SQL Developer 1.5 - Unable to Dock Help Window

I'm running SQL Developer 1.5 on Windows 2000. In the previous version of SQL Developer, I was able to dock the Help window. In the current version, this does not appear to work. Is anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?

Yes this is a known issue and a bug was already logged for this (6975741). The Help window is currently delinked from SQL Dev application which makes it undockable.

SQL Developer BRIDGE command from command line on Windows environment

Is it possible to call SQL Developer BRIDGE command from command line on Windows environment?

Hi <please supply your name>,
SQL Developer Worksheet is not available from the command line.
The BRIDGE command is only supported in the Worksheet.
Its an interesting idea though. Are you trying to script data move from a non Oracle database to an Oracle database using the BRIDGE command?
The BRIDGE command was initially done to allow a simple data move from a non Oracle database to Oracle. We then build the "Copy to Oracle" feature out of it.
http://dermotoneill.blogspot.com/2010/11/cross-database-bridge-statement.html
http://dermotoneill.blogspot.com/2010/11/copy-to-oracle.html
Since the BRIDGE command references connection names, which have to be defined in UI of SQL Developer any solution to run this on the command line would have to work this out.
There are number of ways you can do this without using the BRIDGE command.
1) Perform a capture/convert of your non Oracle database and then generate the "offline" data move scripts.
Theses scripts use SQL*Loader and your non Oracle database tool (Ex: Sybase BCP).
These are run from the command line and can be modified ....
2) Use a database link from your Oracle database to your non Oracle database and reference /query the data that way.
I would interested to hear your thoughts.

Dermot

SQL Developer 3.2 : Unable to browse java source in the db

Hi:
I noticed a regression in SQL Developer 3.2 in respect to 3.1 (on windows).
as of SQL Developer 3.1.7.7.42 I was able to browse java sources stored and compiled in the database.
The tabs "Details", "Source", "Policies" were correctly populated. If I had to complain about something, the names of the classes were "shortened" so that I saw "c932e55e_PrintDebug" instead of "my/company/application/package/PrintDebug".
I have tested the 3.2 release.
Now, the class names are complete, but the tabs are empty. I am also unable to retrieve the source of a class (as it was possible in 3.1)
Does this happen to other people?
Thanks,
Andrea

Thanks for the feedback, it is good to know I am not alone :-)
I did some further tests.
I enabled logging in sqldeveloper.conf, and found this query I believe to be the culprit:
Prepared:with src_name as (select source n from Dba_java_classes
where lower(name)=lower(:NAME) and rownum = 1)
select text||decode(substr(text,length(text)),chr(10),null,chr(13),null,chr(10)) source
from Dba_source
where owner= :OWNER
and type = 'JAVA SOURCE'
and (name in (select n from src_name) or name in (select owner || '/' || n from src_name)
or lower(name) = lower(:NAME))
order by line
Previously :NAME was populated with the java short name, while now it has the java long name.
In fact, if I compile a class where short name and long name are the same, it works.
In DBA_JAVA_CLASSES name is the long name, while in DBA_SOURCE it is the short name (at least this is what I observed).
So I believe that this is truly a regression.
Anyone (from dev) can confirm this?
Thanks,
Andrea

My SQL Developer is not working correctly! help

hello!!
My problem here is not like I can't live or work but it is REALLY annoying, see my SQL Developer is not taking any key different from letters and the space bar, I mean, if I use the enter key, doesn't change the line, if i use the backspace key doesn't erase if I use F5/F9 doesn't execute the query(s)!!!! and so the arrow keys don't work!!!
any ideas why is that happening? and if so howcan i fix it?

There is a well known but still unresolved bug causing this kind of behavior, if you are on SQL Developer 1.5.X you can work around the problem by loading default accelerators from:
Tools -> Accelerators -> Load Preset -> Default
If you are on 2.1.X the preset can be loaded from
Tools -> Preferences -> Accelerators -> Other Actions -> Load Keyboard
In 2.1 this problem has not been reported so far, so if you are in 1.5.X you may consider upgrading.

SQL Developer Locking up/Unable to Cancel long Running tasks

I have had the same problem with a number of versions of SQL Developer (and version 3.2.09). It occurs when trying to cancel a long-running PL-SQL Function or procedure that has been started by 'Run' in SQL Developer.
Select Terminate in Run Manager does not stop the job. Nor does trying to exit SQLDeveloper; it asks whether I want to kill the job; then doesn't kill it and doesn't exit either.
Trying to save modifications to anything the process depends on results in SQL Developer locking for ~20 minutes.
I have to resort to getting a DBA to manually kill the process at the server.
Is there any possiblity of a workaround or a way of making the PL/SQL not lock so it can be terminated please?
Thanks

Quick Question... About SQL Developer for MAC - MAC Users please help.

