Oracle SQL Developer Connection Help

Hi,
I'm a complete Oracle newbie, so please bear with me. I've been doing research on protein clustering and at my lab the SQL developer has been running queries that I can then do statistics on. I have the query that I need to run, and was told to download Oracle SQL Developer and Oracle Client.
I was also given a username and password, a hostname, a port and a SID. I'm a bit confused, do I still need to install Oracle Client? And if so, I can't quite find what it is on the website? I have SQL Developer installed but when I click connect I get:
"Status : Failure -Test failed: IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection"
I'm pretty computer literate outside the world of databases so if someone can offer some explanations and guidance, it would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Thanks!If you have SQL Developer installed & need to connect to some Oracle DB,
then you do NOT need Oracle client.
FWIW - SQL Developer is written in Java & uses JDBC (thin) to connect to the DB
Is the DB Server on a subnet local to your system?

  • How to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?

    Folks,
    Hello. I am using Oracle Database 11gR1. The Database Control Console https://localhost.localdomain:1158/em works correctly. I can create a Database and a table successfully.
    My OS is Linux and connects to internet successfully.
    In order to run SQL statements. we need to use Oracle SQL Developer. I connect Oracle SQL Developer in the following way:
    Connection Name: DB1 (this is my database name as well)
    Username: SYS (this is the user name I used to login to the Console)
    Password: SYS (this the password used to login to the Console)
    Connection Type: Basic
    Host Name: localhost
    Port: 1158
    SID: DB1 (this is created during installing the Database)
    But the error message comes up: "Status: Failure - IO exception Connection Reset."
    Can any folk tell me how to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?

    Can any folk tell me how to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?username: sys
    password: enter_your_correct_password given at the time of oracle installation
    role: select sysdba if you would connect as sysdba else select normal for users other than sys
    hostname: enter your oracle server hostname or ip address eg:- 192.168.11.12
    to find the hostname open terminal/command prompt in oracle installed machine
    type ---> hostname
    type ---->ping hostname
    you can find the ipaddress of the server
    port number: 1521 (default) ----> i guess , else check the port number in the tnsnames.ora file under your ORACLE_HOME/network/admin folder
    SID: DB1
    try it

  • Oracle SQL Developer Installation Help (Basics?)

    Hello
    So im taking a class (student here, totally new to this) in Oracle SQL right now and trying to download the Oracle SQL Developer tool onto my desktop (v 2.1.1).
    Im just starting up Oracle SQL Developer and its asking, or I am looking to create a connection.
    I was wondering if anyone had a tutorial for how to make a connection?
    I only have Oracle SQL developer installed on my machine right now, nothing else. I dont have a server or anything, and just wanted to run this on my desktop local machine to practice running some SQL.
    Is there anything else i need to install?
    Is there some basic username and password that would allow me to connect to my local machine?
    What values do i need for the hostname, port and SID etc?
    Any help for a new student to Oracle would be greatly appreciated.

    You'd need a database to connect the SQL Developer client to.
    The easiest / quickest if you're a student would be the Express Edition.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/express-edition/downloads/index.html
    Pick your platform and away you go.
    Your hostname will then be 127.0.0.1, SID will be XE .... username and password will depend on what you choose when you're installing (you should get prompted for SYS/SYSTEM passwords).

  • Oracle sql developer connection error

    Hello everyone;
    i have recently installed oracle sql developer on linux, i have been using oracle sql plus tool to access oracle; but when i am tryin to connect to oracle with sql developer its giving errors,
    Error says:
    an error was encountered performing the requested operation;
    io exceprion: The network Adapter could not establish the connection
    vendor code 17002
    now i dont know what to do? Is there who can help me pls, i think i am close: is there any .xml file anywher in my database which i have to get connection details from? If yes pls lemme know. Thanks.

    This typically indicates that the connection to the database was unsuccessful (incorrect values in client tnsnames.ora). Are you able to tnsping the database successfully from the client ?

  • Oracle/ SQL Developer connection problem.

