SQL Developer 1.5 Missing DB Connection Tabs

After installing SQL Developer 1.5 EA1 in a new directory, I do not have the Sybase, MS SQL, MYSQL tabs when I try to create a new entry in the Database Connection window. Is this a Java problem? I have many database drivers and tools installed on the same workstation.

I've installed SQL Developer 1.5 EA3 (sqldeveloper-5304.zip incl JDK1.5.0_06) on Windows XP (service pack up to date).
I've downloaded http://download.sybase.com/pub/jConnect/jConnect-6_05.zip for Sybase connectivity and unzipped to "C:\Program Files\sybase\jConnect-6_0"
I add the drivers under Prefs > Database > Third party drivers as:
c:\Program Files\sybase\jConnect-6_0\classes\jconn3.jar
and/or
c:\Program Files\sybase\jConnect-6_0\classes\jTDS3.jar
When adding a connection, I only get Oracle and Access tabs (not a Sybase one too).
Moving the .jars to a path without spaces didn't help.
Please help.

SQL DEVELOPER 3 EA1 - Missing Left / Right tab scroll icons

On the left pane that has the Connections, Reports tabs, once a few schema browsers are added (2 for example), there is no way to scroll left and right on the tabs using Left/Right buttons. The right pane that has the SQL worksheets get those arrows once more tabs are added then can fit the window.

I already have a bug logged for the text on the tabs not being visible if you have 3 or more tabs open in the navigator. As noted, you can drag these tabs to create separate new navigators, which may be considered to be a work around, but does mean you can see your tab headings. The extra options and navigators do mean that this is more noticeable now. I have raised the priority of the bug.
Ctrl+tab will allow you to navigate through the tabs.

SQL Developer 1.5 where are connections stored?

SQL Developer 1.5 where are connections stored?

The connections are in
C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\SQL Developer/system1.5.0.53.38/o.jdeveloper.db.connection.11.1.1.0.22.49.35/connections.xml
If you want to back them up, you can just right-click export from the tree.

SQL Developer 1.1 Crash on connecting

Hello,
I have a TNS type connection defined which uses the default role and a connect identifier rather than a network alias. When I click test I get a success message but when I click connect then SQL developer waits for a few seconds and then crashes (no error message displayed). Can anyone suggest where to start looking for the cause of this?
Regards

I found another post by jayantp from 8-dec-2006 where he suggested copying some files from the oracle client jdbc\lib directory to the sqldeveloper\jdbc\lib directory:
ojdbc14.jar and
ojdbs14dms.jar
This works for me but I don't know what the side effects might be. Any thoughts?

Oracle SQL developer 3.2.20.09 connection problem

hello everyone. I just installed oracle SQL developer on mavericks. active JDK is 1.6.0_65. host name : som3a... now the problem is , whenever i try to make a new connection using the previous info and specifiying the default port 1433 i always get the following error
Status : Failure -Test failed: Cannot connect to Microsoft SQL Server on som3a
- can these fields ( connection name , username ,password ) take any values or do they need to be something special like ? i mean the host name must be som3a right so do the same constraint apply on these fields ?

SQL Developer on Windows trying to connect to M/F with RACF authentication

I am currently running the latest downloaded version of SQL Developer on a Windows XP client machine.
We have recently upgraded our z/os Oracle version to 10.2.0.3
I was advised to use the thin java client in SQL Developer by inputting the URL into the advanced window - jdbc:oracle:thin:user/******@ukmet-***:3010:***
This returns an ORA-28037 Cannot get session key for RACF authentication
If I however substitute oci for thin then I get a test successful but the subsequent attempt at a connection crashes SQL Developer.
Any ideas on how I get a stable connection greatly appreciated

The tns list might be empty due to the bug that it's only looking for lower case tns file names. This is a bug in 1.1 and has been addressed with the patch. Also in 1.1, there are some instance where the tns file is not picked up through the registry setting, you might need to set the PATH variable to address that. This too has been fixed in the patch.

