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:

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 objects not showing DDL

Greetings! First time posting here on the Oracle forums, so hopefully I can be as specific as possible :)
I'm having an issue with displaying the SQL that makes up an object, specifically a VIEW.
Here is the scenario:
I log on as an IT user - WDSQUERY (this account can be used my multiple folks for querying in different schemas). I navigate down to other users and expand that node. I find the schema I want to use, ALCHEMY, and expand that node.
It now places me in the ALCHEMY realm we'll call it. I should be able to see all the different objects owned by this schema (assuming permissions are set up). I click on the 'VIEWS' node to expand all the view objects. I can see the data and columns. What I cannot see is the SQL that generates that view, and I have no idea why.
Co-worker of mine uses Toad, and he can do the exact same scenario (same user id, goes to same schema, etc.), however when he clicks on the 'Script' tab, it will generate the SQL that builds that view. Which leads me to believe this isn't a permission issue, because he's on the exact same user_ID.
Is there some option I don't have checked somewhere in SQL Developer? The current work around for this is that I simply query the DBA_VIEWS where owner = 'ALCHEMY', and then pull out the name/text of the view I want. But....still this is just one of those things I want to know why it isn't working.
Here are the little ORA codes I'm getting when trying to view the SQL code of the VIEW:
ORA-31603: object "PO_LINE" of type VIEW not found in schema "ALCHEMY"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 105
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 2806
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 4333
ORA-06512: at line 1
Any help would be GREATYLY appreciated!

Hi,
If you can see the objects in the 'Other Users' schema, then I would imagine your user_ID has the SELECT ANY DICTIONARY system privilege. Seeing the data and DDL requires additional privileges, however. I haven't looked deeply enough to be absolutely sure, but there are two or three methods that SQL Developer uses:
1) If you have SELECT ON <other user_ID>.<viewname> object privilege, then you can see both data and DDL.
2) Otherwise if you have EXECUTE ON DBMS_METADATA you can see the DDL (except it may depend on other privileges too(?)).
Sorry I don't have time to dig deeper into DBMS_METADATA. It works on some of my connection users but not others. And, of course, privileges like SELECT ON DBA_VIEWS always give one an unfair advantage.
Hope this helps,

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 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?

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 3.1 - 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 Developer 1.5 - Exporting Data

Hi,
I am using SQL Developer 1.5 and trying to run query and asving the data to to file but having following problems.
1) How to save data as pipe or other delimitted data in text file?
2) when i am saving as text file, its taking longer but when its done, it shows 0 kb.
Appreciated your help!

This issue has been fix in version 2.1 that is YET TO BE RELEASED. There are no known work arounds for this issue in 1.5.

BUG: SQL Developer 1.5.3 CSV export column order broken

There's a bug in the 1.5.3 release of SQL Developer regarding data export. This bug re-orders the column order in the data export to be alphabetically sorted. This produces mangled CSV files if used on a table or a view.
This is a critical bug to me since I need to produce lots of ad-hoc data CSV export files. I'm staying with SQL Developer 1.5.0.53 (53.38) for now as it doesn't have this problem.
This is the same bug as present in Jdeveloper 11.1 as described in my post here: BUG: Jdev 11.1.1.0.0 -- DB table data export column order is not preserved
Quoted from that post:
When I connect to Oracle database, get the table list, right click on the table and select 'Export Data'->csv. The dialog box opens with three tabs: Format, Columns, Where. The column order displayed in both tabs Columns and Where is alphabetic. Because alphabetic ordering re-arranges columns from their initial ordering in the table, this screws up CSV export because columns are not in their intended order. This same problem occurs when I try to export data from views to generate a CSV file with a particular column order.
Please open/check bug report if it's already open.
Thanks!

This happens with all of the export options for tables or views if you right click from the connections tab table list. If I pull it up in the main window and go to the data tab, I can then right click and it will keep the column id order for some of the views and tables. But not all.
I am running 1.5.3 Build Main 5783 on a Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 platform

How to see data modeller reports in sql developer?

How to see data modeller reports in sql developer?

