Sql Developer 3.0 Notes

Overall, the new SQL Developer looks very good! I am very excited that you have added a spatial viewer! Bravo!!!
I've noticed the followign issues:
1. If you use the new "password" functionality (taken from SQL Plus, of course) more than once during a user session, it seems to lock up the SQL Developer application. Sometimes, in fact, it will lock it up even with the first.
2. In the Map View, the Show Geometry Context tool does not seem to work for point geometries, and a bit inconsistently for polygons.
3. In the Map View, it would be nice to be able to increase the display size of point geometries.
Thanks,
- Dave Caglarcan

David,
Regarding the MapViewer:
2. In the Map View, the Show Geometry Context tool does not seem to work for point geometries, and a bit inconsistently for polygons.Since the point geometries are small you can always zoom (+) your view to see the points become small circles. You can then easily see context of the point geometries.
Regarding the polygons please provide us with more details ... Usually spatial data is dense therefore please make sure that the data is valid.
3. In the Map View, it would be nice to be able to increase the display size of point geometries.Just zoom (+) and pan around. You can use the Marquee Zoom tool to select your area.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

SQL*Developer 2.1 - Not Generating DDL for Different Users

Using SQL*Developer Version 2.1.0.63 I get an error trying to generate DDL from another user, that has access to many other schemas. It looks to me like Sql Developer is calling the DBMS_METADATA package from within other PL/SQL.
I am receiving the following error:
ORA-31603: object "ACCOUNT_TYPE_LKP" of type TABLE not found in schema "POR_OWN"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 105
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 3241
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 4812
ORA-06512: at line 1
I would receive these same errors in SQL Developer 1.5, but the DDL would still generated. It was picking something up, even though it had an error.
Our DBA has not been able to provided a work around. He says you have to login directly as the owner of the objects to use dbms_metdata in this fashion.
Is there any work around for this? I really need to be able to get DDL and I do not want to go back to 1.5 (I like the other new features of 2.1).
Thanks,
Tom

We have several users currently using SQL Navigator and/or TOAD. We would like them to switch to SQL developer, but part of their job is to view the source of views in another schema. They have select privileges on the underlying tables and are able to see the source using other tools. Using SQL Developer, they receive on ORA-31603 because it's calling dbms_meta. Note ID 1185443.1 describes the issue and suggests granting the users the SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE.
We are hesitant about granting this role to these users which allows access to ever 1,700 objects, plus execute privileges to 4 objects.
Support indicated that Enhancement Request 8498115 addresses this issue.
Is this something that may be addressed in the next release?
Thanks,
Paul

Oracle SQL Developer for OSX not able to compile/execute/handle packages?

Hi,
Have been stuck with this for quite some mins now,
When I execute this simple -valid- create package statement in Oracle SQL Developer:
http://www.pastebin.ca/757859
It shows it's not compiled and has errors, when I check the Packages part in Oracle SQL Developer I see this:
http://www.pastebin.ca/757860
The ; after end has been removed by the application. In fact this means I can't do anything with packages in Oracle SQL Developer for OSX?
Is this a known bug?
Or am I doing something wrong?
Any resolving response to this matter would be really appreciated.

Yeah, that bug is in there since stoneage, and is really a no-brainer to fix. Until they don't, we'd be losing time recompiling.
FWIW, everything works fine using the procedure editor for creating, editing and compiling.

K.

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!

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 bat file not found?

(possibly this should be posted in another place)
I installed the new Oracle 11.2.0.1 64 bit in windows 2008 sp2 64 bit, the sqldeveloper doesn't work,
D:\app\serv_hyperion\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\SQLDEVELOPER\SQLDEVELOPER\BIN\sqldeveloper.bat
Actually, I cannot find this bat file, this is strange. And I have to refer to the sqldeveloper.exe file, and it looks for a java, and I refer it to a jdk or jre Java, but stilll error happens. what happens? why i cannot find the sqldeveloper.bat file?
when I refer the sqldeveloper.exe to JRE java.exe, the error is: J2SE SDK is not found. If I refer the sqldeveloper to JDK java.exe, the error is Java Virtual Machine is not available. I have 2 issues: the first probelem is I cannot find the sqldeveloper.bat that should exist, the 2nd problem is I cannot start the sqldeveloper.exe no matter if I use JRE or JDK, thanks!

