New in sql developer

Hi,
I am evaluating sql developer. i tried to download the installer from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/sql/index.html ( Oracle SQL Developer for Windows - 55.8MB).
I followed the installation guide and explored it. I am also able to connect from our databases.
My problems are:
1. Connection navigator is disabled
2. Help's Table of Contents and Index are not working
3. Debug tab is disabled
4. Run tab is disabled
When I tried to check for updates, the reply is "No updates are available"
I will greatly appreciate your help.
Thank you.

Guido,
I support hundreds of database instances, but I only connect to a few dozen each month. I am sucessfully using SQL Developer + OEM + SQL*Plus to replace Benthic Golden and Quest TOAD. There are features that I miss, but you can't beat the price performance ratio.
So far I have been creating the connections manually. I am considering converting a list of databases,extracted from the tnsnames.ora file or the OID LDAP server or the ONS, into the XML syntax found in
C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper\jdev\system\oracle.onlinedb.11.0.0.37.36\IDEConnections.xml
I have done this for other applications using editor macros in PFE. Creating the XML will be more verbose, but not challenging.
DISCLAIMER: This is not supported by Oracle and could destroy any existing connection settings or break the product so badly that you need to reinstall it. (take backups)

New To SQL Developer Data Modeler - Data Dictionary Report

I am new to Data Modeler and I am currently learning what I can do and can't with it. Is there a way to generate a "Data Dictionary" report? We would like a report we can distribute that describes all tables and columns with descriptions and comments. We used to use an old version of Power Designer and we could do this from the data model we created. Is it possible to do something like this from SQL Developer Datas Modeler?

Hi,
Saxon is just an option, you don't need it by default.
Could be permissions problem. What are you working on i.e. OS? What java version do you use?
Even though you have specified directory for the reports do you have permissions to write there?
Report generation directories priority is:
1. Custom directory if specified in Settings->Data Modeler->Default Reports Directory
2. /datamodeler/reports/
3. User home directory
You must have permissions somewhere on these directories. On the other hand you are saying that report_data.xml is generated so you have permissions.
Okay. Now I saw a bug in 710. When you click "Generate report" there are progress dialogs and result dialog, but if you meanwhile click somewhere or change focus, these dialogs are hiding below main "Reports" dialog i.e. you are not seeing them. If you use Alt+Tab the result dialog will popup. This bug is fixed in the next release.
So you must see either result dialog or error dialog at the end of report generation. If not check with Alt+Tab if it is not hidden somewhere below and if there is no such dialog close the DataModeler and check the log file for some error.
There is SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.3 Early Adopter Available.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/datamodeler/downloads/datamodeler-33-ea-1869055.html
Above issue is fixed there and report is opening automatically.

New for sql developer need ur suggestion

Hi,
I have downloaded sql developer 2.1.0.63 and connecting to server using tnsnames file.
I am generating sample reports.How can users access these reports through the browser.
In tools-preference-web browser & proxy I could not understand the settings.
Please guide me.
thanks
satya

Reports are only accessed inside sqldev itself.
But you can export the results in various formats (right-click on the report or inside the results), or share the report itself as extension to other installations.
Have fun,

Unable to download new Oracle SQL Developer 1.1

The following url is dead (HTTP 500 - Internal server error ) and uable to be reached when trying to download SQL Developer 1.1 (1.1.0.23.64)
http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper-2364.zip
Doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the quality of Oracle software when a simple download link is invalid

To report back on the outage from last week. There was an outage, which is what those of you on this list reported on. Feedback from Support was that it was short lived and rectified. Regrettably, it affected your ability to download SQL Developer when you wanted and needed to. We all know how frustrating that is and when a web site is unhelpful, that is even more aggravating. I can only apologize.
I do have a web site for reporting future outages. This forum is under the OTN Services section and is the downloads forum:

Generate DDL works in old version of SQL Developer, but not in new versions

Hello all,
How to generate DDL in new versions of Oracle SQL Developer for production Oracle database?
For production database, the generate DDL feature works fine in old versions (version 1.5.5) of Oracle SQL Developer, SQuirrel, Toad and many other similar tools, but not the new versions of Oracle SQL Developer (such as 2.1.1.64.45).
The SQL tab for a table is blank for me in production databases. Of course, it works fine in development Oracle database.
I did some research that many articles describe SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE as the required read-only role in production database. Our DBA did a test to grant me this role temporarily, and it worked for me to generate DDL using new Oracle SQL Developer. It is pain for me to ask for this role.
Is there a plug-in or work-around, so the new versions of Oracle SQL Developer can have this generate DDL feature in production without the mentioned SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE?
I could not find the answer in older forum threads.
For now, I will have to install older versions of Oracle SQL Developer.
Thanks

