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...

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

  • How to use SQL Developer Debugger

  • 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.

  • 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.

    what version are you using? Sql Dev 1.5?
    Not an exact answer, but you could try using Table FILTER
    click on your connection
    right button on TABLES
    click apply filter

  • 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.

  • How to upgrade SQL Developer from 1.1. to 1.5?

    Hello,
    I downloaded 1.5 and tried starting it in order to upgrade from 1.1 which came with the Oracle 11g package.
    It shows the splash screen briefly then it disappears.
    How can I install/upgrade it?
    Thanks,
    Gabor

    Hello Jim,
    Thanks for the response.
    I did what you suggested. Yes, it does open the console window and tons of messages scroll through it while the splash screen is shown. The both the console window and the splash screen disappear and that's it.
    The OS is XP SP2.
    The exact version of SQL Developer is 1.5.1.54.40.

  • How to install SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.1.1 for Mac OS X?

    How do I install SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.1.1 for Mac OS X? I downloaded the file "datamodeler-3.1.1-703-macosx.gz" from OTN, but there is only a single file inside this archive - "datamodeler-3.1.1-703-macosx". What am I missing here?
    Thanks in advance...

    Extract that file and then run it.
    Once you installed the tool to your Applications folder (if you choose to move it to Applications), you'll need to install Java (maybe).
    What version of OS X are you on?
    In a command window/terminal, type 'java -version'
    If you get something back like 'java version "1.6..." then you're all good.
    If you're on Mountain Lion, then type 'java' instead. That should download java for you.
    Once you've got java available, then launch SQL Developer Data Modeler.

  • Problems Starting SQL developer

    Hi Guys,
    I'm new to using oracle through Lynx.
    I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx.
    I have installed Oracle 11g R1.
    I have successfully installed oracle, created and connected to the DB. I have exported HR and OE schemas from a windows machine and imported to my Lynx based database successfully.
    So Oracle is working correctly though SQLplus.
    My problem is when I start using SQLDeveloper.
    When I go to "/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/sqldeveloper"; and run the sqldeveloper.sh it seems to open fine, I see the GUI.
    My problem is that we I try to create a new connection I am getting errors.
    The GUI says: The network adaptor could not establish a connection.
    Whereas the terminal states...

    OpenJDK Server VM (build 16.0-b13, mixed mode)
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Could you past output from
    lsnrctl statusOracle can work fine via SQLPlus locally, but if services are not visible via listener you can't connect to database from client like SQLDeveloper.
    Your GUI started so it's not a problem of your java - it's rather something missing in your database installation.
