SQL Develeper Data Modeler download problems

Hello All,
I am trying to download any of the Data Modeler packages fro the website and the server always times out at about 900 Kb. It has done this for over a week as we are trying to download the program. Do any of you have an alternate download location or have information about who I should contact?
Thank you

I have tried in IE 8 64 bit, IE 8 32 bit, Mozilla Firefox 3.6.12 and Google Chrome 7.0.517.44. All these I have tried on my Machine and everytime I get an error message " Cannot download datamodeler-3.0.0-649.zip from download.oracle.com The Connection with the server was reset"
I have also tried it on two other machines running IE 8 32 bit and on the Server running IE 8 32 bit 7.0.517.44.

SQL Data Modeler - Startup Problem

Hi
I've created a Relational Model with Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler, with a few tables, and everything was working ok.
Yesterday I made some changes to the model, added columns and another table, saved the model and closed the Data Modeler.
Today - when I tried to open the Model, I only get an error "Some objects are not loaded correctly. See the log file for details"
The log at the bottom of the Data Modeler only shows: "Open Design: "nameof model"" and no details of what went wrong. No other details is provided, and as far as i can see - and now I can't view the model at all.
Any ideas how to find the problem/ fix it in order to get the created Model back?
Thanks
Coenraad

Hi Philip
Thanks, I found the log file there. I have cleared the log file, and when I tried to open the model again, it created the below information, any ideas what could be wrong?

Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler start up error

Hi All,
I just downloaded Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler (2.0.0.57.0) [Released 1 July 2009] by selecting the option "Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler for Windows (This zip file includes the JRE)"
After I installed the same and tried to run it by clicking datamodeler.exe, I get the following error message
"unable to create an instance of the Java virtual machine located at path:..\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll"
On the same machine I can successfuly run the Oracle SQL Develper with no errors. My machine is having Windows XP Professional SP3.
Any ideas? If there was a problem with Java, than the Oracle SQL Developer should also not run. But as stated it runs with out any error but the Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler gives the above error.
Regards,
JAA149

1 - The above problem has nothing to do with the memmory. I tried on a 400 MB RAM, 900 MB RAM, 1.5 MB RAM & 2 MB RAM with the same arror.
"unable to create an instance of the Java virtual machine located at path:..\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll"
http://i30.tinypic.com/9vkwf6.jpg
2 - There are two "datamodeler.exe: files
One is at D:\datamodeler\datamodeler.exe
2nd is at D:\datamodeler\bin\datamodeler.exe
The same error occurs with both the files.
3 - The Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler version is "Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler (2.0.0.57.0) [Released 1 July 2009]" and the file I downloaded is "Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler for Windows (This zip file includes the JRE) - (57M)"
If I look in "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\README.txt" I find
"Java(TM) Platform, Standard Edition Runtime Environment Version 6"
If I run "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\javacpl.exe" I get
http://i30.tinypic.com/mt8ocn.jpg
If I run "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\jureg.exe" I get
http://i28.tinypic.com/30boiyo.jpg
If i check at the control panle add/remove program
http://i30.tinypic.com/1428tba.jpg
If I go to "http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp" and download "jre-6u16-windows-i586-s.exe" and run it.
If I go to "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6" I find the same files as in "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre"
I am able to run Oracle SQL Developer with out any kind of error let alone the above one. But with Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler I get the above mentioned error no matter what I try.
As the error states "unable to create an instance of the Java virtual machine located at path:..\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll". The file "jvm.dll" is located at two places. One at "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll" and the second at "D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll"
A similiar problem occurs with JDeveloper with the fllowing solution
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=506339&start=0&tstart=0
Which states the following
"hello!
in the problem with JDeveloper i have a solution. The jdk have a file jvm.dll in the path: jdk/jre/bin/client/jvm.dll this is the problem ... now in the path:jdk/jre/bin/client/ojvm has a file with the same name if you copy and paste this file to the another path, now its works fine your Jdeveloper.
Jdeveloper use two files to jvm.dll to work one in the folder /client and other in /server copy the same file to the two locations for precaution
for me work fine thanks..."
I tried to do the same (Copy from client folder to server folder)
D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
COPIED THIS FILE TO
D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
Nada. So I reversed it (copied from server folder to client folder)
D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
COPIED THIS FILE TO
D:\datamodeler\jdk\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
Does not work. So I tried another solution stated at the same forum entry
"Well,
i solved the problem by this way :
<SQLDEVELOPER>/jdev/bin/ide.conf
In this file, change this line :
AddVMOption -Xmx512M
by
AddVMOption -Xmx256M
Now, the executable is lauching correctly. No more errors with Java Virtual Machine.
But is it a good thing to solve it like that ?"
But the ide.conf file is only at "D:\sqldeveloper\ide\bin\ide.conf" which is for the SQL Developer and not the SQl Developer Data Modeler
Correct me if I am wrong but
JRE = Java Run Time Envoirment
JDK = Java Development Kit
And Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler needs JRE and not JDK. In any case I download JDK
jdk-6u14-javafx-1_2-windows-i586.exe (121,306 KB) and installed it but no succcess.
I tried every thing except completely re-install my whole PC.
Any help will be much appreciated.

