Sql developer database diff - generate script not working

Question

Using SQL devleloper 2.1. Database diff generate script gives errors making it completely non-usable
ORA-31600: invalid input value 0 for parameter SEGMENT_ATTRIBUTES in function SET_TRANSFORM_PARAM
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 105
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA_INT", line 8150
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA_INT", line 9270
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 4757
ORA-06512: at line 1
and
Illegal Lock State: executeOracleQuery requires connection lock to be held. oracle.dbtools.raptor.diff.oracle.table.DiffTableRefConstraints.setup(DiffTableRefConstraints.java:215) called oracle.dbtools.db.DBUtil.executeQuery(DBUtil.java:681) without it
I do get the differences visually (yes, I am bugged that constraints are not smart enough to compare on content of the constraint....problem when the contstraint names are sys-nnnnnn generated). Just cannot create the script.
Any ideas to solve this issue? Thanks in advance, Kelly

Answer 1

Can reproduce same issue in 11gR1.. DIFF works fine in 10gR2.
I noticed that 10gR2 allows something like:
DBMS_METADATA.SET_TRANSFORM_PARAM(th,'SEGMENT_ATTRIBUTES',0);
and 11GR2 returns error similar to error SQLNAVIGATOR returns while running diff:
DBMS_METADATA.SET_TRANSFORM_PARAM(th,'SEGMENT_ATTRIBUTES',0);
end;
Error report:
ORA-31600: invalid input value 0 for parameter SEGMENT_ATTRIBUTES in function SET_TRANSFORM_PARAM
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 105
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA_INT", line 8424
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA_INT", line 9484
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 3950
Its safe to assume that this is SQLDEVELOPER bug. Hope it will be addressed sometime.
