Re: SQL Developer Problems and Feature Requests

"no ocijdbc10 in java.library.path"... What should i do with it?
I get it on the simplest of operations: changing (in fact setting) the connection password for the existing connection (defined by TNS/Connect Identifier). Oh, yes, there're workarounds, particularly export-edit-import, but don't you find it a bit weird?
BTW, i do not find a Save button there either, won't it be just appropriate? (Not allways a connection one's setting up for is already available on the spot).
Environment : OS: RHEL4, SQL Developer version: 1.0.0.15.57 (at least that's what About says), java - just stright form Sun, 1.5.0_09_b01; this was one i told SQL Developer to use. The default java in the system is Red Hat 3.4.6-3, though, i haven't changed that - should i?
TIA,
Uldis

I have had this issue with the Connection window with the TNS Connection Identifier method, but it appears to be related in some way to the other Oracle installations you have. For me (I am on Win XP), the error went away after installing the Oracle 10g client with Discoverer 10g Administrator. It then came back when I needed to rebuild my computer and installed my Oracle clients (I have three for various different products) in a different order, but was fixed that time by reordering my Oracle Homes via the Universal Installer and making my 10g Client first (Oracle Universal Installer -> Installed Products -> Environment)
Alternatives are to switch back to the TNS Network Alias method to record the password (unfortunately, even when entering the connection as a Network Alias it is saved as a Connection Identifier) or to just use the Basic tab instead of the TNS tab.

SQL Developer Problems and Feature Requests

Im in the process of comparing TOAD to SQL Developer and noticed the following bugs/features in SQL Developer:
1. An error message is correctly displayed when a database password has expired, but there isnt a way to go back into the database and change the password for that account. Can this critical feature be added?
2. There is no option to connect as sysdba or sysoper.
3. In the New / Select Database Connection window, I get the following error when double clicking on an existing connection defined using a TNS Network Alias: Status: Failure no ocijdbc10 in java.library.path. Any ideas? Connection was initially defined using the Network Alias button. I can connect under the Connections window, but not in the New / Select Database Connection window. Any ideas?
4. When displaying data in a table, the filter is not user friendly. You need to enter column names and the correct SQL syntax. It also does not allow you to cut and paste in column names. It would be very helpful/useful if it was more user friendly (GUI based) such as how Sorting is done and/or how it is done in TOAD.
5. When viewing referential constraints on a child table, it shows you information on the parent, but not if the parent is a child to something else. If you were a parent, it would be nice to see all child and their childrens children. TOAD does a nice job showing parent and child tables via a tree structure.
6. Comparing metadata between schemas would also be a very nice feature.
Im not sure if this is the place to post this but thought I would start here. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

1: You can always right click and have it open an sql*plus window and that will prompt for the new password. But I do agree that support for this should be built in.
2: This is a developer tool.. Use OEM for the dba stuff. I think that the worst thing that could happen to SQL Dev is to try to become everything for everyone like TOAD tries to.
3: Search the forum. Other users ran into this and I believe there is a workaround.
4: I like the current filtering on tables. So much simpler than most tools. I do agree that maybe there should be an advanced button with a filter builder and agree that column names should be copyable but would cringe if the free-form field disappeared. How many other tools can you write an inline query into the table viewer? Great feature IMHO

Logic Score Problems and Feature Requests...add yours here

I have made up a short document outlining some of the issues with notation side of Logic. because it includes screen shots that clearly indicate what they are, i have made up a pdf file you can download here:
http://www.stevenson.homechoice.co.uk/documents/LogicProScoreRequests.pdf
The issues dealt with are:
Incorrect display:
1. Beat groupings
2. Stem direction
3. Tuplet display problems
4. Missing barlines
Feature Request:
1. Tremelo and trill markings to be attached to notes
2. Wide Trills ie trills over a whole tone
3. Better more intelligent display of phrase markings.
4. Diverging Beams
Well, this will do for now from me. If anyone can think of anything more, please add it here, and i will send this off to Logic via the feedback tomorrow.