1) export your design to existing schema in Oracle database
2) define connection to that schema in SQL Developer
3) find "Data Modeler Reports" in reports window of SQL Developer - probably "design rules" are more interesting here

Just downloaded SQL Developer today, need help copy data

How do I import data from Oracle XE to an Oracle server by using SQL Developer?

Probably a better option would be use the export and import utilities provided with the database.
From within SQL*Developer you can export data as either a csv file (and then use sql*loader to load it), or as insert statements which you can run in in either sql*developer or sql*plus.
To export data in sql*developer, right-click on a table or a result set.

SQL Developer export forgot to check to include semicolons in DDL

Hi,
I used the SQL Developers Export-function (select tables and right click on them, then select export) to backup tables.
However, I forgot to set the 'Abschlusszeichen' (sorry for the german). That apparently means my create table statements are not finished by an ';', and they sinmply don't execute using the @script.sql method, or the sql developers import-function.
One sql-file is 2 GB in size, so I currently have no idea how to edit it and add the semicolons manually. Is there any hope to rescue the data?
I'm running sql developer 3.2.20.09, oracle Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production as well as Windows 8.1
For clarification, this is how the create table part looks:
-- Datei erstellt -Montag-September-30-2013
-- DDL for Table ZZ_BEN_0
CREATE TABLE "PIERUSCHM"."ZZ_BEN_0"
   (    "BENUTZER_ID" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "NAME" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "GUELT_VON" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "GUELT_BIS" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "IST_KORREKTUR" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "IST_HALBTAGSKRAFT" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "LADE_DAT" DATE
-- DDL for Table ZZ_BEN_1
CREATE TABLE "PIERUSCHM"."ZZ_BEN_1"
   (    "BENUTZER_ID" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "NAME" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "GUELT_VON" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "GUELT_BIS" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "IST_KORREKTUR" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "IST_HALBTAGSKRAFT" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "LADE_DAT" DATE
-- DDL for Table ZZ_BEN_10

Also i'd like to add that the file begins with table definitions but then contains the actual (and randomly generated) data as well.
You still need to have the file regenerated or you should expect to have problems with ANY method you use to try to automatically 'fix' the problem.
1. No experienced developer that I have worked with would EVER try to execute such a monolithic script because there is virtually NO chance that a 2 GB script will EVER run successfully without an error of some sort. Objects have to be created in the proper order when dependencies exist between them. For example, you can't create an index if the table hasn't been created yet. There can even be circular references that will prevent all objects from being VALID even if they are created.
2. There is virtually NO chance that ANY method you use will put terminators in EXACTLY the right place without causing a problem of some sort.
3. When there is an error the script may continue to try to executed and that usually causes further errors. It also creates garbage objects that are not valid but will keep the script from working correctly the next time since the objects will already exist.
You need to create a SET of scripts that are of manageable size so that you can control the process of executing them in the proper order.
If you don't take the time to do that, up front, you are going to wasted a tremendous amount of time when the script fails trying to cut and paste the pieces you need out of that 'master' script.
There are NO SHORTCUTS: take the time to do it right the first time.

rasberry

Actually all tables were included and the Automatically Include Dependent Objects option was checked.
For an example, the first table exported A_EMIS_TOXIC_DTL had the following constraints:
FK_A_EMIS_TOXIC_DTL2HDR     Foreign_Key
NN_A_EMIS_TOXIC_DTL_ID     Check
PK_A_EMIS_TOXIC_DTL_ID     Primary_Key
The primary key constraint was included in the DDL but none of the others.

