SQL Developer editor readability

I have just switched to SQL Developer from Toad and I have found a couple problems with the editor that make it unreadable.
The first issue is that the fonts appear blockier and heavier. On both Toad and SQL Developer I'm using Consolas with size 12. I've tried turning the "enable text anti-aliasing" on and off and they are both bad. Could the issue be that SQL Developer is not using Window's clear type fonts? If so can this be fixed?
The second issue is that the color of the whitespace characters (spaces and line-breaks) in SQL Developer are way too dark. I am unable to find a setting to lighten them up. Am I missing the setting, or can this capability be added?

In "Tools -> Preferences -> Code Editor -> Display" there is an option called "Show Whitespace Characters". Turning this on allows you to see whitespace characters in the editor. For example, spaces are shown as middle dots (i.e. ··········), tabs are shown as "»", and line breaks are shown as "«¶".
The problem is that they are way too dark. They need to be a very faint, subtle gray. I do not see any way to change the color.

Problem in sql developer while connecting to oracle 11g

when am creating a database connection with oracle 11g in sql developer editor it s throwing network adapter could not establish the connection
connection name test
user name system
password system
Role default
Host name localhost
Port 1521
SID orcl
Can any one help me to resolve the problem?
Thanks in advance

Those parameters probably aren't correct.
Is that 11g on your machine? Try to specify the real IP instead. And sure the listener is up?
Also sure about the SID and port?
Hope that helps,

SQL Developer paste problem for large text in Linux

Hello,
I have a problem. I cannot paste large text (> 5000 lines) into the editor of a clob column. Pasting in general works. I mean I can paste the whole content e.g. to gedit or I can paste partially the text into the sql developer editor but not as a whole.
Colleagues on a Mac can paste the text into the editor. So it should not be about DB settings.
Can anyone tell me which setting I have to change?

Hi
The following works but there may be better solutions:
http://totierne.blogspot.com/2008/05/issuesquare-boxes-as-text-characters.html
Issue:Square boxes as text characters Solution:Add fonts
Chinese characters in Linux see Debian Chinese How To [1] basically:
1. create a jre/lib/fonts/fallback directory if necessary and
2. copy or link the fonts files into this directory. (On my Linux system: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/arphic/gbsn00lp.ttf )

How to make a file to be opened in PL-SQL Editor of SQL Developer

How to open a package file (.pkg) in sql Developer's PL-SQL Editor?
Tried creating a new file type with Extension as .pkg and file type as PlSqlNode.
Could open the file and found some of the features of plsql editor, such as find, compile... but could not differentiate the font colors.
How should we go about in having the file opened with different font colors (for identifier, builtin....?
Thanks.
K.Nataraja Suthan,

I guess you're running into another known bug in this file-based battlefield.
Opening files won't colour the code until having opened some code from the DB first. Can you try that?
On a sidenote, I've had really bad experiences with external files (both compiling to DB and saving to file incorrectly, not showing errors, etc.). In the end the only safe thing to do is work directly on the DB, saving your progress now and then to file.
Regards,
K.

SQL Developer 3.0.03 Code Editor Save Actions missing from menu

I had just gotten a new notebook and installed latest version of Oracle SQL Developer 3.0.03. Seems Auto Save settings are enabled by default. I am prompted each time I switch off from SQL Dev to another app or window to Save the SQL code I am testing. I don't want to necessarily save it each time so I have to save or cancel each time I switch windows. I checked the documentation Help menu and it directed me to the Code Editor section > Save Actions menu to adjust settings. This category does not exist (or is not visible for me) to check settings and make changes. I am Admin on machine and installer of the app so not sure if it is some security setting I am not aware of. Or is this the wrong Help documentation for this version?
This version is much different from older version I was using. Any thougts on this before I remove and re-install an older version?
Thanks,
Joe

many thanks for your reply jim. i see the settings for 'prompt for save file on close'. this is checked by default and that is fine. if i have a sql worksheet open, as soon as i switch to another window (i.e. visual studio app), i get prompted to save the file. that is the strange behavior i've been seeing with this version.
i will try to update to 3.0.04 and see if that resolves. i appreciate your help.

Bug: Sql Developer v1.2.1 (32.13) - Date Field Editor doesn't work properly

Version: Sql Developer v1.2.1 (32.13)
OS: Windows XP SP2
Database: Oracle 10g
Symptoms:
I have a table with a DATE field.
In a record of this field a have a value such as : 12/31/0003 (I know this is a strange date value) but the problem is that if I try to change this value using SqlDeveloper grid editor in 12/31/2003, it seems to not recognize the change without enabling the Commit Button and keeping the 0003 value !

