Query Builder and SQL-Developer

Hello everyone,
My proposal is to customize SQL-Developer (via Tools > Preferences ...) so that the end user can use it without danger for the data.
Example: the end user can only create reports, without possibility of drop, update, delete, etc.
The paragraph “Query Builder” of the article “ [Building Queries Visually|http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/08-mar/o28sql.html] ” (Oramag march/april 2008, page 59) inspired this question.
Please, vote for this proposal!
Thank you
Jean-Louis

I overlayed the pre-release versionsDo you mean you installed in the same directory?
Don't do that.
There's a system directory (sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\system) which holds settings and everything, which very well might be corrupted to be used for a newer release.
Try deleting it, it will be regenerated at next startup. Or even better: re-install in another directory all together...

  • Visual query  builder in SQL developer ...

    hi
    Thank you for reading my post
    when we can expect a visual query builder in sql Developer ?
    also , how i can make an auto increment field in SQL develoepr ?
    Thanks

    I can't answer your first question.. but the second has been hashed over a few times. In short, there are no auto-increment fields in Oracle. Instead there are sequences which are more complicated to use, but much more versitile.

  • Query Builder within SQL Developer 2.1 versus Query Builder Version 6.0.7.1

    Dear all,
    dear Sue Harper,
    we use Oracle 10g (upgrade to 11g is planed) and used the Oracle Query Builder Version 6.0.7.1 by now unless we got to know about the SQL Developer 2.1 including the Query Builder a few weeks ago to produce our SQL statements an efficient way.
    Even tho the SQL Developer 2.1 Query Builder already has some nice features, like sorting the data fields ascending, export to excel, etc, that the Oracle Query Builder Version 6.0.7.1 did not have had, we miss some essential features, like the in-statement, define column, etc while on the other side tables are not included in SQL-code unless fields are selected or i.e. date fields cannot be queried in the where conditions.
    I read the release notes and know that the SQL Developer 2.1 Query Builder is scheduled for rewrite in the next release.
    Does it make any sense to summarized all things we noticed and get in touch with whomever it may concern?
    Btw, if it would be possible to define a location for the stored connections within the SQL Developer 2.1 it would be very helpful... When starting SQL Developer 2.1 in our Windows Vista network environment it never finds the connection settings (file) automatically and we have to re-import the connections from a pre-defined directory.
    Nevertheless, the SQL Developer 2.1 is a pretty user-friendly and most times reliable tool we are thankful for.
    Kind regards,

    Yep, I saw your post; sorry for not replying, but i thought it's pretty the same problem i have. ;)
    The missing possibility to query date-fields in the where clause is really one of a many things i miss in the SQL Dev Query Builder, i am sure you use an "in" statement as well as we do. I think going back to the manual creation of the where condition like we had in Version 6.0.7.1.0 should be okay with most users, at least additional to the current solution as long as the rest of the query can be built within the graphic user interface. Further to save and open a query in gui mode is really, really important for us. Not to mention that the boxes for the tables cannot be stretched over a certain extend and i cant separate the columns any longer :/
    Other than that, SQL Developer is a pretty nice tool in my eyes, it's free and hopefully Version 3.0 will be closer to what we would like the SQL Developer to be like.

  • Query Builder in 10g Developer Suite

    I am accustomed to using previous versions of Oracle developer (2000,6 i...), and there was "Query Builder", which is very useful for us, especially when we do statistics and complex Reports.
    Now the Staff has chosen 10g Developer Suite that unfortunately there was no "Query Builder". Is it someone can help me find such a tool like it(query Builder) in Oracle 10g.
    I saw an almost similar to Oracle SQL Developer but can not totally replace the "query Builder "I didn't find for example a way to insert a calculated field in the Query of Oracle SQL Developer, it's like SQL PLus, and the same case with Toad.

    hi,
    you can use Oracle application express tool,its a application development tool,but it contain query builder,try youy best.

  • Query Builder and 8i

    Is it possible to use Query Builder with 8i?
    I installed it but was unable to connect to the starter database installed with 8i.
    I installed the Query Builder(and Project Builder) into a different directory from the 8i install.
    When QB starts, it asks for the name, PW, and connection. I enter the N and PW and the instance of the 8i DB but it comes back with a transport error.
    1. Is Q Builder compatible with 8i?
    2. Is there a document describing how to set them up to work together?
    Thank you very much,

  • Using TOAD and SQL Developer to compare db objects in schemas in databases

    Hi All,
    My primary objective was to compare objects in schemas in two different databases and find out the differences,
    Execute DDL's in the database where objects are missing and syn schemas in two different databases.
    So I need to compare schemas in databases. Which tool would be helpful and will be user friendly to make a comparison of database objects existing in schemas in two different databases.
    I'd like to see if I can get a list of pro and cons between Toad and SQL Developer for comparing schemas pros and cons.
    Could you please also help me on navigation in SQL Developer to compare schemas.
    Connect to Source
    Connect to Target
    Compare schemas with different object types
    Find out differences
    Generate DDL's for the missing objects or for the objects in difference report
    Run them in missing instace(Source/Target)
    Make sure both are in sync.
    Thanks All

    Hi,
    Most dba type tools have this kind of functionality - personally i use plsqldeveloper but this is very similar to most other tools on the market. SQL Developer seems to rely on you needing the change management pack licence which you likely dont have and would be quite a large cost to roll out.
    I'd compare plsqldeveloper/toad/sqlnavigator etc and maybe the tools from redgate which look pretty good though i haven't used them.