Hello everyone, I hope that someone out there can tell me that I am not crazy.
I have installed SQL Developer for Mac OSX to access a MS-SQL database, and perform simple query operations. For the most part, I have been thrilled to have a Mac version of software that's fully featured.
Details on my current setup:
SQL Developer
Version 2.1.1.64
Build MAIN-64.45
Mac OSX V10.6.3
JTDS-1.2.5 JDBC driver
Database connection is SQL Server 2005
Anyway, my problem is this... I cannot locate the Query Builder function within this software. I have found the tutorials on how to use it, and it would appear to be located when you right-click the SQL worksheet to open the context menu. This option is not present in my software, and I need to figure out why. This screenshot is what I see when I right-click.
Does anyone know if this is related to MS-SQL-2005?
http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/1195/screenshot20100523at102.png
Any assistance you could provide would be AWESOME! Thank you!
Edited by: user13118614 on May 23, 2010 3:05 PM

First of all you need an active connection in the worksheet (upper right drop-down).
But even then it might not work. Sorry you were "thrilled to have a Mac version of software that's fully featured", because even if it is, MsSQL isn't. The tool is mainly focussed in providing a migration platform to Oracle, so a lot of the cool stuff is Oracle only.

K.

SQL Developer and GeoRaptor problem

Hi All,

So in order to see the spatial data i installed Geo Raptor as below:

Click on button "Next".
3. Dialog "Check for Updates - Step 1 of 3: Source"
Add new Update center. Click on button "Add" and insert values:
Name: GeoRaptor

And sql developer update sucessfully , but after installation of Geo Raptor as well i am unable to find the Geo Raptor tool in SQL Developer.
Could any one please help me that why Geo Raptor tool is not dispaying in SQL Developer.
Thanks in Advance
Vipin

Vipin,
I am one of the developers for GeoRaptor.
I note that you are using version 1.5.0.52 of SQL Developer.
The current version of SQL Developer works with version 2.1 and above.
Download the latest version of SQL Developer (I run version 2.1.1.64) and reinstall GeoRaptor.
If the install is correct you should see a GeoRaptor menu entry under the View menu pillar. Also, you
should see GeoRaptor commands against the right mouse click menus on tables/sdo_geometry columns.
Let me know if you still have problems.
regards
Simon

How to create partitioned bitmap index in SQL Developer?

I am running SQL Developer version 3.0.04.34 ; on Windows 7 (64 bit) against:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
CORE 11.1.0.7.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
I am trying to create a bitmap index on a partitioned fact table which is part of a data warehouse. The index is in support of a single-column foreign-key to a dimension table. Heretofore, we had been using partitioned B-Tree indexes. According to the Data Warehousing Guide, we should consider using bitmap indexes for this purpose. Accordingly, I was trying to create such an index in our development environment. I used SQL Developer to edit the table, and attempted to create a bitmap index using the advanced screen from the index edit screen. I changed the partition type to "Local" from "None" using the radio button. When I attempt to save this change, I get an error message "A bitmap index cannot have a global partition". This happens whether or not I have assigned storage for the partitions. The index partition names are the ones used successfully for the existing B-tree indexes. I can create the SQL for the index creation by hand, but it would be simpler and easier to maintain if I could use SQL Developer.
Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
Vin Steele

There is a radio button for index type in the New Index... dialog and in the index section of the edit table dialog.
Which version of SQL Developer are you using?

Writing extension for SQL Developer

Hello all,
I'm new to writing extensions for SQL Developer using JDeveloper. Can you help me with some example with common functionality, like how to get the current connection? Is there some documentation for the oracle.sqldeveloper package? The example may include some techniques like how to get the schema name for a chosen table, get some other info for the table and so on.
Thank you in advance!

Since I upgraded SQL Developer to Version 2.1.1.64 I'm finding that.......

.........if I double click on a *.SQL file, it launches SQL Developer but the file doesn't open in it.
This is really irritating.
The file association appears to be set up correctly.
Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?
Thanks

SQL Developer startup is very slow

I'm finding that the first time I start SQL Developer it takes between 3 mins 30 and 4 mins to start up. This seems far too long. It's installed on a Windows 7 PC in it's own folder in Program Files. What's causing it to be so slow? - virus scanning, JVM startup? Also why are there 3 executables - sqldeveloper.exe in teh root and sqldeveloper and sqldeveoperW in teh bin folder?
SQL Developer Version: 3.0.04
o/s: Windows 7

Your "Automatically Check for Updates" option may be turned on. You can look at this setting by going to Tools->Preferences->Extensions. When I unchecked the "Automatically Check for Updates" checkbox my startup times drastically decreased. Hope that helps.

SQL Developer 1.2 for Win hangs on startup

Hi.
I have a problem with starting SQL Developer (1.2, JRE included) on certain Windows XP machines - after closing the start-up extensions preferences dialogue window the interface hangs. A shadow of the dialogue window is still visible and the interface is frozen, with 100% CPU activity and no options available whatsoever. I tried waiting, but after 15 minutes there is no change. Restarting the system doesn't help, and on repeated tries the result is always the same.
I tried searching around this forum but couldn't find the solution. Can someone please point me in the right direction or perhaps tell me the possible cause?
Thanks in advance. Cheers!

I just had the same problem. Only after changing to a Vista administrator user account I could successfully start sql developer.