New To SQL Developer Data Modeler - Data Dictionary Report

I am new to Data Modeler and I am currently learning what I can do and can't with it. Is there a way to generate a "Data Dictionary" report? We would like a report we can distribute that describes all tables and columns with descriptions and comments. We used to use an old version of Power Designer and we could do this from the data model we created. Is it possible to do something like this from SQL Developer Datas Modeler?

Hi,
Saxon is just an option, you don't need it by default.
Could be permissions problem. What are you working on i.e. OS? What java version do you use?
Even though you have specified directory for the reports do you have permissions to write there?
Report generation directories priority is:
1. Custom directory if specified in Settings->Data Modeler->Default Reports Directory
2. /datamodeler/reports/
3. User home directory
You must have permissions somewhere on these directories. On the other hand you are saying that report_data.xml is generated so you have permissions.
Okay. Now I saw a bug in 710. When you click "Generate report" there are progress dialogs and result dialog, but if you meanwhile click somewhere or change focus, these dialogs are hiding below main "Reports" dialog i.e. you are not seeing them. If you use Alt+Tab the result dialog will popup. This bug is fixed in the next release.
So you must see either result dialog or error dialog at the end of report generation. If not check with Alt+Tab if it is not hidden somewhere below and if there is no such dialog close the DataModeler and check the log file for some error.
There is SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.3 Early Adopter Available.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/datamodeler/downloads/datamodeler-33-ea-1869055.html
Above issue is fixed there and report is opening automatically.

SQL Developer Data Modeler - Version 3.0.0.665 - Open older project fail

Hi,
I just downloaded latest version of SQL Developer Data Modeler (3.0.0.665) and there is no "File" -> "Open" menu item. There is only "Save", "Save as", "Compare with" and "Exit".
I try to drag`n`drop project file to the Data Modeler window. This operation leads to opening project file as XML. I got the same result when I try to open the file with windows context menu "Open with".
How can I open older Data Modeler project? My previous version was 3.0.0 and project file was created there.
Maybe I need disable "Start Page'? But how? I cann`t find appropriate param in Tools -> Preferences

Hi,
See this thread: Re: 30EA2 problem: Menu items not available

My installation experience of SQL Developer Data Modeler

Installed SDDM successfully at work (Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit 4GB) and at home (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 4GB) after many frustrating hours. Finally found the simple solution:
1. Download JDK 6u33 - Java SE Development Kit 6 Update 33 ( link below). Select download for Windows x64. I had issues using JRE 6u33 per installation instructions... possibly self-inflicted error.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk6-downloads-1637591.html
2. Download SQL Developer Data Modeler.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/datamodeler/downloads/index.html
3. Change "SetJavaHome ../../jdk" to "SetJavaHome C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_33" in file:
...\datamodeler\datamodeler\bin\datamodeler64.conf
Be sure to change the 64 bit version of the config file.
To start SDDM:
1. Click datamodeler64.exe (in bin)
2. At prompt (first time only), enter: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_33
Hope this helps!

