Sort Order of Tables in Data Modeler in SQL Developer 3.0

I have a schema with many tables and would like the Data Modeler (in SQL Developer 3.0) to create a Relational Model sorted by table name in Alphabetical Order. The default seems to be random alphabetic order.

There's an algorithm involved, and I'm pretty sure it's related to the number of grouped objects by relations, but instead of guessing I'll ask the developer to weigh in with the 'real answer.'
When working with larger models, I've found the #1 tip for making them easier to digest is to break them down into smaller SubViews. Have you experimented much with this feature yet? Also, you can right-click on a table in the tree and 'Go To Diagram' to find the object in the diagram.

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.

How to integrate the Data modeler in Sql developer

Hi
How can we integrate the data modeler into sql developer and use the data modeler?
Thanks

Integrating different oracle products (SQL Developer [Data Modeller], JDeveloper, ...) on platforms like Eclipse, Netbeans, JDeveloper Framework is a really missing feature.
JDeveloper has a good approach for integrated Java and database development, but has not immediate benefits from from other development streams like SQL Developer.
On daily work we must use more than three different tools for most common task
- editing stored functions, procedures and packages with SQL-Developer (code formatter in Jdeveloper produces sometimes UNREADABLE code ( So we are using TOAD instead ). Why can't Jdeveloper use SQL-Developer formatting tools in bug fixed verrions from 1.5.5?
- database modelling with SQL Developer Data Modeler without PLSQL package support ???
- database development with JDeveloper, ADF and offline database model without capabilities for logical databse models
Please put them all together!

Data modeler and Sql Developer

Just downloaded sqldeveloper 3 EA - and the ability to drag a schema into data modeler for a quick logical diagram is gone.
Can this only be done now in the separate data modeler product?

It's still there - you can drag&drop tables from SQL Developer browser only to empty relational model diagram. Pressing Ctrl key will change the behavior - all child tables also will be imported.
You can drag&drop object types on data types model diagram.
Now you have more possibilities - to rearrange/format and print diagram, to generate DDL.

Is it possible to return a data grid in sql developer from package?

Hi, I am in need of some help in returning a datagrid rather than just a list from a package. This is my package:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY C_1
as
PROCEDURE COUNTING1 (C_YEARFROM IN NUMBER, C_TABLE_NAME IN VARCHAR2) is
yearCount NUMBER;
c_sql long;
BEGIN
execute immediate 'SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT SPECIES) FROM '||C_TABLE_NAME ||' WHERE year >2007' into yearCount;
dbms_output.put_line('Distinct species count: ' ||yearCount);
end counting1;
end c_1;
Is it possible to get the results of these in a table or data grid in sql developer, e.g. I would like to sort results etc rather than just a flat list? Something a bit more elegant then dbms_output.put_line?
Thanks

yes, I copied the wrong code into the example - what I actually want to display in a grid is the following:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE RSET_CURSOR IS
cursor rs_cursor is select species, location from ot;
r_c rs_cursor%rowtype;
end;
create or replace package rset_cursor2
is
procedure printSpecies;
end rset_cursor2;
create or replace package body rset_cursor2
is
procedure printSpecies is
begin
open rset_cursor.rs_cursor;
loop
fetch rset_cursor.rs_cursor into rset_cursor.r_c;
exit when rset_cursor.rs_cursor%notfound;
dbms_output.put_line(rset_cursor.r_c.species);
end loop;
close rset_cursor.rs_cursor;
end;
end;
I have also just noticed the list I am getting is only including one column of data where it should include 2, have I omitted something?
Thanks

How to generate the java code of a table's data model by parsing it's FXML?

I have know how to create FXML file that describes a table. Meanwhile, according to [Oracle Tutorial|http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/fxml_get_started/fxml_tutorial_intermediate.htm#CACFEHBI], it is a best practice to implement a class that defines the data model and provides methods and fields to further work with the table.
However, It's rather cumbersome and time consuming to typing the code. So, is there any tools that can generate the java code of a table's data model by parsing it's FXML describe file?

Error using Data Miner on SQL Developer

Dear all.
I'm trying to use Data Miner on SQL Developer (3.1.06) with Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 -
64bit Production, with the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options.
I created a project, a workflow, a data source, a classification model and connected them.
I tried to show the Decision Tree generated as described in the tutorial "Using Oracle Data Miner 11g Release 2".
But, I receive the message "It's not possible to load the data mining model because it does not exist" in a dialog box entitled "Model not found".
It seems that something was missing either during installation or granting my user.
Does anybody have seen this message and know what causes it?
Any other suggestion is welcome.
Regards,
Duncan