I've seen a couple posts about people not being able to generate DDL for other users. To date, I've never seen a anybody post a workaround, nor have I seen one of the developers post a response, nor have I seen anybody say they've submitted a SR.
I think I remember reading somewhere that the new version of SQL Developer uses dbms_metadata.get_ddl to generate DDLS, rather than some custom query built on top of catalog views...which could explain why it use to work, but no longer does. But whether or not this is true, I don't know.
You could try submitting a SR and see if Oracle responds saying that it's a known bug and will be fixed in the next release. Until then, unless you get the role, you're stuck using something else for DDL generation.

How to view SQL for a materialized view in SQL Developer (Oracle 11g R2)

Good Morning,
I am new to SQL Developer 3.1.07 and just installed it on a Windows 7 PC yesterday.
There's a materialized view for which I need to view (and eventually update) the SQL. The mat'lized view is in another schema, but my Oracle user does have access to the schema and to this particular mat'lized view. My user also has SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DEBUG, and ALTER permissions. When I select (click on) the matl'ized view in the object tree on the left, a multi-tab window opens with information in the Columns, Indexes, Grants, Dependencies and Details tabs, but the SQL pane is blank. I don't know if there's some other GRANT that I need in Oracle, or if there's something else I need to do in SQL Developer to see the matl'ized view SQL.
Thanks

I'm not sure what privileges you might need besides the one you listed except RESOURCE on the MV, or maybe CREATE ANY MATERIALIZED VIEW.
Can you use DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL to get the data you want (may/may not work due to privileges)?

Viewing Chinese Characters / Encoding setting in SQL Developer

Hi all,
I am new to SQL Developer 1.1. I have just downloaded the tool yesterday.
I have a table where there "should" be chinese characters in a NVARCHAR2 column. But I see only inverted question marks when displaying that data in SQL Developer.
I know from a ressource on the web, that SQL Developer is able to display chinese characters ( see http://awads.net/wp/2006/07/06/sql-developer-and-utf8/ ).
The NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET is set to AL16UTF16; the NLS_CHARACTER_SET is set to WE8ISO8859P1.
The encoding under Tools->Preferences->Environment is set to "Cp1252".
What is actually the influence of this Encoding setting and do I have to make changes to that to view the data?
In addition I have to admit, that we actually do not really know if the data entered the DB correctly, that is as chinese characters. Maybe there have occured conversion errors that were made in a application that writes the data into the database. Actually I want to verify that. So, if I have the right settings configured which should be fine to see chinese characters and then I see only inverted question marks I can conclude that the data actually entered the database corrupted and the error is not an display issue with SQL Developer but rather an error in the application that writes the data to the database.
Thanks to any answers in advance!
Regards,
Philipp Hinnah

Newbie in SQL Developer: misc questions

Hello,
I´m new to SQL Developer, always worked with Quest´s SQL Navigator before.
1.)
I have a file.sql with following instructions:
begin
package_1.variable_1:='T';
package_2.procedure_1;
package_2.procedure_2;
package_2.procedure_3;
end;
In Quest SQLNavigator I started this with "Run (F9".
In SQL Developer this will not start, always telling me error, invalid numbers or some other sh*t, but nothing changed within the packages or procedures.
With SQLNavigator everything works fine.
2.)
In SQLNavigator with "Quick Browse" I get the sql for a table, for example
select a.col1, a.col2, a.col3, ...
from quickbrowsedtable a
How can I get this in SQL Developer ?
3.)
When extracting DDL in SQL Developer columns and table names are in double quotes. Can I change
this to have no quotes at all ?
Thank you very much for your help,
greets,
Frank

1 - use F5 in the worksheet to run your anon block
2 - drag the table to the worksheet, and select 'Select'

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.

Possible bug in Oracle SQL Developer Version 3.2.20.09 Build MAIN-09.87 - Connection is currently busy. Try Again? Abort...