thanks for the reply - i really appreciate your support.
I think the notating side gets a little overlooked because developers concentrate all their efforts on the audio arms race.
i.e. manual selection of a specific voice layer
actually this isn't too difficult. there is a key command you can set for "select equal channels" which will allow you to select a specific voice layer. i use this a fair bit in conjuction with "deselect outside of locators".
and seperating out voices from a played in part is relatively easy with another couple of key commands "select lowest/highest note" again i use this in conjuction with "deselect outside of locators".
actually i could go on and on. this is the thing about logic. it allows you to customize all these fantastic key commands and develop workflows that suit you. i use all of the editors when i'm doing scores, because they all are handy for dealing with data in different ways. it is so fast and efficient and will bend to your will. BUT it will only take you so far.....it's so frustrating. like a ferrari with no wheels.
it is absolutely unbeatable for straight foirward film scores though. i just wish some of these issues were straightened out - and they're not major ones either. compared to audio implementation anyway.....

Web Album Export Problem and Feature request

I find that exporting a Smart Web Album is painfully slow. It's so slow that it's practically unusable. By my anecdotal estimate, it's about 10 times slower than Lightroom.
Anyone else seeing this behavior?
Also, as long as I'm at it, Apple needs to allow Aperture to upload web albums directly to an external site that is not a .mac site. How can Aperture be called a PRO app without this ability? Yes, I know if I wait forever for a web album to export files I can ftp on my own, but why not build it into Aperture (like Lightroom does).
-paul

Just to be sure I understand the semantics. In 1.5 what are now called web pages were called web galleries. Now web galleries refer to a new feature that was first introduced in iPhoto08.
If you are talking about Galleries, then that's .mac only because so much of that functionality is server side.
If your talking about web pages, your going to have to go "under the hood" and create links between them. I know no way to do this in Aperture. You need to know HTML/CSS or have a wysiwyg editor like Dreamweaver.
What I did was create a master page in Dreamweaver that linked to the various index pages from my Aperture web pages. You can do this w/o editing the pages that Aperture created, but you won't have cross navigation- meaning that they won't link to each other or back to the main page. The only way I know to do that is to add a menu to the pages created by Aperture.
In Dreamweaver, you can create a menu as a "Library Item" then put it on each of the pages.
There may be a more elegant solution, but I don't know what it is.

SQL developer starts and then disappears without any warning

Hi, guys:
I need to use SQL developer where there are existing connections. however, SQL developer 3.1 asked the java.exe location, and I chose java 6, now I can launch SQL developer but not able to continue running it. SQL developer starts and then disappears without any warning. Could anyone help me on this problem?
Thanks a lot!
Sam

Can you start the exe from the BIN subdirectory? That should open a command console, and maybe you can see any error messages there that explain what's happening. For step-by-step directions, here's some help:
http://www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2012/06/how-to-collect-debug-info-for-oracle-sql-developer/
OR
Install SQL Developer to a new directory and run it from there and see if that helps you get around your current install's issue.

BUGS and FEATURES REQUESTED. Please add to it.

