"Select File Type to Associate with SQL Developer" asked every time

Hello!
Just thought I'd mention, that the problem with the above question being asked every time you start SQL Developer isn't specific to Windows Vista, as stated in
Re: Vista Problems
The problem is also constant on Windows XP, if you (or rather your employer) has setup your logon user so you cannot add or change file associations. I think it would be nice with a configuration option in SQL Developer to stop it from asking this question every time.
Best regards, Hans Henrik Krohn

Hi,
You can stop SQL Developer from attempting to establish file associations by passing the no.shell.integration system property:
sqldeveloper -J-Dno.shell.integration=true
Thanks,
Brian

  • Re: SQL-Developer Freezes Every Time I Click on a Trigger to Edit it

    Yes: SQL-Developer Freezes Every Time I Click on a Trigger just to edit it, even though the trigger is disabled. How do I get SQL-Developer to stop freezing-up and making me re-boot every time I even just click on a Trigger to select it, so that I can then rt.-click and edit it. Sometimes, SQL-Developer won't freeze immediately upon selecting the Trigger with my mouse, it will allow me to rt.-click to bring up the pop-up menu where I then try to click on "Edit" so I can change the same trigger, & as soon as I choose "Edit" SQL-Developer freezes-up -- must reboot.
    Also, one time I dropped a Trigger altogether in SQL-Developer, not just disabled it, but SQL-Developer was still launching the supposedly "dropped" trigger (the trigger also no longer appeared as an item under "Triggers" tree view) when I ran
    a SQL Script that did INSERTs: this supposedly dropped Trigger that no longer appeared anywhere in SQL-Developer was still executing (I could tell because I was getting ERROR MESSAGES in the Messages box) and the Trigger that I had executed the DROP command on from within SQL-Programmer really was only dropped and stopped executing after I re-booted. Can you help me?
    My immediate problem is the one above though. Do I need to create a Schema-Level Trigger to disable or drop all Triggers when I first logon (triggered by my logon system event), and then they will "CREATE" properly and stop freezing up and acting weird?

    Sorry, the above thread should have been a "new" post, not a reply post.

    I have Windows 7 and was wondering if there was a version of Firefox called "Nightly"? The File type of a Nightly.Ink. Also, every time I open "Nightly" now I get a program update popup and it says "update.exe". Is this a part of Firefox "Nightly" or is it a virus? Please answer this so I can relax.

    There is a version of Firefox named Nightly, but most people do not have it installed. Currently:
    * Firefox 24 (released)
    * Beta (future Firefox 25, subject to some changes)
    * Aurora (future Firefox 26, subject to many changes)
    * Nightly (rapidly evolving future Firefox)
    I can't answer your detailed questions about Nightly, however, please make a backup of your profile before removing it, if you remove it, as some users have reported losing all their personal data when doing that.

  • SQL Developer starts every time as if first time and ingores preferences

    Every time I launch SQL Developer, it offers me to configure file type associations. Also, many preferences, such as tab settings for editor, while preserved between sessions, have no effect. Other settings, such as the interface style, work normally.
    Windows Vista Business 32bit
    SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13

    The file associations thing means you don't have access to the registry to associate file types. Probably connected to the Vista security model. Try registering the filetypes for use by sqldeveloper through explorer.
    This other problems generally means you don't have write access to the sqldeveloper system directory.

  • SQL file does not open in Mac with SQL Developer

    Hi,
    I have my .sql extension files in mac associated with SQL Developer, but when I open the file SQL Developer does not start; nothing happens.

    Anyone???

    Hi Mike,
    I can provide solution if you can tell me the registry value(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sqlwb.sql.9.0\Shell\Open\Command). I believe there is an extra %1 which is causing this.

    Let me see if I can get my IT guys to temporarily grant me registry access.  As I said above, it's locked down, but maybe if I ask
    reeeeally nicely :-)  I will keep you posted.  Thanks!
    EDIT: The IT gods have smiled on me.  The value for the key above is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\ssms.exe" /dde

    Change that to

  • Double click to open .sql files with sql developer on mac osx

    hi,
    I am trying to double click a .sql file and open it with SQL Developer on Mac OSX lion. I have associated .sql files to SQL Developer. On clicking the file it opens the SQL developer application but does not open the actual .sql file. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Did you find any solution to your problem ? My SQL Developer worked fine and could open additional SQL files. Now it only opens the first one when starting SQL Developer. Additionnal files cannot be opened. Even running sqldeveloper.exe from command line with a SQL file as parameter doesn't help.
    I'm on Windows 7, 64 bit, but the environment may not necessarily be the cause.

  • View jobs with SQL Developer and export to file with delimiter

    Hi,
    is there a way to view, create and alter my database jobs with SQL developer?
    And is it possible to export tables, views or simple queries to file delimited different from the CSV standard?
    Diego.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forum!!
    To select data from a table or a view you must use the SELECT sql command. Example to get the data from your view you can
    select ZMATNUM,ZMATCUR,ZMATATTR from ZMATERIALAs you have said you are using SQL Developer just execute the above query in your sql developer and it will show the data. Right click the grid and export the data to excel file.

