Hi!
I have worked with several Oracle IDE's in the past:
* TOAD
* PL/SQL Developer
* Navigator
* SQL/Developer
Right now I tend to do most of my work with SQL-Developer and only some tasks with TOAD.
SQL-Developer feels faster and has a cleaner interface than TOAD, while TOAD has better tools.
Im currently publishing a series of tips for SQL-Developer in my blog:
http://oracledeli.wordpress.com/
Some of the posts are focussing on overcomming SQL-developers disadvantages versus TOAD:
* SQL-Developer: Using macros http://oracledeli.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/sql-developer_using_macros/
* Execute current worksheet file via SQL*Plus (external tools) http://oracledeli.wordpress.com/2011/09/23/sql-developer_execute_via_sqlplus/

How to workstation call Oracle SQL Developer tools from a remote server

Respected All,
I have installed Oracle 11g on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. I want to access Oracle Developer Tools from server to different client machine which are connected with server through LAN.

Dont think i have DBA access..It gives the following error

00942. 00000 - "table or view does not exist"You don't have to have 'dba' access, per se. You just have to have SELECT ALL TABLES privilege. when you use a db_link, you are connecting to the remote db with the user defined in the link, and .. on that db .. you will have the privileges of the user defined in the db link. Exactly as if you had used sqlplus to connect to that db with that user.

[Oracle SQL Developer] Vs [Eclipse + Toad plugin]

Hello,
Have anybody tried to develop PL/SQL code in both of them? What is better? How do you find Eclipse?
Best Regards
slkLinuxUser

Don't know if you can trust Barry on this issue as he's part of the sqldev development team ;)
But anyway, everyone has different visions on what an editor should be. You should try them both yourself to know which one suits you.
Have fun,

Upload Image/File using Sql Developer tool

Is there a way to upload an image/file to a HUGEBLOB field from the sql developer tool?
(Toad has this, we were wondering if this is available on sql developer)
Thanks for your help!

K,
Thanks for the answer.
Do you know if you have to restart oracle after loading .jar files ? I ask this because I am not aware if oracle/jvm automatically knows that the jar files have been uploaded.
Thanks

How to get all tables in oracle sql developer with MS SQLServer

Oracle sql developer issue...

Hi,
I am using "Oracle Sql Developer" to access the database.I am not able to see any existing table when click on "Tables" in the object browser.But i am able to query the table.
Can some one tell me how can make oracle sql developer tool to show the objects.
Thanks.

Hi,
Did you create the table after creating a connection? If yes, you can probably try a disconnect (right click on the connection and choose) and then connect again (or click on the refresh icon). A
By the way, there is a dedicated forum for [SQL Developer|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=260] . You might want to post this question there, if it hasn't resolved by the steps I gave.

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).

Viewing table relations inside Oracle SQL Developer

Hi,
I'm a PL/SQL beginner and I need to control the table relations for an Oracle database. I'm using the Oracle SQL developer tool.
Now, how can I see the table relation inside Oracle SQL developer tool?
Thanks

When working with tables based on user defined types, the FK relations between the tables are not displayed at the data modeler (and also at the worksheet query builder)
I don't think that applies here 1041141 mentioned he is a beginner and did not mention any usage of object types.
If you want to report an issue or possible bug, then please open an extra thread for that. In such a case it helps tremendously if you provide a working test case as well.

Date Parameters Toad/Oracle SQL Developer

Dear All, The code below works in TOAD but in the Oracle Sql Developer doesn't work it says the Start_date is not been declared. The ambersand doent work in Toad? Don't know why. Is there a reason for this.
I have been using Toad for a while, now they're rolling out Oracle Sql Developer as it is a free tool.
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
SET VERIFY OFF
Variable start_date char(8);
BEGIN
     :START_DATE := TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('&1','YYYYMMDD'),'YYYYMMDD');
END;
BEGIN
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(:START_DATE);
END;

My recommendation would be to write it correctly no matter the tool.
SQL> DECLARE
2    START_DATE VARCHAR2(8) := TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('&1','YYYYMMDD'),'YYYYMMDD');
3 BEGIN
4    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(START_DATE);
5 END;
6 /
Enter value for 1: 20091010
old   2:   START_DATE VARCHAR2(8) := TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('&1','YYYYMMDD'),'YYYYMMDD');
new   2:   START_DATE VARCHAR2(8) := TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('20091010','YYYYMMDD'),'YYYYMMDD');
20091010
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Oracle SQL Developer vs Navicat Oracle vs Toad

I've been using MySQL and planning to migrate it to Oracle, but, I'm looking for an admin tool for Oracle and heard that Navicat for MySQL is now available for Oracle. It can create, edit databases, import/ export data,etc, so many features, I tried Toad for Oracle too. It's good but very expensive.
Navicat for Oracle and Oracle SQL Developer have a free version and I'm choosing between them. I am now in the dilemma :(

SQLDeveloper, of course :>
Kind of a biased answer, with this being a SQLDeveloper forum... but the cost, active forum, and cross-platform capability win the argument for me.
I've used both the MySQL supplied tools (administrator, query browser) as well as SQLDeveloper for a while, and I'm now more at home with SQLDeveloper than the others. It feels "right" for me, so when I'm working with both databases, SQLDeveloper is the tool I use.
Support for MySQL is limited compared to what it can do for Oracle (obviously, it's an Oracle tool), and if you want to do DDL on a MySQL database, you can't point and click (you've got to type the commands in the worksheet), but for most of my work, I can do what I need using it.
Plus, there's always the backup of the MySQL tools for those tasks you can't do in SQLDeveloper.

John
