SQL Developer 3.x Disconnection Problem

We are running SQL Developer 3.1 on Windows 7 64 and connecting to a 11.2.0.3 database.
The user's can connect fine, then they can click through and see their tables. Once they click on the tables to see the columns or data, we immediately get disconnected.
We have 1 user still using SQL Developer 2.x and seems to have no problems. We were using 3.0 and couldn't get past connecting. We would click to see a list of the user's tables and would get disconnected then. Now by moving to 3.1 we at least can listing of the views, tables, etc but once we try to click deeper, we get the disconnect.
Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the valuable feedback. You said...
What ultimately fixed it for us was switching the DB to DEDICATED from SHARED.A close read of the full thread I referenced above (both in John's comments and the comments of others) does point to the use of shared connections as a risk factor in triggering this low-level TCP bug. Actually even if the DB is configured for shared connections, a user relying on the SQL Developer connection type=TNS (as opposed to, say, Basic), could override the shared connection usage by specifying SERVER=DEDICATED in his tnsnames.ora file.
Some other comments...
1. Out of Band break support in JDBC began with the drivers shipped with Oracle 11g (ojdbc5.jar for 11.1.0.6, ojdbc6.jar for 11.2.0.2).
2. SQL Developer 2.1 ships with ojdbc5.jar, whereas the 3.x releases ship with ojdbc6.jar. These jars are used if no Oracle client is present.
3. If the Oracle client's ORACLE_HOME jdbc\lib contains both ojdbc5 and ojdbc6, a 3.x install may incorrectly use ojdbc5.
4. Out of Band break failures are more common on Windows platforms.
5. Out of Band break failures are more common, per the forum posts and bugs I have reviewed, when using ojdbc6.
Presumably there are timing issues when the ratio of connections to shared server processes is too high. If use of DEDICATED is not feasible, possibly lowering that ratio may help.

Gary

SQL Developer 1.5 having problems with JDK 6 Update 7

I tried to open a table using SQL Developer 1.5 but connection timed out. when using SQL developer 1.2 i don't get any problems opening it.
i have JDK 6 update 7 installed.
the only problem with SQL Developer 1.2 is that i get a jdbc in the error log
how do i get to fix the SQL Developer 1.5?

--The sql developer is connected using tnsnames.ora, with read only access
--i'm using windows XP SP3
--I have jdk 6 update 7 installed
--The tables that I can't View is listed under Other Users.
--I thought it was just because i have no permission to view it, but when i used the old sql developer 1.2, it displayed it properly.
--The reason i want to use SQL developer 1.5 is because i don't want to see any JDBC error on log messages, which happens on the sql developer 1.2
--i dont get to see any errors, sql developer suddenly can't view and lost the connection. it says connection is currently busy. and suddenly stops responding, the only way i can get it working again is by using the taskbar, when it close the program it gets java is not responding..
--also when i try running sqlcli.bat i get error with it.. is it because of my java?
--What more details do you need?

Sql developer UTF-8 display problems

Hi
I use a development tool that is supposed to allow utf-8 encoding. If you enter text 'ABCDÉFGH' (É is ctrl alt E) through the software it is written to a VARCHAR2 value. When you look at the value using SQL Developer or (Congnos Impromptu) this value is displayed as ABCDÃFGH.
Should Sql Developer convert Ã to É when displaying the value. Or is the problem with the development tool where it is not writing the value to the table correctly.

SQL Developer and Java GUI problems

I am having a problem with all the java apps i use, including Oracle SQL Developer. When i load up SQL developer, the top of the "Connections" text is chopped off as well as all the table names in the list when I make a connection. Also the java buttons are rather large. Almost as if they have a carriage return in the text of the button.
Its seems the gui configuration for java has been corrupted, but i cannot find where to modify those settings. I cant find anything on the internet on this. I have checked my video card settings and modified them to see if that is the issue, but it doesnt fix the problem.
Since other java apps do the same thing, I know its a java issue, but Ive uninstalled all the JRE's and JDKs i have and reinstalled them, and I still have the problem.
Im on an Windows XP box and running the JDK and JRE 1.5.0_09 versions. Any help would be appreciated. its very annoying to not be able to read some of the text in the java apps including sql developer due to the tops being cut off.
I have an ATI RADEON 7000 on an DELL optiplex gx620.
any help would be appreciated

The first thing to try, if you haven't already, is to update your video driver.

SQL developer some minor anoying problems.

