Recommended Privileges/Roles Needed to use SQL Developer

I've eyeballed the installation documentation. Is there somewhere a list of recommended system privs and roles that need to be granted to a user in order to make all the features/tools (Monitor...) work as designed?
Yes, this question is due to the ever-present political issue of "access cleanup" efforts at the tail end of a development effort (when deadlines are approaching).
I've asked for SELECT ANY DICTIONARY and SELECT ANY TABLE (since our apps reside in multiple schemas), and the powers that be think that's too generous. In the development environment, no less.
Anyway, such a "published list" would be welcome ammo. Thanks.

SQL Developer is just a connection to the DB. Just like SQL Plus.
You will need permissions based on what you want to do.
If you want to see everyones objects then you will need SELECT ANY DICTIONARY and SELECT ANY TABLE

Demonstrating PL/SQL Functions Using SQL Developer

Good afternoon,
I'm starting to write some PL/SQL functions to replace some of the SQL that I use most frequently. A couple of very simple examples would be:
create or replace function func_test (p_1 number) return number
is
x number;
y number;
begin
x :=1;
y :=2;
return p_1 * x * y;
end func_test;
create or replace function func_test2 (p_1 varchar2) return varchar2
is
return_val varchar2(10);
begin
select p_1 into return_val from dual;
return return_val;
end func_test2;
However, at my workplace I haven't been granted create function privileges yet until I can demonstrate some examples, which is understandable.
For the time being, without these privileges, is there a way I can build/test functions in principle locally using SQL Developer without the need to write the functions to our database? I.e. can I demonstrate the above in SQL Developer, but without wrapping in create or replace syntax?
I hope this isn't too vague.
Using Oracle 11gR2 (not logged in to workplace database at the moment for specific version no.)
SQL Developer 3.4
Thanks,
TP

populating test DB with data is a solvable problem.
You don't need client data to test code (functions).
You only need sample test data; which generally is less than a few dozen records per table.
Absolutely, of course. Our client database is pretty messy though, and includes data prior to the implementation of more recent business rules that I need to take account of. Useful perspective though, thanks.
rp0428 02-Nov-2013 19:14 (in response to TinyPenguin)
Sure, but then I wouldn't have access to all the data in our client database to test functions under various circumstances.
Huh? Why not? It's your database so what keeps you from creating a database link to your client database where all the data is?
Also, I suppose it's not good practice to constantly write/replace/drop functions to/from a database when developing them? Better to test the function in principle and then write to the database?
Huh? Why not? What you think a dev database is for if not for development?
Based on your two posts so far in this thread it's understandable why they don't want to give you privileges yet. Those sample 'functions' you posted are NOT a good use for functions.
In sql developer you can just create and save the queries you use most often. There is no need to create functions for that.
But if you do need an anonymous function now and then just create one using sql*plus syntax:
Our IT department are pretty sensitive about how they allow access, even to the dev environment. As you've identified, I'm not naturally a programmer so the option to play around with the data to develop some representative examples about how we can simplify and devolve SQL reporting to more members of staff is useful to me. I just wrote those two function quickly for the purpose of posting some sample data, which I thought would be helpful. Thanks for illustrating how to return their output using an anonymous block.
FrankKulash 02-Nov-2013 19:13 (in response to TinyPenguin)
Hi,
The obvious solution is to get the privileges. If your employer really wants you to do something, they need to give you the necessary privileges to do it. It's silly for them to tell you to do something, but refuse to let you do it.
Failing that, you can install Oracle on your own machine, as suggested above. It's free and legitimate if you're only using it for learning and developing. Oracle Express Edition is very easy to install.
As a last resort, you can write functions and procedures that are local to an anonymous block, like this:
Thanks Frank. Yeah I'm going to speak with our DBA next week about privileges. I've got XE/SQL Developer installed on my own computer - I wrote those sample functions using them - I just wasn't sure how to call/return anonymous blocks as both you and rp identified to develop at work as an interim solution.
Thanks a lot All,
TP.