  • Issue with SQL Developer connect to SQL server

    I'm using "SQL Developer 2.1.1.64.45" to work on a migration project which needs to convert a SQL server database to a Oracle 11g database. But I got an issue when I setup the SQL server connection. The SQL Developer let me connect by selecting a SQL server database name (For example: Northwind), but once connected, it always connected to "master" database instead. The "SQL Developer" is running on Windows 7 Professional (x64) platform. My Oracle database is 11g, and SQL server database is SQL 2005. And my SQL server instance name is "SQL2005". Anyone have ever experienced this problem? Thanks in advance.
    Edited by: user8276338 on Feb 8, 2011 1:05 PM

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for the feedback, lets stick with SQL Developer 3.
    Correct me if I'm wrong,
    You attempted to migrate from SQL Server to Oracle including target generation and datamove in one go, by filling in each step of the migration wizard to the end.
    During the datamove you got
    ORA-01000:maximum open cursor exceeded
    So it looks like SQL Developer during the migration is not closing cursors fast enough and hits the maximum number of open cursors in your Oracle database.
    I think the default max open cursors is 300 in Oracle.
    There are a few things we can do here.
    You should be able to see the new migration project in your Migration Projects navigator.
    By navigating down the project tree to "Converted Database Objects" we can attempt the data move again by right clicking and choosing "Data Move".
    But first I would restart SQL Developer so as to free up any lingering open cursors.
    That may allow you to complete the data move, as the only cursors being open are being used in the data move and not some cursors which may have been left open from previous steps in the migration.
    Now from my perspective I would like to identify where are we leaving open the cursors, so I'm going to setup some testcases my end to see if I can replicate.
    From your perspective Id presume you just want to move on with the migration.
    So if the above (shutdown and attempt just the data move) doesnt workyou could
    A) Increase the MAX OPEN CURSORs on your Oracle databases so it complete the data move
    or
    B) Use the offline data move technique.
    A) Increase MAX OPEN CURSORs
    This wiki explains how to do that, looks like 1000 is fairly common, but even a much larger number is not a problem
    http://wiki.oracle.com/page/OPEN_CURSORS
    ALTER SYSTEM SET OPEN_CURSORS = 10000;
    OR
    B) Offline Data Move
    If you are moving large amounts of data (say > 1GB), then the standard data move (we call it online), which just uses JDBC to SELECT * FROM and INSERT INTO may not cut the mustard.
    In this case you can try using our offline technique. SQL Developer will generate a set of scripts for you.
    unload_script.bat will use SQL Servers BCP tool to dump out the table data into DAT files.
    oracle_ctl.bat will load the data in the DAT files into Oracle.
    As we know the names of all the tables, columns ,both SQL Server and Oracle, we can generate fairly good scripts.
    The benefit of this technique is large amounts of data can be migrated and you get to use tools designed to dump data and load in data, so you have better error logging and tweaking.
    To attempt this in the Migration Wizard , Data Move page, select offline.
    If you can describe your database a bit (number of tables, number of procedures, amount of data to migrate) I may be able to define my testcase better so I can replicate the issue.
    Thanks

  • Statement terminator problems when exporting data with SQL Developer 3.2

    I've ran across what appears to be a bug with SQL Developer 3.2.20.09. If someone can let me know if this is indeed a bug, or just something I need to configure differently, please let me know.
    The problem is related to exporting a database as a SQL script, and terminator characters at the end of "create" statements, especially when columns have comments, and problems that occur when using SQLPlus to run the export script to create the tables. With the old SQL Developer 1.5.4, with the "Terminator" and "Pretty Print" options checked, statements like the following are generated:
    -- DDL for Type NUM_ARRAY
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "NUM_ARRAY"
    IS TABLE OF NUMBER(20)
    -- DDL for Sequence MYTABLE_SEQ
    CREATE SEQUENCE "MYTABLE_SEQ" MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 CACHE 20 NOORDER NOCYCLE ;
    -- DDL for Table MYTABLE
    CREATE TABLE "MYTABLE"
    (     "MYTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
         "COL2" NUMBER,
         "COL3" NUMBER
    -- DDL for Table ANOTHERTABLE
    CREATE TABLE "ANOTHERTABLE"
    (     "ANOTHERTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
         "COL2" VARCHAR2(1024),
         "COL3" VARCHAR2(1024)
    COMMENT ON COLUMN "ANOTHERTABLE"."ANOTHERTABLE_ID" IS 'This is a comment.';
    When I then run the script using SQLPlus, everything works fine. However, with SQL Developer 3.2.20.09, with the same options enabled, the same statements are generated like this:
    -- DDL for Type NUM_ARRAY
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "NUM_ARRAY"
    IS TABLE OF NUMBER(20)
    -- DDL for Sequence MYTABLE_SEQ
    CREATE SEQUENCE "MYTABLE_SEQ" MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 CACHE 20 NOORDER NOCYCLE ;
    -- DDL for Table MYTABLE
    CREATE TABLE "MYTABLE"
    (     "MYTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
         "COL2" NUMBER,
         "COL3" NUMBER
    -- DDL for Table ANOTHERTABLE
    CREATE TABLE "ANOTHERTABLE"
    (     "ANOTHERTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
         "COL2" VARCHAR2(1024),
         "COL3" VARCHAR2(1024)
    COMMENT ON COLUMN "ANOTHERTABLE"."ANOTHERTABLE_ID" IS 'This is a comment.';
    Notice all of the extra slashes in there. If a slash is not used as a statement terminator, SQLPlus treats slashes as a command to repeat the last SQL statement, which causes many errors about tables or sequences already existing. So, I tried removing the "Terminator" flag from the export options. This lead to statements that looked a bit more promising:
    -- DDL for Type NUM_ARRAY
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "NUM_ARRAY"
    IS TABLE OF NUMBER(20)
    -- DDL for Sequence MYTABLE_SEQ
    CREATE SEQUENCE "MYTABLE_SEQ" MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 CACHE 20 NOORDER NOCYCLE
    -- DDL for Table MYTABLE
    CREATE TABLE "MYTABLE"
    (     "MYTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
         "COL2" NUMBER,
         "COL3" NUMBER
    -- DDL for Table ANOTHERTABLE
    CREATE TABLE "ANOTHERTABLE"
    (     "ANOTHERTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
         "COL2" VARCHAR2(1024),
         "COL3" VARCHAR2(1024)
    COMMENT ON COLUMN "ANOTHERTABLE"."ANOTHERTABLE_ID" IS 'This is a comment.'
    The big problem, though, is in the statement for the table with a comment. Notice that there are two statements, but there is not a semicolon after either of them. This unfortunately causes the "COMMENT" statement to be appended to the "CREATE TABLE" statement before being executed, which causes the table to not be created (which causes even more errors later on when the script attempts to populate the table with data).
    So, it would appear that this is a bug, but I'm not sure. Is there a way I can configure the export options to make SQL Developer export these statements like it used to in older versions?
    Thanks,
    -Bill

