[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,

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/

Oracle SQL Developer O/P and Toad O/P is Different for Same QUERY.

Hi,
can any one calrify me why i'm getting different result when i run the same QUERY in Oracle Developer and TOAD.
When i Ran a Query in TOAD i could see Null&Data in a column called Customer_Category but when i Ran the same Query in Oracle SQL Developer i'm getting all Null N i couldnt see any data in the column.
i have not performed any DDL r DML statement, just i got the Query and i Ran it in TOAD & Oracle SQL Developer.
I found that the OUT PUT is different for perticular column.
Thanks in Advance....

> I found that the OUT PUT is different for perticular column.
The RENDERING of data from Oracle (or any other server such as a POP3 server, web server, etc) IS DONE BY THE CLIENT.
So to repeat - RENDERING IS DONE BY THE CLIENT.
If one client selects to display the output received from the server differently than another client, it is a CLIENT ISSUE.
It is not a server issue. It is not a SQL issue. It is not a PL/SQL issue.
In other words, wrong forum for this question. You have a pure client side rendering problem which has absolutely nothing to do with SQL and/or PL/SQL.

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

Differences between TOAD for Oracle and Oracle SQL Developer?

Does someone know the advantages and disadvantages of using TOAD for Oracle and Oracle SQL Developer?
I work making reports with TOAD, but in a few days I will have to use the SQL Developer (because it´s free) unless I justify the necessity of using TOAD.
Could some that used both compare them?
Thanks,
Facundo.

Hello Facundo,
since we are rolling out new client PCs we switch from Toad to SQL Developer. Therefore I'm doing some training for the "normal" users and our developers.
Most users simply want to have access to the data in tables and views. For those there are 2 main issues:
- Filters get lost when exiting table while sorting is still applied. Since there is no way to apply filtering before entering the data tab this can become a great performance issue because sorting is applied to many many rows. For views it is sometimes impossible to open the data tab.
- Exporting date values to Excel needs some know how if you want to sort by this column in Excel, because the date is formatted as "Standard" meaning that the sorting is done as for a text column: 01.01.2009 is less than 02.01.2008. Here you have to use a workaround column with a formula (=1*<datecolumn>)
The greatest Pro is the easy sharing of connections and reports by XML files.
Our developers like the easy debugging in SQL Developer. Though they miss the feature that the source is compiled for debug automatically as in Toad. For this we have distributed a script that compiles any PL/SQL object for debugging.
There are only some Toads installed for DBAs and for users that need access to tables protected by policies that require authentification by OS user since this information is not passed under every circumstance.

Different out in Toad and in Oracle SQL Developer

Hi
The below script
DECLARE
g_run_date DATE := '02-OCT-09';
s_date date;
e_date date;
BEGIN
SELECT TRUNC(TO_DATE(g_run_date + ((-1)* (TO_CHAR ( g_run_date + 1, 'D'))), 'DD/MON/YYYY'),'DD')start_of_week,
TRUNC(TO_DATE (g_run_date + (6 - (TO_CHAR (g_run_date + 1, 'D'))), 'DD/MON/YYYY'),'DD')end_of_week
INTO s_date,
e_date FROM DUAL;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Start_of_week :' || s_date) ;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('End_of_week :' || e_date) ;
end;
When ran in toad gives
Start_of_week:25-SEP-09
End_of_week:01-OCT-09
When ran in Oracle SQL Developer gives
Start_of_week:26-SEP-09
End_of_week:01-OCT-09
why this occurs?
Cheers

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.

Unable to connect to Oracle Database using Oracle Sql developer 2.1.1.64

Hi Everyone,
I am searching for some help regarding my problem with Oracle connectivity. I have installed Oracle 11g release 2 on my Windows XP Professional Laptop. 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:
An error was encountered performing the required operation Got a minus one from read call .Vendor code 0
However i am able to connect using Sql Plus by supplying the username SYSTEM and the corresponding password.
My TNSNAMES .ora file is as follows:

My Sqlnet.ora file is as follows:

I am new to Oracle and so i need someone in this forum who can help me resolve this problem. Also i even tried connecting to the database using Toad 10.5.0.41. It give me the following error:
ORA 12537 : TNS Connection closed
Thanks for your patience and help in advance.

