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.

SQL Developer 1.5 - The Network Adapter could not establish the connection

I was using SQL Developer 1.2 until this afternoon. I saw that 1.5 was available so I decided to try it out.
Unfortunately, I cannot connect. I've tried connecting the same way I've done with 1.2 and it gives me the error:
"Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection"
No firewall changes, tns changes have been done the whole 10 minutes I was transitioning over from 1.2 to 1.5.
Any ideas how I can get 1.5 to connect?

Hi Echoi ,
1/Do you want us to look at the tnsnames.ora and see if we spot anything?
2/There are complications with existing ORACLE_HOME s:
Re: 1.5 not working at all for me
post from dooneill:
Hi Thomas,
SQL Developer does pick up the JDBC drivers from your local ORACLE_HOME.
To ensure your using the shipped JDBC drivers you could use the following small script.
I would appreciate if you could tell me if this works and what version of Oracle you have installed locally.
1) Close SQL Developer
2) Create a sqldeveloper.cmd file in the SQL Developer root directory
3) With the following contents
SET ORACLE_HOME=%CD%
start sqldeveloper.exe
4) Run sqldeveloper.cmd
Thanks

SQL Developer 1.1 Crash on connecting

Hello,
I have a TNS type connection defined which uses the default role and a connect identifier rather than a network alias. When I click test I get a success message but when I click connect then SQL developer waits for a few seconds and then crashes (no error message displayed). Can anyone suggest where to start looking for the cause of this?
Regards

I found another post by jayantp from 8-dec-2006 where he suggested copying some files from the oracle client jdbc\lib directory to the sqldeveloper\jdbc\lib directory:
ojdbc14.jar and

This works for me but I don't know what the side effects might be. Any thoughts?

SQL developer (3.1.06.44) connection issue

When I try to connect the database I'm getting below error, what could be the problem...Can any one help me ...?
Connection type : Basic , Role : SYSDBA
Port : 1521
Connecting through SERVICE NAME
=====================================================================
Error:

Staus: Failure - Test failed : The network adapter could not establish the connection

Hi 889828,
It is a fairly generic error.
Is your database Started? ( On Windows XP service name: OracleService<name> )
Is there a firewall (on the client or the server) blocking the connecton? (try telnet to 1521)
Does SQLPLUS work (through a tcp network alias in tnsnames.ora)?
Does tnsping work ?
Are all your arguments typed in correctly?
I did a quick look for similar messages:
java.sql.SQLException: IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish...
Exception: IO Exception:Thenetwork adapter could not establish connection.

SQL Developer tool giving error Network Adapter could not establish

Hello,
I installed oracle 11.2 client on my windows 7 machine.
When i connect sql developer, i get the below error.
status : Failure - Test failed : The network Adapter could not establish the connection
I am using network Alias to select SID name.
I am able to connect the same database through sqlplus. I am able to ping the tnsname. I am able to telent the server for 1521 port.
What else could be the issue?
Any help is appreciated.

You'll probably want to post this in the SQL Developer forum.. SQL Developer

SQL Developer dropping first column in a SQL SELECT

Am not too certain who to report this to... but I just noticed that SQL Developer will not return the first column in a SELECT statement when there is a comment just after the SELECT reserved word when running the query in the SQL Worksheet. For instance:
SELECT -- > HEADER INFORMATION STARTS HERE <--
w.stu_id HDR_STU_ID,
w.wiser_id HDR_WISER_ID,
iep.wiep_id HDR_WIEP_ID,
sis.wisis_id HDR_WISIS_ID,
FROM wiser_exit exit
INNER JOIN wiser w
ON exit.wiser_id = w.wiser_id
INNER JOIN wiser_iep iep
ON w.wiser_id = iep.wiser_id
INNER JOIN vw_wiser_iep_sis sis
ON iep.wiep_id = sis.wiep_id
will just return columns 2 - 4 (HDR_WISER_ID, HDR_WIEP_ID, and HDR_WISIS_ID), and NOT column HDR_STU_ID.
I verified this by running the same query in SQL Commands in the SQL Workshop of APEX, and the resultset returned all the columns including HDR_STU_ID.
Just ran another quick test in SQL Developer, and get the same results from a SELECT against a single table:
SELECT -- > HEADER INFORMATION STARTS HERE <--
county_cd,
odd_even_flg,
street_name
FROM dime
Did not return the county_cd column.
I know, it's just a minor quirk, but I thought I would mention it.