Hello,
can someone please explain to me why i have this problems in SQL developer.
First problem is with search db objects.
When i type in search string and i tick all objects all shemas it starts search ... finds nothing
because search changes "search in all schemas" to "search only under connected user".
Then i have to manually select all schemas and run search again and then it searches under all schemas.
http://s29.postimg.org/p2vdaqxs7/shema_search.jpg
Second problem is (i dont know if this is intended or not) that if i mix upercase letters in search string
with lower case it wont find anything.
http://s21.postimg.org/ke3k8icpz/found_nothing.jpg
Third problem is when search finds something and i click on a table for example from found resoults
it always opens up 2 tables (with same name) and again i have to manually close one of them.
http://s12.postimg.org/s7fwmd1hp/two_tables.jpg
4th problem is speed is there a way to really optimize SQL developer for speed. By that i mean
that finding db objects forks really fast ... switching between tables and stuff like that?
Is there a guide of settings that explains stuff like that?
At each problem i have posted a screen shot for better understanding.
I hope someone will try to help me solve those anoying problems.
Thank you!
PS my sql developer version is 4.1.0.17 problems like these started in 3.x version already.

SQL Developer 1.5 Connection Problems

Unable to connect to my localhost installation of Oracle 11G in Windows XP environment
SQLPLUS connections look just fine.
I went out to the windows registry to verify the Oracle SID.
The environment ORADLE_SID is set to 'orcl'
I have tried logging in as HR and as SYS. Both work in SQLPLUS. Neither work in Sql Developer.
The connection settings I am using are as follows:
User Name: HR
Password: HR
Oracle Tab Settings:
Role: default
Connection type: basic
OS Authentication: unchecked
Proxy Connection: unchecked
Hostname: localhost
Port: 1521
SID: orcl
Really appreciate your assistance.
Thanks,
Kent

Kent,
Does Oracle monitor this? Yup - I am PM for SQL Developer and various team members, like Turloch, also monitor the forum.
We use thin or thick JDBC drivers to connect to the Oracle Database from SQL Developer, Turloch was trying alternatives. You should be able to connect using the thin JDBC driver, not using tns. (Basic Connection)
When you try the Basic connection, please can you ensure that the Preference (Tools -> Preferences -> Database- Advanced Parameters) "use OCI/Thick driver" is not selected.
Instead of localhost, can you insert the IP address of your machine?
I have one other question - when you installed SQl Developer 1.5, did you install it into a new empty directory?
Finally, if you have a support contract for the Database, you can contact Metalink and open a SR. There you should be able to track your progress and they can help you get connected.

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.

How to get all tables in oracle sql developer with MS SQLServer

Hi All,
I am using microsoft SQL server 2000. For displaying the tables and other stuff i am using oracle SQL developer tool. The problem is when i connect to sql developer with oracle database i can see all the tables in that database. But when i connect to MS SQL server database it is not showing all the tables in that database. I don't know why?.
i tried doing the samething using another tool called Aqua Data Studio , there i can able to see all the tables in microsoft SQL server 2000.
do you have any knowledge regarding this, why i am not getting all the tables in oracle sql developer when i connect to microsoft SQL server 2000.

Same issue here. Haven't found the answer yet..

SQL Developer not fetching data tables while writting query

HI , I have recently started using SQL developer 2.1, the problem i face is that SQL DEVELOPER is not showing the tables names while writting the query, we have more than 5000 tables and each table name cannot be remembered.
Thanks
Essa

I'm using the Mac version of SQL Developer (Version 2.1.1.64 | Build MAIN-64.45) and I'm having similar problems. I'm currently using OS X Snow Leopard.
The issue does not happen consistently: If I start writing an anonymous block in a new SQL window, the Completion Insight features works well. I can start typing a name of a package (of which there are many in our db) and I'm quickly provided a list matching what I've typed so far. This is also true of variables, functions and procedures within the packages after I type a period following the package name.
However, if I open an existing package body and start editing, the Completion Insight feature becomes less reliable. If I move my cursor to the beginning of the main block of one of the package body's internal procedures, Completion Insight works. As I move down the package and try to insert new code, Completion Insight stops working. I should note that this package body I'm working with has no errors and compiles fine. I'm not sure what this indicates...whether it's an issue with the editors internal parser or some other issue.
I'm not sure the best method for starting SQL Developer via the console window on the Mac. I found the following sh file which does launch it from terminal:
/Applications/SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/MacOS/sqldeveloper.sh
This does launch the application. As I navigate around and follow the instructions you had given (including ctrl-space) I see no output generated out to the console (errors or other messages).
I'm happy to assist in further debugging. Having Completion Insight work consistently will certainly increase my productivity with the tool.
Thanks in advance for any help you may provide.

