SQL Developer and Windows XP Profile space

I work in a secure environment where my laptop is fairly tightly controlled. In particular all laptop users are restricted to a Windows user profile space of 20Mb. This is space in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data. This is to stop people building up huge profiles that take an age to download and synchronise with the logon servers.
SQL Developer writes stuff in this directory (as does the Data Modeler and JDeveloper). In particular windowinglayout.xml is growing and is now 1Mb in size. I am running out of space in my profile and it will not be long before I am at my limit. The size of the file seems mostly to be down to the content of the element /LayoutInfo/clientLayoutData/global/view-data which has grown enormous. Much of the content seems to relate to connections and folders and I have tried to delete some connections but that seems not to have made any difference to the size of the file.
Can the content of this file be controlled? Is it possible to relocate these files somewhere else so that they don't cause me a problem? Are there other possible solutions?
Thanks in anticipation.
Andrew

Marvellous K, thanks for that. Not only have I done that for SQL Developer but also managed to work out the appropriate files to amend for JDeveloper and SQL Developer Data Modeler. My profile now has a whole 5.5Mb free and my laptop is a happy bunny again.
Combined with finding where my new 11g database laptop installation has squirrelled away it's alert log I think that's enough productivity for one day; my work here is done.

Trouble installing/using SQL Developer on Windows 2008 R2

I need help installing sql developer.
I am running Windows 2008 R2.
I tried installing the 64 bit version, and when it asked for the path to the JDK, it complains that it doesn't exists. Can someone PLEASE point me to which JDK I need to install?
I tried installing the 32 bit versionand it installs fine, but then gives me the error that it can't load AMD 64-bit dll on a IA 32 bit platform.
PLEASE HELP. How can I run SQL Developer on Windows 2008 R2?
Links to the exact versions of what to install would be very very helpful.
Thank you!

The versions required are in the release notes.
If you install the 64-bit SQLDeveloper you need a 64-bit JDK.
If you install the 32-bit SQLDeveloper you need a 32-bit JDK.
If your operating is 32-bit, you need a 32-bit SQLDeveloper.
Note that you need a JDK not a JRE

Sql developer query window corrupting on scroll

Hi there
I have a weird error - when I scroll in my SQL developer query window (tab) the text corrupts and only comes back if I click in the window somewhere or save. Has anyone else seen this? I'm on version 1.5.5 and don't really want to upgrade to the latest as I don't like the new layout (no dbmsoutput etc in the results window)
Cheers, Kate

sorted it by adding a line AddVMOption -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true to the sqldeveloper.conf file, as per thread SQL Editor not refreshing after scroll on Windows Vista

Installing SQL developer on windows 7

Hi all,
Please has anybody successfully installed Oracle SQL developer on windows 7 (64 bit system)? I have been trying to do that for some time now but it has not worked out? I even downloaded the beta version of JDK i.e. JDK version 7 on advice from a google user. Here, there was an instruction that I need to change the file to make it executable which I don't know how to do. Can someone help me out here?

Hi,
I have also installed on windows 7 but the screen refresh rate is pretty bad.
By this I mean have a lot of SQL in the SQL editor and scrolling up and down in the box. We use this as a development tool and it is stopping the roll out of Windows 7 to the development team.
Is there a work around to this or is anyone else experiencing this problem. ?
By the way Java version is
java version "1.6.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
Any help appreciated.

View jobs with SQL Developer and export to file with delimiter

Hi,
is there a way to view, create and alter my database jobs with SQL developer?
And is it possible to export tables, views or simple queries to file delimited different from the CSV standard?
Diego.

Hi and Welcome to the Forum!!
To select data from a table or a view you must use the SELECT sql command. Example to get the data from your view you can
select ZMATNUM,ZMATCUR,ZMATATTR from ZMATERIALAs you have said you are using SQL Developer just execute the above query in your sql developer and it will show the data. Right click the grid and export the data to excel file.

SQL Developer and Blocking View of Other Users' Objects

I am using SQL Developer in a classroom environment. My student users can “see” Other Users objects. They cannot modify, but none the less can see the structure and data.
I only want the users to be able to see their own objects. Is there a privilege that needs to be revoked? (In using SQL Plus command line, this was not a problem.)
Thanks.
-Karen

Karen,
From sysdba account (sys/system). Run following and verify for that particular user grant is revoked. May be exit from sql developer and log back in or refresh view.
YOu can also potenially revoke all the privs from all non admin uses i.e.r even connect/resource roles and grant them back.
revoke select any table from yourschemaname;
revoke connect from schemaname;
revoke create session from schemaname;
revoke resource from schemaname;
Then just grant privs as need basis
grant connect to schemanme;
grant resource to schemaname;
grant create session to schemaname;
..Regards

Links for SQL Developer and Data Modeler not working?

Hi folks,
I tried to access the new SQL Developer and Data Modeler links posted in the April 1 message (and on the Oracle site) from a couple of machines with no luck (empty zip files) - is there an update to the links?
Thanks!
Tomo

In Firefox zero length zip. In IE loses connection to downloads.oracle.com.

Install Oracle XE, SQL Developer, and Toad on the same machine?

