Problems with SQL Developer 2.1

I have upgraded to SQL Developer 2.1 from 1.5.5.
Iam presenting my overall experience with SQL Developer 2.1 compare to 1.5.5 version.
If the session expires, reconnecting is really pain in all SQL Developer versions. It opens a new blank window every time we reconnect, we have to copy all the things into new window every time.
when i tried to execute an insert as select statement it is showing nothing, but it's doing something in the background.
My templates are not working for (ctrl+Shift+T) after i upgraded to 2.1 from 1.5.5.
Things I tried and liked in 2.1 are*
1. 2.1 gives the exact time taken to return the no.of rows (Ex: If it returns first 50 rows, it will display time taken for that particular 50 rows only).
Things I did not like in 2.1*
1. When we try to expand a node, it shows "Loading and folder icon" (I didn't like the folder icon showing up every time)
2. I did not like the new icon for SQL Developer 2.1 itself. (It has become hard to identify the 2.1 on the task bar with this icon)
3. I did not like the close(i.e., x) on the worksheet tab.
4. Look and feel wise 1.5.5 is better than 2.1
Thanks!

Regrettably we can't please all the people all the time.
The little cross was a request specifically from the user community. We had complaints that users inadvertently closed windows and wanted a permanent symbol to show the closing tab. This took much effort and time to finally introduce into the product as it had to be approved through usability teams and introduced into the underlying IDE.
The release notes explain that there is no longer a key sequence for the Code Templates, start typing your code and it should appear in the code insight.
The icon updates on the taskbar was also an update based on user feedback.
While there won't be many changes between the release candidate and production, I do remind you that you are working with beta software and not production software.
Thank you for taking the tiem to post your feedback. I hope you'll find lots to really like in the latest release. Take a look through the 2.1 New Features list.

Problems with SQL Developer 2.3.0 on Ubuntu

I installed on my 'Acer Aspire one' Ubuntu 9.04 and OracleXE and SQLDeveloper 2.3.0.
The connection to the database functions.
(I've been connected as HR)
But when I use the 'Database Navigator' and select 'Schemas -> HR (default) -> Tables' than happens nothing. I can not see any table.
It's the same with other db objects, except procedures and sequences.
When I use SQL Statement, I can see that tables.
A second problem I have with the windows coming up after any action.
There are no scrall bars to see the complete content of the windows.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot
Gerhard

No, beacuse you are not using Oracle SQL Developer. You are using a third-party product developed by SOLYP Informatik GmbH. I suggest that you go to their web site [http://sqldeveloper.solyp.com/] for support.

Problems with sql developer and win 8 64 bit

Hi there,
It's my first time in this forum, I am a student programmer and I have many problems to install SQL Developer on Oracle Database 12c. I actually managed to install both, but I could not make them work. My question is SQL Developer works on the Windows 8 platform 64-bit?
I'm going crazy, help me please .... Thanks for a while!!!

SqlDeveloper should have no problem working in Win 8, but i do not think it's a supported platform yet.
The Database could be a little more troublesome, if you only need a working database environment to make experiments you could find the "pre-built" Virtual Machines useful.
For Win 8 and 12c try using the EA release of SQLDeveloper 4, because if I'm not mistaken the current 3.2.2 could have some problems with 12c.

Problem with SQL Developer (Version 1.5.4)

Dear All,
I have two questions as stated below while using the SQL Developer:
1) I have installed the application to a few PCs; while others are using the system without problems, on my PC, whenever I have entered / opened a SQL scripts on my SQL Loader, I cannot move my cursors within the script area and I could not utilizing the Backspace or my keyboard to modify my script. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times but the outcome is the same. Anyone has experienced this before? Any solutions?
2) Apparently, whenever we have run a script with results of more than 5000 records, there would be an error message telling the limitation. How could we overcome this? What are the settings needed?
Thank you in advance on all the helps given.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Stephan

1. opened a SQL scripts on my SQL Loader ? That's not an editor. If you meant SQL Developer, try Preferences - Accelerators - Presets - Default.
2. Preferences - Database - Worksheet - Max rows to print in a script.