Hi Mark.
Thank you on replying my post.
I'm not the DBA of Oracle repository here. So, if possible, I'd like to address my issue without having to do anything in it.
I'll try to state better what we have here.
When I try to use latest SQL Developer version, 11.2.1.1.7.42, it got me a message stating current repository isn't compatible with this SQLDev version
Repository version is: 11.2.1.1.3
I don't know what type of upgrade SQL Developer wants to do...
About your other questions.
"Is the model not found error occurring for all models or just the DT model?" -- The error occurs for all 4 standard models: SVM, GLM, NB and DT. But, I'm able to see all other options: "show tests results", "Compare tests results".
You did not report that the workflow failed, so you must be seeing a successful completion status for each of the nodes. -- Yes, all steps are executed and finished OK.
Are you using a proxy user or some other connection definition other than a standard connection. -- No.
There is currently some problems supporting proxy based connections that will be fixed in a upcoming SQL Developer release.
So, if you can provide me some details on how your connection is defined, that will be helpful.
How was the product installed and the user granted rights? -- I need to ask PUCRS DBA team to answer these questions.
Was it done through the UI or by running the scripts in the dataminer/scripts directory?
Lastly, what is your client operating system and are you using the SQL Dev 64 bit or 32 bit release? -- I tested in 2 different computers, both with Windows 7 Professional. In my notebook, it's 64 bits OS version.
Thank you for your attention and kind reply.

Duncan

Update date format in SQL developer

I need to convert date format in SQL developer , it's varchar2 format now
The current format is yyyy/mm/dd-hh:mm:ss:sss and I need to convert it to yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss CST
I don't really know SQL but did some research and found that I can use instr to find the string and replace it, however, no matter what I try,there is always something off :(
Could anyone here help me with it? thanks in advance.

create table xo_custom_date_format (mydateAsChar varchar2(100));
table XO_CUSTOM_DATE_FORMAT created.
insert into xo_custom_date_format
values ('2012/03/23-09:52:24:123')

select to_timestamp(mydateaschar, 'YYYY/MM/DD-HH24:MI:SS:FF3') mydateAsTimestamp from xo_custom_date_format
-- We must convert to timestamp data type, rather than date data type as you have fractions of seconds
mydateAsTimestamp
+23-MAR-12 09:52:24.123000000 --<-- This will probably appear differently, depending on your database NLS_ settings (i.e. what country you are in)+

How to hide system tables when using the Oracle SQL Developer?

Hi,
I would like to know how can I show only the tables that I created under the Tables tree? I didnt find a way to create a separate database using the Oracle Sql Developer. I see all the tables together, and would like to differentiate between different databases.
Can anyone explain to me how to do these things?
Thanks,

Alternative of Bridge table in data Modelling.

Hello Gurus,
while doing the data modeling, we found one place where we have Many to Many joins between One Fact and 3 Dim.
where in Dim., we mostly have only one attribute/ Dim, which relates Many to Many with Fact.
so as in obiee we have to build the bridge table to take care of the issue.
is there any alternative method of data modeling that can eliminate the Bridge table itself?
I was thinking to add the dim attribute in fact itself. though it's with diff grain it should work??

If you really have a many-to-many relationship from fact to dimension, which attribute value (which of the many) would you put on the fact?
What is the issue you are having with a bridge table?

How to sort web dynpro table wich data bind to CAF Entity Service

Hi
I created UI Table based on Model Node (CAF Entity).
When I try to sort this Table with using TableSorter, I get following in the trace log:
The error is: com.sap.caf.rt.exception.CAFBaseRuntimeException: Aspect does not support changing rows via its list interface
Have I met CAF limitation, or do I do something wrong?

Hi Nikolai,
if you use the implementation
<code>
IServiceFacade serviceFacade = CAFServiceFactory.getServiceFacade(ts2Definition.class);
</code>
it means you use the typed access.
Possible in this sneak the
<code>
     IServiceFacade serviceFacade = CAFServiceFactory.getServiceFacade();
</code>
does not work.
Try the following way - it must work.
<code>
     private IServiceFacade getServiceFacade() {
          final String method = "getServiceFacade()";
          entering(method);
          if (m_serviceFacade==null) {
               try {
          CoolConnectionProperties properties = new CoolConnectionProperties()
               public String getCoolHost()
                    return "caf";
                     m_serviceFacade = CoolUtils.getServiceFacade(properties);
               } catch (CoolConnectionPropertiesException e) {
                    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(e.getMessage(),false);
                    CAFUIPublicLogger.traceThrowable(Severity.ERROR, method, e) ;
               } catch (CoolUtilsException e) {
                    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(e.getMessage(),false);
                    CAFUIPublicLogger.traceThrowable(Severity.ERROR, method, e) ;
          exiting(method) ;
          return m_serviceFacade;
</code>
Also do not sort in query. Sort the model node after you aspect binded. Use the method
node.sort(your_comparator) ;
the comparator like this:
<code>
     public class YourComparator implements Comparator
       public int compare(Object o1, Object o2)
          IWDNodeElement nodeElement1 = (IWDNodeElement) o1 ;
          IWDNodeElement nodeElement2 = (IWDNodeElement) o2 ;
          String name1 = nodeElement1.getAttributeAsText(_attrName) ;
          String name2 = nodeElement2.getAttributeAsText(_attrName) ;
          if (name1 == null)
               return -1 ;
          if (name2 == null)
               return 1 ;
          if (_direction == "up")
               return name1.compareToIgnoreCase(name2) ;
          else if (_direction == "down")
               return -name1.compareToIgnoreCase(name2) ;
          return 0 ;
       public void initilize(String attrName, String direction)
          _attrName = attrName ;
          _direction = direction ;
       private String _attrName ;
       private String _direction ;
</code>

