Integration of  SQL Developer and Data Modelling - concerns.

In aanother thread about OSDM connections, I commented that the development team for OSDM and the core product seem to separate and Sue responded.
Sue Harper wrote:
A clarification of the Data Modeling feedback application and this forum. The developers are part of the SQL Developer development team, but as for all our features, each developer has a focus area, so the Data Modeling developers will tend to answer those questions. The reason I said that they seem to be separate as that ODSM seems to be put together completely differently. I hit another example today. I downloaded a fresh copy of osdm without JDK. On starting it up, it complained it couldn't find a jre and quit. There was no prompt to specify the location as there is with SQLDevloper and there are no configuration files to edit.
SQLDeveloper already has issues with different components doing the same differently. The number of problems has been reduced but it has taken some time and I am concerned that the introduction of a large body of new code will cause things to revert to the bad old days in terms of quality.
I may or may not end up using OSDM, but I want to have the choice. I don't want components I don't use becoming part of the application and adding bloat. The migration components are a case in point. The "migration workbench" ought to be a completely separate add-in rather than a core component and I hope this is down with OSDM.

Jim,
"I don't want components I don't use becoming part of the application and adding bloat." Absolutely. and we agree. SQL Developer Data Modeling will be a separate standalone product so that users who don't want to use SQL Developer, but who do want to model will have that option. The nice thing about an integrated solution is that if you are doing database work and then want to do some modeling, you are in one tool. Our current plans are to release the standalone product in the initial production release and then follow that with the extension to SQL Developer depending on the customer demand. We do plan to release a read only viewer as part of SQL Developer 2.0. This will be an extension, which like the Migration extension, you can switch off. and from your note, you'd prefer the reverse, that these new extensions are pieces you choose to include and not choose to exclude.
I'm not certain we'll get agreement on this, but I'll be interested. Just this morning I was updating a thread were the request was for all the pieces to be there working out of the box.

  • Links for SQL Developer and Data Modeler not working?

    Hi folks,
    I tried to access the new SQL Developer and Data Modeler links posted in the April 1 message (and on the Oracle site) from a couple of machines with no luck (empty zip files) - is there an update to the links?
    Thanks!

  • Same icons for objects in SQL Developer as Data Modeler

    Hello,
    would it be possible to display the same icons for objects in SQL Developer as Data Modeler?
    For example:
    - in SQLD a session temporary table has the icon of a table with an X symbol, in Data Modeler it is just a table icon.
    - in SQLD a materialized view has the icon of a table with 2 arrows, in data Modeler it is just a table icon.
    Joop

    Hi Joop,
    I think you will find that in Data Modeler's Physical Model tree the same icons are used for temporary Tables and Materialized Views as in SQL Developer.

  • Using CVS in SQL Developer for Data Modeler changes.

    Hi,
    I am fairly new to SQL Developer Data Modeler and associated version control mechanisms.
    I am prototyping the storage of database designs and version control for the same, using the Data Modeler within SQL Developer. I have SQL Developer version 3.1.07.42 and I have also installed the CVS extension.
    I can connect to our CVS server through sspi protocol and external CVS executable and am able to check out modules.
    Below is the scenario where I am facing some issue:
    I open the design from the checked out module and make changes and save it. In the File navigator, I look for the files that have been modified or added newly.
    This behaves rather inconsistently in the sense that even after clicking on refresh button, sometimes it does not get refreshed. Next I try to look for the changes in Pending Changes(CVS) window. According to the other posts, I am supposed to look at the View - Data Modeler - Pending Changes window for data modeler changes but that shows up empty always( I am not sure if it is only tied to Subversion). But I do see the modified files/ files to be added to CVS under Versioning - CVS - Pending Changes window. The issue is that when I click on the refresh button in the window, all the files just vanish and all the counts show 0. Strangely if I go to Tools - Preferences - Versioning - CVS and just click OK, the pending changes window gets populated again( the counts are inconsistent at times).
    I believe this issue is fixed and should work correctly in 3.1.07.42 but it does not seem to be case.
    Also, I m not sure if I can use this CVS functionality available in SQL Dev for data modeler or should I be using an external client such as Wincvs for check in/ check out.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi Joop,
    I think you will find that in Data Modeler's Physical Model tree the same icons are used for temporary Tables and Materialized Views as in SQL Developer.