Statement terminator problems when exporting data with SQL Developer 3.2

I've ran across what appears to be a bug with SQL Developer 3.2.20.09. If someone can let me know if this is indeed a bug, or just something I need to configure differently, please let me know.
The problem is related to exporting a database as a SQL script, and terminator characters at the end of "create" statements, especially when columns have comments, and problems that occur when using SQLPlus to run the export script to create the tables. With the old SQL Developer 1.5.4, with the "Terminator" and "Pretty Print" options checked, statements like the following are generated:
-- DDL for Type NUM_ARRAY
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "NUM_ARRAY"
IS TABLE OF NUMBER(20)
-- DDL for Sequence MYTABLE_SEQ
CREATE SEQUENCE "MYTABLE_SEQ" MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 CACHE 20 NOORDER NOCYCLE ;
-- DDL for Table MYTABLE
CREATE TABLE "MYTABLE"
(     "MYTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" NUMBER,
     "COL3" NUMBER
-- DDL for Table ANOTHERTABLE
CREATE TABLE "ANOTHERTABLE"
(     "ANOTHERTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" VARCHAR2(1024),
     "COL3" VARCHAR2(1024)
COMMENT ON COLUMN "ANOTHERTABLE"."ANOTHERTABLE_ID" IS 'This is a comment.';
When I then run the script using SQLPlus, everything works fine. However, with SQL Developer 3.2.20.09, with the same options enabled, the same statements are generated like this:
-- DDL for Type NUM_ARRAY
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "NUM_ARRAY"
IS TABLE OF NUMBER(20)
-- DDL for Sequence MYTABLE_SEQ
CREATE SEQUENCE "MYTABLE_SEQ" MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 CACHE 20 NOORDER NOCYCLE ;
-- DDL for Table MYTABLE
CREATE TABLE "MYTABLE"
(     "MYTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" NUMBER,
     "COL3" NUMBER
-- DDL for Table ANOTHERTABLE
CREATE TABLE "ANOTHERTABLE"
(     "ANOTHERTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" VARCHAR2(1024),
     "COL3" VARCHAR2(1024)
COMMENT ON COLUMN "ANOTHERTABLE"."ANOTHERTABLE_ID" IS 'This is a comment.';
Notice all of the extra slashes in there. If a slash is not used as a statement terminator, SQLPlus treats slashes as a command to repeat the last SQL statement, which causes many errors about tables or sequences already existing. So, I tried removing the "Terminator" flag from the export options. This lead to statements that looked a bit more promising:
-- DDL for Type NUM_ARRAY
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "NUM_ARRAY"
IS TABLE OF NUMBER(20)
-- DDL for Sequence MYTABLE_SEQ
CREATE SEQUENCE "MYTABLE_SEQ" MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 CACHE 20 NOORDER NOCYCLE
-- DDL for Table MYTABLE
CREATE TABLE "MYTABLE"
(     "MYTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" NUMBER,
     "COL3" NUMBER
-- DDL for Table ANOTHERTABLE
CREATE TABLE "ANOTHERTABLE"
(     "ANOTHERTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" VARCHAR2(1024),
     "COL3" VARCHAR2(1024)
COMMENT ON COLUMN "ANOTHERTABLE"."ANOTHERTABLE_ID" IS 'This is a comment.'
The big problem, though, is in the statement for the table with a comment. Notice that there are two statements, but there is not a semicolon after either of them. This unfortunately causes the "COMMENT" statement to be appended to the "CREATE TABLE" statement before being executed, which causes the table to not be created (which causes even more errors later on when the script attempts to populate the table with data).
So, it would appear that this is a bug, but I'm not sure. Is there a way I can configure the export options to make SQL Developer export these statements like it used to in older versions?
Thanks,
-Bill

Import / Export MySQL database in SQL Developer

Hello,
I have version 3.1.2.704 of SQL Developer Data Modeler and version 3.2.09 of SQL Developer installed.
When I´m adding a new connection in SQL Developer, I can choose the MySQL tab an create a connection to a MySQL database.
The connection test was successful and I can see all tables.
I use the same JDBC driver for SQL Developer and SQL Developer Data Modeler (mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar).
But there are two problems.
1. First there is an problem when I want to import from a MySQL database (SQL Developer -> File -> DataModeler -> Import -> DataDictionary).
After choosing the MySQL connection and pressing the next button an error occurs: CONNECTION_TYPE
What is the reason?
2. In SQL Developer Data Modeler I have not the CONNECTION_TYPE problem. But when I want to export DDL, there is no MySQL type selectable, although there is working connection to the MySQL Database. It´s the same in SQL Developer.
What is the reason?

Hi,
Please be aware that a separate forum for SQL Developer Data Modeler is available:
SQL Developer Data Modeler
You will likely get a more rapid response if you mark this thread as answered and re-post your question over there.
