Sql Developer 3.1 - Exporting a result set in xls generates and empty file

Ever since upgrading to the Production version SQL Developer 3.1 (3.1.07) it appears that there is an issue when attempting to export a result set as a .xls format.
If I attempt to export in .xls format, the exported file is an empty file (i,e no output). When I change the export type to txt, csv or xlsx the results are exported as expected.
This appears to be a bug introduced in the Production version as I was successfully able to perform these tasks on the various 3.1 EA releases.
Am I alone in this, have I misconfigured something or is this a bug?

I keep having problems exporting to XLSX - mostly in cases where the data is voluminous and the format would be preferable over plain XLS as it does not have the 65krows limit ;-{ The data is read to the data grid (sometimes fast, sometimes much slower and "in chunks"), then the "task progress" won't move anymore, and the export file remains empty; If I cancel the task, trying to export again results in a message stating that sqldeveloper still has the output file locked.

SQL Server 2012: Import and Export Wizard - Exporting Multiple Result Sets at Once?

I'm working in SQL Server 2012 trying to export some data from our database into an Excel file. My SQL statement has two separate Select statements. They are not joined by a union. When I Execute them inside of SQL Server Management Studio, with Results
set to go to a Grid, I get two result sets back. Two full tables of data.
However, when I use the Import and Export Wizard, the Excel sheet only has the first set of data.
What do I need to do to have it so both result sets show up in the excel file?

Why cant use merge them using union/union all if intention is to get them to same sheet? Is it like the metadata is different so that they cant be merged to single sheet?
If that being the case you need to do it in two steps.

Getting message : The result set for this selection was empty on sm20

Hi,
   I assigned below parameters in rz10 :
rsau/user_selection                                 1
rsau/max_diskspace/per_day                  1950M

rsau/enable                                               1
   I activated security audit profile in sm19 also.But when iam going to sm20 for analysis of security audit log iam not getting report iam getting this message :     The result set for this selection was empty.
Gudie me for the same.
Thanku

Hi,
The result set for this selection was empty.
I think your configuration is OK except one thing...
Check in SM19, if you have selected "Filter Active" check box in "Filter 1 and Filter 2" screen and Also "Audit Classess".
Even though security audit is enabled in SM19, without selecting filter it will not log the events and give you the above message.

SQL Developer Hangs on Export

SQL Developer version 1.0.0.14.67
The application immediately freezes (so quickly, in fact, that it doesn’t even remove the context menu from which I have selected “Text” or “CSV”). I can still utilize the general windows controls (minimize/maximize, restore, etc). If I minimize and then restore the application it doesn’t redraw anything bit the title bar. The entire application window is system gray.
The data set I retrieved included 2,208 records with 14 elements each.
I tested it again with a slightly smaller data set (1,982 records) and this time I selected “Text” as the export format. Same result.
The application still shows as “Running” in Task Manager, but the process “sqldeveloperW.exe” shows “00” under CPU activity and never moves. I am experiencing nominal Memory and CPU utilization (other programs are still open). Nothing is pegged @ 100%.
I’ve let the application sit in this state for 10+ minutes with no change.

There have been several updates since 1.0.0.14.67. Could you upgrade to the latest version?

