SQL Developer does not support Oracle 8i

Hi,
I was waiting a tool from Oracle like SQL Developer for a long time, finally it came, but I am a little disapointed, so Why SQL Developer does not support Oracle 8i? Other free tools like SQUIRREL can do it. I also have worked in previous projects using PL/SQL Developer and it works fine...Why a native Oracle tool can not do it?
I am in a project where we have to upgrade the Oracle database to a newer version, but I cannot have access to the old one...
I know there are some threads in this forum, and some people can work with 8i with no issues. Can anyone who works with SQL Developer and Oracle 8i please tell me how to do it?
Thanks,
--Javier

That's what I thought, the issue is more commercial ($$$) than technical. Anyway...I downloaded the version 1.1 but now I am getting an ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION error. 00604. 00000 "error occurred at recursive SQL level %s".

Oracle SQL Developer does not browse Sybase's objects

I had installed and configured jtds-1.2.5.jar in Oracle SQL Developer for Sysbase connection. Oracle SQL Developer does not browse any objects. Why? Can you please provide a solution?

Hi,
Can you provide some more information into what you are experiencing.
What version of SQL Developer are you using?
Did you install the jtds jar under the
Tools > Preferences > Database > Third Party JDBC Driver
Is the Sybase tab available in the new connection dialog?
Did you select the default database in the connection dialog?
Can you run a query against the Sybase database from the SQL Developer worksheet?
Note that JTDS 1.2 is the only supported version. There maybe issues with other versions.

Dermot.

Which sql developer version will support oracle 8.1.7

hi
which sql developer version will support oracle 8.1.7 or is it necessary to use plsql developer to connect to database (oracle 8.1.7)

Hi,
SQL Developer version 1.2.1 is able to connect to 8.1.7 with limited functionality (prepared reports and browser for objects could not work)..
Next version (tested with 3.2 64-bit) of SQL developer could be "hacked" to connect to 8.1.7 by simply copy file C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\jdbc\lib\classes12.zip from Oracle client prior 11
into appropriate jdk\jre\lib\ext folder.

TestStand Open SQL Statement does not support SQL's ORDER BY clause???

TestStand 1.0.3
Windows 2000 SP1
SQL Server 2000 Personal
You've got to be kidding me...
It appears that the built-in TestStand Open SQL Step does NOT support the
"ORDER BY" clause in the SELECT statement, even though the documentation
says it does. Is this true?
I have an Open SQL Statement query:
"SELECT * FROM [MyTable] WHERE ([Batch ID]=1234)"
it works fine, returning a correct record count 120 records. If I change
the Open SQL Statement query simply by adding an ORDER BY clause, such as:
"SELECT * FROM [MyTable] WHERE ([Batch ID]=1234) ORDER BY [MyField] ASC"
it returns a record count of zero. I know that "MyField" exists in the
MyTable table and contains valid data. The
second query works fine in SQL
Server Enterprise Manager.
Am I missing something? Is it true that the TestStand Open SQL Step does
NOT support the "ORDER BY" clause? If not, what &#$!ing good is it and why
does the manual state it is supported? Is there any other way using just
the TestStand steps to order a database recordset on one or more fields?
Any help would be appreciated.
Grrrrr....

I've been doing some experimenting over the past couple of days. Simple,
one-table queries seem to handle the ORDER BY clause fine. Th
ings seem to
get messed up when I try multi-table queries with ORDER BY clause with the
TestStand database steps. I get no errors but the returned record counts
are always 0 with the ORDER BY and positive without the ORDER BY. The exact
same queries work fine in Visual Basic/ADO and the SQL Server Query
Analyzer.
> Questions:
> 1. Have you verified whether the data is actually returned even though

Hmmm... yes data IS getting returned (at least on the two instances I just
checked), but the record count is always zero. I was not proceeding with
processing if the record count was 0.
Still... I don't know how to loop through the recordset without knowing how
many records there are an not eventually generate an error by passing EOF.
Is there another way using the TestStand database steps to determine a) the
number of records in the recordset or b) when I'm at EOF?

the cursor type set to forward only? Forward only

Everything on the Advanced tab of the Open SQL Statement step is set to "Use
Default".

