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,
Stefan Wagner

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.

SQL Developer v2.1.0.6 Build MAIN-63.73 doesn't show query results for "select * from all_scheduler_jobs;" when I click on "Run Statement" icon at toolbar but when I click on "Run Script" the results appear.
Is this a bug?

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.

ORA-01041 Error while query in PL/SQl Developer

Hi All,
I am trying to execute a simple select statement in PL/SQL developer. After the query gets executed i am getting a error
ORA-01041 internal error. hostdef extension doesn`t exist.
But when i perform the same query in sqlplus, i do not receive this kinda error.
Does any 1 have a idea on this error?

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

Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler Versus SQL Developer

Friends,
I'm trying to understand the differences between Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler and the ability to use the Data Modeler in SQL Developer.
I've looked at both products home pages on OTN, http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/datamodeler/index.html & http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/index.html and would appreciate your comments on my findings so far
1) The Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler is a stand-a-lone chargeable product whereas the use of the Data Modeler functionality of SQL Developer is free
2) The Data Modeler functionality within SQL Developer is basically a "viewer" I can create ERD's of my existing tables by dragging them into the modeler from the object navigator but that's about it. I can't save the diagram for later use or use it to change the structure of the table(s)
3) If I need to have "Oracle Designer" like ERD capabilities then I need to use Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler (after purchase!)
4) Are there any other differences I have missed?
Thanks in advance

You can open any diagram created in the stand-alone product in the SQL Developer Data Modeler Viewer and navigate through all property dialogs and the full navigator, just like you can in the stand-alone product, but with no update capabilities. This allows developers to fully review the model and all properties, without making changes.

Optimizing an SQL Query using Oracle SQL Developer

Hi ,
Currently i am using Oracle SQL Developer as my Database IDE .
Is it possible to use Orqcles SQLDeveloper for the purpose of Optimizing an SQL Query ??
For example assume i am having a query as :
Select from Tranac_Master where CUST_STATAUS='Y' and JCC_REPORT='N'*
Could anybody please tell me how can i use Oracle SQL Developer to optimize this query or any other SQL queries ??
Please share your ideas , thanks in advance .

1. Your query looks very simplistic as it is, so I fail to see how you can better optimise it (unless 'Tranac_Master' is a view, in which case I'd need to see the view details).
2. No tool can automagically optimise your SQL to any degree of practical use. Very minor adjustments may be possible automatically, but really it is a question of you knowing your data & database design accurately, and then you applying your expert knowledge to tune it.

Changing password within SQL Developer

Hi, Thanks for the great product. I'm beginning to migrate from TOAD to SQL Developer and have run into one minor snafu. The one minor feature missing within SQL Developer (unless I missed it) is to easily change a password like TOAD in the UI (This is a common complaint among other devlopers trying it out). I work on a lot of seperate databases occasionally and have to reset the passwords every 60 days.
I would like to request this minor feature.
How can I change my password without using SQL Plus, but within SQL Developer? Is there a way?
Thank you!

Sounds like a good enhancement and I will record it. In the meanwhile, just open a SQL Worksheet and issue your command.

SQL developer 3.0 - Few Query Builder issues

Hi All,
I have just started using SQL Developer 3.0 so have not fully browsed thru all of the available options in SQL Developer. I have been trying to work on creating and editing sql statements using Worksheet and Query Builder.
I am working on to test this tool so I can give it to the users for them to try and use it - they used to work on the old Query Builder 6.0.7....since it is already de-supported long back to work against 11g database, I am hoping to tell them to use SQL developer 3.0 instead.
Hence, if an user doesn't know how to write a sql statement, he/she would try to do the same using Query Builder.
So, the following questions are more aligned towards a normal user who would try to create a query in the Query Builder window, instead of directly typing a sql statement in the Worksheet window.
1) How to establish/create a relationship between tables after you have dragged down the tables into the Query Builder window? - i tried but couldn't get any options!.
2) Sometimes I see 'Connection closed' error when i try to run a query. How to refresh the connection without opening a new Connection tab?
- I tried this but evertytime it opens up a new connection tab, while the old tab is still present.
3) Columns in the Expression field in Query Builder window can ONLY be displayed in the result set, if the 'output' box on the extreme left of the 2nd section in Query Builder window is checked.
Now when i try to check the output box for an expression (with few aggregate functions), the 'Grouping' check box automatically gets checked, which when run throws an ORA-00934 error: group function is not allowed here...but when I de-select the 'Grouping' check box, the 'output' box also gets un-checked!.
How to solve this out?
Please let me know the resolutions of the above - much appreciated.
With Regards,
Pamir

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...

Pivot Dynamic for Query in Oracle SQL DEVELOPER ??

Hi
I have the following question, someone who has a dynamic pivot.
I need a dynamic query that is that when the transfer column to row do receiving any type declared as these can change data.

I mean that in this case the stages of the project will be changing.

Hello,
Do you want to do this in an SQL - Developer application-setting or by using any SQL / PLSQL block or both ?