Statement terminator problems when exporting data with SQL Developer 3.2

I've ran across what appears to be a bug with SQL Developer 3.2.20.09. If someone can let me know if this is indeed a bug, or just something I need to configure differently, please let me know.
The problem is related to exporting a database as a SQL script, and terminator characters at the end of "create" statements, especially when columns have comments, and problems that occur when using SQLPlus to run the export script to create the tables. With the old SQL Developer 1.5.4, with the "Terminator" and "Pretty Print" options checked, statements like the following are generated:
-- DDL for Type NUM_ARRAY
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "NUM_ARRAY"
IS TABLE OF NUMBER(20)
-- DDL for Sequence MYTABLE_SEQ
CREATE SEQUENCE "MYTABLE_SEQ" MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 CACHE 20 NOORDER NOCYCLE ;
-- DDL for Table MYTABLE
CREATE TABLE "MYTABLE"
(     "MYTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" NUMBER,
     "COL3" NUMBER
-- DDL for Table ANOTHERTABLE
CREATE TABLE "ANOTHERTABLE"
(     "ANOTHERTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" VARCHAR2(1024),
     "COL3" VARCHAR2(1024)
COMMENT ON COLUMN "ANOTHERTABLE"."ANOTHERTABLE_ID" IS 'This is a comment.';
When I then run the script using SQLPlus, everything works fine. However, with SQL Developer 3.2.20.09, with the same options enabled, the same statements are generated like this:
-- DDL for Type NUM_ARRAY
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "NUM_ARRAY"
IS TABLE OF NUMBER(20)
-- DDL for Sequence MYTABLE_SEQ
CREATE SEQUENCE "MYTABLE_SEQ" MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 CACHE 20 NOORDER NOCYCLE ;
-- DDL for Table MYTABLE
CREATE TABLE "MYTABLE"
(     "MYTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" NUMBER,
     "COL3" NUMBER
-- DDL for Table ANOTHERTABLE
CREATE TABLE "ANOTHERTABLE"
(     "ANOTHERTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" VARCHAR2(1024),
     "COL3" VARCHAR2(1024)
COMMENT ON COLUMN "ANOTHERTABLE"."ANOTHERTABLE_ID" IS 'This is a comment.';
Notice all of the extra slashes in there. If a slash is not used as a statement terminator, SQLPlus treats slashes as a command to repeat the last SQL statement, which causes many errors about tables or sequences already existing. So, I tried removing the "Terminator" flag from the export options. This lead to statements that looked a bit more promising:
-- DDL for Type NUM_ARRAY
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "NUM_ARRAY"
IS TABLE OF NUMBER(20)
-- DDL for Sequence MYTABLE_SEQ
CREATE SEQUENCE "MYTABLE_SEQ" MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 CACHE 20 NOORDER NOCYCLE
-- DDL for Table MYTABLE
CREATE TABLE "MYTABLE"
(     "MYTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" NUMBER,
     "COL3" NUMBER
-- DDL for Table ANOTHERTABLE
CREATE TABLE "ANOTHERTABLE"
(     "ANOTHERTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" VARCHAR2(1024),
     "COL3" VARCHAR2(1024)
COMMENT ON COLUMN "ANOTHERTABLE"."ANOTHERTABLE_ID" IS 'This is a comment.'
The big problem, though, is in the statement for the table with a comment. Notice that there are two statements, but there is not a semicolon after either of them. This unfortunately causes the "COMMENT" statement to be appended to the "CREATE TABLE" statement before being executed, which causes the table to not be created (which causes even more errors later on when the script attempts to populate the table with data).
So, it would appear that this is a bug, but I'm not sure. Is there a way I can configure the export options to make SQL Developer export these statements like it used to in older versions?
Thanks,
-Bill

DB2 8.1 to Oracle 11g with SQL Developer 3.0

Hi,
I started migrating my DB2 8.1 to Oracle 11g, with SQL Developer 3.0
Basically, I need to migrate TABLES.
I followed these steps:
1) I created a new Oracle database, tablespaces, users, etc.
2) Then, I created both (DB2 and Oracle) connections into SQL Developer 3.0. All works fine.
3) I start capturing one table with the "Copy to Oracle" feature. Done with no errors.
But when I compare the table structure, I see the following problems in Oracle:
a) All fields are NULLABLE = YES. SQL Developer show this field property correctly in DB2: NULLABLE = NO, but not migrated the same!
SOLUTION: All I want is that SQL Developer simply migrating the same value who I have in the DB2. But how?
b) In DB2 I have one field property called COLUM DEFAULT. In Oracle this property is called DATA_DEFAULT. The SQL Developer show this field property correctly for the DB2 tables (for example: 0.0, ' ', etc), but don't migrated the same value! All fields are configured to DATA_DEFAULT = NULL.
SOLUTION: I think this occurs because NULLABLE is migrated with the value YES. Well, all I need is the same above...
NOTE: I tested the SWISSQL DATA MIGRATION software, and it works fine. All tables, field properties and data are migrated sucessfull. But this program is trial version!
Well, I think all of this are BUGS into SQL Developer.
Please, anyone to help me?
Regards,
Ylram

You listed a bunch of things but you didn't say what steps you actually performed and what the result was.
Did you 'Compile'the procedure? until you compile the procedure you can't debug it.
I just created a new procedure and when I select the body it displays in the 'Code' window on the right. But the 'Debug' icon is not enabled because the procedure was not compiled for debug.
When I compile it for debug the 'Debug' icon is now enabled.