I've been using the z10 for the past couple weeks and wanted to start a thread of comprehensive Bugs and Features Requested.
I've labeled Bugs by letters (A,B,C...) and Features Requested by numbers (1, 2, 3...) so that others can add sequentially.
BUGS
(Not listed in any particular order)
(A.) Contact App adds current date as birthday. When I edit my contact, the current date gets listed as the birthday in local contact.
(B.) Duplicate telephone numbers listed. Telephone numbers show up twice in my Contacts (e.g.., if I have the contact's cell saved in (000) 123-4567 format and the person has the number listed in Facebook, I get a duplicate entry of +10001234567).
(C.) Telephone numbers and emails are not actionable in Web pages. In webpages, I can't click on telephone number to call (e.g., I look up a phone number for a restaurant). I should be able to easily call or copy into the Phone App or E-mail App.
(D.) Auto capitulation for words on the word substitution list is wrong. For example, when the word substitution contains more than one word. I have "ru" change to "are you" but if the first letter is capitalized (R) then both words become capitalized words (Are You). I used to have shortcuts like "mysig" to create email signatures with legal disclaimers but I can't do that now.
(E.) Backspace delete doesn't work consistently. The Shift+Delete function seems only to work after moving the cursor. This feature is the Alt+Del action to delete words after the cursor.
(F.) All Emoticons do not list. Emoticons do not all fit on the the two screens (lists) of emoticons. I.e., two columns are missing from view and can be seen when sliding (swiping) between the lists. Also, sometimes when I select an emoticon, it doesn't correspond with the picture of the one I intended. I believe this error is related. As a separate note, there should be a way to see the underlying symbols of the emoticon. (Often times, other people don't have BlackBerrys so I'd like to know what symbols would be sent--my prior 9800 would show the characters as i scrolled through them).
(G.) BlackBerry keyboard doesn't always work in input fields. E.g., certain Web pages. (I found a work around; two finger swipe up from the bottom makes the keyboard appear)
(H.) Sent messages stay unread. This seems to be an issue when an app sends an email (e.g., share article). The email with the sent indicator (checkmark) stays bold and I have listed 1 unread email. I can't mark as read/unread but if I delete the sent email, my unread message gets cleared.
(I.) Contact already added but I get the option to add instead of view contact. For some contacts, I get the option to add to contacts in the action menu cascade when that person is already in my address book. This bug is for emails and text messages.
(J.) Cannot call from text message. When I hold a text message and select call under the action menu cascade, the OS opens up the phone app but doesn't call.
(K.) Composing messages by name. When composting messages, the input must be by first, middle and last name. It should be, instead, by string and include nickname. E.g., if the person's name is "Andrew B. Cameron" I must type the name in as such. I can't type in "Andrew Cameron" or "Andy Cameron."
Features Requested and Suggestions for Improved User Experience
(In no particular order)
1)      Option to reply in different ways from the Call List. Be able to select a name in a call list and have options to call, text or email the person. The action menu allows calls to other numbers but I can't choose to text or email the contact instead. Sometimes, I missed a call and want to reply via text because I’m not able to talk. (Long hold on the Torch 9800 trackpad button brought up the action menu allowing me to call, text, view history, add to speed dial, e-mail, delete, etc.)
2)      Option to reply in different ways from the Hub. Related to above, when selecting an item in the hub, have the option to contact the sender or caller with multiple different ways.
3)      Only show number once in contacts application. Tap on the number to bring up the "action" cascade menu with options to call or text the number. Why is the same number listed twice (once to call and below again to text it)?
4)      Timestamps for individual text messages. I can't tell exact time on individual text message if it comes in near the time of another text. All messages are in one "bubble."
5)      Ability to select MMS or text for a message. Sometimes I write a text longer than 160 characters and I prefer it to be sent in one message (i.e., MMS mode) rather than being broken into one or more standard text messages. I had this ability with my 9800.
6)      Send button should be moved for text messages!!! Why the heck is it right underneath the delete button?!? Or next to the period button? I often times have accidentally hit send when composing text. It's very annoying and embarrassing. (Also, what happened to the ability to hit enter for a return carriage to next line?)
7)      Bigger magnifying glass. My finger is often over the area I need to place the cursor. I find it difficult and erratic to place the cursor.
8)      Select all option. Add the option to select all text in action menu cascade.
9)      E-mail recipients and message headers. Difficult to tell if you are one of many email recipients. Can we have a way to pull the email down to see the list of recipients rather than have to click to expand the header info? I know this request is a little picky, but that's how it was done in the previous BlackBerry OS which I preferred; it is easier and faster to pull the e-mail down and 'peek' to see which e-mail box received the message, message status, from and to fields. This change would be consistent with BB's flow/peek rather than click.
10)   Browser navigation. Hold down back arrow to get a list of recently visited websites similar to a desktop browser.
11)   Dark/Night mode. A night mode (maybe in the drop down menu) to change all the white and bright backgrounds to black or dark which would be helpful when reading/viewing things at night in bed/etc.
12)   Number of contacts. Ability to see how many contacts I have.
13)   What happened to groups or categories? I'd like to have back the ability to filter or see categories and also a way to contact everyone in a category. E.g., family or friends or coworkers, etc.
14)   Shutter sound mute. I was at a wedding and wanted to take pictures during the ceremony but the shutter would was too loud.
15)   East Asian Language Input. I bought my parents two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend because they need Korean input (and the Kakao talk app). (BTW, S3 is a great phone but I prefer the Z10 after having the weekend to use the Android phones).
16)   Ability to freely place icons on the homesreen. Currently, icons are forced top left-right-to-bottom. I prefer to space my icons out.
17)   Add a contact to the homescreen. I'd like to place a shortcut (similar to a Webpage) to the homescreen for a contact which will open up the contact. Android allows this feature and so did my previous 9800.
18)   Search Contacts by nickname. The contacts app doesn't allow me to search by, e.g., Andy, even if I have that as my contact's nickname. The previous OS allowed this type of search which was very helpful.
Finally, as a note, I've been using the BlackBerry Z10 for the past 2 weeks and it's a great platform. I just bought two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend for my parents so they could use the Korean language input and related features so I spent a lot of time with the Android platform, setting it up and teaching them how to use it. The S3 is a great phone too.
I prefer, however, the way BlackBerry has done their OS 10 and the integrated management of messages.
It's too bad that BB doesn't have Korean input and apps like Kakao Talk or I would have considered it for them.
The BlackBerry 10 is a great platform and I look forward to the continual improvements that will only make the experience better.