  • Sql Developer and Data Guard enabled instance

    I have version 1.1.2.25 SQL Developer and when I try to connect to Oracle 10gR2 instance which is data guard enabled and its logical standby it spits few message, and then connects, but data is not visible from any table.
    Is there any way to see data and other code while in logical standby instance which only in read only mode?
    Thanks.

    This problem came when I tried to connect to Oracle
    instance which is a logical standby in data guard
    setup. Eventually connection is made and then you can
    not see any object.
    In logical standby database its suppose to be read
    only and should be available for query.
    In TOAD you can see every thing and when you want to
    make any change ,it spits an error and wouldn't allow
    you to make any change.
    My question was, why SQL Developer is not showing the
    objects in the list and its contains.Perhaps we could help you if you told us what the error was.

  • SQL Developer with Data Modeler, No Design Menu Option

    Using SQL Developer 3.0.04 Build MAIN-04.34 with Data Modeler. I have created a logical design and wish to forward engineer this to a relational model.
    I cannot seem to find the Design Menu option to use the >> Engineer to Relational Model option which is available under the Design Menu on the Stand Alone version of SQL Developer Data Modeler.
    Have checked the following locations:
    Tools -> Data Modeler
    View -> Data Modeler
    File -> Data Modeler
    Right Click on my Logical Design
    I have ensure that all my entities have the Engineer To property set to a valid Relational Model.
    Is this a bug or am I missing a menu option / configuration setting?
    Thanks in advance for any help
    John

    Hi John,
    you can find ">> Engineer to Relational Mode" button among other buttons for logical diagram.

  • View jobs with SQL Developer and export to file with delimiter

    Hi,
    is there a way to view, create and alter my database jobs with SQL developer?
    And is it possible to export tables, views or simple queries to file delimited different from the CSV standard?
    Diego.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forum!!
    To select data from a table or a view you must use the SELECT sql command. Example to get the data from your view you can
    select ZMATNUM,ZMATCUR,ZMATATTR from ZMATERIALAs you have said you are using SQL Developer just execute the above query in your sql developer and it will show the data. Right click the grid and export the data to excel file.

  • SQL Developer and Blocking View of Other Users' Objects

    I am using SQL Developer in a classroom environment. My student users can “see” Other Users objects. They cannot modify, but none the less can see the structure and data.
    I only want the users to be able to see their own objects. Is there a privilege that needs to be revoked? (In using SQL Plus command line, this was not a problem.)
    Thanks.
    -Karen

    Karen,
    From sysdba account (sys/system). Run following and verify for that particular user grant is revoked. May be exit from sql developer and log back in or refresh view.
    YOu can also potenially revoke all the privs from all non admin uses i.e.r even connect/resource roles and grant them back.
    revoke select any table from yourschemaname;
    revoke connect from schemaname;
    revoke create session from  schemaname;
    revoke resource from schemaname;
    Then just grant privs as need basis
    grant connect to schemanme;
    grant resource to schemaname;
    grant create session to schemaname;
    ..Regards

  • Support of PL/SQL Functions in Data Modeler

    Hello,
    Sorry if this question has already been answered, I searched the forum but got 215 hits on data modeler + pl/sql functions.
    So my question is:
    Stored Procedures are already supported by the physical model (11g) of data modeler, but I could not find any method
    to create pl/sql functions via data modeler - neither in the documentation nor on the user interface. Is this
    currently not supported?

    Is this currently not supported?There will be support for functions and packages in next release.

  • Install Oracle XE, SQL Developer, and Toad on the same machine?

    I have been trying to install Oracle SQL Developer, Toad, and Oracle Express on my work computer. Installing SQL Developer and Toad was pretty straightforward, and I was able to browse the XE database with SQL Developer. But after installing Toad, problems started. Toad was using Oracle XE's registry settings to locate ORACLE_HOME and oci.dll. So I tried changing the settings for Oracle XE in the registry. Toad now works, but not Oracle XE. And while I was going through this all, I even had a time when I had Toad and oracle xe working, but not SQL Developer. It almost looks like you can choose two of the products, but not all three.
    So, my question to the community at large is "Can it be done?". In what directories do you have each product installed? What environment variables do you have set? Where is your tnsnames.ora? What Oracle registry settings do you have set (namely HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE)?
    I can post my current settings, but I've been through so many iterations that these current settings don't really matter that much.
    Here are the details I am looking for
    Path to sqldeveloper.exe
    Path to oracle.exe (for Oracle XE)
    Environment Variables
    ORACLE_HOME
    ORACLE_BASE
    TNS_ADMIN
    PATH (just the oracle stuff)
    Registry Settings
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\ORACLE_HOME
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\ORACLE_BASE
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\TNS_ADMIN
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\OLEDB
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\ORAMTS_CP_TRACE_DIR