Create statspack report using sql*developer

Hello,
While connecting with PERFSTAT user I can not create statspack report using SQL*Developer:
@?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt
Error starting at line 1 in command:
@?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt
Error report:
Unable to open file: "?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt.sql"
Actually, my problem or question is that how can PERFSTAT user can generate statspack reports from a Client side. What is the other way a non-dba can see the snapshots histroy and generate report (by using perfstat user ) while joing tables or using views?
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards

Hi,
for awr reports @?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt (you need EE+Diagnostic Pack) there is a solution.
Grant execute dbms_workload_repository to <user>;
Grant select_catalog_role to <user>;
get all SNAP_IDs
SELECT   TO_CHAR(s.startup_time,'YYYY.MM.DD HH24:MI:SS') INSTART_FMT,
         di.instance_name INST_NAME,
         di.db_name DB_NAME,
         s.snap_id SNAP_ID,
         TO_CHAR(s.end_interval_time,'YYYY.MM.DD HH24:MI:SS') SNAPDAT,
         s.snap_level LVL
FROM    dba_hist_snapshot s,
         dba_hist_database_instance di
WHERE   di.dbid = s.dbid
         AND di.instance_number = s.instance_number
         AND Di.Startup_Time = S.Startup_Time
ORDER BY snap_id desc;
Select * From Table(Sys.Dbms_Workload_Repository.Awr_Report_Html(DBID, 1, BEGIN_SNAP_ID, END_SNAP_ID));
For statspack i don't know a solutuion. I think the best idea is, create a job to make the statspack report on the server side and access it via external tables or mail them forward to you.
Best regards

IBM DB2 to Oracle Database Migration Using SQL Developer

Hi,
We are doing migration of the whole database from IBM DB2 8.2 which is running in WINDOWS to Oracle 11g Database in LINUX.
As part of pre-requisites we have installed the Oracle SQL Developer 4.0.1 (4.0.1.14.48) in Linux Server with JDK 1.7. Also Established a connection with Oracle Database.
Questions:
1) How can we enable the Third Party Database Connectivity in SQL Developer?
I have copied the files db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_license_cu.jar from the IBM DB2 (Windows) to Oracle (Linux)
2) Will these JAR files are universal drivers? will these jar files will support in Linux platform?
3) I got a DB2 full privileged schema name "assistdba", Shall i create a new user with the same name "assistdba" in the Oracle Database & grant DBA Privillege? (This is for Repository Creation)
4) We have around 35GB of data in DB2, shall i proceed with ONLINE CAPTURE during the migration?
5) Do you have any approx. estimation of Time to migrate a 35 GB of data?
6) In-case of any issue during the migration activity, shall i get an support from Oracle Team (We have a Valid Support ID)?
7) What are all the necessary Test Cases to confirm the status of VALID Migration?
Request you to share the relevant metalink documents!!!
Kindly guide me in-order to go-ahead with the successful migration.
Thanks in Advance!!!

Hi Klaus,
Continued with the above posts - Now we are doing another database migration from IBM DB2 to Oracle, which is very less of data (Eg: 20 Tables & 22 Indexes).
As like previous database migration, we have done the pre-requirement steps.
DB Using SQL Developer
Created Migration Repository
Connected with the created User in SQL Developer
Captured the Source Database
Converted Captured Model to Oracle
Before Translation Phase we have clicked on the "Proceed Summary"
Captured Database Objects & Converted Database Objects has been created under PROJECT section.
Here while checking the status of captured & converted database objects, It's showing the below chart as sample:

How do I make a connection to SQL Server Express using SQL Developer 1.5.3?

How do I make a connection to SQL Server Express using SQL Developer 1.5.3, if it's possible at all?
Also, I received a SQL Server dump file of some sort. Is there any way to read this file in SQL Developer and migrate the db to Oracle? Unfortunately I don't have raw DDL and DML for this database--just some sort of a binary dump file from SQL Server.
Thanks.
Dana

Are you using SQL Developer 1.5.3 or 1.5.4?
If using an older version (i.e. 1.5.3), then you'll have to add a DLL to your environment. This is [ntlauth.dll].
If you don't find this DLL in your SQL Developer directory, then obtain the JDBC SQL SERVER Pluggin (jtds-1.2.2-dist.zip) from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=33291&package_id=25350
Copy the ntlmauth.dll in the ...\\...\ide\lib directory (no need to register it).
Note: this approach should work if using DQL Developer 1.5.3 and SQL Server Express 2008