  • DB2 8.1 to Oracle 11g with SQL Developer 3.0

    Hi,
    I started migrating my DB2 8.1 to Oracle 11g, with SQL Developer 3.0
    Basically, I need to migrate TABLES.
    I followed these steps:
    1) I created a new Oracle database, tablespaces, users, etc.
    2) Then, I created both (DB2 and Oracle) connections into SQL Developer 3.0. All works fine.
    3) I start capturing one table with the "Copy to Oracle" feature. Done with no errors.
    But when I compare the table structure, I see the following problems in Oracle:
    a) All fields are NULLABLE = YES. SQL Developer show this field property correctly in DB2: NULLABLE = NO, but not migrated the same!
    SOLUTION: All I want is that SQL Developer simply migrating the same value who I have in the DB2. But how?
    b) In DB2 I have one field property called COLUM DEFAULT. In Oracle this property is called DATA_DEFAULT. The SQL Developer show this field property correctly for the DB2 tables (for example: 0.0, ' ', etc), but don't migrated the same value! All fields are configured to DATA_DEFAULT = NULL.
    SOLUTION: I think this occurs because NULLABLE is migrated with the value YES. Well, all I need is the same above...
    NOTE: I tested the SWISSQL DATA MIGRATION software, and it works fine. All tables, field properties and data are migrated sucessfull. But this program is trial version!
    Well, I think all of this are BUGS into SQL Developer.
    Please, anyone to help me?

  • Problems with SQL Developer 2.1

    I have upgraded to SQL Developer 2.1 from 1.5.5.
    Iam presenting my overall experience with SQL Developer 2.1 compare to 1.5.5 version.
    If the session expires, reconnecting is really pain in all SQL Developer versions. It opens a new blank window every time we reconnect, we have to copy all the things into new window every time.
    when i tried to execute an insert as select statement it is showing nothing, but it's doing something in the background.
    My templates are not working for (ctrl+Shift+T) after i upgraded to 2.1 from 1.5.5.
    Things I tried and liked in 2.1 are*
    1. 2.1 gives the exact time taken to return the no.of rows (Ex: If it returns first 50 rows, it will display time taken for that particular 50 rows only).
    Things I did not like in 2.1*
    1. When we try to expand a node, it shows "Loading and folder icon" (I didn't like the folder icon showing up every time)
    2. I did not like the new icon for SQL Developer 2.1 itself. (It has become hard to identify the 2.1 on the task bar with this icon)
    3. I did not like the close(i.e., x) on the worksheet tab.
    4. Look and feel wise 1.5.5 is better than 2.1
    Thanks!
    RG

    Regrettably we can't please all the people all the time.
    The little cross was a request specifically from the user community. We had complaints that users inadvertently closed windows and wanted a permanent symbol to show the closing tab. This took much effort and time to finally introduce into the product as it had to be approved through usability teams and introduced into the underlying IDE.
    The release notes explain that there is no longer a key sequence for the Code Templates, start typing your code and it should appear in the code insight.
    The icon updates on the taskbar was also an update based on user feedback.
    While there won't be many changes between the release candidate and production, I do remind you that you are working with beta software and not production software.
    Thank you for taking the tiem to post your feedback. I hope you'll find lots to really like in the latest release. Take a look through the 2.1 New Features list.