This is a great post.
I couldn't have written it myself better.
I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.
But I second every point.
I hope the tech teams are reading this.

SQL Developer - problems with the Data Modeller part

Hi SQL Developer users,
I can open the Data Modeler pane, but I can't insert any object into the logical model or into the relational model. Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong? Do I need specific privileges to the database, or do I need to install SQL Developer in a different way?
Thanks,
Csisz

Hi Csisz,
as Ivaylo wrote - it's Data Modeler Viewer into SQL Developer.
I can't insert any object into the logical model or into the relational modelYou can drag tables from SQL Developer browser and drop them on relational model diagram. If you keep Ctrl key pressed then all child tables also will be imported and shown on diagram.

SQL Developer Blocked and is not allowed to connect to database ORA-200001

SQL Developer Blocked and is not allowed to connect to database gives ORA-200001.
i found on net that DBA can write triggers which can deny connection to database from certain appplication.
so i want a way to change application name so that when it connects to database
the V$SESSION will have different value (other than SQL Developer) in column PROGRAM and/or MODULE (which i think is used by dba to restrict the connection).
one more way is
i am using jdbc url to connect to database
in java we can change properties of connection to change the PROGRAM in V$SESSION.
but i am not java expert so dont know how and where to make the changes
either way my aim is to connect to database such that V$SESSION will have different value (other than "SQL Developer") in column PROGRAM and/or MODULE

This is not system configration or credential issue.
This is a check which is put DBA using logon trigger
to check certain user loging in using certain application.
only some users using particular username are getting this error when they try to logon using oracle sql developer
the same users when uses different username(some generic user names created to access database) to access the same database then they are able to login.
similarly if they login using SQL navigator they are able to login with both their own and the generic user name
more over of all the database instances this is only happening on some of the instances and all of them are development instances.
following will help you understand
USER | DBUSERNAME | DATABASE | APPLICATION | ACTION
X | X | DB1 | Oracle Sql Developer | Blocked
X | G(Genric) | DB1 | Oracle Sql Developer | Login Success
X | X | DB1 | Sql Navigator/SqlPLus | Login Success
X | G(Genric) | DB1 | Sql Navigator/SqlPLus | Login Success
X | X | DB2 | Oracle Sql Developer | Login Success
X | G(Genric) | DB2 | Oracle Sql Developer | Login Success
X | X | DB2 | Sql Navigator/SqlPLus | Login Success
X | G(Genric) | DB2 | Sql Navigator/SqlPLus | Login Success
I just want to bypass this check which i think uses V$SESSION and columns PROGRAM and/or MODULE to check the application used by particular user.
if i can override these values some where in oracle sql developer before loging in the DB then i can clearly pass this check and login to database.