SPOOLing in sql developer does not take into consideration SET ECHO OFF

I'm running SQL Developer 3.1.07.42 on Windows 7 64 bit with java 1.7
I have the following very simple script just to show the problem:
SET ECHO OFF;
SET FEEDBACK OFF;
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
SET VERIFY OFF;
SET PAGES 0;
SET HEAD OFF;
SPOOL c:\test.sql
SELECT 1, 2, 3 FROM DUAL;
SPOOL OFF;
/if I run it in TOAD 10.6.0.42 it creates the file with
1 2 3This is as expected (by me)
if I run the exact same query in SQL Developer 3.1.07.42 , it creates the file with:
< SELECT 1, 2, 3 FROM DUAL
1 2 3(the < above is actually ">" but the CODE formatting software is screwing ">")
but I don't want the ECHOed command to be spooled. For the life of me, I cannot find a way to disable the ECHO from spooling in sql developer.
Tried the same in 3.0.4 and 2.1.1 with the same (bad) result (plus some warning on some of the unsupported SET commands).
Am I missing something obvious? Cause like this, the spool command cannot be used in sql developer to generate a CSV file for example, because of the echoed command. And windows doesn't come with SED by default so that is out. (plus that my original script is integrated into a much larger and complex set of scripts and the main script using them is executed from SQL Developer as a company policy (so that everybody uses the same tool and the code runs the same for everybody))
Any ideas/suggestions are welcome
Thanks.

Hi Gary, you seem to have some extensive knowledge. I'd like to follow-up on this thread and try to understand why SQL Developer won't hide the code even though I'm already running the code as a Worksheet (I assume you mean Run Script F5 button in SQL Developer).
I generally develop in SQL Developer that does a lot of dbms_output to echo data using a Spool command. When I'm in SQL Developer I can't get the code NOT to spool, it typically is echoed directly in the spool file at the top followed by the dbms_output data. If I save the sql file and run in in sqlplus it only outputs the data (good). If I use @C:\xyz_script.sql and hit F5 in SQL Developer it only outputs the data (per your previous answer) -- good.
So why can't I hit F5 in SQL Developer in the script file and have it only output the data? It just doesn't work no matter how many "SETs" you turn-off.
Looks like Echo, Term, Feed are supported in SQL Developer, maybe supported means something other than work.

Sql developer: question about exporting data

Hi,
we're recently working with sql-developer. i've got a question about how we can export query results to txt/csv files for use in other applications.
First a problem: if we start a query that looks like this:
select * from
select * from A where start_date = &date
) a,
select * from B where start_date = &date
) b
where a.name = b.name
Sql-developer asks twice to input a value for the variable 'date', although it's the same variable and it's supposed to have the same value.
We solve this by making a script:
first we define the variable, then we put the query.
When we start the script, the query runs ok and sql developer asks to input the value for the variable once.
But now the result of the query is shown in the script output. The script output seems to be limited in number of lines and difficult to export.
So my question is: what's the best way to export query results to txt/csv files, avoiding the problem mentioned above?
i hope there is a solution where we can use a single query or script.
Thanks in advance!

Using bind variables like ":date" should solve the problem of being asked twice for the same thing.
Executing the query normally (F9), gives you the export options you require through the context menu inside the Results grid.

K.

SQL Developer 3.0 EA1 - Query Result assumes keyboard focus

In the Early Adopter 1 release of SQL Developer and noticed that after running a statement in a worksheet the focus for the keyboard is now in the query results pane. This change in behavior from version 2 is slightly disruptive and makes it harder to iteratively build queries or search for data without having to continuously keep moving the cursor back to the worksheet. I am using the linux version if it makes a difference and it happens both when click the run statement button or use the ctrl+enter shortcut key.
I have been trying out the preview release and all around it looks good and has some very nice improvements. Just this and the missing export to clipboard are the only issues I've had so far.
Edited by: user5490329 on Oct 14, 2010 9:06 AM

I agree with the majority of people here that this is annoying and I'd also prefer to leave the input focus in the SQL Worksheet after I hit CTRL+ENTER, so I am looking forward to the fix.
However, in some cases, it would come in handy if there was a shortcut key to quickly get to the query result tab, just like in TOAD, where F6 is used for this purpose. The same key is reserved for autotrace in SQL Developer, so another function key could be used.