    I don't use toad, but there should be no reason why you can't install all 3. SQL Developer is a very clean install and affects nothing else. It doesn't add to the path, or create any registry entries except for file associations.
    A toad installation should pick up your oracle client (in this case the XE code). I am curious as to why you felt you had to change registry settings. What problem were you trying to fix?
    My recommendation would be to uninstall everything, clean the registry and reinstall in the order XE, Toad, SQL Developer. Test in between installations and seek help for problems as you find them. Bear in mind that this is the forum for SQL Developer. QUestions about Oracle XE would be better answered in the dedicated forum, or in the Installation forum, and questions about Toad in a toad forum.

  • Discoverer and Data Modeler Integration

    Discoverer has the ability to load tables or views into BA from Designer Dictionary. Is there such an ability with Data Modeler or Oracle SQL Developer?

    Hello
    Interesting question. As far as I know this is not possible. You might want to ask Oracle Support though as it may be something that has not been tried yet works.

  • Report locale, subtemplates and Data Model

    Hi,
    I have the following situation:
    We have 4 templates according to language, with french the default language:
    - FR: template.rtf
    - NL: template_nl.rtf
    - DE: template_de.rtf
    - EN: template_en.rtf
    The report locale is enough for BI Publisher to select the correct template, so that's OK.
    Some data from our database is also based on locale (eg street names and cities).
    Question 1: is it possible to use the current locale as parameter for the (sql) data model in some way (eg by using a specific parameter name)? For now we set the report locale to the correct language AND we send that same value through as a parameter. It would be cleaner to just set the report locale and be able to use that value in some way.
    Question 2: all of the above templates have a footer that's being reused, each also share the same data model, but the data is again based on the current locale.
    so: footer.rtf, footer_nl.rtf, footer_de.rtf and footer_en.rtf. Do I need to import all of these in their respective files or will localisation work (I doubt it)?
    Question 3: Is there a way to implicitly pass all parameters that were passed to the main template, also pass to the subtemplates? (eg LANG parameter is passed to template_nl.rtf, who can use it in his data model, is there a way to automatically make LANG available for footer_nl.rtf's data model or do I need to explicitly pass it as a parameter in the <?call-template: footer?>) - again if the report locale is available in some way to the data model, it would be easy.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    Probably the easiest would be to use an OnDemand Process and some AJAX to pull your data into the extjs object.
    Here's an example of an OnDemand Process.
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:11
    For data the easiest at the moment would be probably to use the Oracle XML functions to generate your data in XML and use that as your data feed.
    You might want to take a look the new Interactive Reports included in APEX 3.1, while extjs has alot of functions there is a bit of setup involved , while the Interactive Reports all you need is a SQL query http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/irrs.html
    You should search the forum for extjs as there has been quite a few successful integrations of APEX and extjs / YUI / jQuery etc.

  • SQL Developer and Windows XP Profile space

    I work in a secure environment where my laptop is fairly tightly controlled. In particular all laptop users are restricted to a Windows user profile space of 20Mb. This is space in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data. This is to stop people building up huge profiles that take an age to download and synchronise with the logon servers.
    SQL Developer writes stuff in this directory (as does the Data Modeler and JDeveloper). In particular windowinglayout.xml is growing and is now 1Mb in size. I am running out of space in my profile and it will not be long before I am at my limit. The size of the file seems mostly to be down to the content of the element /LayoutInfo/clientLayoutData/global/view-data which has grown enormous. Much of the content seems to relate to connections and folders and I have tried to delete some connections but that seems not to have made any difference to the size of the file.
    Can the content of this file be controlled? Is it possible to relocate these files somewhere else so that they don't cause me a problem? Are there other possible solutions?
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Andrew

    Marvellous K, thanks for that. Not only have I done that for SQL Developer but also managed to work out the appropriate files to amend for JDeveloper and SQL Developer Data Modeler. My profile now has a whole 5.5Mb free and my laptop is a happy bunny again.
    Combined with finding where my new 11g database laptop installation has squirrelled away it's alert log I think that's enough productivity for one day; my work here is done.