How to record partitioned tables in Data Modeler ?

Hi,
I have discovered the options for partitioned tables. Some questions remain, however.
1) Static partitions
For one table, a set of predefined partitions is set up in the data model. In certain situations, a new partition is added. Is it possible to generate alter table DDL from the model that will add this partition ?
2) Dynamic partitions
For another table, partitions are added and deleted on the fly (exhange partition). For this tabel, I would like to record just 1 partition, which is added when the tabels are created initially. It is not important to include the actual partitions when synchronizing with the database. Is it possible to skip this for a certain table (i.e. record this preference with the table, since it does not apply for all partitioned tables... ) ?
Thanks,
Richard.

Hi Richard,
For one table, a set of predefined partitions is set up in the data model. In certain situations, a new partition is added. Is it possible to generate alter table DDL from the model that will add this partition ?
In Data Modeler version 4.1, ALTER TABLE ... ADD PARTITION statements are generated for new LIST partitions, but not for other types of partitions.
For another table, partitions are added and deleted on the fly (exhange partition). For this tabel, I would like to record just 1 partition, which is added when the tabels are created initially. It is not important to include the actual partitions when synchronizing with the database. Is it possible to skip this for a certain table (i.e. record this preference with the table, since it does not apply for all partitioned tables... ) ?
I've logged an enhancement request on this.

Problem in creating DATA Model from SQL SERVER 2008 in BI PUBLISHER

Dear Team,
I connect BI Publisher with SQL SERVER 2008 But On creating Report on BI,when we create data model...dataset,
i select the tables but when i click on RESULT i am geting this error.
error--
[Hyperion][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Invalid object name 'DBNAME.DBO.TABLE'.
please resolve this problem...
Thanks,
Him
Edited by: h on Aug 22, 2011 6:31 PM

Hi David,
The things I said are not a fix for this problem.
If your RCU installation worked, then you do not have to worry about modifying the createfr.sql.
Edit:
I've just tracked the problem. It appears that when using the query builder, BI forgets to add the " sign.
For example:
This query will give the hyperion error.
select     "table"."field"
from     "database.user"."table"
To correct it write it like this:
select     "table"."field"
from     "database"."user"."table"

Importing Erwin models to SQL Developer Data Modeler (SDDM)

Has anyone successfully done this? The real problem I am having is figuring out how to export the model from Erwin. SDDM expects an XML file from Erwin, but we have not figured out where in Erwin there is a XML export option. I am assuming someone in product development tested this right? And that they had a specific path they followed to make it successful. I am trying ot get a client to use SDDM but if we can't get the existing models into SDDM, it will be a no-go.
Thanks!

Hi Kent,
we have not figured out where in Erwin there is a XML export optionIt's in "Save As" functionality (ERwin) - you can select to save the model in XML format - that's for ERwin 4.x and ERwin 7.x.
Version 2.0 (current published) supports import from ERwin 4.x, version 3.0 of data modeler supports import of ERwin 7.3 models.

SQL Developer Data Modeler for SQL Server 2008

I am not able to connect to my SQL Server 2008 from the SQL Developer Data Modeler. Although I do have jtds-1.2.jar on my machine and I can connect the SQL server through the SQL Developer, but still i'm not able to connect through the data modeler. I need to re-engineer and generate data model for some existing schemas.
Here is what I'm following:-
File->Data Modeler -> import -> Data Dictionary -> Add new connection -> JDBC ODBC Bridge -> Other Third Party Driver
now when I'm giving the JDBC URL and the Driver, It throws an error message stating that the driver could not be found.
Please let me know what I can do to solve this, any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
AVA

I'd try 1st to connect to the db from sqldeveloper (through jtds - no ODBC involved) and see if you can browse your db and issue sql statements in a worksheet. Then export that connection in xml format and import that from the modeler.