    I have installed Oracle 11 g and SQL Developer, When I open SQL Developer and try to make a new connection ( I name the connection, put a user name in, put my password in), I click on "Test" and I get this error:
    Status: Failure - Test failed: Listener refused the connection with the followong error:ORA-12505, TNS: listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor The connection descroptor used by the client was:localhost:1521:ex
    Can anyone explain this to me and help me resolve this issue I am having?
    Thank you in advance for your help

    p.s. I have also tried the user name: Scott and Password: Tiger

    Windows 7 Home ... will have challenges at some point, as Oracle may not be completely compatible with Windows 7.
    Aside from that, you may find firewall issues even if you are on the same machine, since the default connection from SQLDeveloper is to use the network (even loopback).
    First step is to verify that the database and listener are running and that the database is registered to the listener. TO do that, drop into command line and issue:

    The command completed successfullyIn the above, remember the "xe" from 'Service "xe" has 1 instance(s).'. I expect to see something about that in the TNSNAMES.ORA file in your ORACLE_HOME\network\admin directory. That file should have an entry like
    XE =
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = FCC003L)(PORT = 1521))
        (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SERVER = DEDICATED)
          (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
      )and you will note the XE on the left side of the equal sign (which is a network alias), and one XE in the (SERVICE_NAME = XE) line. On YOUR system, the XE should be replaced by whatever you called your database (often 'orcl'). REMEMBER THIS ALIAS;-) and also make note of the host that your entry uses. If your host name changes because of DHCP, you're hooped (for a while).
    If the database is registered (shows up in the list), the next step is to make sure a userid is available. You could use 'system' (try to avoid using SYS since it is the master userid and if you mess that up, you mess up all your homework. In a production encvironment, every access to SYS will be audited.
    So, let's create a userid called me with (in 11g case sensitive) password 'myself'. Make sure that user is allow to log in (create session) and create a table.

    Do you remember the XE discussion above? Replace XE with the one on the left of the equal sign - the system looks that up to find which service it wants to access.

    Disconnected from Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - ProductionIf the above worked, you should have no problem accessing the system using SQLDeveloper. You simply use the HOST, the PORT and the SID (alias) or service from the "lsnrctl status" output in the SQLDeveloper fields.
    If it did not work, try dropping the "@XE" to see whether you can get in (using the bequeath connection) which is useful for troubleshooting but will not help with the traditional SQLDeveloper connection. If you get in without the @XE (or whatever your alias is) but not with it, most likely either your listener is not up or your firewall is blocking the access to the listener.

  • Help how to connecting Oracle SQL Developer 3.0  with Oracle Database 11g

    Hello,
    I'm new in oracle developer yesterday i setup in my laptop database 11g the last version (11.2.0.1.0), well i follow steps still i got succeed to install, and i got my local host URL and i test my user name and password work very well, my problem now is i try to connect database 11g using Oracle SQL Developer 3.0 (3.0.04.34) but always filed and with my little experience i don't know where the wrong. as i said i test database after finish install is work fine the my URL is https://Ahmed-HP:1158/em and i test my username and password that i already set before is enter normal in my local database, please i need help to know how i connect database with Oracle SQL Developer 3.0 (3.0.04.34).

    -Now the link that i got after finish install database is https://Ahmed-HP:1158/em so i have question about this point Hostname and port if the link to access database is this https://Ahmed-HP:1158/em so this mean i typing at Hostname:localhost and port:1158 ?
    because the message when i test connection always is filed and I'm sure i typing username and password and SID:orcl as i set when install database.port 1158 is what the dbcontrol (Oracle Enterprise Manager) is listening on. OEM is NOT the database. As far as the database is concerned, OEM is "just another client".
    Actually, the database doesn't listen for requests on any port. There is another process, the "listener" that listens for requests to connect to the database. Typically, it listens on port 1521. You should have a tnsnames.ora file set up to resolve a connection request to the correct host. You can read more on this at http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/2011/02/09/sqlnet_overview/

For a few days after installation i could connect to the Oracle database with the SYSTEM account using Oracle SQL developer ( installed on the same Laptop) but now i am unable to do so.It gives me this annoying message:

  • Connecting to HR schema in Oracle SQL Developer

    I have installed Oracle sql developer 3.2 version.And I dont have oracle client installed.
    Can I connect to HR schema with this set up.
    If yes ,please suggest me the credentials.
    Thanks.

    You do not need any oracle client installed, you do however need a database somewhere to connect to.
    The credentials you require would be for this database, and so we cannot help you get them.
    If you have a DBA that manages your databases ask him for the credentials.
    If you are on your own and just want to try out something, your best option is to install an Oracle XE on your own system, then you can connect with the defaults SQLDeveloper already has when creating a new connection (the system password will be set during database installation so note it down), then you can play with your newly installed database.

