Oracle sql developer change column order

Hello,
I created a table in Oracle sql developer.. After I created it I noticed that the order of the columns is wrong. So I right clicked the table->Edit.. But the arrow to move a column up/down (ie. change the column order is greyed out). Is there a another way to change this ?

Where did you see that, in the SQL Worksheet or viewing the data Connections ->.. tables ->.. tree?
What datatype, precision and column name you have?

BUG in Oracle SQL Developer 3.0.04 on the "generating DLL" with comments?

I'm newbie on oracle, but I think that I found out a bug in Oracle SQL Developer version 3.0.04 on the "generating DLL" tool using "comments".
I will describe the steps that I gave:
I created a view, but after I test it I had to change my “where” condition, so I comment the old code and then I wrote the new “where” condition below. After I done that I tried to look at the sql code of my view using “generating DLL” tool, but oracle sql developer only shown me half of the code, a lot of code were missing. Then I began with some test trying to understand what happen and I notice that if I put an invalid sql code in my comment the generating DLL start working with no problems, for example(pseudo-code):
(COMMENT WITH VALID SQL CODE the "Generating SQL" don't work:)
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW <user>.<view_name> ( <column1>,<column2> )
AS
SELECT column1, column2
FROM table1
INNER JOIN
(SELECT
FROM table2
INNER JOIN .....
INNER JOIN ....
--where time_stamp = (select max(time_stamp) from .....)
WHERE time_stamp >= TRUNC(sysdate)
) t1 ON t1.ID = ....
AND ..... >= TRUNC(sysdate)
ORDER BY ....
Generating DLL returns this(when the error occurs):
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW <user>.<view_name> ( <column1>,<column2> )
AS
(COMMENT WITH VALID SQL CODE the "Generating SQL" work with no problems:)
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW <user>.<view_name> ( <column1>,<column2> )
AS
SELECT column1, column2
FROM table1
INNER JOIN
(SELECT
FROM table2
INNER JOIN .....
INNER JOIN ....
--where
WHERE time_stamp >= TRUNC(sysdate)
) t1 ON t1.ID = ....
AND ..... >= TRUNC(sysdate)
ORDER BY ....
I believe that "Generating DLL" tool have some problem with the comments, I also used /*...*/ to comment but the problem is still active.
I notice as well that if I started to add some more comments along the code, the conditions migth change, so I think the problem is related with "comments" code.
Would you mind telling me if this is a real bug or if I'm doing anything wrong.
Thank you in advance,
Rodrigo Campos
Edited by: 894886 on 3/Nov/2011 5:29

Hi Rodrigo,
Thank you for reporting this. The only bug I see currently logged on a comment affecting the generated View DDL involves ending the last line of the definition with a comment, which treats the ending semi-colon (even if on a different line) as part of the comment. That is actually related to a low-priority bug against an Oracle database API.
Unfortunately, your pseudo-code is a bit complex. Trying a few quick, simpler tests against the standard HR schema did not reproduce the issue. I tried INNER JOIN, and nested SELECTs. It would help greatly if you could provide a test case compilable against one of the standard schema, like HR or SCOTT.

Gary

Copying SQL Script from Oracle SQL Developer into Excel with formatting

I need to copy a SQL Script into Excel in order to develop some VBA code. Is there any nice way that I can copy SQL Script from Oracle SQL Developer into Excel and retain its formatting? I am a stickler for having legible, readable SQL and like to have all my columns lined up and aliases lined up. When we used to use SQL Navigator, the tab formatting seemed to copy and paste just fine. Now that we have migrated to Oracle SQL Developer, the formatting seems to get all messed up.
And suggestions are greatly appreciated and Thanks in advance for your review and am hopeful for an answer.
Thanks.
PSULionRP

I suppose you want a real tabulator instead of spaces. You can configure this in the preferences (SQL Formatter - Oracle). You have to apply it then to your existing code (e.g. CTRL-F7), but new code should get it right from the start.
Hope that helps,

SQL Developer - Pulling column value from previous row

I am using Oracle SQL developer and trying to pull a value from a column from the previous row.
Currently this is an example from the code im using.
Select CD1.nbr_dw, CD1.SEQ_DW, CD1.CDL_NET_PAID, CD1.UNITS_ALLOW,CD1.ALLOW_AMT, CD1.UNIT_PRICE, CD1.BACKED_OUT,
case
When CD1.NET_PAID = 0 then 0
****NEW CODE*****
Else CD1.ALLOW_AMT / CD1.UNIT_PRICE
end as NEW_UNITS
From Table_A CD1
join (Select nbr_dw, DET_DW, SEQ_DW
From Table_B
) CD2
on CD1.nbr_dw = CD2.nbr_dw
I need to add another when statement that says when CD1.BACKED_OUT = 'Y' populated the NEW_UNITS field with the previous rows value of CD1.UNIT_PRICE. Note, the CD1.SEQ_DW can be used to determine the previous row. Any ideas?