SQL Developer - cannot query collections

Hi,
I have a problem with my SQL Developer that cannot query on objects with collections. I get the same error when trying to query these DB objects.
Error starting at line 1 in command:

Error report:
SQL Error: Fail to construct descriptor: Unable to resolve type "OE.CUST_ADDRESS_TYP"
However when I am using PL/SQL Developer I have no problem to access the objects.

Please let mw know how to fix it.
Thanks in advance.

SQL Developer on Linux hangs when disconnecting after VPN reconnect

Hello,
I have a problem with using connections after general link failure (Cisco VPN disconnect in my case, lost of route to Oracle DB).
When I reconnect to a VPN and I'll try to disconnect from a previously opened (before general link failure) connection, I need
to wait more than 10 minutes to complete this process. SQL Developer is completely unusable during this time.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect to VPN
2. Open connection in SQL Developer to host accessible only by this VPN
3. Restart VPN
4. Try to do anything with this connection (disconnect, execute sql in opened SQL Worksheet, view tables, etc.)
This bug is not new in recent versions, I'm using SQL Developer from over 2 years and this bug was always with me. But if I remember correctly in earlier versions (<3.0) I couldn't reuse the connection to execute sql (hanging SQL Developer for more than 10 minutes) but disconnecting would succeed without a problem.
Maybe SQL Developer should move connection management to separate thread to resolve this issue... or is there another solution?
I'm using SQL Developer 3.1.07.42 @ Linux 3.0.4
For VPN connectivity I use vpnc
When I restart VPN connection I'm loosing TUN interface and all routes.
I have tested this issue on a few versions of SQL Developer on Windows XP, including 3.1.07. There is no problem with disconnecting after vpn failure on Windows.
Maybe I should fill some bug report? When I can do such thing? Metalink?
Best regards,
Irek Slonina

Hi Irek,
Possibly you can resolve this issue by altering the type of the connection that becomes non-responsive upon a VPN reconnect. What type are you currently using: Basic, TNS, etc?
In this forum thread (for Windows, unfortunately, not Linux), although different from your case, the solution used Thick/OCI driver, not Thin/Basic:
Windows 7 VPN
I have no VPN client on Linux (much less vpnc), only Cisco AnyConnect on Win XP, so I cannot test your scenario.

Gary

    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = FCC003L)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
)and you will note the XE on the left side of the equal sign (which is a network alias), and one XE in the (SERVICE_NAME = XE) line. On YOUR system, the XE should be replaced by whatever you called your database (often 'orcl'). REMEMBER THIS ALIAS;-) and also make note of the host that your entry uses. If your host name changes because of DHCP, you're hooped (for a while).
If the database is registered (shows up in the list), the next step is to make sure a userid is available. You could use 'system' (try to avoid using SYS since it is the master userid and if you mess that up, you mess up all your homework. In a production encvironment, every access to SYS will be audited.
So, let's create a userid called me with (in 11g case sensitive) password 'myself'. Make sure that user is allow to log in (create session) and create a table.

If it did not work, try dropping the "@XE" to see whether you can get in (using the bequeath connection) which is useful for troubleshooting but will not help with the traditional SQLDeveloper connection. If you get in without the @XE (or whatever your alias is) but not with it, most likely either your listener is not up or your firewall is blocking the access to the listener.

Why does SQL Developer sometimes not allow me to "Disconnect"?

Sometimes when I'm ready to close SQL Developer, I try to get out gracefully, but the "Disconnect" option for the only connection I have open is greyed out. Why? The only option I know then is to close SQL Developer by clicking the "x" in the upper, right corner.
My version of SQL Developer is a bit old: I have SQL Developer 2.1.0.63. We have an Oracle11.1.0.7 database. I have a 64-bit Windows7 desktop. I think my Java version is also a bit old, but it seems to be compatible with the EBS R12.0.6 application that I need to support. I'm not a Java expert. If I go to a C:\ prompt, and type: "java -version", It returns: "1.4.2_04".

Actually, I think the link Alessandro posted is helpful. I cannot reproduce the behavior on Win XP, but can on Linux (somewhat). That is, Properties gets greyed out at times, but not Disconnect or Apply Filter. Retrying the right-click resolves the problem, as he notes.
So I assume my point (1) would be more nearly correct if restated as "Bug or timing issue".
As for (3), I really cannot give a good example. If I open a Tool menu item like Monitor SQL or Monitor Sessions on, say, the SYSTEM user, the Disconnect option is not greyed out and if used will close all the open windows for that connection. If I run Debug on a package/procedure/function, Disconnect also remains enabled. Clicking on it produces a "Cannot Disconnect" dialog warning with this text: "The database connection cannot be closed while an active debugging session exists". Perhaps I'm mistaken entirely, or just confused after seeing that behavior on some older version of SQL Developer