SQL Developer Data Modeler scripting

Hi,
I'm looking for a new modeling software for my company. SQL Developer Data Modeler (SDDM) has many features that fit my requirements. But there are some things that I'm not sure can be done. I work mostly with Oracle databases but still need to support some legacy and non-sql databases. Please look at problems below and tell me if and how those things can be achieved. Any suggestions for alternative solutions are welcome too.
1) I need to be able process Database Model from command line without human intervention and starting any GUI applications, for example generate DDL script form the model. Does SDDM have any interface for that?
2) I want to be able to export Database Model into a file in a custom (legacy) format.
3) SDDM stores database description in xml files. Is xml format defined anywhere? Are xsd schema files availabe?
4) Is there a SDK available that would allow reading SDDM Database Model into a custom application for further processing?
5) Is there any Java library available that parses Oracle-11-compatible SQL and PL/SQL?
Thank you in advance
Tomasz Grygo

Hi Kevin,
thanks for sharing your thoughts. There will be much more advanced find/search facilities in next version of Data Modeler and scripts also will be covered.

SQL Developer Data Modeler - Relation to Foreign Key Generation

SQL Developer Data Modeler 2.0.0 Build 584.
I am having trouble with Relations to Foreign Keys when Forward Engineering a Relational Model from a Logical Model.
First of all, the Naming Standard is not applied to the Foreign Keys when I perform the Engineer to Relational Model.
So I right click on the Relational Model from the Browser and Apply Naming Standards to Keys and Constraints.
I uncheck everything but Foreign Keys.
Now, Foreign Keys are named according to my Naming Standards.
However, this process also performs renames on the Column Foreign Keys even though I specifically unchecked that option.
This appears to be a BUG in the software and I haven't found a way around it.
I tried using {column} instead of {ref column} in the Naming Standard Template for Column Foreign Key, but that simply resulted in renaming my columns to "{column}".
Please confirm and/or let me know of any work-around for this.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Philip,
Thanks for the reply.
Is this recorded as a bug to be addressed in the future?
Should I submit this problem via Oracle Support?
The other work-around I came up with is to override every Relation name in the Logical Model with the name I want to use in the Relational Model.
When the Relational Model is Engineered, this becomes my Foreign Key name.
Of course, this is not how I want to do things, so I am hoping for a bug fix someday.
Regards,
Dan

Import / Export MySQL database in SQL Developer Data Modeler

Hello,
I have version 3.1.2.704 of SQL Developer Data Modeler and version 3.2.09 of SQL Developer installed.
When I´m adding a new connection in SQL Developer, I can choose the MySQL tab an create a connection to a MySQL database.
The connection test was successful and I can see all tables.
I use the same JDBC driver for SQL Developer and SQL Developer Data Modeler (mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar).
But there are two problems.
1. First there is an problem when I want to import from a MySQL database (SQL Developer -> File -> DataModeler -> Import -> DataDictionary).
After choosing the MySQL connection and pressing the next button an error occurs: CONNECTION_TYPE
What is the reason?
2. In SQL Developer Data Modeler I have not the CONNECTION_TYPE problem. But when I want to export DDL, there is no MySQL type selectable, although there is working connection to the MySQL Database. It´s the same in SQL Developer.
What is the reason?

Hi,
Data Modeler does not explicitly support import from MySQL databases, although you can use a JDBC connection to do this.
Philip described how to set this up in forum message How to connect mySQL for reverve engineering
There is no MySQL tab in Data Modeler - you should use "JDBC-ODBC Bridge" - "other third party Driver".
Set URL like : jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/database_name
driver Class: com.mysql.jdbc.DriverAlso Data Modeler does not support generation of DDL for MySQL.

How to install SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.1.1 for Mac OS X?

How do I install SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.1.1 for Mac OS X? I downloaded the file "datamodeler-3.1.1-703-macosx.gz" from OTN, but there is only a single file inside this archive - "datamodeler-3.1.1-703-macosx". What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance...

