SQL Developer 1.5.1 won't display UI any longer...

Howdy, y'all; I'm using SQL Developer 1.5.1 on a laptop with Windows XP Pro SP3, fully patched, and 2 GB of memory. I try to run the system efficiently with as few processes and services as necessary, so as to avoid compatibility problems. All other apps, including Office 2K3 are fully patched.
I'm trying to export data from an Oracle 10.1 instance; it worked for a while, but now SQL Developer doesn't run. In Windows Task Manager, I see "sqldeveloper.exe" as a process using ~95 MB of memory, but no CPU; the UI doesn't appear beyond the startup tips dialog.
I changed the UI style from "Oracle" to "Windows" in the Preferences dialog, just to see what it would look like. Might this have broken SQL Developer? Don't wanna re-install if it's not necessary.
Thanks for your assistance.
Sincerely,
APJ in The OC, SoCal.

I had a similar issue, icons and display window was all messed up and mousing over made things worse.
Solution
I noticed that errors were being logged on the logging page tab, errors like:
source : o.jt.ui.themes.ThemeProperties
Message: Failed to load icon etc.
Somehow the default Fusion Blue theme has gotten corrupted and I can't get it back. I changed the Theme and now it works fine.  Tools -> Preferences -> Environment -> Theme pulldown box. FYI - I'm using the Oracle look and feel setting.
Clues
Logging on as another user on the same machine didn't have problems with the Fusion Blue theme.
Anyone know where these themes are stored? There should be a error handling routine in the code for this situation.
_Things that didn't work_
- Messing with the Java SDK versions
- Delete and re-install
- Switching between the versions that did and didn't include the Java SDK
- Delete c:\documents and settings\user\Application Data\SQL Developer directory didn't work either, but now my DB connections settings are gone. :( At least the software is usable again.

  • SQL Developer 3.0.04 worksheets not displaying

    Worksheets are not displaying in SQL Developer 3.0.04.34 (download included JDK1.6.0_11) on Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit. I upgraded from 2.1.1.64 and chose to migrate existing connections.
    I am able to open all connections, view table and object listings in the navigator tree view, and expand tables to see column names, but nothing displays when I click the Data tab, Columns, Grants, or any other tabs. No column headings appear. No error messages appear.
    When opening views, I am able to click on the SQL tab and retrieve text.
    No data displays when I run a query. The same thing happens when I try anything that should return data, such as Tools...Monitor Sessions, anything from the new DBA navigator, anything from the Reports tab.
    This is only happening on one of two Windows 7 PCs I have installed it on (both upgraded from 2.1.1.64), so I know it should work.
    I have tried:
    re-installation
    reboots
    separate installation of Java JDK 1.6.0_25 and the SQL Developer version that excludes the JDK
    uninstalling Java to eliminate conflicts
    locating the SQL Developer folder outside of Program Files to eliminate Administrator permission issues
    editing SetJavaHome in sqldeveloper.conf
    Has anyone seen this same problem?

    I just solved my own problem. I don't know what caused it, but the fix is fairly simple.
    SQL Developer is not installed in Windows using an installation program, and to my knowledge doesn't have registry entries. Application-specific configuration and temporary data is kept in
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\
    This folder contains information for all copies of SQL Developer installed on the computer.
    Before re-installing, it is necessary to completely uninstall version 3.0.04. This is done by deleting the folder where you installed SQL Developer, in addition to the following AppData folder:
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\system3.0.04.34
    I also deleted C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\SqlHistory, but that might not have been necessary.

  • Develop panels in LH5 won't display

    Just installed LH5 and updated to LH5.2  Imported a picture and opened the Develop Module.  No side panels came up and under Panels in the Windows menu, all panel options are greyed.  Do I need to uninstall and reinstall?
    Thanks

    Use the tab key to hide or show side panels. You can also control the workspace for both sides plus top and bottom strips by pressing the keys F5, F6, F7 and F8.

  • SQl Developer 3.0.04  Revoke doesn't generate any DDL. Bug?