John,
Thank you. I replaced the '--' comments with the '/*' '*/' style and it picked up the first column.
I guess I'll just have to break an old habit I've been doing for years for comments. Dang, I hope all that old code doesn't break...
Thomas
Spoke too soon. I followed up by checking what Oracle's 'Oracle Database 10g The Complete Reference' had to say about the issue of using '--' for comments and under '-- (Comment)' it says "-- tells oracle a comment has begun. Everything from that point to the end of the line is treated as a comment. These delimiters are used only within SQL itself or in PL/SQL ..."
So I guess I can continue using '--', but need to keep in mind that in certain circumstances it might not work as expected. YMMV

Oracle SQL developer 3.2.20.09 connection problem

SQL Developer 1.5 Missing DB Connection Tabs

After installing SQL Developer 1.5 EA1 in a new directory, I do not have the Sybase, MS SQL, MYSQL tabs when I try to create a new entry in the Database Connection window. Is this a Java problem? I have many database drivers and tools installed on the same workstation.

I've installed SQL Developer 1.5 EA3 (sqldeveloper-5304.zip incl JDK1.5.0_06) on Windows XP (service pack up to date).
I've downloaded http://download.sybase.com/pub/jConnect/jConnect-6_05.zip for Sybase connectivity and unzipped to "C:\Program Files\sybase\jConnect-6_0"
I add the drivers under Prefs > Database > Third party drivers as:
c:\Program Files\sybase\jConnect-6_0\classes\jconn3.jar
and/or
c:\Program Files\sybase\jConnect-6_0\classes\jTDS3.jar
When adding a connection, I only get Oracle and Access tabs (not a Sybase one too).
Moving the .jars to a path without spaces didn't help.
Please help.

SQL Developer on Windows trying to connect to M/F with RACF authentication

I am currently running the latest downloaded version of SQL Developer on a Windows XP client machine.
We have recently upgraded our z/os Oracle version to 10.2.0.3
I was advised to use the thin java client in SQL Developer by inputting the URL into the advanced window - jdbc:oracle:thin:user/******@ukmet-***:3010:***
This returns an ORA-28037 Cannot get session key for RACF authentication
If I however substitute oci for thin then I get a test successful but the subsequent attempt at a connection crashes SQL Developer.
Any ideas on how I get a stable connection greatly appreciated

The tns list might be empty due to the bug that it's only looking for lower case tns file names. This is a bug in 1.1 and has been addressed with the patch. Also in 1.1, there are some instance where the tns file is not picked up through the registry setting, you might need to set the PATH variable to address that. This too has been fixed in the patch.

Help. What to do? New Update destroyed all my network connections

I can no longer connect to my wireless system (it was working this morning before I downloaded updates--security, itunes and airport). The first thing support tells me to do is update my OS. Which I would do if I could connect to the internet--but I can't. Network Setup Asst is asking me questions I don't know how to answer: IP Address, Subnet Mast, Router, DNS Servers, Search Domains, lPv6 address. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Jill

Try the following:
To setup AirPort for High-Speed Cable Internet connectivity:
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "New" to create one. - Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
- Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
AirPort tab
- By default, join: Automatic
TCP/IP tab
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Proxies tab
- Configure Proxies: Manually
- Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
- Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
- Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>

Where are Connections properties stored in SQL Developer on Windows XP?

I am amazed with the new SQL Developer with the simplicity it brings to SQL programmer. Does any one knows where SQL Developer stores all the added Connections? How can I use SQL Developer to read an existing tnsnames.ora file and set all the Connections properties?

The best thing to do is just export the connections you create to a file. Use the context menu to do this and then you can import and export the connections you create.
There is a TNS tab which should show your tns entries, if that's set up. If you don't see your tns entries in the drop list, then you need to set the path in you env variables. See the FAQ section on SQL Developer Exchange. http://sqldeveloper.oracle.com

Connection with SQL Server 2000 to SQL Developer 1.2 Migration Workbench

Hi all,
I keep getting the following error with setup for SQL Developer 1.2 Migration Workbench connection to SQL Server 2000 database:
"Status: Failure -Network error IOException: Connection refused:connect"
I can access the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database with username
and password using Enteprise Manager. However for some odd
reason the Oracle SQL Developer 1.2 cannot connect to it.

I was having this problem too. I'll mangle this explanation, but Our SQLServer instance was on a local server with some named DNS something. So, to get to the server, we used theservername.outdomain instead of an IP. We could never get it to connect through the named server. We got an SQLServer instance going on a server that we could connect to through a regular IP, and it connected just fine.
Also, are you using the JTDS driver, or microsofts driver? We have only been able to connect with the JTDS driver. http://jtds.sourceforge.net/
