Problems in starting SQL Developer in Linux

Dear Friends,
I cannot start SQL Developer in Fedora Core 5 Linux Enviroment. I do not know what exactly is the problem. so Please see the Snap shot the Problem. It Refrains from inspite of it showing as if to Open. On windows it works fine.
Snap Shot starts here
[oracle@sydney sqldeveloper]$ sh sqldeveloper
Oracle SQL Developer 1.0
Copyright (c) 2005 Oracle Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
Working directory is /home/oracle/sqldeveloper/jdev/bin
Ends Here
Please give me a Solution
Regards,
Sydney.

I had a problem getting it to run in Ubuntu when launching from an XFCE launcher. Basically the file sqldeveloper doesn't work. What I did was to copy sqldeveloper to SQLDeveloper, change the ./ to the full path ( in my case /home/username/sqldeveloper/ ), then launch SQLDeveloper instead of sqldeveloper. Then it all worked fine.

Problem in launching newly installed SQL Developer in Linux

In order to install ORacle SQL Developer for linux, I tried to install JDK 5.0 according to the instruction. I downloaded the files and installed it. But when running the sqldeveloper, I got the error message:
Error: This product requires a Java(TM) Platform 5.0 runtime.
You are using 1.4.2 from /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0/jre
Yes, in directory /usr/lib/jvm, there are:
java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0, jre, jre-1.4.2, jre-1.4.2-gcj, jre-gcj
But rpm -qa|grep jdk returned:
jdk-1.5.0_10-fcs
How can I resolve this issue?

you are running SQL Developer using gcc's runtime environment.
just set JAVA_HOME to the dir where jdk1.5 is installed, then PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH, and it should work.

SQL Developer on Linux hangs when disconnecting after VPN reconnect

Hello,
I have a problem with using connections after general link failure (Cisco VPN disconnect in my case, lost of route to Oracle DB).
When I reconnect to a VPN and I'll try to disconnect from a previously opened (before general link failure) connection, I need
to wait more than 10 minutes to complete this process. SQL Developer is completely unusable during this time.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect to VPN
2. Open connection in SQL Developer to host accessible only by this VPN
3. Restart VPN
4. Try to do anything with this connection (disconnect, execute sql in opened SQL Worksheet, view tables, etc.)
This bug is not new in recent versions, I'm using SQL Developer from over 2 years and this bug was always with me. But if I remember correctly in earlier versions (<3.0) I couldn't reuse the connection to execute sql (hanging SQL Developer for more than 10 minutes) but disconnecting would succeed without a problem.
Maybe SQL Developer should move connection management to separate thread to resolve this issue... or is there another solution?
I'm using SQL Developer 3.1.07.42 @ Linux 3.0.4
For VPN connectivity I use vpnc
When I restart VPN connection I'm loosing TUN interface and all routes.
I have tested this issue on a few versions of SQL Developer on Windows XP, including 3.1.07. There is no problem with disconnecting after vpn failure on Windows.
Maybe I should fill some bug report? When I can do such thing? Metalink?
Best regards,
Irek Slonina

Hi Irek,
Possibly you can resolve this issue by altering the type of the connection that becomes non-responsive upon a VPN reconnect. What type are you currently using: Basic, TNS, etc?
In this forum thread (for Windows, unfortunately, not Linux), although different from your case, the solution used Thick/OCI driver, not Thin/Basic:
Windows 7 VPN
I have no VPN client on Linux (much less vpnc), only Cisco AnyConnect on Win XP, so I cannot test your scenario.

Gary

Help with starting sql developer

Hi everyone
I have had oracle express and sql developer on my laptop before untill my hard drive went, now iv installed them again but when I start sql developer I make a new connection then go to create a new user, but when I click create new user, there is no list under the "Roles" tab as there should be, its just a blank grey screen. Has anyone had this problem before who might be able to help?
I am kind of in a rush because I need it for a college assesment on monday so any help will be really appreciated:)
Thanks
Ryan

Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you post you need to provide the full sql developer that you are using and all of the details about what you are doing and the problem you are having.
You haven't provided the version, what user you are connnecting as, what type of connection it is (normal, sysdba), the type of connection you are connecting as (thin, oci), the JDBC jar version if using one, the Oracle client or server versions.