Exporting query result set into CSV file using Forms

Hi ,
My requirement is
-> I need to create a form where I have a Multi line text box and two button.
-> When I enter a query in text box and click on Execute button, It should execute a select query.
-> After execution, Result set needs to be exported into an Excel file.
Please give a hint how to do this????
Thanks,
maddy

as you are using text item to write SQL query by the user
so for that you need to use the exec_sql package to parse the text items query and get definitions and values of the columns being
resulted in the result set of the query.
once your query is execute to the desired connection then you need to use fetch the result to the CSV file by use of the TEXT_io package
which will open the text file with .csv extension and you have to pass the each line to that text file with comma separated values as "ss","rr" etc.
or you can use the ole2 package to call the excel application and then fetch the data of exe_sql query to that.

SQL Developer is not exporting the time part of date data types.

I need to export data from a table using sql developer. The column is a date data type but when I export the data to a csv, xls or an sql file with insert statements, sql developer only includes the date part without the time.
Please kindly advise.
Thanks,

SQL Developer 3.2 - Exporting data with TIMESTAMP datatype

Hi,
We have users that are attempting to export data with the Timestamp format to Excel (xls format) using SQL Developer 3.2. When attempting to sort the Timestamp in either asc or desc order, Excel is having issues sorting correctly. I suggested that the user just do all the sorting within their SQL Developer session but they require the ability to slice and dice in Excel.
This is definitely not an issue with Excel as the users have previously exported Timestamp data from Toad and been able to sort without issue. Any thoughts as to what might resolve this issue?
Thanks.

We're not formatting timestamps in Oracle as numbers/dates in Excel. They'll need to properly format the Excel column/cells to get it to sort the way they want vs being treated as simple strings.

SQL Developer 3.2 - Export DDL challenge

Hi,
I would like to Export DDL for approximately 300 of 1000 objects in a schema. I have the names of all required tables for which I'd like to get the DDL in a table in my personal schema. Is there a way that I can use this table as a driver for the built-in Export DDL utility or will I need to either go to the schema browser and hand-pick each of the 300 tables and/or from the Tools-Export DDL "Specify Objects" window?
I would like to make this more automated so that I dont have to keep clicking, scrolling, clicking my way through the list of required objects. Any thoughts are appreciated, thanks.

There is no way to use sql developer to do that.
You can:
1. do it manually as you suggest
2. do it manually by writing a script that makes the appropriate DBMS_METADATA calls
3. use expdp to extract the metadata and create a DDL file.
The full DDL for a table will include a lot of components that many people don't even want, for example storage clauses.
The bigger issue you should address is why you don't already have the DDL to begin with. Best practices are to create the DDL and keep it in a version control system; not extract it after the fact.
I suggest you use the EXPDP utility to extract the DDL into a file so that you have it for future use.
If you plan to write a script there are plenty of examples on the web that show how to do that. Here is one:

How do I create an Event Handler for an Execute SQL Task in SSIS if its result set is empty

So the precedence on my entire package executing is based on my first SELECT of my Table and an updatable column. If that SELECT results in an empty result set, how do I create an Event Handler to handle an empty result set?
A Newbie to SSIS.
I appreciate your review and am hopeful for a reply.
PSULionRP

Depends upon what you want to do in the eventhandler. this is what you can do
Store the result set from the Select to a user variable.
Pass this user variable to a Script task.
In the Script task do whatever you want to do including failing the package this can be done by failing the script task, which in turns fails the package. something like
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure

SQL Developer 1.5.4: "Keep alive" setting to keep connections open?

Is there any way to configure SQL Developer 1.5.4 such that it "pings" the server every now then to keep the connection open?
It's very frustrating to be working on a script, step away from it for a while, and have SQL Developer freeze when trying to execute the next SQL statement.
What can I do?
My workaround--execute a "dummy" SQL statement like "select * from dual;" every now and then to keep a connection open.
Thanks.
Dana

I have had this problem till I had a RAM upgrade.
Since I have had the upgrade JDeveloper also responds well.
A way to check is via task manager, if PF usage is more than you physical RAM size it is a indicator that you need more RAM or shut down some application that is hogging memory.
Just to rule out if its not some other problem, have you tried working in SQL Developer running by itself or with one other program.