  • Installing Oracle Database and SQL Developer

    Hi, I was looking for some help/advice in regards to installing an Oracle Database and SQL Developer onto a Windows 7 32bit machine. I have been asked to create a database to store data that I create through reports in Excel so I am required to create a local database but not sure how to go about doing this. Also not sure if I install the Express Edition or Oracle Database 11g R2. If somebody could please advise on how I can get this started or even any links/tutorials that would guide me in how to get this installed with a localhost.
    Thanks in advanc.

    Thanks guys, I have managed to install Oracle 11gR2 and I have setup a database using the dbca tool and I can connect to my new database. One thing that I have noticed is that when i look into my tables in sql developer i see loads of different tables i.e. def$_, logmnr_, etc and I am not sure why this is as I expected an empty tablespace.
    Thanks btw for all your help.
    One of the key principles of relational databases is that they use their own facilities to manage themselves.  That means the database management system uses the database to manage data about the database using exactly the same facilities (tablespaces, tables, user accounts, procedures, etc) that an application uses to keep data for the application. See "data dictionary"   So there is no such thing as a completely empty database.
    As said by others, you do NOT want to be creating your own tables under oracle's schemas (users) or in oracle's own tablespaces (esp. SYSTEM and SYSAUX).  Create your own user account/schema.  Create your own tablespace. Make that tablespace the default for that user.

  • Query Builder and Expanded Form in Search

    I've changed the labels of some metadata fields like content type. In the expanded form it shows OK, but in the query builder drop down it's still content type. How can I change it?
    tnx in advance

    Hi, where did you make the change of label?
    I use rules, so the way I do it (and it shows for both query builder and extended search) is by putting the value in the "use custom label" when I edit my rule.
    cheers

  • Where can I find more OBE like the one for Database xE and SQL Developer?

    Hi,
    I tried to post on the OBE forum but it is expired.
    I found the downloadable OBE, or tutorial, very good resources for me to learn Oracle, like the one for XE and SQL developer, which you can download, not just read online, and see as many times as you can, with flash stuffs inside,
    Will you make more this kind of OBE?
    Where can I find them?
    Peter

    Hi Hans,
    I know the above address you offered but those are
    not downloadble.So do what I do .... CTRL-S (save page)
    As an Oracle trainer, I consider the OBEs to be very important. I doubt that Oracle will get rid of them.
    However, it takes time to make them. I suspect that they are created when a new feature needs to be demonstrated and the product management has the resources available.
    I just wish they would make the original set from Oracle8i available. They provided some very important basics which have long since hit the archive pile.
    I'm sure that some of the ACEs would be happy to upgrade them to Oracle10g/11g level. I know I would be willing to contribute to that effort.

  • WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEVELOPER 2000 AND SQL DEVELOPER?

    Hello Everyone.I am new to oracle and want to know the difference between developer 2000 and sql developer in oracle.Pls?

    Developer 2000 is an application for making webforms that will be served on an Application Server, and accessed by the end users through an applet in their webbrowser.
    SQL Developer is a tool for administrating and manipulating data and structure of your database. Like a GUI version of SQL*Plus, not advisable for end users.

  • SQL Report not showing data - available in SQL Workshop and SQL Developer

    I am having an issue with developing a SQL Report in APEX 3.2.1. I run the code in both SQL developer and SQL Workshop and I get data pulled back (both against my development environment). When I run the same code in a SQL Report region, it returns no data available. Does anyone have any idea what would be causing this? Other regions on the page accessing different tables in the same schema return data without issue. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Freddie

    Could you explain the last comment a bit more. Here is a bit more info just in case I touch on the info with it. The db schema is BPAMGR, the Workspace is BPAMGR. We use the same schema for all of our reporting. All of our tables are in the same schema. We don't use any tables outside of this schema. Our APEX workspace has been associated to only this schema. The tables are able to be queried by SQL Workshop in the same APEX instance that the report application is under.

    Have a look at the reports help for the purpose header and trailer sections. Here is an exert:
    "Report sectioning enables you to define multiple layouts in the same report, each with a different target audience, output format, page layout, page size, or orientation. You can define up to three report sections, each with a body area and a margin area: the names of the sections are Header, Main, and Trailer. By default, a report is defined in the Main section. In the other sections, you can define different layouts, rather than creating multiple separate reports. If you wish, you can use the margin and body of the Header and Trailer sections to create a Header and Trailer page for your reports."

    PL/SQL Developer is a third-party tool and not from oracle.
    maybe you have better chances in the rdbms-forum where they know more about hostdef's
