Request about SQL Developer Homepage

Hi,
Can we have a link on the PL/SL developer homepage with link and descriptions to downloading some of the free programs that are out there? It would also be nice to publish something on the API's etc on how to build plugins for the Raptor tool. I think a lot of the developent and ideas for this can be made by those in the open source community to really drive Raptor.
Just a thought : )
Thanks!

its already in the works

  • About SQL Developer tables

    Hi buddies;
    My question is about SQL Developer 1.5.5, I'm a beginner with this tool, and I was reading the table of contains, but I couldn't find anything
    about relational tables. For example, what I want to know is where can I see the parent or child tables of any table. In toad you can see that
    info together with the field that is the link. For example, I got a table that has relationship with other five tables (child tables), however
    with SQL Developer for that specific table, in tag Dependencies I can see packages, views, and triguer. So, where can I see the tables
    names related to this table?
    Thanks for your help

    Out of the box, you can't; this has been a missing feature over all versions up to date.
    On the bright side, sqldev is easily extendible with user defined XML extensions. There's a [References/Referenced By extension|http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42626:54:1130207409801024::::P54_ID:601] on the SQL Developer Exchange that shows how to add these missing tabs.
    Have fun,

  • Any Plan for JDeveloper to have feature requests like SQL Developer

    Recently SQL Developer has come up with "Feature requests" link where users can request for feature requests or see the existing ones.
    http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42626:37:3434730358746967::NO:::
    This sort of feature will be very useful in one place instead of using JDev Forum for feature requests.

    Hi,
    yes, we like the idea and we are looking into this.

  • About SQL Developer migration objects

    Hi all,
    I'm using the SQL Developer Version 2.1.1.64 for Windows.
    I've migrated a SQL Server 2005 database to Oracle.
    Well, many objects was created, like triggers to emulate identity sql server, packages, MD* tables, and so on.
    Well, I need to use all funcionality of Oracle without use these created objects only to migration.
    Can I drop these objects? Any problem with this?
    Thank you very much!!!!

    Hi Tads,
    There are two sets of objects created during a migration.
    1) The Migration Repository objects (MD_.... tables, MIGRATION & MD_META packages, MGV_ ... views ) and so on.
    These objects are used by SQL Developer to perform the migration.
    The tables hold the information about your captured and converted models and the packages perform some of the conversion.
    These objects are created automatically for you when you Associate the migration repository with a connection.
    Normally you would create a brand new schema (ex: migration_repo) , create a connection for it and Associate with this connection.
    Then , after the migration is complete, you can drop that schema and all the repository objects with it.
    Alternatively you can right click the connection again and choose, Delete Repository.
    2)Target Oracle objects.
    These are the objects you have converted and generated into Oracle.
    They include the tables,views,procedures,... that you have converted from your source database.
    They also include
    a) SQLSERVER_UTILITIES package, which helps emulate functions referenced in your stored procedures,triggers and views
    b) Oracle Global Temporary Tables, which replicate the temporary tables found in your SQL Server stored procedures
    c) Triggers and Sequences, used to emulate SQL Server identity columns
    Well, I need to use all functionality of Oracle without use these created objects only to migration.
    Can I drop these objects? Any problem with this?If you have associated your migration repository with the same schema as you have create your target objects in, then both sets of objects will be mixed.
    You can right click on the connection and choose "Delete Migration Repository" to remove these objects.
    The remaining objects should be left as is, unless you are confident you do not need them.

    Dermot.

  • Quick Question... About SQL Developer for MAC - MAC Users please help.

