Oracle SQL Developer won't respond

Hi There:
I am so stressed out these days as my SQL Developer wont' respond. When I double clicked the icon , the logo will appear and it seems the hard disk is flashing for a few seconds. After that, nothing happened. I tried several times and even downloaded another copy of SQL Developer but still no luck.
Is anyone here having the same issue and how did you solve that?
Thanks a lot
A stressed out programmer.

The only difference is that one shows the java console and any output there while the normal one hides the details. Running it is a diagnostic test, not a solution;-)
Does the original work now?

  • Bug in Oracle SQL Developer

    I had Oracle SQL Developer 1.5.0.53 and when I did a "Check for Update" it said no updates found, even though SQL Developer 1.5.1 was released on June 9, 2008. So obviously this is a bug you need to fix.
    OK - So I downloaded the latest Oracle SQL Developer and installed it and when I opened it up, all my connections were gone!!!
    That's another bug you need to fix.

    See Does check for updates install 1.5.1 for some suggestions for Check for Update.
    For installing 1.5.1 and then losing your connections, did you install in a new directory or over the top of 1.5.0? If yes, then reinstall again into a new directory. If not, did migrate your settings from 1.5.0? Without doing that 1.5.1 won't find your existing connections.

  • Cannot launch SQL Developer - won't recognize Java JDK

    Upon attempting to launch SQL Developer for the first time, I get a dialog box asking for the "full path to Java executable". I use the Browse function to point to my local Java 7 JDK java.exe, and nothing happens. No error message, no prompt or hint (typical of Oracle applications, I'm discovering) - the dialog box clears itself and wil not accept any java.exe I point it to.

  • Oracle SQL Developer - File, Open , File Name Not Accept UNC Path Form

    In Oracle SQL Developer, at least the File, Open (Dialog's), the File Name (if not all File / Directory Name) Text Box(es) is (are) not accepting, at least for me, the UNC Path Form of Folders on Network Servers. The same UNC Path (or UNC Paths in general) works in the File / Directory Name Text Box of every other Windows App I've tried (from Windows 95 to Windows 7). Is there a way to do this? If not, was it intentional and where can I suggest this as a fix / enhancement?
    I'm using Windows XP w/ SP3.

    DUH! I figured out what happened. In my first search, I searched (using "Actions", "Filter", "Column" option) for "Title Contains 'UNC'" which didn't find anything because the single-quotes were considered literals (which isn't consistent with the "Row" option or with the technical SQL syntax one would expect given technical operators like "!=", pffft, "!="??? Really???). Then, all subsequent searches returned nothing, because all previous searches are combined with implied "And" Operators until you select "Actions", "Reset" (which isn't consistent with any Web / Desktop App search feature I've ever seen). Don't get me wrong. The latter is a great feature. It just needs to be documented better.
    It probably wouldn't hurt to: a) include easily visible tips on whether single / double quotes are needed and b) show an "And" Operator in front of each previous search listed so people won't mistake it for simply a Search Criteria History vs. Current Search Criteria, oh and add a heading that labels it as, oh, IDK, "Current Search Criteria", maybe? IDK, call me crazy (or just another stupid user posing as a developer with 16 years experience ;).

  • Oracle SQL Developer v 1.5.3 does not export

    I attempted to export query results using Oracle SQL Developer. I right-clicked on the result and attepted to export data - it failed without explanation - nothing happened.
    I'm a new user with this product - is this a known bug and if so - could you please identify the patch and / or upgrade.
    The Oracle DB version for my appliication is 10.2.0.3. Is there a upgraded SQL Developer that should be used. Let me know - thank you.

    The more exotic the SQL, the more chances it won't export, due to the way they parse and embed your statement in an inner select.
    With every version, quite some cases get fixed, so first upgrade to 2.1. If you still see statements that fail, post them here on the forum, so the developer can debug the feature.
    Thanks,
    K.

  • PL/SQL and Oracle SQL Developer

    I just downloaded the latest version of Oracle SQL Developer, because I heard that it is free and comes with a debugger.
    So I have it all setup, I am connected to my database, but I wanted to execute a simple example:
    I selected to create a new Procedure and a new tab opened up, I pasted this code and under DBMS Output, I clicked the + to: set serveroutput on
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST1 As
    DECLARE
       mytext varchar2(100) := 'Hello world!' ; 
    BEGIN
       dbms_output.put_line(mytext) ;
       dbms_output.put_line(mytext) ;
    END TEST1;yet, I get an error:
    Source does not have a runnable target.
    So, is this made to only work with the database objects ? Tables ? I can't execute a simple Hello World ?
    Please help, thanks!

    The responses you received accurately identified the problems you were having were a result of attempting to debug a procedure before you had compiled it. For free. And you complain.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • 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 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...

  • 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.
