SQL Developer can be used for database design

can I use SQL Developer to design the database?

It really depends on what you mean by "can," how complex the schema design is going to be, and your comfort level.
AB is quite right to point out Oracle Designer-- that's a very powerful, very visual tool for creating physical and logical schema designs. It also has a relatively steep learning curve and a relatively large installation footprint. If you need to generate highly complex schema designs, to allow multiple modelers to work together, and you will use the tool frequently enough to justify the training time, Designer is a wonderful tool.
On the other end of the spectrum, however, it's perfectly possible to generate a schema design using SQL*Plus or SQL Developer with a white board or scratch paper nearby to help think through various issues. The tools aren't presenting you with pretty ERDs, they're not automatically translating visual representations of designs to physical implementations, etc. but it's quite possible for a human using those tools to do the translation.
Either way will work-- the constraints of your particular project and your comfort level with various risks will determine which approach is more appropriate.

Which tool is used for database designing

Hi,
Can you please share which tool is used for database(Oracle) designing most
Thanks

But of course I realize that is not the way of a modern programmer :-)No, modern programmers rely less on the brain part.
I have heard other people saying that the (now free) [url http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/datamodeler/overview/index.html]SQL Developer Data Modeler is helpful for modelling. I haven't any personal experience, though.
I have used it to reverse engineer the design resulting from the brain / pen / paper / scripts process and produce pretty pictures for the modern programmers to try and understand. It works quite well for this.

SQL Developer can't connect Oracle Database as SYSDBA

Dear all,
Recently,I installed SQL Developer3.0 on my machine,and try to create connection to local oracle database.But one problem confused me.When i login as normal role ,it can connect DB successfully; when i login as sysdba role named sys,it always failed and show" invalid username/password".I am sure the username and password are right ,because i haved connected the oracle DB by pl/SQL with the same username and password. And i also choosed the role as sysdba. Does SQL Developer3.0 not support connect as sysdba? I would very appreciate if someone could give me a hand .Thanks in advance.

Hi 851634,
Do you require a password file for remote sysdba (old link)?
Cannot login as sysdba in Oracle Enterprise Management Console
You may be trying to log in (loopback) over the network as sysdba which needs a password file.

Can we use different Databases (Oracle & SQL Server) in one report?

Post Author: venki5star
CA Forum: .NET
Hi there.
Can we use different databases (Oracle & SQL Server) in a same report?
If possible how?
Another question,
Can we change the Provider Name at runtime of the given report. If so the above question is useless...
Thanks in Advance.

I tried this using Oracle Provider for OLEDB (the one that supplied by Oracle Client) and Crystal Reports 9. you can drag the column into designer but the image does not appear in preview.
I guess it's because CR does not recognized it as image, and there are no information that the blob data is an image at all.

Can I use Other database as the repository, Sybase/SQL Server? Urgent!!!

Hi all,
Can I use Other database as the repository, Sybase/SQL Server? Urgent!!!
And Can I use other database store business data and sync with lite?
Thanks ahead!!!

Jonathan,
No, it is not possible to use any other database than Oracle (8.1.7) or later .
Oracle Lite will only work with Oracle.

Can I use logical databases in a WebDynpro for ABAP program?

can I use logical databases in a WebDynpro ABAP program?
I need to build a WDA screen that is similar to the SAPDBPNP selection screen (user can find the personnel number based on several criteria, such as last_name/first_name of the employee). So it seems that the exisinting logical databases have already many nice features already built (like the selection screens, the logic behind the screens etc). So I was wondering if/how I can use them in my WDA application.

Hi
Please let me also know the solution to this. I am a beginner to WebDynpro and want to know if I can make use of LDB's as we do in our normal HR programming do develop a WDA in HR.
Thanks and regards,
Uma.

How can i use the amp designer or pedalboard for software instruments in garageband 10

how can i use the amp designer or pedalboard for software instruments in garageband 10?
and how can i customize the effects for the master track? in different factory presets are different effects, but how can i choose them manually?

i think the first thing to do would be to check with Mackie support. two things noted on Mackie's website:
DRIVERS::
No Driver Required for Supported Windows (PC) or OS X (Mac) Versions
(note "supported")
and
For the Mac::
Mac OS X 10.4.11 – 10.7.1
ask if their firmware currently supports OS X 10.9.x

How can I use two database in Dataset in SSRS?

Hi,
I am using one query to generate my SSRS report. In that query I am using subquery. Now I am pulling data from multiple tales.
DB used in sub query is different than the rest of the tables DB.(So total I am using 2 DB(Database))
So I see that in SSRS, I can connect query(In DataSet Properties) to one DATA_SOURCE only, how can I use other database which is I used in sub-query?
I have to move this SSRS into PROD and I can't hard code that sub-query's DB name in my query.
Please give me suggestion. Thanks!!
Vicky

In SSRS 2008 R2 you can use the Lookup function (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210531.aspx ) and LookupSet function (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee240819.aspx
Depending on your security set up, you can reference a table in a second database on the same server using a three part name: database.schema.table. This is more likely to work for you if you wrap your SQL command in a stored procedure.

Can i use single database connection in a hole java application?

can i use single database connection in a hole java application?.I have so many forms to use database connection.