Hello,
Sincerely, I always install SQL Developer separately on a directory whose name specify the Release. For instance, sqldeveloper-2.1.1.64.45.
Because Oracle delivers new release every 2 or 3 months, and it's recommended to do not modifying Oracle Server installation without using OUI.
Then, you can locate the sqldeveloper.exe on this directory and create a shortcut to it.
Afterwards, when you want to install a later release (sqldeveloper x.y.z.aa.bb) you may create another directory for that and import straigthly all the connexions you already defined from the former installation.
By exporting / importing connexions you won't have to recreate them.
By that way, you may have several releases of sqldeveloper and compare them. Sometimes there're differences between them.
For instance, the first release of SQL Developer (1.1) allows connexions to Oracle 8i database while it's not allowed in 2.1.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

SQL Developer 1.1 not working

I used SQL Developer 1.0 on my machine without any problems. Now I wanted to switch to 1.1. Installation and configuration works without errors even the "test connection" button works fine. But if I try to connect to the database clicking on th plus sign of the database in the "connections" windows (and this is true for every database I tested) the SQL Developer 1.1 dies unexpectedly and without any error message. Its just gone. I found a trace file saying there is a problem with OraClient10.dll. Any ideas?
# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x61d32910, pid=2756, tid=2904

# Problematic frame:

I found an old forum entry:
"Disconnecting from Raptor
Jan 19, 2006
We have an open bug that if you right-click on a disconnected node, it opens the connection. That means that if you right-click and disconnect and then either expand the node or right-click, we will reopen for you. Once you record your connection information, we do not prompt you again. We are working on adding the capability to not store your password so you will be prompted if you disconnect but in the current version, we save all your connection information so we never prompt you again. -- Sharon"
This describes our problem. The funny thing is this concerns the Raptor Project. But we are using SQL Developer 1.1.0.23.
It only happens in the session where the connection is created and the tool memorizes the password.

SQL Developer export files not visible

Hi All,
I've started using SQL Developer recently and I am completely new to this tool.
I've noticed a weird problem. All the export files and the folders I create from SQL Developer is not visible from the normal windows. Say I've executed a query and I need to export the output to a file. I right-click on the data grid; select Export Data -> xls/csv (anything) . I get a pop to mention the Location of the file. I click on Browse ; then select the location and then click on apply. I expect the file to be created. But when I go to that folder; I do not find any files.
To add on to my suprise; If i click on open a file and navigate to the above mentioned path; the pop-up shows that the file is present in that folder. But it is not visible from Windows. This is of no use as I cannot use those files.
BTW; version is 2.1.1.64
Note: I've also enabled the option of viewing all hidden files and folders in Windows.
Regards,
Arun

Hi Arun,
If you are using Windows Vista, Windows 7, or higher, and writing to a directory (like C:\, C:\Windows\, C:\Program Files\) that Microsoft wishes to protect from malware or just simple clutter , then you are running afoul of a redirect feature in the OS that puts the unwanted file in a VirtualStore folder for your user name, specifically:
C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\<full path where you think the file got stored>See the following for details:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/folder-redirect-in-windows-7/95218744-37e6-40cd-b890-2e647351df16
I just ran across this myself for the case of C:\ and perhaps this applies to your situation also.

SQL*Developer 'Query Results' Not Displaying

I have just recently installed SQL*Developer v3.2.2 and after I run a SQL query the tab 'Query Result' tab is not displayed. I have tried to show this tab and to use the arrow keys at the bottom of the screen to display this screen but I cannot view the query results. I have used v1.5.1 in the past and know that it should display when after running a query and can be resized if required but I cannot seem to show it is v3.2.2

Hi,
Yes, I did install to a clean directory. I have even deleted all contents of the directory and re downloaded
the software again to the same directory but this did not work either it still remembered the original settings.Keep in mind there are two locations that an installation updates:
1. The SQL Developer installation directory (which you deleted).
2. The User-Related Information (in your "user home" directory), which is updated by the settings migration
Perhaps Jim meant you should also remove the user settings for the last SQL Developer version installed and possibly even avoid migrating the old 1.5.x settings when you first start SQL Developer after that. See the following forum thread, probably unrelated to your situation, but containing where to find the location of user-related information in the Help:
Re: IDE issue - Query Result grid is not selectable or scrollable
Hope this helps,
Gary

SQL Developer Tools/Preferences not saving

Downloaded SQL Developer 1.5.4 recently. When I go into Tools/Preferences and change any preference and click OK and when I go back in the updates are gone. Defaults are there. I have tried changeing the preference, clicking OK, exiting SQL Developer and opening it up again and the preferences are back to defaults.
How do I get the preferences to save?