    Hello everyone, I hope that someone out there can tell me that I am not crazy.
    I have installed SQL Developer for Mac OSX to access a MS-SQL database, and perform simple query operations. For the most part, I have been thrilled to have a Mac version of software that's fully featured.
    Details on my current setup:
    SQL Developer
    Version 2.1.1.64
    Build MAIN-64.45
    Mac OSX V10.6.3
    JTDS-1.2.5 JDBC driver
    Database connection is SQL Server 2005
    Anyway, my problem is this... I cannot locate the Query Builder function within this software. I have found the tutorials on how to use it, and it would appear to be located when you right-click the SQL worksheet to open the context menu. This option is not present in my software, and I need to figure out why. This screenshot is what I see when I right-click.
    Does anyone know if this is related to MS-SQL-2005?
    http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/1195/screenshot20100523at102.png
    Any assistance you could provide would be AWESOME! Thank you!
    Edited by: user13118614 on May 23, 2010 3:05 PM

    First of all you need an active connection in the worksheet (upper right drop-down).
    But even then it might not work. Sorry you were "thrilled to have a Mac version of software that's fully featured", because even if it is, MsSQL isn't. The tool is mainly focussed in providing a migration platform to Oracle, so a lot of the cool stuff is Oracle only.
    Regards,
    K.

  • SQL Developer 1.5.4.59.40 - IO Exception: Undefined Error VENDOR CODE 17002

    Hi All.
    I hope someone can help.
    I have recently installed Oracle XE on my Vista Ultimate laptop and it is up and running with no apparent problems. I then connected to the HR schema on XE with no problems using SQL Developer 1.2.1.3213 (OLD Version). I noticed that SQL Developer 1.5.4.59.40 (NEW version) was available and downloaded it (the offering without JDK included) and renamed the "C:\Program Files\SQLDeveloper" folder holding the older version to "C:\Program Files\SQLDeveloper_Orig" and placed the new version of SQL Developer in the Prog Files directory to give "C:\Program Files\SQLDeveloper".
    I then ran SQLDeveloper.exe (NEW) and when requested gave the JDK path as "C:\Program Files\Java\JDK_1.6.0_11\bin\java.exe" ('Java -version' gives 1.6.0_11-b03) and migrated over the settings from the previous version of SQLDeveloper (OLD).
    The Application loads fine but when i attempt to connect to XE's HR schema i get the following error:
    "IO Exception: Undefined Error
    VENDOR CODE 17002"
    I have searched to try and find out what is going on but cannot find any solutions that work. The previous 17002 error solutions on this forumn have all failed.
    These included changing the JDK.conf file to hold route to JDK directory and also creating a 'bat' file.
    My system does not have the directory for the JDK in it's PATH environment setting (either USER or SYSTEM) but does include a directory path under SYSTEM environment vars to another version fo JDK on my machine under "C:\Program Files\Sun\JDK\". I thought this may be causing a conflict but it is version 1.6.0.05_b13 and is also compatible-is it not? I also have Java JRE6 (1.6.0_12-b04) on my machine - this does not have a PATH variable and was not referenced when loading SQL Developer when loading the first time.
    Can anyone help me resolve this, why can the previous version still connect OK to XE and not new version? is there something i am missing? Do i require the Java JDK Directory to be placed under a PATH environment SYSTEM variable?
    Thanks in advance,
    M

  • SQL Developer And TFS

    Hello,
    I read a thread dating a couple years ago about SQL Developer not supporting TFS.
    It doesn't seem to be the case in SQL Developer 3.0....unless I'm blind...Frankly, this is quite possible :)
    Are they any discussion about going down that road?
    Regards,
    Yan

    You can raise an enhancement request in the SQL Developer exchange, or find one which exists and vote for it.
    JDeveloper has a Team System VCS extension (which I think is the same thing), so it may not be too difficult to implement.

  • ORA-01722 when opening a package in SQL Developer 1.2 with oracle 9iR1

    Hi,
    I use SQL Developer with Oracle Database 9i release 1.
    When I open a package in SQL Developer 1.2 (or 1.5) for editing, I receive the error ORA-01722. The package successfully opens but this message, which pops everytime, is really annoying.
    I monitored the requests sent by SQL Developer and it seems that the following request is responsible of the error :
    SELECT LINE,POSITION,TEXT,ATTRIBUTE FROM USER_ERRORS WHERE TYPE=:1AND NAME=:2
    Notice there are no spaces between ':1' and 'AND'. When executing 'by hand' the request with SQL Developer, it asks for the value of '1AND' bind variable and the value of '2'. Then, it fails to execute with... ORA-01722.
    Is it possible to avoid this bug ?
    Thank you for your help.