SPOOLing in sql developer does not take into consideration SET ECHO OFF

I'm running SQL Developer 3.1.07.42 on Windows 7 64 bit with java 1.7
I have the following very simple script just to show the problem:
SET ECHO OFF;
SET FEEDBACK OFF;
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
SET VERIFY OFF;
SET PAGES 0;
SET HEAD OFF;
SPOOL c:\test.sql
SELECT 1, 2, 3 FROM DUAL;
SPOOL OFF;
/if I run it in TOAD 10.6.0.42 it creates the file with
1 2 3This is as expected (by me)
if I run the exact same query in SQL Developer 3.1.07.42 , it creates the file with:
< SELECT 1, 2, 3 FROM DUAL
1 2 3(the < above is actually ">" but the CODE formatting software is screwing ">")
but I don't want the ECHOed command to be spooled. For the life of me, I cannot find a way to disable the ECHO from spooling in sql developer.
Tried the same in 3.0.4 and 2.1.1 with the same (bad) result (plus some warning on some of the unsupported SET commands).
Am I missing something obvious? Cause like this, the spool command cannot be used in sql developer to generate a CSV file for example, because of the echoed command. And windows doesn't come with SED by default so that is out. (plus that my original script is integrated into a much larger and complex set of scripts and the main script using them is executed from SQL Developer as a company policy (so that everybody uses the same tool and the code runs the same for everybody))
Any ideas/suggestions are welcome
Thanks.

Hi Gary, you seem to have some extensive knowledge. I'd like to follow-up on this thread and try to understand why SQL Developer won't hide the code even though I'm already running the code as a Worksheet (I assume you mean Run Script F5 button in SQL Developer).
I generally develop in SQL Developer that does a lot of dbms_output to echo data using a Spool command. When I'm in SQL Developer I can't get the code NOT to spool, it typically is echoed directly in the spool file at the top followed by the dbms_output data. If I save the sql file and run in in sqlplus it only outputs the data (good). If I use @C:\xyz_script.sql and hit F5 in SQL Developer it only outputs the data (per your previous answer) -- good.
So why can't I hit F5 in SQL Developer in the script file and have it only output the data? It just doesn't work no matter how many "SETs" you turn-off.
Looks like Echo, Term, Feed are supported in SQL Developer, maybe supported means something other than work.

Query works in SQL Developer but not in Oracle APEX

The query below runs and produces the correct result in SQL Developer, but when I try to put it into a PL/SQL process in Apex I get the error shown. There is no semi-colon at the end of the query in APEX.
The error is:
ORA-06550: line 10, column 54: PL/SQL: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended ORA-06550: line 2, column 1: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored ORA-06550: line 11, column 21: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "end-of-file" when expecting one of the following: ( begin case declare end exception exit for goto if loop mod null pragma raise return select update while with.
The query is:
SELECT *
FROM
(SELECT *
from T3_LEADS
WHERE
(SYSDATE - Last_Mailed_Date) > 60 OR Last_Mailed_Date is null
WHERE MARKET_ID = 'Salt_Lake_City' AND rownum <= 100

That is because when you run a SQL in SQL*Plus or SQLDeveloper the output is displayed on the screen, but in Apex you need to select those values into variables so you can do something with the data.
delcare
v_emp_id    employee.emp_id%type;
begin
select emp_id
    into v_emp_id
    from employee
where lname = 'JOHNSON' and fname = 'BILLY';
-- Then do something with that data
if v_emp_id between 1 and 10 then
end if;
end;Probably a bad SQL for an example. For your SQL though, you are selecting * which you would be able to select into a rowtype variable, but you are probably going to start having problems like "Exact fetch returns more that one row" since your query will probably return more that one value. In those cases you want to use cursors, and loop through the data one record at a time. You can Google all of that.

Installation problem, SQL developer does not start

Do any of you have any tips or ideas what the problem could be?
I have the latest java jdk installed and jre.

What output do you get when if you run from the command line?

SQL Developer does not recognize my network drive

I have to cut and paste the full path including the document name in order to pull up a file from my network drive. Same issue if I try to save a new document to my network drive.
This is all I see when trying to open a document:
However, you can see I have lots of drives mapped:

Found the issue. Right Clicked on the shortcut I was using to run SQL Developer, chose Properties, clicked on the Compatibility tab, and unchecked 'Run this program as an administrator' under Privilege Level.

SQL Developer does not attach the selected glossary

I am trying to use a glossary to control abbreviations when generating the Relational Model from the LDM. I go to Tools > Preferences, then select Naming Standards, click on the + to add the glossary, select my glossary, then OK. When I follow that same path there is no sign that the glossary have been attached and certainly no abbreviating taking place when I engineer the Relational Model from the LDM. Can anyone help?

I have resolved the issue myself. It would appear that you have to attach the glossary BEFORE you create the blank relational model that you wish to forward engineer to. Odd but there you go!

Transact-SQL debugger not working in SQL Server 2008: "...debugger does not support SQL Server 2005 or earlier..."

I have recently installed SQL Server 2008. When I try to execute a query against an Access database, I receive this debugging error:
"Unable to start Transact-SQL debugger. The Transact-SQL debugger does not support SQL Server 2005 or earlier versions of SQL Server. (SQLEditors)"
Nor will the query execute; I get a transport-level error 0. Any thoughts?