    Hi everyone,
    trying Revoke while rightclicking on , e.g. a stored function doesn't generate any DDL. Specifically, opening "Perform Revoke Action", selecting the Properties tab and applying the desired action doesn't do anything. Interestingly enoguh, selecting the "SQL" tab shows no generated DDL no matter what properties were set. It looks to me as another bug. Any thoughts.
    Cheers,
    Bob

    Hi Bob,
    The SQL tab will remain empty until the privileges to be revoked have been selected. In the properties tab of the revoke dialog, the drop down list for "Users" contains a list of those users for which privileges on the object have been granted. (If this list is empty then you will need to do some grants first!) Select a user. You should now see some privilege names in the right hand side of the shuttle. Shuttle one or more of these to the left pane. You should now see generated SQL in the SQL tab.
    Please let me know if this doesn't resolve the problem for you.
    Best regards,

  • SQL Developer 3.1.07.42 existing column filter no longer editable

    LO developers,
    I have noticed a change in behaviour (I would not call it a regression ;o) ) since v3.1 prod release.
    Until 3.1.07.42, when you add a column filter on a table or query resultset, you could edit the filter later. Since 3.1.07.42, it is no longer possible: one has to remove the filter first and then enter a new one.
    Is this the intended behaviour? I preferred the previous one.
    Have a nice day,
    Olivier.

    Unfortunately. Here is another forum thread referencing this issue, including the bug number:

  • Using REF with object table in SQL Developer

    When i create object tables and fill them with data, then in SQL Developer de REF value isn't displayed.
    I did the following:
    CREATE TYPE adres_type AS OBJECT
    (straat VARCHAR2(20)
    ,nummer VARCHAR2(10)
    ,postcode VARCHAR2(6)
    ,plaats VARCHAR2(50));
    CREATE TABLE adressen of adres_type;
    CREATE TYPE locatie_type AS OBJECT
    (nr NUMBER
    ,naam VARCHAR2(20)
    ,adres REF adres_type);
    CREATE TABLE locaties OF locatie_type;
    CREATE TABLE locaties OF locatie_type
    (SCOPE FOR (adres) IS adressen);
    insert into adressen values (adres_type('Arnhemsestraatweg', '33','6881ND','Velp'));
    insert into locaties values (1,'Directie', (select ref (a) from adressen a where a.plaats = 'Velp'))
    Then in SQL Developer de REF(A) column is empty, while in SQL*Plus it displays the REF value:
    In SQL Developer: SELECT a.*, REF(a) FROM adressen a;
    STRAAT NUMMER POSTCODE PLAATS REF(A)
    Arnhemsestraatweg 33 6881ND Velp
    In SQLPLUS: SELECT a.*, REF(a) FROM adressen a;

    Is this a bug or is there another reason why the ID doesnt display in SQL Developer.
    (this didnt work in all the previous SQL Developer releases and still not in de 2.1 E.A. version)

  • Encountered SQL Developer Error 'Can't Start because MSVCR71.dll is missing

    Hello,
    Thanks for looking at this entry
    I have an older version of SQL developer and it suddenly won't run with the following error
    'Can't Start because MSVCR71.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program.........'
    And it is indeed missing. So, rather than download what might be a virus from the internet (new version of MSVCR71.dll ), I tried to do a new install of SQL developer from:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html
    I put it on my D drive, unzipped and tried to launch.
    It asked where I had java.exe (full path name). I found it at C:\Windows\System32\java.exe
    Now I encounter: Cannot find J2SE SDK installed at path C:\Windows\System32\java.exe
    Please help
    Regards
    Bill

    Hi,
    The 32-bit and 64-bit Java 7 JDKs include only msvcr100.dll, 32-bit Java 6 includes only msvcr71.dll, and 64-bit Java 6 has neither!
    Also, keep in mind that Java 7 is not certified yet for ANY* version of SQL Developer. The standard recommendation is to install the latest update in the Java 6 JDK code line (currently 1.6.0_45) and use that. Make sure to get the 32-bit version!
    Regards,
    Gary
    Edited by: Gary Graham on Apr 24, 2013 1:15 PM
    Corrected which Java downloads actually contain the msvcr71 and msvcr100 DLL versions. Sorry for messing it up the first time!