    We're doing rolling 2 week releases until production. Expect something new next week.

  • Unable to save in SQL Developer..

    Screenshot I work for an enterprise support desk, and one of our clients uses SQL Developer. When he goes to save, he is unable to choose a location. If he clicks a directory on the left nothing populates, he cannot type in a directory at the top, and if he clicks save, the window flashes but no file is saved anywhere. Does any one have any idea what could cause this or a solution to this problem.

    I do not know much about SQL Developer, one of the 1300 users we support uses it.
    From what I understood while troublehsooting, he is unable to save ANYTHING. Mostly he writes scripts in a workspace on the right side of the window, but I am not sure of the correct term.
    When he clicks the directories, we single clicked, double clicked, triple clicked, doesn't matter how many times we clicked, nothing from that directory populated. For example, if he tried to save to the dekstop and double clicked the deskop icon on the left of the save window, no items or folders that exist on his desktop populate in the navigation panel on the right.
    You cannot save to a local hard drive because you cannot save anywhere.... you cannot decided whether you want tos ave to a network location or a local location because you cannot navigate to where you want to save in the first place, hence why we are having this discussion.

    This problem is quite strange in that when I've been able to manually set American_america.utf8, things work.Sorry to say, but it seems you may have an incorrect setup.
    In general, you should set char set part of NLS_LANG to let Oracle know the code page used by the client. With win-1252, NLS_LANG should include .WE8MSWIN1252.
    The display from sqlplus was "lying", due to incorrectly stored data coupled by incorrect nls_lang setting (char set part). The pass-through or gigo scenario can be dangerous this way. Search the Globalization forum for the term 'pass-through' for previous discussions on the theme.
    The setting on AIX servers may be incorrect as well, but it depends how you use it (e.g. for database export or data load with utf-8 encoded files it may be correct).
    The output of the query you recommended looks odd to me:
    (Gestion Econ�mica o Facturaci     Typ=1 Len=30 CharacterSet=UTF8:
    28,47,65,73,74,69,6f,6e,20,45,63,6f,6e,f3,6d,69,63,61,20,6f,20,46,61,63,74,75,72,61,63,69;This is the telling part. The 0xF3 is not legal in UTF8. Actually, the code units for ó, U+00F3 Latin small letter o with acute, are C3 B3. So instead of f3 you should have expected c3,b3 from the dump output.
    >
    So it looks like what's under the covers is correct, but I'm still not seeing the correct character in sql developer.The opposite is true. Data is incorrectly stored and SQL Developer is correctly showing you this. Sqlplus is not the best tool in Unicode environments, SQL Developer is better.
    >
    ACP according to my windows registry is 1252. OEMCP is 437Also, if you use database clients in console mode (such as sqlplus), NLS_LANG should include .US8PC437 to properly indicate that code page in use is 437.

    I have JRE 1.5, but that seems to be the latest per the Software Udpate utility, and when prompted, I set my java directory to /usr, since my java bin was under /usr/bin.
    Let me know if I should start a different thread.

  • SQL Developer version 1.0.0.15.57 Debugger problem

    I use SQL Developer create a package and debug the pl/sql code. I try to use SUBSTR function as below:
    temp VARCHAR2(32000);
    temp:= p_string; --parameter input
    temp := SUBSTR(temp, 2, LENGTH(temp));
    In debugger Watches panel LENGTH(temp) Value display ? no real value.
    Please help.
    Ted

    Hi Ted,
    I agree function calls should be evaluated. You can log an enhancement request on SQL Developer Exchange (and you'll get my vote).
    For the time being, use another temporary variable to hold the evaluation of the functions calls:
    temp2 := LENGTH(temp);
    temp := SUBSTR(temp, 2, temp2);
    Then watch temp2 instead LENGTH(temp).
    As for your specific problem, if you would have RTFM:
    - The third parameter of SUBSTR is optional: if you omit, all remaining characters will be returned. So no need for the SUBSTR here!
    - The third parameter of SUBSTR means length, not ending position. So temp := SUBSTR(temp, 2, LENGTH(temp)); will always fail, since you are 2 positions out of bounds.
    Regards,
    K.