Extract that file and then run it.
Once you installed the tool to your Applications folder (if you choose to move it to Applications), you'll need to install Java (maybe).
What version of OS X are you on?
In a command window/terminal, type 'java -version'
If you get something back like 'java version "1.6..." then you're all good.
If you're on Mountain Lion, then type 'java' instead. That should download java for you.
Once you've got java available, then launch SQL Developer Data Modeler.
The installation notes are here if you want the official list of instructions

Bug report SQL DEVELOPER DATA MODELER

Hello,
I think i found a bug using Sql developer data modeler 2.0.0 build 584.
When importing a DDL file to create a relational model, foreign key constraints might not be created if foreign key uses multiple-field and the fields are not referenced in the same order as the primary key was.
ex:
Table FOO ..... PRIMARY KEY (id_1, id_2)
FOREIGN KEY (id_2, id_1) REFERENCES FOO (id_2, id_1)
Benjamin
P.S: Bellow is a portion of SQL code demonstrating the problem:
-- "_decompte"
CREATE TABLE "_decompte"(
numero_rang VARCHAR2(2),
numero_contrat VARCHAR2(13),
id_decompte VARCHAR2(19)
ALTER TABLE "_decompte"
add CONSTRAINT pk_decompte PRIMARY KEY (numero_rang, numero_contrat, id_decompte);
-- "_decompte_detail"
CREATE TABLE "_decompte_detail"(
numero_rang VARCHAR2(2),
id_ligne NUMBER(4),
numero_contrat VARCHAR2(13),
id_decompte VARCHAR2(19)
-- "_decompte_detail"
-- NOT Recognized by SQL DEVELOPER DATA MODELER (fields are not in the same order as primary key definition)
ALTER TABLE "_decompte_detail"
add CONSTRAINT fk_decompte_detail_1 FOREIGN KEY (numero_contrat, numero_rang , id_decompte) REFERENCES "_decompte"(numero_contrat, numero_rang , id_decompte);
-- Recognized by SQL DEVELOPER DATA MODELER
ALTER TABLE "_decompte_detail"
add CONSTRAINT fk_decompte_detail_2 FOREIGN KEY (numero_rang, numero_contrat, id_decompte) REFERENCES "_decompte"(numero_rang, numero_contrat, id_decompte);

Hi,
Well, I was recently given some database scripts and asked to correct and improve them. These scripts were not generated but rather hand made. Having no access to a DBMS I was just curious about the result of this option in Data modeler and tried it for a better DB overview. I don't need it at all, but I was surprised to discover that the result was a failure. So I tried various scripts until I found the mistake.
regards.

SQL Developer Data Modeler - integration with subversion

I just discovered the release of SQL Developer Data modeler, and found this to be very interesting.
We are still using Oracle Designer for database design, but we are looking for a replacement (for several reasons).
My question is quite simple:
Given that the modeler uses a filebased repository, and also given that we have several developers potentially working on a data-model at the same time, how does Data Modeler integrate with subversion for source control etc.?
Can the repository itself be under source control, and checked in/out directly from Data Modeler?
Or will only the output files be candidates for version/source control?
Let me admit right away that I have not read much of the data modeler docs, and I have also not downloaded/installed it (yet), but does anyone have pointers to docs on this , or general input/knowledge around it.
On a side note, I must say that it puzzles me that a company like Oracle, that delivers one of the best databases doesn't use its database engine to host the repository, but instead chooses to go for files (I assume xml) "scattered all over the place"....
Well, I guess they a have a reason for it..
Anyway:
Sql Developer Data Modeler and Subversion anyone?
Jens

Hi Jens,
It's early days and the initial implementation is indeed file based. Though I'd say not xml files "all over the place", but in ordered folders. Yes, as a database company it does make sense that we'd have a repository for managing and versioning metadata. However the tool supports Oracle and other databases and many companies use open source version control tools, such as Subversion and so anyone using the Data Modeler today can use it with Subversion regardless of the database they are designing for.
We do plan to have a repository, but in the 6+ months of the early adopter program found that many of the early adopters were happy to place the files under source code control using Subversion and in so doing also managed the multi-user development.
Integrated Subversion support is planned for a future release.