  • Urgent Help !!!  Export data into insert format (Oracle Sql developer)

    Hi all,
    Please help , when i try to export ms access table which have 400,000 over rows to insert format using oracle sql developer 1.5.5. After the export have done the exported file xxx.sql is empty.
    Is it because of too many rows? or what tool or function should i use for exporting table with many rows.
    It used to have exported successfully with
    Insert into table( ) values ();
    Insert into table( ) values ();
    Insert into table( ) values ();
    Insert into table( ) values ();
    ----- when i try to export table with over 10,000 row.
    Regard,
    Tun

    Another option is to export your file as Formatted text (space delimited). This will create a fixed format file. You can either create an external table to access the file or use sqlloader to load it. In your control file or access parameters you will specify the positions of the fields you are interested in. Your control file will look something like this:
    OPTIONS (BINDSIZE=50000,ERRORS=50,ROWS=200,READSIZE=65536)
    LOAD DATA
    CHARACTERSET US7ASCII
    INFILE '/home/FIXED_FORMAT.dat' "FIX 58"
    CONCATENATE 1
    INTO TABLE "EMP2"
    APPEND
    REENABLE DISABLED_CONSTRAINTS
    "ID" POSITION(1:2) INTEGER(2) ,
    "REGION" POSITION(3:3) INTEGER EXTERNAL(1) ,
    "DEPT" POSITION(4:6) INTEGER EXTERNAL(3) ,
    "HIRE_DATE" POSITION(7:14) DATE(8) "mmddyyyy" ,
    "SALARY" POSITION(15:19) DECIMAL(9,2) ,
    "NAME" POSITION(20:34) CHAR(15)
    SQLDeveloper does not currently provide an option to import fixed format files.

  • Configuring RAC-aware JDBC connection in Oracle SQL Developer?

    How can Oracle SQL Developer be configured to properly connect to an [Oracle RAC|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_RAC] environment, I.E., not just setup to always connect to one of the individual nodes?
    [http://programmersjournal.blogspot.com/2008/08/jdbc-connection-string-for-oracle-rac.html] has an example of a classic and the equivalent RAC-aware version of a JDBC connection string. I've already been using a RAC connection string of the same format from within custom Java applications without issue. I thought the same should be configurable in Oracle SQL Developer by setting the "Connection Type" drop-down to "Advanced", then entering the RAC-aware JDBC connection string as the "Custom JDBC URL". However, upon testing the connection, the following error is displayed at the bottom of the dialog:
    Status : Failure -Test failed: Io exception: NL Exception was generated
    There is no additional information shown on the "Logging Page" view. Using Oracle SQL Developer 1.5.5.
    Thanks!

    Thanks, Barry. Just F.Y.I., it is working for me now that I upgraded to the 2.1 EA as -K- suggested. I had marked his reply as "Correct", but probably should have left a response indicating my success as well.
    Now, if there's anything you could do regarding the [issues around the display performance of CLOBs, etc., in the Query Result view|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=3906571] , it'd be very appreciated!

  • Oracle SQL developer 3.2.20.09 connection problem

    hello everyone. I just installed oracle SQL developer on mavericks. active JDK is 1.6.0_65. host name : som3a... now the problem is , whenever i try to make a new connection using the previous info and specifiying the default port 1433 i always get the following error
    Status : Failure -Test failed: Cannot connect to Microsoft SQL Server on som3a
    - can these fields ( connection name , username ,password ) take any values or do they need to be something special like ? i mean the host name must be som3a right so do the same constraint apply on these fields ?
    -i tried telnet som3a 1433 , it gets stuck at "trying..."

    I think you have the wrong forum, as this forum is dedicated to the Oracle Database Cloud Service.

  • Import data using Excel and Oracle SQL Developer - I need some help

    Dear friends,
    I'm using Oracle SQL Developer 1.5.1 and I need to import an Excel file into a database table. If I try to import this file in XLS format, fields and headers are correctly being shown and separated, but if I press "Next" button, it simply doesn't do anything - it stays stopped.
    I did some search here in this forum and it seems to me that, when you try to import a file via XLS format, SQL Developer has bugs. Is this correct?
    If I save the same file in CSV format and try to import the same file, it goes ahead, but SQL Developer is not separating fields and headers correctly. It combines all CSV fields into one - let's say Column0 and fields 1;TEST;01/01/2000 below the same Column0.
    Saving the file in CSV format is not a problem, taking a very little time. But I don't know how to make SQL Developer import it correctly. Could somebody please help me? Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Franklin

    Hello K,
    yes, you're right. I found the following topic after posting this question here.
    Re: After update to 1.5.1, import from Excel fails
    I downloaded version 1.5.0 and I'll use it whenever I import data from Excel.
    Thanks,