  • SQL Developer Optimization

    I have a few questions about SQL Developer that I was wondering if someone can help with:
    1. Does SQL Developer have the sql optimization feature that is present in Toad?
    Within TOAD, there is a facility that will help the user to optimize the sql and I was wondering if this was present in SQL Developer
    2. When using the compare facility for showing the difference between 2 tables, does SQL Developer show the data that is different?
    Thanks

    K,
    There are a couple of project in the works for this. Heres a quick exert of what we are planning. There is no confirmed release train for this at the minute though. This is provided for information only.
    SQL Code Advisor*
    By leveraging database features like Automated Workload Repository (AWR) and Active Session History (ASH), the potential exists to evaluate any SQL statement within a package or worksheet that has been executed and flag any statements exceeding some performance threshold. The developer will then immediately know if the SQL in question merits any tuning effort or should be left "as is".
    The goal of SQL Code Advisor is to provide real-time feedback to developer within an editor or worksheet on factors which may impact performance. Without going into great detail in this overview, here are some:
    * Connected to database instance with missing system statistics
    * SQL references tables and indexes with missing or stale statistics, or indexes in an invalid state
    * Population and cardinality estimates of referenced tables
    * Type, compression status, cache status, degree of parallelism for referenced tables
    * Explain plan indicates Full Table Scan performed on a large table
    * Explicit datatype conversions of columns in predicates, preventing use of available indexes
    SQL Tuning Advisor*
    By leveraging existing database APIs in the DBMS_SQLTUNE and DBMS_ADVISOR packages, with appropriate UI enhancements, this SQL Tuning Advisor extension will allow a developer to generate a report to warn when SQL performance may be impaired by:
    * stale optimizer statistics
    * missing indexes
    * improper coding practices.
    These APIs are able to perform more in-depth analyses of SQL statements than the optimizer. As a consequence, in addition to offering advice on specific environment and coding issues, it can produce a SQL Profile. The Profile contains additional statistics which help the optimizer find a more efficient execution plan. The original execution plan can be presented side-by-side with the enhanced SQL Profile-assisted execution plan for comparison. The developer has control over which, if any, of the recommendations to accept and deploy.

  • Login to SQL Developer as the SYS user for Getting Started tutorial

    I went to try and do the following tutorial to learn about SQL Developer 3.0, but I cannot get started because I'm unable to perform Prerequisite #3.
    How do I "Login to SQL Developer as the SYS user"?

    Getting Started with Oracle SQL Developer 3.0
    Prerequisites
    Before starting this tutorial, you should:
    1 .
    Install Oracle SQL Developer 3.0 from OTN. Follow the readme instructions here.
    2 .
    Install Oracle Database 11g with the Sample schema.
    3.
    Unlock the HR user. Login to SQL Developer as the SYS user and execute the following command:
    alter user hr identified by hr account unlock;
    Note: This tutorial is developed using Oracle SQL Developer 3.0.
    4 .
    Download and unzip the files.zip to a local folder on your file system. In this tutorial, we use the C:\sqldev3.0 folder.

    I installed XE. It asked me to set up a username and password during the install.
    How do I login as the SYS user, though?
    There is a Connection Name, Username, and Password field when I try to set up a connection in SQL Developer, and I used the username and password I made during the install. I clicked the Test button to test the connection.
    I see "Status: Failure -Test failed: ORA-28009: connection as SYS should be as SYSDBA or SYSOPER".
    How do I tell SQL Developer "as SYSDBA or SYSOPER"?
    Sorry, this is probably easy, and I'm just clueless about it.