Theoretically you can. Not only theoretically. I've seen lots of application which only uses one database connection (they were using, oracle or mysql)
The first reply given here assumed that the answer to
your question depends only on the design of your
application. That is not true.Yes it's true. Nothing in the original questions says that you aren't allowed to open or close the single connection that you have. It's looks more like the OP is interested in sharing a connection (i.e having a singleton or a connection pool with only one connection)
It does also depend on the behaviour of the database
in the background.
Most databases have a time out for connections that
are idle Not a problem. Most implementations of connection pools and applications which keeps a connection open have a timer which calls e.g. select * from dual (if you are using oracle) when the connection has been idle for X minutes.
(some, like db2 on z/OS, even cancel
connections, that are not idle, if they are open a
certain amount of time or have reached a given limit
of cpu seconds.)You would also have that problem if you had a connection pool with several connections.
In essence: If you have no control over the time
your application runs (and therefore your connection
is open) or over type or the configuration of the
database you are accessing, you can't do it.See above.
The closest thing to what you want would be using
PooledConnections, iif those are supported for the
database you want to access.Not true.

SQL Developer - mapping column names for csv import

In Apex I can do a spreadsheet upload to an existing table and it asks me to map source data to existing table, and it usually has the columns correct. I don't know if it imports them in order or what(first column name in table maps to first column in csv file, etc). SQL Developer makes me choose the mappings myself - it doesn't attempt to do a mapping at all, and some of my fieldnames are exactly the same. Am I missing something? Is there a way to get SQL Developer to try to do the mapping for me?
Note: in apex and sql dev, you should use csv only... they let you choose xls, but xls fails in both products every time.

So I guess SQL developer can't do this?

What brands and type can I use for my iMac 20" internal Hard Drive?

what brands and type can I use for my iMac 20" aluminium internal Hard Drive?
can I use WD caviar black?
is it too hot?

If you are replacing the drive because the existing one is faulty, that's one thing. If you just want more space, you should take advantage of having a decently fast and relatively small capacity drive in there now (instead of a huge drive). Get an external FireWire drive and off-load most of your user data there. Make your internal drive dedicated to mostly your OS and app files, with plenty of free space. That setup will make your iMac run more efficiently. I won't go into more detail, because I'm not answered your specific question... You can post back with any questions, if interested...
To answer your questions...
You should be able to use any SATA 3.5-inch drive internally, but you should probably keep it at or under 1TB. The main concerns are power usage and heat dissipation. A drive like the WD Caviar Green would be ideal in terms of power and heat, but they do have slower (or variable) spin rate. I have one as an external drive (750GB) and it is amazingly quiet and cool. If I had to replace the internal drive because the current drive failed, I'd put it inside. I'll trade a bit of pure performance for the efficiency (including low noise), and these drives are more advanced with higher data density and larger cache, so the trade-off from slower spin rate may not be so bad.
You can check your current drive's model number (which is shown in System Profiler) to get the specs online. The stock drive in my old +Late 2006+ iMac is a 7200 RPM drive. The Caviar Black is a 7200 RPM drive, with a newer design. So if you want to use a Caviar Black in there, I think it would be OK.

No they cannot send you a document that is available only to those with access to MOS.
That would violate the conditions of having such service contract credentials.
Asking someone to violate such privileges is a serious offense and could get that other person's organization banned from all support and all their support contracts cancelled.

I have not a clue about FoxPro, but the db then is FoxPro and not Unix. The better question would be "How do I connect to FoxPro DB running on Unix with JDBC?".
My answer to that would be, search the Internet for a JDBC driver.

Someday - and no one knows when that day will come - maybe all applications will be able to take advantage of the Retina display. But for the present, not many do: including all Adobe applications. There was a demo of Photoshop at the Apple World Wide Developers Conference of Photoshop running at native Retina resolutions but no one at Adobe in marketing is saying when, if or how the upgrade may be coming. It could be a week, it could be a year, it could be 2-3 years. No one knows. And only Apple app's (for the main part) are really utilizing the native Retina display.
I've seen some demos of some applications (Apple's) that take advantage of the Retina display and they're awesome. But in actually working in the here-and-now I've heard quite a few gripes, particularly on the Photoshop forum, of menus looking pixelated and/or 'blurry' so I'm not quite ready to jump into the Retina display boat just now. Don't get me wrong - others have ad are very, very pleased with their selection. But until Retina displays are available on larger monitors, the maximum work area that you're going to be able to use is 15" - and that's simply not enough room for full-blown graphic design. Then there's the cost factor - for the $4,000+ you spend for a completely full-blown Retina kit, you can get a standard MacBook Pro, 16 GB of RAM, a fast SSD and even the Apple Thunderbolt Display for the same amount.
The standard MacBook Pro isn't better than the Retina display: it's just different. And I think (and this is only my opinion - other graphic designers should feel free to jump in here) that it's the best computer that you can get for your specific purposes. And, towards that goal, I have to recommend a very good external monitor (there's nothing more annoying than having to use InDesign in a single-page mode rather than side-by-side because your monitor isn't big enough).
Remember that this is only my opinion and that others might jump in with their own. But I was in the electronic pre-press business for more years than I care to admit and we always - always - worked with at least 19" monitors (and that's back when dinosaurs actually ruled the world).
I hope that others will jump in with their comments. I'm going to follow this thread and see!
Good luck,
Clinton