OK, I'm not understanding you exactly. It's not the formatting that you're having an issue with, but the editor. I have a date for a record that is 17-Feb-2006 and I want it to be 17-Feb-1996, so I invoke the date editor and highlight just the year and make the change. Just type in the new year and say OK. This then causes the Commit button to become available, because we have made a change and then I commit the record.
The record is committed correctly, with the correct years, regardless of whether I have the formatting as RR, RRRR, YY or YYYY.

SQL Developer 2.1 editor settings

In SQL Developer 2.1, when I single click on a pl/sql object in the navigation pane, a writable editor tab opens. How can I change this behavior so that it opens as read-only? I only want the pl/sql editor to be writable if explicitly selected. I could not find anything in the preferences for this.
Thanks, John

You can always make a suggestion on the SQL Developer Exchange, and/or vote on some of the existing read-only connection requests to add more weight for possible future implementation.

Multiple Editor Tabs in SQL Developer

I am on the current release of SQL Developer (1.5.4, build 5940). Every time I log into a database instance (doesn't seem to matter which instance), I get multiple code editor tabs. For example, if I log into an instance called 'ABC System', I'll get a tab labeled 'ABC System' and a 2nd tab labeled 'ABC System-1'.
It is not a serious problem, as I can delete one of the tabs and continue my work, but it is a bit of an annoyance. Has anyone else encountered this problem and know of a fix? Thank you very much.

Hi,
Once you have more than one tab open (frozen/pinned) in a connection's object viewer pane, just right-click on the tab and select "New Editor Tab Group". That tab is then placed in its own pane side-by-side with the original pane.

SQL Developer 1.5 pegs CPU at 100% in Procedure Editor

I have noticed that opening a large package or procedure causes SQL Developer to chew up 100% of my CPU as soon as I start typing. There is a 3-5 second delay before any key I press appears on the screen. If I let it sit for about 2 minutes, the CPU usage drops to normal, but shoots back to 100% as soon as I type anything. This makes it unbearable to use. I have verified this DOES NOT happen in 1.2.
The client PC I am using is Dell Celeron 2.4ghz with 1gig of memory.
The Oracle version is 10g - 10.2.0.3.0
The SQL Developer version I am using is 1.5.0.53, Build MAIN-53.38
I have tried turning of code insight and auto complete, and have added "-J-Dsdev.insight=false" to the startup parameters but it doesn't help at all. Anyone else noticing this and have any insights, workarounds, etc?

I just recently updated my SQL Developer to 1.5.1.
When I edit my Package Body( adding some lines of code)
my CPU jumps up to 100% and stays there for maybe 5 seconds
or longer.I did NOT press the SAVE button, just typing maybe 10 characters.
The 100% CPU is happening too often. I must find a way around it.
I thought the program COULD be doing an AUTOMATIC SAVE after
so many seconds, but I cannot confirm that yet...
I may have to go back to the previous version...
I'll try the previous suggestion.
Until then, I'll wait for the next upgrade...

SQL Developer 2.1.1 Editor question

Finally the problem posted here Re: SQL Developer 2.1 no longer allows to edit another granted schemas resolved.
Now we can edit all granted schemas. I think, this is the most important improvement in this version! Thank you!
But now, IMHO, we have too much freedom!
For example: As soon as you click on object in the navigational panel on left side, the new worksheet is opened and YOU CAN EDIT a source code!!
Well... Why do we need the EDIT option in the Right Click Content Menu then? It is absolutely redundant!
I think, that click in the navigational panel should open a source only in READ ONLY mode! This sounds only logical, right? Most of the time code just needs to be browsed, so why have a risk of accidental damage of code?
Edit should be allowed only if you intentionally select the Edit option from the content menu.
Am I right or am I right?
Obviously, this is not a critical issue, but it would be a good idea to fix it in the next release

I swear I've read requests like this before so I checked the feature requests.

I added my vote just for the hell of it. Looks like it's already slated for the 3.0 release.

EA2/EA1 - SQL Developer freeze in file editor

I had a PL/SQL local file open (.pkb) with a database connection selected and compiled the file. There was a compilation error and when I went to correct it, SQL Developer froze (before my typing had updated the file).
I had the console open and it shows the following exception, which I assume is relate to the freeze:

I have just gotten basically the same exception on the console with EA2 using JDK 1.6.0_04. This time I had an SQL file open and had just looked at the history and switched back to the SQL tab to run a query.
Is the history tab trying to do something that is not yet being shipped with EA2?