SQL developer drop all my network connections

Hi all,
I have used different versions of SQL Developer and I have read many forum posts but I cannot find solution for my network problem.
I can connect to my databases without any problem, but when my session goes to snipped state (due to idle_time setting) after some time ALL my network connections are dropped (e.g. my mail client give me message that cannot connect to the server, my ftp client session is dropped, my ssh session are dropped...). It is horrible because sometime I need connect to my PC remotely and due to this problem I cannot. It is not problem of my PC, I have used 2 different PCs and all is the same. If I don't start SQL Developer, I can have ssh session open for week without any problem.
Last year I used to start keepalive extension, but is really annoying for every oracle session manualy enable keepalive.
And when I open 10 db sessions and for one session I forgot click enable keepalive then all my network connections are dropped.
Yesterday I have installed current version of SQL Developer hoping that the problem is solved but today morning I find all my network sessions dropped (e.g. I need 8 ssh sessions reconnect).
Does anybody have any idea how to solve this?
Thanks.
Marian

Hi Marian,
I am not quite sure how using SQL Developer could make all client software accessing the network lose their connections. Do you use some kind of VPN (Virtual Private Network) software? Do you always try to use SQL Developer with the non-Oracle KeepAlive plug-in?
Maybe local policy imposes some limit on the total number of simultaneous connections (active or inactive) you can have, and it gets exceeded only when you run SQL Developer. Are any other application clients used to access databases from your machine(s)?
If the real network connection is stable, typically one need only worry about database session time-outs (idle limit reached) or VPN time-outs. I suggest asking for help from someone inside your organization responsible for networks. It seems like something is forcing a VPN disconnect.

SQL developer (3.1.06.44) connection issue

When I try to connect the database I'm getting below error, what could be the problem...Can any one help me ...?

Error:

Staus: Failure - Test failed : The network adapter could not establish the connection

Hi 889828,
It is a fairly generic error.
Is your database Started? ( On Windows XP service name: OracleService<name> )
Is there a firewall (on the client or the server) blocking the connecton? (try telnet to 1521)
Does SQLPLUS work (through a tcp network alias in tnsnames.ora)?
Does tnsping work ?
Are all your arguments typed in correctly?
I did a quick look for similar messages:

SQL Developer 1.1 21.41 Partition Tab

It appears that the partition tab for tables in the object browser only appears for partition tables in Oracle 10g and not for partition tables in Oracle 9i. Any idea why that could be?
null

I should add that certain tabs will not show up in some objects depending on the database version you are using. e.g compare the tabs for indexes on a 10g database and a 9i database.

TimesTen Connection Tab Does Not Appear in SQL Developer

Hi,
I have followed the following steps as discussed in the Official Docs:
(http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/timesten/sqldev-15313-relnotes-093173.html)
Prerequisites
Before you can use SQL Developer to connect to TimesTen:
Install the TimesTen 7.0.3 or later release of the server or client on the same machine as SQL Developer.
Make sure the CLASSPATH environment variable is pointing to the TimesTen JDBC driver ( TimesTen_install_dir/lib/ttjdbc5.jar) .
On Linux systems, execute the shell script TimesTen_install_dir/bin/ttenv.sh or TimesTen_install_dir/bin/ttenv.csh to set up the TimesTen environment before launching SQL Developer.
Still, there is no tab for TimesTem connection in my SQL Developer, only the ORACLE tab. I am using RHEL 5.5 and I have updated my JAVA to the latest version.
Am I missing something else?
Thanks!