Hello Irian and Sue,
I can connect to the Oracle database using SQL Plus. Now when i TNSPING ORACLE from command line i get the following message :
Used parameter files:
D:\app\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =localhost
*)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = ORACLE)))*

Thanks for your response to my initial post.Do u have any other methods to resolve this?

How to see job section in "Oracle SQL Developer"

Hi,
I am using oracle SQL developer to connect to oracle instance unlike procedure,tables,views i am not able to see job section (we have can see in toad as job section) please help me to get locate the same.

There's no support for jobs yet. Vote on the existing feature requests at the SQL Developer Exchange if you want to add weight for future implementation.
If you have trouble handling them manually, you can always ask help on the SQL And PL/SQL forum...
Thanks,
K.
Edited by: -K- on 20/05/2009 12:27:
BTW, there are some job reports (Reports - All Reports - Data Dictionary Reports - Jobs), but those will list only DBMS_JOB stuff, not the DBMS_SCHEDULER ones.
You can also create your own reports and/or User Defined Extensions to add a Jobs node inside the connection navigator, but that's for more advanced users...

Oracle SQL Developer needs some work

I just downloaded a copy today (1557) for Oracle 9.2i / Windows XP Pro
Oracle SQL Developer has a few glitches...
A compiled and working package (compiled in SQL*Plus and TOAD) opens and shows 2 errors in a SQL Query involving a CASE statement. Invalid CASE clause on an ELSE and unexpected token on an alias at the end of the case.
Compiling a package should display a message saying successfully compiled and the state of a package should always be on display!
Opened an SQL script but could not execute it as the icon's didn't become active.
Couldn't then run the script.
These basic problems would put any serious developer off using Oracle SQL Developer.
Also background color scheme should be gray and NOT white. White is hard on the eyes. This is just basic UI stuff.
Oracle, you need more senoir developers!

Justified to the top left of the sql window, you see the execute buttons. On the top right, you will see a drop down list box. After opening a file, this drop down list box is not selected. Select your connection and the execute buttons on the top left will enable.
For PL/SQL use a slash / at the end for it to execute.

Is it possible to query software inventory report for Oracle SQL developer installation?

Hi all
My company requires to generate a report of all kinds of Oracle database access tool. I can find Toad installation from Add/Remove Program and therefore can query for Toad.
However, Oracle SQL developer is using Java. I cannot see an entry for Oracle SQL developer from Add/Remove Program. Is there a way to query inventory for Oracle SQL developer installation?
Thanks a lot.
Regards
Lic

You might be able to use software inventory to report on the version of sqldeveloper.exe.
As the app looks like just a zip you extract to a custom location that might be one method.

Problems using SQL*Loader with Oracle SQL Developer

I have been using TOAD and able to import large (milllions of rows of data) in various file formats into a table in an Oracle database. My company recently decided not to renew any more TOAD licenses and go with Oracle SQL Developer. The Oracle database is on a corporate server and I access the database via Oracle client locally on my machine. Oracle SQL Developer and TOAD are local on my desktop and connected through TNSnames using the Windows XP platform. I have no issues with using SQL*Loader via the import wizard in TOAD to import the data in these large files into an Oracle table and producing a log file. Loading the same files via SQL*Loader in SQL Developer, freezes up my machine and I cannot get it to produce a log file. Please help!

I am using SQL Developer version 3.0.04. Yes, I have tried it with a smaller file with no success. What is odd is that the log file is not even created. What is created is a .bat file a control file and a .sh file but no log file. The steps that I take:
1.Right click on the table I want to import to or go to actions
2. Import Data
3. Find file to import
4. Data Preview - All fields entered according to file
5. Import Method - SQL Loader utility
6. Column Definitions - Mapped
7. Options - Directory of files set
8. Finish
With the above steps I was not able to import 255 rows of data. No log file was produced so I don't know why it is failing.
thanks.

Non-Geeky name for "Oracle SQL Developer"

At my work place people (mostly non-developers) are using MS-Query to access Oracle database to query and analyses data.
I asked them to use "Oracle SQL Developer", then their response is "It may be complicated, and we are not Developer".
Current name implies user need to be developer, and need to know SQL etc.
Cant we have a non-geeky name?
"SQL Server Management Studio", "MS-Query", "DBDesigner", "TOAD" all sounds non-geeky.
May be "Oracle Data Studio" is better.

It has been named "Raptor" before it became SQL-Developer. Just rename the link for your co-workers if they think they cannot use a tool because of its name.