SPEEDING UP YOUR PL/SQL DEVELOPMENT

제품 : SQL*PLUS
작성날짜 : 1997-01-09
=================================
Speeding up your PL/SQL development
=================================
By Jeff Warner
If you're doing Oracle database or application development, then you're probably using PL/SQL. Every PL/SQL programmer is familiar with
using SQL*Plus to develop PL/SQL programs. Developer/2000 offers a better way: Procedure Builder. In this article we'll explore how
Procedure Builder can improve your PL/SQL development.
It has a GUI
==========
The first feature you'll notice in Procedure Builder is the graphical user interface (GUI). Procedure Builder provides separate windows for the
Object Navigator, the PL/SQL interpreter, and the program unit editor. By the way, if you think the program unit editor looks familiar, you're
probably right. Oracle uses it inside the other tools in Developer/2000 (Forms, Reports, and Graphics). Using the Object Navigator, you can
view the relationship between your code and the library and packages. Object Navigator also provides the references and referenced-by
information, as well as giving you the ability to examine the procedures and functions that make up packages and libraries. This makes it very
easy to take advantage of existing code.
The PL/SQL interpreter is just what you'd expect. You can use normal SQL and PL/SQL commands and see the results in the output
window. You create your PL/SQL in the program unit editor window. As with any text editor, you can cut, copy, and paste as well as search
and replace text. You can also use the editor to import and export source files. However, the editor's best feature is the Compile button. Click
the Compile button, and Procedure Builder will compile your code and display any errors in the bottom of the window. Click on the error,
and your cursor will move to the offending line. This will radically improve the compile-debug-run sequence. Speaking of debugging,
Procedure Builder has something that will really make life easier for you.
A PL/SQL debugger
================
Yes, Procedure Builder includes a real debugger for PL/SQL. Its features include breakpoints, triggers, variable inspection, variable
modification, step into, step over, and step out.
Having a graphical and easy-to-use debugger can dramatically improve code development. For example, to set a breakpoint in your code,
simply bring the PL/SQL interpreter window to the front and double-click on the line where a breakpoint is needed.
Once you've set a breakpoint and executed the code, the debugger will stop the program at the breakpoint. From here, you can use Object
Navigator to view and change the variables in the program. To resume execution, you can use Procedure Builder to step into, step over, or
step out of a routine. Procedure Builder also provides an option to simply continue execution.
A powerful feature of Procedure Builder's breakpoints is the capability of adding trigger code. Trigger code is a piece of PL/SQL that
executes when the breakpoint is hit. You can use this feature to log the value of a variable to the screen or a file.
If you need a conditional breakpoint, you can use a trigger. For example, let's say you want to stop execution only if the local variable i is
greater than zero. First, select the line where you want the check to occur and create a trigger by clicking the right mouse button on the line
and selecting Trigger. This will open the PL/SQL Trigger window. In the Trigger Body area, enter the following command to halt execution:
if debug.geti('i') > 0 then
raise debug.break;
end if;
Now the program will stop execution only when this condition is valid. You can also use the Trigger Body of a trigger to log information to a
file or a screen.
Debugging server-side programs
===========================
The version of Procedure Builder shipped with version 1.2 of Developer/2000 is V1.5.5.7.0. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow you to directly
debug programs on the server (this is planned for a future version). However, with the click-and-drag partition feature of Developer/2000,
you can use Object Navigator to drag the program unit from the server to the local program unit and debug it there.
Lots of help
=========
Procedure Builder includes extensive help under Windows. In addition to the normal help available on program features, Procedure Builder
provides help on the built-in packages as well as the PL/SQL commands to maintain libraries, program units, and packages. Also, version 1.2
or later of Developer/2000 provides the Cue Cards and Quick Tour.
Conclusion
=========
As you can see, Procedure Builder is a very powerful tool for development. The debugger is first-rate and the extensive help is a great
addition. One other nice feature of Procedure Builder is that Oracle will license it separately from Developer/2000 if you have users who don't indeed the other parts of Developer/2000. If you're doing PL/SQL programming, you should take advantage of what Procedure Builder has to
offer.

I logged bug6508875 for this.
One suggestion in the meantime until we can get compile errors directed to the log window for offline objects...
You can open the Database Navigator to point to the same db connection. After generating the offline PL/SQL to the db, refresh the connection in the DB navigator. You will see any invalid objects flagged with an error icon. Then you can right-click on the PL/SQL with the error, and "Make" it. This will display the errors in the log window, similar to SQL Developer.