Hi,
i had the same problem. I solved it by:
changing the classpath in /TimesTen/tt1121/bin/envcfg:
# Things to add to the CLASSPATH
my @add_classpath =
( "$ttdir/lib/$ttjarfile", # JDBC
"$ttdir/lib/orai18n.jar",
"$ttdir/lib/ttjdbc6.jar", # ADDED
"$ttdir/lib/timestenjmsxla.jar", # JMS/XLA
"$ttdir/3rdparty/jms1.1/lib/jms.jar", # Sun JMS
instead of this change (adding the ttjdbc6.jar to classpath) you may edit in the same file:
$jdkverstr = '5' unless defined $jdkverstr;
my $ttjarfile="ttjdbc".$jdkverstr.".jar";
to
$jdkverstr = _'6'_ unless defined $jdkverstr;
copy the first line of code after bash in the file /TimesTen/tt1121/bin/ttenv.sh
and pasting it in the sqldeveloper.sh after the bash
also you need to change the javahome in sqldeveloper
/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.conf:
mudar: SetJavaHome ../../jdk to SetJavaHome /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0

"peer not authenticated" - Connecting to ORDS with SQL Developer

Background
Configuring ORDS (2.0.7) to my database, with APEX_LISTENER and APEX_REST_PUBLIC_USER created via APEX 4.2.2 script.
Listener is running as expected - and APEX works as expected.
ORDS credential setup (as made evident by the credentials file with the user name inside)
Addition of the line to the ords/default.xml: <entry key="security.verifySSL">false</entry>
To allow connection without using SSL.
Current Status
I am able to connect using SQL Developer "Restful Data Services" feature using the "HTTP" connection and the credentials that have been setup successfully.
Problem
Attempting to configure a SQL Developer (4.0.2.15) connection using the same account, but HTTPS with 443 - the connection results in the error message:
Authentication Failure
Cannot connect to S42
peer not authenticated
Additional
I am using an installation of Tomcat and a version of Glassfish to test this feature. I have received the same error on both test cases.
I have also tested by removing the <entry key="security.verifySSL">false</entry>
Is there a specific type of HTTPS certificate that is required to connect using HTTPS?
Did I miss a different setting?
Regards,
Tim St.

Got this working, needed a change to the config file on weblogic server by our DBA.

Partial(?) SQL Developer Connection

Here are the symptoms:
Can only connect to SQL Express as SYS (or SYSTEM)
When using TNS, no schemas show in Network Alias dropdown
No developer-created tables (in SQL Express) can be viewed in SQL Developer connection
Environment:
Using local machine (laptop)
OS: Windows 7
SQL Developer 4
I have a feeling I'm just missing something in configuration or set-up, but am not sure. Since I cannot create a full connection to a database using Developer, it's not useful to me and I would like to use it. Because the Network Alias dropdown isn't showing me anything, I'm wondering if anything is wrong with my SQL Express installation.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

My apologies. I have been told that the developer forum was the incorrect place to ask help for this problem. So I marked it as answered (by direction, presumably by the moderator). In the response, I was told to pose the question in the general area, which is what I thought I was doing.
No need to apologize - we are trying to get you to the right forum for your question.
You said you are using sql developer 4 and pPart of what you said was this:
When using TNS, no schemas show in Network Alias dropdown
Oracle doesn't have any such 'Network Alias dropdown' - and 'schemas' would NOT be in a TNSNAMES.ORA file: that file has SIDs or SERVICE_IDs and is normally used with an OCI Oracle client installation. Is that dropdown something on the connection dialog in sql developer?
And when you connect as one user you won't see any tables or objects for other users unless you open the 'Other Uses' tree.
You don't need a TNSNAMES.ORA file to connect if you use 'BASIC' as the connection type.

Where are Connections properties stored in SQL Developer on Windows XP?

I am amazed with the new SQL Developer with the simplicity it brings to SQL programmer. Does any one knows where SQL Developer stores all the added Connections? How can I use SQL Developer to read an existing tnsnames.ora file and set all the Connections properties?

The best thing to do is just export the connections you create to a file. Use the context menu to do this and then you can import and export the connections you create.
There is a TNS tab which should show your tns entries, if that's set up. If you don't see your tns entries in the drop list, then you need to set the path in you env variables. See the FAQ section on SQL Developer Exchange. http://sqldeveloper.oracle.com