  • SQL Developer 1.5 having problems with JDK 6 Update 7

    I tried to open a table using SQL Developer 1.5 but connection timed out. when using SQL developer 1.2 i don't get any problems opening it.
    i have JDK 6 update 7 installed.
    the only problem with SQL Developer 1.2 is that i get a jdbc in the error log
    how do i get to fix the SQL Developer 1.5?

    --The sql developer is connected using tnsnames.ora, with read only access
    --i'm using windows XP SP3
    --I have jdk 6 update 7 installed
    --The tables that I can't View is listed under Other Users.
    --I thought it was just because i have no permission to view it, but when i used the old sql developer 1.2, it displayed it properly.
    --The reason i want to use SQL developer 1.5 is because i don't want to see any JDBC error on log messages, which happens on the sql developer 1.2
    --i dont get to see any errors, sql developer suddenly can't view and lost the connection. it says connection is currently busy. and suddenly stops responding, the only way i can get it working again is by using the taskbar, when it close the program it gets java is not responding..
    --also when i try running sqlcli.bat i get error with it.. is it because of my java?
    --What more details do you need?

  • 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.
    - There is no way to scroll all the way to the right side if you have more then approximately 5 entities horizontally.
    - Open SQl Developer data Modeler, Click on File, Open, select an XML file and a dialog box is displayed.
    - The checkbox needs to be moved to the right as it is partially cut off.
    - 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

  • SOLVED: SQL Developer Code Compilation with warnings

    Hi, I think I found one bug in sql developer.
    I have one pl/sql package, that contains a lot of code. In the previous SQL Developer releases (prior to 1.2) when you compile the code, first appears the errors and then the warnings. Because of some type conversion in my sql statements i have more than 20 warnings, and now i cannot see the errors (i think that they will appear if i'm able to increase this "20 messages" limit). I was searching for some option in SQL Developer to increase the number of displayed warnings or errors (or turn off the warnings) but i cannot find such parameter.
    Is this a bug, or i'm missing something ?
    PS: because of this, i'm not able to compile my package with sql developer, and i'm compiling via sqlplus.

    Yes, you're missing something: the forum's search feature.

  • How to execute command(program) from external file in Oracle SQL developer

    Hi,
    Does anyone know, Oracle SQL developer version 1.0.0.14.67 got any function that can execute command from an external file?
    Example, i have 100 insert SQL inside a text file,
    and i want to use Oracle SQL developer to execute it. How do i read from my text file? Thanks a lots.

    If you're new to Oracle, do yourself and us a favour: read some tutorials and manuals. What sqldev's worth, better download the latest version (1.1.2), lots of fixes and enhancements...
    Now for the big popper: to run an external file: @file

  • Some Photos Won't Display

    I have the Droid X with the new 2.3 Gingerbread and just recently had certain photos that will show as a thumbnail image in the gallery but when I touch them to view the larger image it only displays a generic icon (sun over mountains box) instead of the actual pic.  I checked the photo info and it is still in a .jpg format.  I didn't edit them in any way, only certain pics won't display.  Any ideas on what may be causing this?

    You probably have a corrupted file ...  See this thread from Wildman which addresses the HOW TO fix for possibly corrupted JPEGS.

  • SQL Developer-Cannot Connect

    Hi, I have the same problem as the person who posted the question
    The history is i already have oracle 10g express edition installed on my system but with it I cannot create tables or execute DML or DDL commands so I downloaded SQL developer .
    When it came to the connection I wanted to fill in the Hostname , Port and SID in that order it gave me that same error "The network adapter could not establish connection ", and to fill in those spaces I used the link I saw when opening the Human Resources schema in the express edition(The schema came in the express edition and I used it to learn the SELECT statement). so i tried to use that address and it came in this format :- http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4500:1000:3171371893604961
    And since SQL told me to fill those parameters as Hostname:Port:SID I felt the use of the last 3 digits i.e 4500:1000:3171371893604961 would have worked but that is what is giving me the error.
    I would appreciate the help. Thank you