Hi Davidmhjr,
>>Unable to start the Transact-SQL Debugger. The Transact-SQL Debugger does not support SQL Server 2005 or earlier versions of SQL Server. (SQLEditors).
Have you tried to restart the server once you have installed SQL Server 2008? As Naomi N mentioned please check the version of SQL Server you are using.
If you tried to connect to SQL Server 2005 from SQL Server 2008 SSMS, you would not be able to debug and get this error, it happens because T-SQL debugger includes both server-side and client-side components. The server-side debugger components are installed
with each instance of the SQL Server 2008 Database Engine. The client-side components are installed when you install the SQL Server 2008 client-side tools.
So it works with SQL Server 2008 only so far. Another way is you can triy to use SQL Server 2005 SSMS to connect to SQL Server 2005.
More information about configuration requirement to run T-SQL debugger as below, please refer:
There are no configuration requirements to run the Transact-SQL debugger when SQL Server Management Studio is running on the same computer as the instance of the SQL Server Database Engine. However, to run the Transact-SQL debugger when SQL Server Management
Studio is running on a different computer from the instance of the Database Engine, you must enable program and port exceptions by using the Windows Firewall Control Panel application on both computers.
On the computer that is running the instance of the Database Engine, in Windows Firewall, specify the following information:
•Add TCP port 135 to the exceptions list.
•Add the program sqlservr.exe to the exceptions list. By default, sqlservr.exe is installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.InstanceName\MSSQL\Binn, where InstanceName is MSSQLSERVER for the default instance, and the instance name for
any named instance.
•If the domain policy requires network communications to be done through IPsec, you must also add UDP port 4500 and UDP port 500 to the exception list.
On the computer that is running SQL Server Management Studio, in Windows Firewall, specify the following information:
•Add TCP port 135 to the exceptions list.
•Add program ssms.exe (SQL Server Management Studio) to the exceptions list. By default, ssms.exe is installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE.
Hope it is helpful.

SQL file does not open in Mac with SQL Developer

I have my .sql extension files in mac associated with SQL Developer, but when I open the file SQL Developer does not start; nothing happens.
I checked all the associations and it seems correct.
Any suggestion?

Hi Mike,
I can provide solution if you can tell me the registry value(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sqlwb.sql.9.0\Shell\Open\Command). I believe there is an extra %1 which is causing this.

"SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services does not support map report items"

Hi,
I am trying some new feature that are introduced in SQL Server 2008 R2 version. While I try to use "Map" control within it, it threw the following error:-
"Error 1 The map, Map1, was removed from the report. SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services does not support map report items. "
-Also, similar kind of error I am getting for "Indicator" control.

Hi Tej,
I think you get this error message when you are deploying a report to report server using BIDS, correct? If not, please provide more details on your scenario :-)
If I guessed correctly, then this message is a result of trying to deploy a map report (a SSRS 2008 R2 feature) to a non-R2 2008 report server. When deploying a report of RDL2010 format to a non-R2 report server, BIDS will downgrade the file to RDL2008 format, so that the non-R2 report server can process it. Any report elements using features not supported in RDL2008 will be dropped during this downgrade process.
BIDS gets the server version from a report project property called TargetServerVersion:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee635898(SQL.105).aspx
If your report server is indeed the 2008 R2 version, then the TargetServerVersion property should be set to "SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services." The project property page also has a "Auto Detect..." option if you are uncertain about the version of your report server.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

Software Component does not support selected Development Component Type...

Hi,
I have a problem, i want create a new project of Mobile Service Component, but, when i want select MyComponents [demo.sap.com], in the top appear:
"Software Component does not support selected Development Component Type. Required DCs are located in an SC that is not visible from the selected SC "
Why?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,

Hi Victor,
the issue is that the archive pool in your NWDS is not set up properly. Could you check the configuration of the development configuration? I guess you are developing in Local Development, right? Please check in the "Component Browser" that the two Software Components "NWMCLIENT" and "XOCA" are present and contain some DCs inside them. If this is not true, than something went wrong with your setup of the IDE. The modifications of the default.confdef are most likely not right.
Please come back to me if you don´t know how to proceed.

OWB 9.0.4 :SQL*Loader: Operator POSTMAPPING does not support

While trying to poulate Analytical Workspace using WB_LOAD_OLAP_CUBE, I got the following validation error
The analysis of the mapping is not successful under all supported languages and operating modes. Detail is as follows:
SQL*Loader: Operator POSTMAPPING does not support SQL*Loader generation.
ABAP: Operator AWPARAMS does not support ABAP generation.
I dont know what that means. Your help will be appreciated. Do I need apply some post 9.2.0.3 patch?. If yes, please let me know the patch number if available.
FYI: I am using Oracle9i with 9.2.0.3 patch
Thanks

Panneer,
Does the regular process load from a flat file into a table? This would be implemented as SQL loader mapping... in which case a PL/SQL call cannot be implemented.
What you could do:
- Use an external table to read from the flat file.
- Use the transformation in a process flow. I.e. you first execute the SQL loader mapping and then execute the transformation.
Mark.