I have been trying to install Oracle SQL Developer, Toad, and Oracle Express on my work computer. Installing SQL Developer and Toad was pretty straightforward, and I was able to browse the XE database with SQL Developer. But after installing Toad, problems started. Toad was using Oracle XE's registry settings to locate ORACLE_HOME and oci.dll. So I tried changing the settings for Oracle XE in the registry. Toad now works, but not Oracle XE. And while I was going through this all, I even had a time when I had Toad and oracle xe working, but not SQL Developer. It almost looks like you can choose two of the products, but not all three.
So, my question to the community at large is "Can it be done?". In what directories do you have each product installed? What environment variables do you have set? Where is your tnsnames.ora? What Oracle registry settings do you have set (namely HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE)?
I can post my current settings, but I've been through so many iterations that these current settings don't really matter that much.
Here are the details I am looking for
Path to sqldeveloper.exe
Path to oracle.exe (for Oracle XE)
Environment Variables
ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_BASE
TNS_ADMIN
PATH (just the oracle stuff)
Registry Settings
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\ORACLE_HOME
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\ORACLE_BASE
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\TNS_ADMIN
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\OLEDB
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\ORAMTS_CP_TRACE_DIR

I don't use toad, but there should be no reason why you can't install all 3. SQL Developer is a very clean install and affects nothing else. It doesn't add to the path, or create any registry entries except for file associations.
A toad installation should pick up your oracle client (in this case the XE code). I am curious as to why you felt you had to change registry settings. What problem were you trying to fix?
My recommendation would be to uninstall everything, clean the registry and reinstall in the order XE, Toad, SQL Developer. Test in between installations and seek help for problems as you find them. Bear in mind that this is the forum for SQL Developer. QUestions about Oracle XE would be better answered in the dedicated forum, or in the Installation forum, and questions about Toad in a toad forum.

Sql Developer and Data Guard enabled instance

I have version 1.1.2.25 SQL Developer and when I try to connect to Oracle 10gR2 instance which is data guard enabled and its logical standby it spits few message, and then connects, but data is not visible from any table.
Is there any way to see data and other code while in logical standby instance which only in read only mode?
Thanks.

This problem came when I tried to connect to Oracle
instance which is a logical standby in data guard
setup. Eventually connection is made and then you can
not see any object.
In logical standby database its suppose to be read
only and should be available for query.
In TOAD you can see every thing and when you want to
make any change ,it spits an error and wouldn't allow
you to make any change.
My question was, why SQL Developer is not showing the
objects in the list and its contains.Perhaps we could help you if you told us what the error was.

satish.pWith the caveat (as already pointed out by Srini in this thread) that no Oracle product has ever been certified on any "home" edition of any version of Oracle ...
If I were looking to download any product, I'd start by going to that company's web site (like, www.oracle.com) and look for a tab or link called "download". I'll bet if you did that, you'd find all sorts of goodies.
But, again, since you are dealing with a "home" edition of Windows, you'll need to start by installing a virtual machine product -- VM Ware's "VMworkstation" or "VMplayer", or Oracle's VirtualBox. Then you can create a virtual machine running a supported OS. Oracle's own Linux (derived from Red Hat Linux) is also free.

SQL Developer and Linux, Windows

SQL Developer it is established on linux Fedora 8, a database on Windows NT.
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.CL8MSWIN1251
I Carry out " Save Package Spec and Body " with parameter File Encoding cp1251 but when I carry out this script in a DB instead of Russian letters I receive signs on a question (?????). And in notepad Win also questions.
what I incorrectly do??????

Hi Gooddy,
I exported Cyrillic comment fine as UTF8 and my database is ALU32UTF8 is utf8 an option?
It is unclear where the corruption is.
-You have saved a package to the database with Cyrillic in it.
Can you retrieve the package on screen with no '????'? i..e is it successfully in the database?
-Can you export the Cyrillic package using utf-8?
-Can you export the Cyrillic package using cp1251?

Windows7 Beta - SQL Developer causes Windows themes to be disabled

If there is already a solution to this issue, I'd love to hear about it.
When I start SQL Developer on Windows7 Beta x64, I get a notice that:
A program that you're running is incompatible with the Windows 7 themes. When this happens, some visual elements are automatically turned off. When the program is no longer running, the visual elements that were turned off are turned on again automatically.
The windows "themes" is the aero interface - I'm not sure if this is an issue with Vista or not (it has an aero interface too), I gave up on Vista almost immediately and have been running either XP (with no problems) or Windows7 Beta (only minor glitches).
Does anyone know if there a Java or other setting that addresses this issue?

Go to <sqldev install dir>\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf and add the following line:
AddVMOption -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true
I recommend you dont change the theme from the default to something else like Windows, lots of graphical glitches/exceptions
Hope that helps.

SQL Developer and Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, Connection Problem

I am using SQL Developer version 1.2.1 and am connecting to a 10g database on a windows xp.
Up until today there have been no problems with the connection. When I tried to connect to the database and have not been able to.
The error states that "...listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA-12505, TNS; listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor..."
Also tried to log into the database home page but page doesn't load...

I'd bet the database is down.
Try a login through sqlplus ("Run SQL Command Line" in the Oracle Express Edition 'Start' menu).
Do a CONN / AS SYSDBA
If you get a message about database or memory area not available, try STARTUP.
If that doesn't work, you are best off in the General Database forum or the Express Edition forum.
You'll probably get the most expert response in General Database, but the Express Edition forum can be gentler on newbies (as it is more accepted that questioners are not and do not have access to full-time DBAs).

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.