SQL Developer Data Modeler not drawing foreign key relationships

I'm having trouble with SQL Developer Data Modeler when I importa a DDL that has foreign keys. I export DDL files from SQL developer and choose various subsets of files. Sometimes Data Modeler will not recognize a foreign key if I include say a dozen files in the DDL file, but it will if I include just a few. Worse, even if the foreign key is recognized, sometimes it is not drawn in the Data Modeler and I have no way to make it be drawn. To be specific, I import a file containing the DDL for just two tables -- I see the foreign key! I import a file containing the DDL for a dozen tables including the two, I don't! Is there something I am not understanding about when Data Modeler will draw foreign keys or is the tool simply quite buggy?
Much thanks!
-ttamon

Hi Philip,
I believe I have isolated the problem. Apparently if a field is named "FOREIGN..." it interferes with the tool recognizing foreign keys. Try to import a DDL file containing the following text:
CREATE TABLE "SAMPLE"."SAMPLE_ONE"
(     "ID" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "VALUE" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR),
     PRIMARY KEY ("ID")
TABLESPACE "SAMPLE_DATA" ;
CREATE TABLE "SAMPLE"."SAMPLE_TWO"
(     "ID" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "FOREIGN_NAME" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR),
     PRIMARY KEY ("ID")
TABLESPACE "SAMPLE_DATA" ;
CREATE TABLE "SAMPLE"."SAMPLE_THREE"
(     "ID" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "VALUE" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "ALT_ID" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR),
     PRIMARY KEY ("ID")
TABLESPACE "SAMPLE_DATA" ENABLE,
     CONSTRAINT "FK6DF8294F2288190D" FOREIGN KEY ("ALT_ID")
     REFERENCES "SAMPLE"."SAMPLE_ONE" ("ID") ENABLE
TABLESPACE "SAMPLE_DATA" ;
You will discover the foreign key is not recognized or drawn! Now, if you swap the location of the third table (put it up first) everything works fine. This is how I discovered the problem, various subsets would work, others would not. To confirm the problem is with the field named "FOREIGN_NAME" use the DDL as specified above but change the first letter in the word "FOREIGN" to something else, and it will recognize the foreign key. Looks like a bug to me (took me about 4 hours to isolate this!). I am using Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler version 2.0.0 Build 584.

SQL Developer Data Modeler - MAC Version 2.0.0 Build 570 - Issues

In no particular order
- The Help, About box displays a different version information set then the SQL Developer Data Modeler, About SQl Developer Data Modeler.
- Not able to move any portion of the connection between entities. Thus there is no current way to align the lines as wanted.

- the text next to the checkbox is cutoff and only displays "Don't show this dialog agai".
- Printing Diagrams does not print correctly unless you have the entities displayed such that you can "read" them. If you have diminished the display so that you are not able to see the table or
field names then the Print Diagrams does not display the entity or field names.
- File, Recent Designs, does not retain the last or any design having been opened and/or saved.
- VarChar2 is not a displayed data type for Oracle 10G.
- There does not appear to be a way to create a set of fields which you would like to have added quickly and easily to selected tables.
- DDL Editor displays the Macintosh HD. It should display my User Directory

SQL Developer Data Modeler -- JRE or JDK

Hi,
Primarily, can any of you confirm that I need JDK (or J2SE SDK as the error message states) - and not just JRE as it is stated on the download pages on OTN?
I have just downloaded "SQL Developer Data Modeler" w/o JRE. Primarily because I already have JRE 1.6.0_17 installed, so downloading it bundled should not be necessary -- and secondly I would not want to risk intefering with the automatic software updating of JRE done by my company's IT support staff.
I may well be a complete Java amateur, but shouldn't JRE be sufficient, if you only want to run java apps?
Cheers, K

Hi -K-,
Yes, I do get an error.
I get the prompt: "Enter the full pathname for java.exe:"
I enter: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe"
Then I get the error message: "Cannot find a J2SE SDK installed at path: C:\Program Files\Java\jre6."
Which I interpret as JDK being a prerequisite for running the application -- though I do not understand why.
Looking back at the download I realize that I have version 2.0.0-570 and not the new 2.0.0-584. I will try that tomorrow.
Cheers, K