SQL Developer 3.0 EA1 - Query Result assumes keyboard focus

In the Early Adopter 1 release of SQL Developer and noticed that after running a statement in a worksheet the focus for the keyboard is now in the query results pane. This change in behavior from version 2 is slightly disruptive and makes it harder to iteratively build queries or search for data without having to continuously keep moving the cursor back to the worksheet. I am using the linux version if it makes a difference and it happens both when click the run statement button or use the ctrl+enter shortcut key.
I have been trying out the preview release and all around it looks good and has some very nice improvements. Just this and the missing export to clipboard are the only issues I've had so far.
Edited by: user5490329 on Oct 14, 2010 9:06 AM

I agree with the majority of people here that this is annoying and I'd also prefer to leave the input focus in the SQL Worksheet after I hit CTRL+ENTER, so I am looking forward to the fix.
However, in some cases, it would come in handy if there was a shortcut key to quickly get to the query result tab, just like in TOAD, where F6 is used for this purpose. The same key is reserved for autotrace in SQL Developer, so another function key could be used.

SQL Query works in SQL Developer, but not always in MII

Hi all,
I encountered a strange behaviour with a query in MII 12.0.2. Maybe someone has a guess what happens.
I have created a SQL query which runs against Oracle 10g tables. I have tested the query using SQL Developer, and it throws a couple of lines, depending on the contents of the where clause.
Next I have copied the query to a MII SQL Query (FixedQuery). However, the output is empty most of the time, without showing any errors. After some testing I got the impression that older data are not displayed, but there is no time or date setting in MII.
As the SQL Developer always returns rows, I am unsure where to search for the error.
Regards
Michael

Michael,
I would imagine that you have sub-select statements in your FixedQuery, all which will fall subject to the RowCount property of the query template (SQL defaults to 100), which is issued through the driver and typically honored by the database when returning the data from your request.
Most of the native database query tools allow you to make unbound query requests with no limit on rows, which would probably account for the difference between SQL Developer and the query template.
For SQLServer it's ROWCOUNT: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188774.aspx
For Oracle it's ROWNUM: http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/06-sep/o56asktom.html
So the answer would be not to make the query template row count some rediculous number, but more appropriately refine the way that the database request is issued.
Regards,
Jeremy

Query works in SQL Developer but not in APEX

The query below runs fine in SQL Developer. I have tried entering it both as a Report Region based on SQL Query and in a Dynamic PL/SQL Region. I get different error messages in each. In the Dynamic PL/SQL Region I get the error that an INTO clause is expected in the select
statement. When I place it in a Report based on SQL query I get an error that there is an invalid column and to use column alias. What I am attempting to do is add the first query result to the second query result.
Select (select count(lead_id) from t3_leads
WHERE
t3_leads.market_id = 'Gurnee'
AND (T3_Leads.Last_Campaign = 'Hand Addressed' OR T3_Leads.Last_Campaign is null)
AND
((TRUNC(sysdate) - TRUNC(T3_Leads.LAST_MAILED_DATE)) > 60
OR T3_Leads.Last_Mailed_Date is null))
+
(select count(lead_id)from t3_leads where zip in (select zip from t3_overlap where t3_leads.zip = t3_overlap.zip)
and
market_id <> 'Gurnee'
and ((TRUNC(sysdate) - TRUNC(T3_Leads.LAST_MAILED_DATE)) > 60
OR T3_Leads.Last_Mailed_Date is null))
from dual

Hi,
you need a column alias for your "result" before the final 'from dual':
Select (select count(lead_id) from t3_leads
WHERE
t3_leads.market_id = 'Gurnee'
AND (T3_Leads.Last_Campaign = 'Hand Addressed' OR T3_Leads.Last_Campaign is null)
AND
((TRUNC(sysdate) - TRUNC(T3_Leads.LAST_MAILED_DATE)) > 60
OR T3_Leads.Last_Mailed_Date is null))
+
(select count(lead_id)from t3_leads where zip in (select zip from t3_overlap where t3_leads.zip = t3_overlap.zip)
and
market_id 'Gurnee'
and ((TRUNC(sysdate) - TRUNC(T3_Leads.LAST_MAILED_DATE)) > 60
OR T3_Leads.Last_Mailed_Date is null)) result
from dualPlease let me know if this works.
Thanks
Sandro

Query works in SQL Developer but not in Oracle APEX

The query below runs and produces the correct result in SQL Developer, but when I try to put it into a PL/SQL process in Apex I get the error shown. There is no semi-colon at the end of the query in APEX.
The error is:
ORA-06550: line 10, column 54: PL/SQL: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended ORA-06550: line 2, column 1: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored ORA-06550: line 11, column 21: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "end-of-file" when expecting one of the following: ( begin case declare end exception exit for goto if loop mod null pragma raise return select update while with.
The query is:
SELECT *
FROM
(SELECT *
from T3_LEADS
WHERE
(SYSDATE - Last_Mailed_Date) > 60 OR Last_Mailed_Date is null
WHERE MARKET_ID = 'Salt_Lake_City' AND rownum <= 100

That is because when you run a SQL in SQL*Plus or SQLDeveloper the output is displayed on the screen, but in Apex you need to select those values into variables so you can do something with the data.
delcare
v_emp_id    employee.emp_id%type;
begin
select emp_id
    into v_emp_id
    from employee
where lname = 'JOHNSON' and fname = 'BILLY';
-- Then do something with that data
if v_emp_id between 1 and 10 then
end if;
end;Probably a bad SQL for an example. For your SQL though, you are selecting * which you would be able to select into a rowtype variable, but you are probably going to start having problems like "Exact fetch returns more that one row" since your query will probably return more that one value. In those cases you want to use cursors, and loop through the data one record at a time. You can Google all of that.