Error while starting SQL Developer (3.1.07)

It appears the SVN plug-in is giving you troubles, normally you should be able to disable it from
Tools -> Preferences -> Extensions -> Versioning SupportAssuming you do not need it.
Since your system is no longer starting you might have to manually remove the related jar file from the installation, this file is usually located in:
[SQLDev_install_dir]/jdev/extensionsand it's name is:
oracle.jdeveloper.subversion.jar

Small bug and fix starting SQL Developer on Mac OS X

I couldn't find anyone else mentioning this so I'll write it in.
If I started SQL Developer in one user I couldn't start it again in another user, even after quitting out of the first. I would double click the icon and it would do the animated "zoom" but then nothing.
I tracked it down to a problem in SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/MacOS/sqldeveloper.sh. When it redirects the output of the call to the start scipt in the /sqldeveloper/bin directory it would fail because the /tmp/sqldeveloper-startup.log was owned by the first user to start the App (since the /tmp was cleared anyway). My umask didn't give it permission to start overwriting that file.
To fix it I changed the last line in SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/MacOS/sqldeveloper.sh to:
bash ./sqldeveloper >/tmp/sqldeveloper-startup.$$.log
so that the PID was now part of the name and each initiation of SQL Developer would have its own.
You could also change the last line to:
bash ./sqldeveloper >$(mktemp /tmp/sqldeveloper-startup.log.XXXXX)
which would guarantee more uniqueness but wouldn't let you know which process was using the file.
Savvy Mac users can edit the script themselves by right-clicking on the SQLDeveloper.app and selecting "Show Package Contents". You may have to temporarily change the file permissions to let you edit it.
For the record I'm running SQL Developer 1.2.0 on a Mac TiBook G4 867MHz with Mac OS X 10.4.10 and 1Gb RAM (and it is still maddeningly slow because Java fundamentally sucks).
-Bion

Ok - I think I found it.
Go into ~/Library/Application Support/SQL Developer/system1.5.3.57.83/o.ide.11.1.1.0.22.49.44 (or similar for whatever version you're running) and edit the settings.xml file there.
Look for a block that looks like:
<Item class="oracle.javatools.util.Pair">
<first class="java.lang.String">delete-previous</first>
<second class="oracle.ide.keyboard.KeyStrokes">
<data>
<Item class="javax.swing.KeyStroke">[0]</Item>
</data>
</second>
</Item>
and change it to:
<Item class="oracle.javatools.util.Pair">
<first class="java.lang.String">delete-previous</first>
<second class="oracle.ide.keyboard.KeyStrokes">
<data>
<Item class="javax.swing.KeyStroke">[8]</Item>
</data>
</second>
</Item>
I'm not sure why, but this file seems to always contain the incorrect keystroke value when I do a fresh install of SQL Developer. I always have to go in and change that value by hand. I've tried choosing any number of the accelerator presets, but none of them make the delete key work.

Cant use sql developer in linux Env.

cant use sql developer in linux Env. the "enter" is not work well.
please give me some advices.thanks

Sounds like the old and known problem with the accelerators, try:
Preferences - Accelerators - Load Preset - DefaultHope that helps,

MSVCR100.dll missing on your computer when starting SQL Developer

Hello,
I receive the error MSVCR100.dll is missing on your computer when I try to start SQL Developer.
I completed the following installations:
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- Oracle DB Express Edition
- Java JDK 1.7.0_02
When I now try to start SQL Developer I receive the error message that MSVRC100.dll is missing on my computer.
Does anybody experience the same problem and how can it be resolved.
Thanks
Bernd

Hi,
Not sure what happened to that link, but I as far as I know it should make absolutely no difference for security purposes if one chooses the latest Java 7 update or the the latest Java 6 update. I would guess both code lines are patched to same level.
Perhaps you are referring to recent press about vulnerabilities in Java 7 updates _06 and _07? Those issues only apply to browser plug-ins, totally unrelated to SQL Developer, and those can be disabled easily without removing Java.
The official recommendation is to use the latest Java 6 update (jdk1.6.0-35) for SQL Developer. We recommend avoiding Java 7 due to bugs, but bugs unrelated to security.