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
The analytic LAG function can return a value from the previous row:
LAG (cd1.unit_price) OVER ( -- PARTITION BY x          -- if needed
                               ORDER BY          cd1.seq_dw
                 )It's unclear if you need a PARTITION BY clause or not.
"PARTITION BY x" means that you want the value from the last row that has the same value of x as the current row.
If you omit the PARTITION BY clause, it means you want the last row regardless of what any other columns are.
Whenever you have a problem, it ehlps if you post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and the results you want from that data.
Explain how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using.

Copying from Oracle SQL Developer to Microsoft Word doesn't retain formatting (Font,colors etc)

Copying from Oracle SQL Developer Worksheet doesn't retain formatting (font,color etc...)in Microsoft Word but copying from other programs such as
visual studio, chrome browser etc works fine. This doesn't work even after changed the setting to Keep Source formatting of Options-> Copy and Paste Settings

Hi,
I notice that you have cross posted in Answers forum and Oracle forum. Have you tried Mr. Peter's suggestion?
Then, I recommend we check the Word settings:
1. Go to: Options > Advanced > Cut, Copy and Paste
2. Make sure that Use smart cut and paste is ticked.
3. Click the Settings button next to this option
4. Make sure that Smart Style
Behavior is checked.
If the issue still exists, please upload a sample through One Drive, I want to test.

Oracle SQL Developer error - "The file-based source procedure Name is not present in the database."

I recently started working on the Oracle SQL developer. I have 'select' privileges on the QA schema and when tried to execute proc in QA. It is giving the error as 'The file-based source <procedure Name> is not present in the database. Was it compiled?'
instead 'you do not have sufficient privileges to execute this procedure'. Did research on internet but with no luck.What configuration changes needed to be done to make it work.Guide me.

Sounds like you do not have the correct privileges. What should have been granted to you by the QA user, or some other user with appropriate privileges, is...
grant EXECUTE on "QA"."<PROCEDURE_OF_INTEREST>" to "<YOUR_USERID>" ;
Note that a grant of execute on a procedure has nothing to do with grants of select on some or all of QA's tables and views.
So, as Vadim suggests, from your connection node in SQL Developer's Connections view, if you expand the Other Users node, then expand QA and look in the Procedures node, do you see the procedure of interest? If not, you cannot expect to be able to execute it from your userid's connection. And even if you do see it, you may have some other privilege that permits viewing but not executing, like...
The role SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE
The system privilege SELECT ANY DICTIONARY
And even if you do not see it there, then having certain other privileges granted to you could permit executing it in general, like...
The role EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE
The system privilege EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE
Also, note that the 3.0 release is a bit dated nowadays. Upgrading to 4.0.3 production or even the 4.1 EA2 (early adopter) release will, in general, give you a better experience.
Best wishes,
Gary

How to compare two schemas in Oracle sql developer

Hello,
I need to compare both the data and schemas details (columns etc) between two schemas on different databases (connections).
What is the easiest and most efficient way to do this? Hopefully in Oracle Sql Developer or Sql Plus?
Thanks.

In SQL Developer go to Tools -> Schema Diff !
in SQL* Plus you will need to write PL/SQL for this.

Oracle SQL Developer freezes and locks up computer randomly

I attempted to find a solution to this before posting. I looked through the first 40 pages of this forum and on Google, through the Developer documentation, etc. with no luck.
The problem: while using Oracle SQL Developer, the computer randomly freezes. Things work, but it hangs too often and for too long to use. This is random - it can happen every 10 seconds or every 2 minutes. The mouse will lock up, and the keyboard buffer will get all messed up. For instance, if it happens to freeze while I'm hitting "backspace", it will delete many lines of text (I've lost a bit of work because of this in the past). The freezing will last about 2 to 20 seconds, and the only way out of it is to ctrl+alt+delete and kill SQL Developer.
If SQL Developer is running, and I'm in a different window - it will freeze the other windows as well. Again, it's impossible to use unfortunately. My coworker doesn't have the same problem, and he's connecting to the same database with the same version using Windows Vista. It must be something on this computer. I reformatted about 1 month ago, so it's a pretty fresh install and I haven't installed much of anything yet.
I'm using Windows Vista Enterprise 32-bit w/SP1.
This was occurring with older versions of SQL Developer (1.2). I'm using the newest install that included the Java JDK. I've completely removed Java, my Oracle installs, and a host of other attempts to fix this, and nothing changes. I've tried running the .exe in the bin directory as administrator as well.
Currently using Oracle Developer 1.5.1.54.40.
Any ideas?

I tried dumping the contents, but the java dump wasn't showing anything at all, and it would never freeze while I had the console window in focus, so it wasn't very helpful unfortunately.
I fixed this issue by uninstalling the Java runtime on this machine and installing the Java JDK 6 Update 7 from java.sun.com/javase/downloads . I then downloaded the SQL Developer 1.5.1 version without the Java runtime included, and pointed it to the Update 7 .exe file upon first load.
I was using JDK 6 Update 6 previously, and it must have been behind the errors. Note that the Update 7 has to be downloaded from that website as it's a new version that hasn't been posted on the regular java.com site yet.
