldeveloper.sh. When it redirects the output of the call to the start scipt in the /sqldeveloper/bin directory it would fail because the /tmp/sqldeveloper-startup.log was owned by the first user to start the App (since the /tmp was cleared anyway). My umask didn't give it permission to start overwriting that file.
To fix it I changed the last line in SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/MacOS/sqldeveloper.sh to:
bash ./sqldeveloper >/tmp/sqldeveloper-startup.$$.log
so that the PID was now part of the name and each initiation of SQL Developer would have its own.
You could also change the last line to:
bash ./sqldeveloper >$(mktemp /tmp/sqldeveloper-startup.log.XXXXX)
which would guarantee more uniqueness but wouldn't let you know which process was using the file.
Savvy Mac users can edit the script themselves by right-clicking on the SQLDeveloper.app and selecting "Show Package Contents". You may have to temporarily change the file permissions to let you edit it.
For the record I'm running SQL Developer 1.2.0 on a Mac TiBook G4 867MHz with Mac OS X 10.4.10 and 1Gb RAM (and it is still maddeningly slow because Java fundamentally sucks).
-Bion

Ok - I think I found it.
Go into ~/Library/Application Support/SQL Developer/system1.5.3.57.83/o.ide.11.1.1.0.22.49.44 (or similar for whatever version you're running) and edit the settings.xml file there.
Look for a block that looks like:
<Item class="oracle.javatools.util.Pair">
<first class="java.lang.String">delete-previous</first>
<second class="oracle.ide.keyboard.KeyStrokes">
<data>
<Item class="javax.swing.KeyStroke">[0]</Item>
</data>
</second>
</Item>
and change it to:
<Item class="oracle.javatools.util.Pair">
<first class="java.lang.String">delete-previous</first>
<second class="oracle.ide.keyboard.KeyStrokes">
<data>
<Item class="javax.swing.KeyStroke">[8]</Item>
</data>
</second>
</Item>
I'm not sure why, but this file seems to always contain the incorrect keystroke value when I do a fresh install of SQL Developer. I always have to go in and change that value by hand. I've tried choosing any number of the accelerator presets, but none of them make the delete key work.

Serious UI issues in SQL Developer 4.0 for Mac

I've encountered some serious UI issues in SQL Developer 4.0 for Mac (4.0.0.13) that impact it up to the point where it becomes unusable.
If the database and tables are expanded in the "Connections" view, sometimes a node in the tree seems to become sticky. Whenever you scroll the up or down, it will immediately scroll back to make the old selection visible again. If you want to work with an item that's outside the current view (e.g. to collapse the "Tables" node), you can no longer use it. SQL Developer needs to be restarted.
If the context menu is opened (ctrl click), it appears in the wrong place. It's too far to the right and bottom. If you then move the mouse pointer towards the menu, a rectangle appears and follows the mouse pointer as if you had initiated a drag and drop operation.
If the "Data" tab of a table is selected and if a cell is clicked to edit the cell value, the text cursor is drawn in the wrong position. It can be off by more than one character and it is often drawn in the middle of a character instead of between two characters. It's hardly possible to edit the cell value as you cannot tell for sure where insertions and deletions will happen. You basically need to copy the value into a separate editor, edit it there and copy it back.
The scrolling in the "Data" tab of a table is a pain. For no obvious reason, it first scrolls downwards a few rows and then jumps to the top (at least using a Magic Mouse). If all rows have been loaded, this problem seems to disappear. But generally, the scrolling distance is far too short. With a long finger swipe, one would expect to scroll the contents by several pages. However, it only scrolls about half a page. For shorter swipes, it's similar. It sometimes only scrolls by a few pixels.
Am I the only one to experience these severe problems? Or is the Mac version not as mature as the Windows version yet?

In terms of diagnosis, perhaps not -- probably very time-consuming to debug. I did find some unpublished bugs against dual monitor use ...
Bug 13727841 - FORUM: 64BIT WIN7 SOME DIALOGS SHOW ON DISPLAY 1 WHEN SQLDEV ON DISPLAY 2
Bug 18504928 - NEW CONSTRAINT UI MENU IN TABLE DIALOG AT WRONG LOCATION ON DUAL MONITOR
The first turned out to be an issue in the 64-bit Java AWT libraries, not the 32-bit libraries, and specifically for Windows 7 as opposed to, say XP, but this was all quite a bit in the past and was fixed for 4.0. The second one (on 64-bit Linux), however, just came in yesterday, so you can wait to see if a fix for that also covers your situation or, if you are able, pursue it directly with Oracle Support.

How can I download a dvd on my mac osx 10.7.4?

How can I download a dvd on my mac osx 10.7.4?

I am assumming these DVDs are your own personal property and are NOT rented or borrowed DVDs.
Once again, assuming that you own these DVDs, I recommend using Mac DVDRipper Pro to extract the content from your PERSONAL DVDs. I have it installed on my computer and it rips DVD's at maximum speed and uses very little processing power.
You can find more info. about Mac DVDRipper Pro at the following link...

HOW TO: Open SQL Developer from a batch file with specific tables opened

I use SQL Developer daily as I develop database intensive programs.
** Question **
How can I define a specific configuration of tabs (i.e. tables, procedures, etc) to be opened upon startup of SQL Developer?
For example, creating a .BAT file to open SQL Developer with a specific set of table tabs already opened. This will save me the time every morning I use to open SQL Developer and configure all the tables I need opened.
NOTE: I have tried various options of appending a table name to a command line starting sqldeveloper.exe. For example: ..\sqldeveloper.exe mydatabase.mytable. However, this only opens a worksheet tab with the name "mydatabase.mytable" but does not open my actual table.
Any help will be appreciated.

How to connect sql developer OE schema and Hr schema,

Hi ,
I downloaded Oracle 10g express edition and SQL developer downloaded in my computer, I don't know how to connect to OE and HR schema, by default the SQL developer and Oracle 10g has only sytem and sys database. And as well I wanted to migrate datas from third party datas , could anyone please , pllease guide me. I am new to this field and just started to learn. what is listener and how to activate Listener and Repositary
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance
Chan

The HR schema installs fine in XE, but the OE schema doesn't quite. I've done it, but there will be errors. The reason is that the OE schema uses some features of XML DB that are not supported in XE. If you want to use the OE schema in XE and you don't mind if it isn't a complete OE schema, then you can get the installation scripts from an Oracle SE or EE installation.
You can also get it from the companion disk for Oracle SE or EE, but this is a bit challenging, because you can't get it by running OUI unless you first install Oracle SE or EE. You need to run an archive utility like WinZip or 7-Zip and look for the scripts inside a compressed file - I forget which one, but I'll look it up if you like. Oh, and since the OE schema isn't really supposed to be installed on XE, Oracle does not support any of the methods for putting it there.