Is there any known problem using Oracle SQL Developer 3.0.04 with Java 1.7?

I'm new to Oracle. I have installed Oracle SQL Developer 3.0.04 and Java 1.7. When I run Oracle SQL Developer, I will get the window Running this product is supported with minimum Java version of 1.6.0_04 and a maximum version less than 1.7. This product will not be supported....
Is there any known problem using Oracle SQL Developer 3.0.04 with Java 1.7?
I have already downloaded Java 1.6 but don't know whether I need to uninstall Java 1.7 first. If don't need to uninstall Java 1.7, how can I set Oracle SQL Developer to run with Java 1.6?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
One prior post discussing the use of Java 7 is:
SQL Developer 3.0 and Java SE 7?
There is no need to uninstall any Java version (except if you have disk space constraints) and no problem switching between Java versions. This may be controlled in the sqldeveloper.conf file in your ...\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin directory via the SetJavaHome line. For example:
#SetJavaHome ../../jdk
SetJavaHome C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_26
#SetJavaHome C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0Regards,

How to start sql developer(1.1) on mac osx

After download and unzip it, just double-click the sqldeveloper icon, doesn't it?
But after i double-click it, there is an icon on the bottom for a while, very soon. then it disappears.
Any help will be highly apprecaited!!!

Hi
I've got the same error starting SQL Developer 1.1.2 on mac os 10.4.9. In my case this was because I've had a blank in the path.
I've initialy located my SQL Developer on a USB Stick with the name "no name" which was mounted on /Volumes/no name path to SQL Dev was /Volume/no name/oracle/sqldeveloper/......
After changing the name of the stick to noname the path has changed to /Volume/noname/oracle/sqldeveloper/.....
and then everything worked fine.
An other hint, If you copy sqldeveloper.sh into sqldeveloper.command you may start the Developer with a double click.
By the way, I'm using the multiplattform package of the SQL Developer and put it on a USB Stick. I'm now able to take one copy of SQL Developer and Configuration with me and start it on Mac OS and/or Windows.

Problems Starting SQL developer

Hi Guys,
I'm new to using oracle through Lynx.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx.
I have installed Oracle 11g R1.
I have successfully installed oracle, created and connected to the DB. I have exported HR and OE schemas from a windows machine and imported to my Lynx based database successfully.
So Oracle is working correctly though SQLplus.
My problem is when I start using SQLDeveloper.
When I go to "/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/sqldeveloper"; and run the sqldeveloper.sh it seems to open fine, I see the GUI.
My problem is that we I try to create a new connection I am getting errors.
The GUI says: The network adaptor could not establish a connection.
Whereas the terminal states...
Oracle SQL Developer

Using oracle.home=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/sqldeveloper
Using ide.user.dir=/home/oracle/.sqldeveloper
Addin: Translator PlSql is trying to register a input type (.plsql) which conflicts with translator PlSql who already using this input type
My java -version is :

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.8.1) (6b18-1.8.1-0ubuntu1)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 16.0-b13, mixed mode)
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Could you past output from
lsnrctl statusOracle can work fine via SQLPlus locally, but if services are not visible via listener you can't connect to database from client like SQLDeveloper.
Your GUI started so it's not a problem of your java - it's rather something missing in your database installation.

Problem starting SQL Developer

Hi,
i have a little bit confusing problem on a Virtual Machine.
I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 (32-bit) as a Virtual Machine. On this machine i have two different versions of the SQL Developer:
- SQL Developer 1.0.0.15.57
- SQL Developer 2.1.
When i try to start the sqldeveloper.exe for SQL Developer 2.1.1.64.39 i get the following error message:
Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item.
The funny thing is, when i start the SQL Developer 1.0.0.15.57 everything works fine.
Which permission need to be set that i can start the SQL Developer 2.1.1.64.39 or do anyone have other solutions for this problem?
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Greetings.
Edited by: user8950278 on 07.07.2010 09:46

First, try to run once as Administrator, this might create necessary associations.
If that didn't work, I'd say it might be related to the settings, which are now stored under the (hidden) Application Data of your Windows profile. See that you have permissions there.
You can also run from \sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.exe, to see if you get any exceptions or more info in the opened console.
Hope that helps,
K.