Oracle SQL Developer freezes and locks up computer randomly

I attempted to find a solution to this before posting. I looked through the first 40 pages of this forum and on Google, through the Developer documentation, etc. with no luck.
The problem: while using Oracle SQL Developer, the computer randomly freezes. Things work, but it hangs too often and for too long to use. This is random - it can happen every 10 seconds or every 2 minutes. The mouse will lock up, and the keyboard buffer will get all messed up. For instance, if it happens to freeze while I'm hitting "backspace", it will delete many lines of text (I've lost a bit of work because of this in the past). The freezing will last about 2 to 20 seconds, and the only way out of it is to ctrl+alt+delete and kill SQL Developer.
If SQL Developer is running, and I'm in a different window - it will freeze the other windows as well. Again, it's impossible to use unfortunately. My coworker doesn't have the same problem, and he's connecting to the same database with the same version using Windows Vista. It must be something on this computer. I reformatted about 1 month ago, so it's a pretty fresh install and I haven't installed much of anything yet.
I'm using Windows Vista Enterprise 32-bit w/SP1.
This was occurring with older versions of SQL Developer (1.2). I'm using the newest install that included the Java JDK. I've completely removed Java, my Oracle installs, and a host of other attempts to fix this, and nothing changes. I've tried running the .exe in the bin directory as administrator as well.
Currently using Oracle Developer 1.5.1.54.40.
Any ideas?

I tried dumping the contents, but the java dump wasn't showing anything at all, and it would never freeze while I had the console window in focus, so it wasn't very helpful unfortunately.
I fixed this issue by uninstalling the Java runtime on this machine and installing the Java JDK 6 Update 7 from java.sun.com/javase/downloads . I then downloaded the SQL Developer 1.5.1 version without the Java runtime included, and pointed it to the Update 7 .exe file upon first load.
I was using JDK 6 Update 6 previously, and it must have been behind the errors. Note that the Update 7 has to be downloaded from that website as it's a new version that hasn't been posted on the regular java.com site yet.

SQL Developer Problems with Microsoft Word Apostrophes

Hi,
I'm trying to copy and paste a list like the following from Microsoft Word to SQL Developer -
'123','456','789'
Shouldnt be a problem.
But when ever I paste it into an sql file in Developer it comes out with different styled apostrophes which SQL Developer does not seem to like -
‘123’,’123’,’123’
Obviously I can just do a find and replace and change all of the problem apostrophes but is there a way to stop the problem occuring?
It doesnt matter what font I am using in Word, I always get the slanted style apostrophes. But in Developer, if I just normally type an apostrophe, I get the acceptable version - '

I hate copying and pasting to/from word it does far to many things I don't want it to do.
A trick that sometimes works for me is to copy in word, paste in notepad, then copy in notepad and paste into SQL developer.
I have replicated your issue but I have found that even this dosn't work.
You could write a VBA macro in word linked to the ctrl + c short cut that does a text copy and a find and replace on the special chars turning them into normal ones but I think this might be overkill.

Oracle SQL Developer installation and Java

I finished installing Oracle Client without problems. Opened up SQL Developer for the first time and he asks me for the full Java.exe pathname.
That's fine, but when I input the java.exe I just get asked again, no errors. Repeat until infinity.
I installed the newest Java SDK and tried both 32-bit and 64-bit versions (jdk 7u4). I even tried installing Oracle Client version 11.1.0 AND 11.2.0 to see if that make any difference, but it's all the same.
I have uploaded a screenshot if that helps: http://i50.tinypic.com/mjtqte.jpg
Any ideas?
Regards,
Gunnar Óskarsson