SQL Developer 3.1 not migrating Sybase Users to Oracle 11g R2

I have tried both online and offline capture and the Sybase users are not being captured (Tables, Views, Procedures Worked). I searched this forum and saw another post about this issue but the Oracle representative never came back with a final finding/answer. We have 1000+ users to migrate so all help is appreciated.

Hello.
sorry for the delay (if you need quicker response I suggest that you open a Service Request in My Oracle Support).
In your first post you said that you tried online and offline migration. So for an offline migration you have created the scripts using the Create Database Capture Scripts menu button. Then you have run that scripts against Sybase. Has there been created a file SYB15_SYSUSERS.dat (or SYB12_SYSUSERS.dat if your Sybase version is 12)? If that file has been created, does it contain anything or is it empty?

SQL Developer 4 release notes

Hi,
I have notices that there is a new version available for some time. To be honest, I didn't have the courage to test it yet.
What I am missing, is the release notes. Where can I find the release notes, especially list of bug fixes.
Thanks, Dan

Hi Philip,
thanks for reply. Just to be exact, the release notes were added exactly today Until now there were only those for previous version.
I also see that there isn't any list of bugs fixed in this release.
EDIT: sorry, I was looking on wrong download page, but still no info about bug fixes

SQL Developer 1.1.2.2579 will not start in Vista Ultimate 64 bit

I have tried both versions of 1.1.2.2579 (with JRE/JDK and without). Both versions give me "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000018). Click OK to terminate the application." Build 1557 seems to work fine on the same machine (with UAC off. I have not tried it yet with UAC on).
Here are some machine details: MS Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit, default JVM Sun 1.5.0_11 [Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.5.0_11-b03, mixed mode)]. Since other folks had some problems with UAC I disabled that to see if it would make any difference. I get the same result with or without UAC when I try to launch the application normally. With UAC on and using "run as administrator" I get nothing at all. That is I get no error but the application never actually launches either. It doesn't appear to do anything at all.
The version of 1557 that seems to work fine is the one with the JRE.

And???
We can't help you if you don't tell us what you tried
and what happened when you tried it.This is message when try run on vista ultimate x64 "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000018). Click OK to terminate the application."
you can help??? what is happen???
finally sql developer run or not run on vista x64???
p.s.: excuse-me... i don´t write in english very well.... waiting replies!!!
thanks!

Oracle SQL Developer does not browse Sybase's objects

I had installed and configured jtds-1.2.5.jar in Oracle SQL Developer for Sysbase connection. Oracle SQL Developer does not browse any objects. Why? Can you please provide a solution?

Hi,
Can you provide some more information into what you are experiencing.
What version of SQL Developer are you using?
Did you install the jtds jar under the
Tools > Preferences > Database > Third Party JDBC Driver
Is the Sybase tab available in the new connection dialog?
Did you select the default database in the connection dialog?
Can you run a query against the Sybase database from the SQL Developer worksheet?
Note that JTDS 1.2 is the only supported version. There maybe issues with other versions.

Dermot.

sql developer version 2.1.0.63

Sorry - but I doubt if you will get much help for that ANCIENT version of Sql Developer.
My best suggestion is to download the current version and see if you still have the problem. There have been HUNDREDS of bug fixes since that version you are using.
Oracle SQL Developer Downloads
Take note that the current version REQUIRES a much higher JDK version than what you may be using. And do NOT try to install the new version on top of the old one.
Install the new version into a totally new folder. You will be ask if you want to import your settings from your current version.

Did you perhaps do a custom install? The DB software includes a version of sql developer and, by default, installs it in the sqldeveloper folder of the DB_HOME. Does that folder have sql developer in it?
I suggest that you NOT use the version of sql developer that ships with the database. That version will NOT be the current version.
Download the current version of SQL Developer, unzip it into a new folder and create a desktop icon for it.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html
The current version includes many, many bug fixes from that earlier DB version and you will have far fewer probems with it.