Hi,
Every single time I try and browse data in one of my tables, I get the annoying "Connection is currently busy. Try Again?" pop-up alert message with "Try Again" and "Abort" options.
This is very annoying and I dont know how to stop it happening.
Is this a bug or can someone suggest a setting I can try to get around it?
Cheers,
Julian

I don't know if it's worthwhile raising issues with v3 as the developers are now working on v4. You can download an Early Adopter version available on OTN I think.
If you're new to SQL Developer, it's worth knowing that a single click on an item in the navigator tends to do what you would expect a double-click to do. I think a double click can cause the same action to be started twice.

SQL Developer 4.0 - Database Diff - turn off schema name in generated script

SQL Developer 4 / RDBMS 11GR2
I know SQL Developer 4 is EA, but maybe the question has the same answer in 3.3. Also if 4.0 EA questions need to be asked in a different forum, please advise.
I am new to SQL Developer and I admit to using brand Z (TOAD) for many, many years.
(1) When using Database Diff, is there a setting to turn off the schema name that is displayed in the scripts that are generated? I looked in PREFERENCES, but if it is there, I did not see it.
(2) While I have found good resources on SQL Developer, is there a FAQ on Database DIff that answers a lot of these silly type questions?
Thanks in advance

On the first screen of the DIFF wizard there's a check box for 'Schema' - uncheck that.

SQL Developer Data Modeler Definitions

I am brand new to SQL Developer Data Modeler, but not new to modeling (I've used Rational Rose for 8 years). Can someone point me to a list of definitions of the terms SQL Developer Data Modeler uses throughout its interface? I have poured through all of the help documentation only to find no such documentation.
Thank you in advance!
Craig Benson

Looks like you've run in something similar
Re: Datatypes changing on their own
Is column data type changing to Audio just on click of the column in Table properties dialog or you are doing something prior (add column, press Shift ...) ? Are you using domains ? Do you save model after importing or you trying to modify it right after import ?

SQL Developer Data Modeler Information Flow descriptions

Hello
I am new to SQL Developer Data Modeler. Is there a way to display on the Data Flow Diagram the descriptions on the Information Flow lines.
Regards
Ade

1) Is there a cross reference report so that I can check my information structures on the DFD diagram with the attributes defined at Logical Model diagram?you can use "File>Export>To Reporting Schema" functionality to export your design into Oracle database. Two tables there give usage of attributes/entities in processes - DMRS_PROCESS_ATTRIBUTES and DMRS_PROCESS_ENTITIES. look for "reports\Reporting Schema diagrams" directory under installation of Data Modeler - there are PDF files with diagrams of reporting schema tables.
2) How can I create a copy (synonym) for any of my information stores or external agents on the same DFD diagramgraphical synonyms are supported only for objects in Logical and Relational models.

SQL Developer Screens Don't Match Tutorial Screens

Hi, I am new to SQL Developer and am starting to go through the tutorial that is at this URL http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/tutorial/SQLDeveloper/index.htm. The version of SQLDeveloper that I just downloaded and am running is version 1.1.0.23.
My problem is that the screens with my version of SQL Developer do not match the tutorial. For example when editing a Table my version of SQL Developer has a windowed area on the left with the options "Column, Primary Key, Unique Constraints, Foreign Keys, Check Constraints, Indexes, Storage Options, Lob Paramaters, Comment and DDL" listed top to bottom as a list. The Tutorial, on the other hand has these options as "Tabs" across the top. Also, when I select "Primary Key" with SQL Developer I don't get the option anywhere for "Populate Primary Key Column:" with radiobuttons for From: Existing Sequence or New Sequence.
I am running Windows XP Professional. Any help would be appreciated as I can't use the tutorial since it doesn't match my version of SQL Developer. I seem to be missing options as well. I have screen captures showing the differences between SQL Developer and the Tutorial if someone wants me to email them so they can better understand what I am seeing.
Thank You,
Chris

Yes, we are in the process of updating all the doc and collateral for 1.1.
If you have not yet created your table, then in the Advanced Create table dialog, select Sequences. The dialog will display an area to create the new sequence name and trigger code. The functionality is the same, the dialog a little different in layout.
If the table already exists:To create a sequence for your primary key, or any other column for that matter, right click the table created and select Trigger -> Create (PK from Sequence)
This dialog will give you the option of creating a sequence and new trigger for any column in your table.
Regards
Sue