Hi Gunnar.
Documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25259_01/doc.31/e26419/install.htm#sthref8
Ideas:
-Do not use java7
-Use JDK not JRE
-On widows there is a version of SQLDeveloper including java 6 jdk
-Instant client is not required - but if you want to use it use at least 11.2.0.2
-Updated SetJavaHome in sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf to point to the JDK
-There is some confusion over 32bit and 64bit Operating System, java and SQLDeveloper, you can search the forum for details, eg: thread title: "Unable to start Oracle SQL Developer"

SQL Developer:Problem with multi byte size after import using excel format

Hi,
Need your help. I am trying to export multibyte characters from our China instance(r11i instance) using SQL Developer's export data via Excel format into an R12 Vision instance. I have a staging table with exactly the same structure in both instances. Prior to export to excel, I check the byte size of the sample data below using LENGTH and LENGTHB sql functions and these are the results:
Sample data = 材料LI（USD）
LENGTH=9
LENGTHB=13
Then, I exported the table as excel file. Afterwards, I used SQL Developer to import the excel file into the table of the target instance. I check the bytesize again and here are the results:
Sample data = 材料LI（USD）
LENGTH=9
LENGTHB=17
The byte size increased from 13 to 17. I did not change anything on the excel file. Just straight forward export to excel file then imported it to the target instance. How come there is an increase in byte size? Has anyone encountered this in SQL Developer? We really need to export the files as excel.
Source:
Database version = 9.2.0.5.0
Target:
Database version = 11.1.0.7.0

Wendell,
This forum is for handling issues migrating from non-Oracle databases to Oracle databases.
As this is an Oracle to Oracle issue using SQL*Developer export it would be better to open a new thread in the SQL*Developer forum -
SQL Developer
There will be more people there who can help with this problem.

SQL Developer 3 and simple_integer

Hi can anyone help me with something, I have checked everywhere else and can't find an answer.
Does SQL Developer v 3 support the new 11g data type simple_integer? I have a simple procedure shown below
set serveroutput on;
DECLARE
n simple_integer := 1;
BEGIN
FOR j IN 1..4 LOOP
n := n + 1;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TO_CHAR(n, 'S9999999999'));
END LOOP;
FOR j IN 1..4 LOOP
n := n - 1;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TO_CHAR(n, 'S9999999999'));
END LOOP;
END;
When I try and run this I get the error
Error report:
ORA-06550: line 2, column 5:
PLS-00201: identifier 'SIMPLE_INTEGER' must be declared
ORA-06550: line 2, column 5:
PL/SQL: Item ignored
When I change simple_integer to integer or pls_integer it works. but the new type of simple_integer doesn't. Can anyone shed light on this because I'm at a loss as to the problem.

Hi!
The error is definitly not dependent on your version of SQL-Developer 3.0, but on yout database version.
Test script:
SET serveroutput ON;
SELECT version from v$instance;
DECLARE
    n simple_integer := 1;
BEGIN
    FOR j IN 1..4
    LOOP
        n := n + 1;
        DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TO_CHAR(n, 'S9999999999'));
    END LOOP;
    FOR j IN 1..4
    LOOP
        n := n - 1;
        DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TO_CHAR(n, 'S9999999999'));
    END LOOP;

SQL DEVELOPER cut and paste does not work, slow and cannot work fast.

I have lots of difficulties using SQL Developer, the cut/paste does not work properly, when I type search in he code editor it just paste or type the test in the source code not in the serach box. Very hectic I'm pallning to swicth to TOAD until they a a good version.

Hello Aukhez,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems with SQLDeveloper - personally, I've never had any problems with cut/copy/paste and searching, and I've been using SQLDeveloper from v1.0 to the current version, on practically every version of the JDK from 1.5-1.6u16 on both Windows and Linux.
Sorry to state the obvious, but perhaps if you could provide a bit more specific information - such as platform, version, etc - and details of what you tried to do, someone here might be able to help...? Regarding speed, there are quite a few things you can do to make this better, but again, without knowing your setup, it's hard to give you proper directions. Plus, you'll find numerous threads here and on google about what you can do to improve speed.
Regards,
John