M. R.

The connection export function it's available in 2.1.1.64, you need to right click on the main Connections node, and it will allow you to export all or part of the current connections, or import from a previously exported file.
As for the highlight statement feature it's available in SQLDeveloper; actually you do not even have to highlight the required statement, as long as you take the habit of ending every statement with a ";", in this case you only need to place the caret inside the statement and SQLDeveloper will automatically highlight it for you (if you want to manually highlight a statement you can still do so without problems).
Finally as a last try to solve your connection problem without having to call for network support you could try to check
Preferences -> Database -> Advanced -> Use OCI/Thick DriverThis will force SQLDeveloper to use your oracle client for connections instead of it's native JDBC based connections (even if you use TNS based connections you will still use JDBC unless you have this checked).
As for other graphical tools for Oracle there are many both free or for a price.
1) In the for price world Toad stands out, i heard of a free option too but I'm not sure of the limitations.
2) For free you can use DBVisualizer which is fairly good (never used it too much thou).
3) Finally there is SQuirreL which is both free and open source but it has fairly basic functionality compared to the two above.
Obviously there are many others, but IMHO few will provide you with the same functions of SQLDeveloper or Toad for Oracle databases

Trouble installing/using SQL Developer on Windows 2008 R2

I need help installing sql developer.
I am running Windows 2008 R2.
I tried installing the 64 bit version, and when it asked for the path to the JDK, it complains that it doesn't exists. Can someone PLEASE point me to which JDK I need to install?
I tried installing the 32 bit versionand it installs fine, but then gives me the error that it can't load AMD 64-bit dll on a IA 32 bit platform.
PLEASE HELP. How can I run SQL Developer on Windows 2008 R2?
Links to the exact versions of what to install would be very very helpful.
Thank you!

The versions required are in the release notes.
If you install the 64-bit SQLDeveloper you need a 64-bit JDK.
If you install the 32-bit SQLDeveloper you need a 32-bit JDK.
If your operating is 32-bit, you need a 32-bit SQLDeveloper.
Note that you need a JDK not a JRE

Connection ... able to connect using sql developer, but not sqlplus or toad too

Hi folks, having this issue, with only one of my so many databases, what might be the reason and how to fix/correct this, please assist.
Able to connect using sql developer, but not sqlplus or toad too; sqlplus error: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
thanks in advance.

SQLDEVELOPER works since it use JDBC Thin & does not use tnsnames.ora
ORA-12154 ALWAYS only occurs on SQL Client & no SQL*Net packets ever leave client system
ORA-12154 [B]NEVER[/B] involves the listener, the database itself or anything on the DB Server.
ORA-12154 occurs when client requests a connection to some DB server system using some connection string.
TNS-03505 is thrown by tnsping & is same error as ORA-12154 thrown by sqlplus or others.
The lookup operation fails because the name provided can [B]NOT[/B] be resolved to any remote DB.
The analogous operation would be when you wanted to call somebody, but could not find their name in any phonebook.
The most frequent cause for the ORA-12154 error is when the connection alias can not be found in tnsnames.ora.
The lookup operation of the alias can be impacted by the contents of the sqlnet.ora file; specifically DOMAIN entry.

Problem when connecting sql server 2005 using SQL developer

Hi,
I installed Sql developer and I am trying to connect sql server 2005 using windows authentication. I had previously the SSO folder problem saying the path is missing in java.library.path. I copied the SSO folder into Sqldeveloper directory. I changed the settings under computer management->services and applications->sql server configuration manager->sql server 2005 network configuration ->protocols for sqlexpress->I enabled TCP/IP.
Now I am getting an error saying "Failure-can not open user default database.Login Failed. Login failed for user ...".
I am able to connect thru ODBC driver using windows authentication.
Any help on this is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Lakshmi

Hi Martin,
Your solution has solved my problem too. Thanks for posting these workaround fixes :-)
However, there seem to be a problem with datetime fields. The query:
select getdate()
returns something like: oracle.datetimestamp.@1aed4
Is there a way to get around with this? Otherwise, using SQL Developer as a client for SQL Server doesn't serve the right purpose when we cannot access simple date fields :-)