Issue with SQL Developer connect to SQL server

I'm using "SQL Developer 2.1.1.64.45" to work on a migration project which needs to convert a SQL server database to a Oracle 11g database. But I got an issue when I setup the SQL server connection. The SQL Developer let me connect by selecting a SQL server database name (For example: Northwind), but once connected, it always connected to "master" database instead. The "SQL Developer" is running on Windows 7 Professional (x64) platform. My Oracle database is 11g, and SQL server database is SQL 2005. And my SQL server instance name is "SQL2005". Anyone have ever experienced this problem? Thanks in advance.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the feedback, lets stick with SQL Developer 3.
Correct me if I'm wrong,
You attempted to migrate from SQL Server to Oracle including target generation and datamove in one go, by filling in each step of the migration wizard to the end.
During the datamove you got
ORA-01000:maximum open cursor exceeded
So it looks like SQL Developer during the migration is not closing cursors fast enough and hits the maximum number of open cursors in your Oracle database.
I think the default max open cursors is 300 in Oracle.
There are a few things we can do here.
You should be able to see the new migration project in your Migration Projects navigator.
By navigating down the project tree to "Converted Database Objects" we can attempt the data move again by right clicking and choosing "Data Move".
But first I would restart SQL Developer so as to free up any lingering open cursors.
That may allow you to complete the data move, as the only cursors being open are being used in the data move and not some cursors which may have been left open from previous steps in the migration.
Now from my perspective I would like to identify where are we leaving open the cursors, so I'm going to setup some testcases my end to see if I can replicate.
From your perspective Id presume you just want to move on with the migration.
So if the above (shutdown and attempt just the data move) doesnt workyou could
A) Increase the MAX OPEN CURSORs on your Oracle databases so it complete the data move
or
B) Use the offline data move technique.
A) Increase MAX OPEN CURSORs
This wiki explains how to do that, looks like 1000 is fairly common, but even a much larger number is not a problem
http://wiki.oracle.com/page/OPEN_CURSORS
ALTER SYSTEM SET OPEN_CURSORS = 10000;
OR
B) Offline Data Move
If you are moving large amounts of data (say > 1GB), then the standard data move (we call it online), which just uses JDBC to SELECT * FROM and INSERT INTO may not cut the mustard.
In this case you can try using our offline technique. SQL Developer will generate a set of scripts for you.
unload_script.bat will use SQL Servers BCP tool to dump out the table data into DAT files.
oracle_ctl.bat will load the data in the DAT files into Oracle.
As we know the names of all the tables, columns ,both SQL Server and Oracle, we can generate fairly good scripts.
The benefit of this technique is large amounts of data can be migrated and you get to use tools designed to dump data and load in data, so you have better error logging and tweaking.
To attempt this in the Migration Wizard , Data Move page, select offline.
If you can describe your database a bit (number of tables, number of procedures, amount of data to migrate) I may be able to define my testcase better so I can replicate the issue.
Thanks

Double click to open .sql files with sql developer on mac osx

hi,
I am trying to double click a .sql file and open it with SQL Developer on Mac OSX lion. I have associated .sql files to SQL Developer. On clicking the file it opens the SQL developer application but does not open the actual .sql file. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello,
Did you find any solution to your problem ? My SQL Developer worked fine and could open additional SQL files. Now it only opens the first one when starting SQL Developer. Additionnal files cannot be opened. Even running sqldeveloper.exe from command line with a SQL file as parameter doesn't help.
I'm on Windows 7, 64 bit, but the environment may not necessarily be the cause.

Can't login with username containing german umlaut with SQL Developer 2.1

hello,
we run SQL Developer on W2K.
In SQL Developer Release 1.5 we have no problems connecting with a username containing a german umlaut (like "jörg"). Now we tested Version 2.1 and fail. The error message is ORA-01017.
sqlplus or TOAD also haven't any problems - just SQL Developer 2.1.
