SQL Developer Enhancements

Is it possible to have :
a) collapsible blocks and functions like Toad for Oracle?
b) to format code and have flexibility in formatting, tabs, margins, keywords, indenting, parenthesis, parameters, declarations, capitals ... etc...
b) the ability to save format code settings to a file so mor ethan one copy of SQL Developer (developers) can use the same formatting?
c) To be able to navigate through a package - click on the name of a procedure and be able to go right to it?
Please let me know if these are already available as I just upgraded.... Many thanks...

yes. In any of the PL/SQL editors there are controls for this in the left hand margin
Not sure I understand - you mean the object browser tree on the left?
I meant collapsible in the right side (while editing the code, being able to collapse a BEGIN block or a Sub program but in the editing window like inToad for Oracle)
Is this possible?
Yes. If you open some PL/SQL in an editor, you will see [-] in the margin against collapsible elements.
b) to format code and have flexibility in formatting, tabs, margins, keywords, indenting, parenthesis, parameters, declarations, capitals ... etc...
yes Tools | Preferences | Database | SQL Formatter
This looks very basic just now - Can there be more added here?
First a visual example of how a format selection will change the code dynamically would be outstanding.
As for formatting:
It would be great to not have spaces and substitute tabs at the left side of each line.
Also, to be able to position INSERT and VALUE blocks as well as other Blocks
position parenthesis around sub program declarations along with IS, AS
format declarations like positioning IN and OUT and DEFUALT
Capitalize choices like Datatype
I don't think you have looked at this properly. There are a number of sub-pages with many options.
b) the ability to save format code settings to a file so mor ethan one copy of SQL Developer (developers) can use the same formatting?
No. This has been requested before. Goto the SQL Developer exchange and vote on it.
I went to the web site and did not see a vote choice so created a request.
How do I vote on it?
You can't vote on your own creations.
c) To be able to navigate through a package - click on the name of a procedure and be able to go right to it?
Yes and no. There is a decomposition of the package in the object browser which makes it fairly easy to find things. There is also an "open declaration" context menu item but that will open the package spec code rather than jumping to the definition in the current package body
The decomposition of the package merely lists the sub programs in the package.Actually it lists variables as well
Jumping to the spec code can be helpful but being able to jump to the Body code is much more preferred.
Can this be added?
I will add to the create feature list -

Enhancement Req: Logging of actions within SQL Developer

I've always felt that was a deficiency of OEM - there was no way that I knew of to log what you did, especially DDL commands.
I wish that SQL Developer would add that capability, for several reasons not the least of which is to be able to extract an ad-hoc commands to put in a script if you ever had to rebuild your schema.
Another reason is to record your actions to validate what you had done.

If you edit the sqldeveloper.conf file. and uncomment this line
#AddVMOption -Daudit.trace=db_api
You'll should see just about every sql we issue either on a message log or on the console.

Password change fails in SQL Developer with verify function...

A couple of months ago I enforced a password verify function on our 11.2.0.3 databases and also one legacy 10.2.0.4 database.
At the time I tested on my account (which had elevated privileges...doh!).   Now some users are hitting expiry, they can't change it via SQL Developer.
If I create a user with 'create session' privilege and set their profile to one that uses the verify function (see both below), I then log in to SQL Developer (we have tried with versions 3.1 (Windows) and 3.2 (Linux) with same failure results.
BTW,.. the password verify function enforces the following:
password must be minimum of 8 characters
password must not be the same as the user name, or user name (1-100)
password must contain at least a single digit
password must contain at least a single character
1. Works = I log into the local server and run command line SQLPlus, type 'password' and update.   I can successfully change my password.
2. Fails = I log into the local server and run command line SQLPlus, type 'alter user <me> identified by <newpwd>;' I get:
TEST: SUTEMP > alter user sutemp identified by carport9999;
alter user sutemp identified by carport9999
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28221: REPLACE not specified
This error is because the account does not have the 'alter user' privilege.   I'm okay with this, as I don't want our users having this privilege.
3. I start SQL Developer 3.2, type 'alter user <me> identified by <newpwd>;' I get the same ORA-28221 error as above.   That is fine, and as expected.
4. Now in SQL Developer, I type 'password', set a valid password, but I get 'Failed to change password' in the Script Output tab.
I have a database 'after servererror on database' trigger set, and querying the database table it is logging into, I see a record with a date stamp matching my failure with a server_error=28221 (the same as above).
So I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong here, or if this is a bug in SQL Developer.   I don't want standard users having 'alter user' privileges, but I do want to enforce password verification.
I get the same result on three 11.2.0.3 databases (haven't tried any more but suspect same results for others) and one legacy 10.2.0.4 database, and using SQL Developer 3.1 and 3.2.

okay,... I just saw another website which shows I should put in the 'replace <oldpwd>' clause in.
This works in SQL Developer:     alter user sutemp identified by carport999 replace garage999;
So why does the 'password' command fail?     (Developers: it would also be helpful to have the ORA- error displayed as opposed to 'Failed to change password')

How to get the script of a table or view in SQL Developer?

Dear friends/expert,
Could you tell me how to get the script for a view or a table easily in SQL Developer like pressing F4 in TOAD?
I found that I can press SHIFT+F4 for a view in SQL Developer and get the script of the view in Details Tab. But how to move the script to SQL worksheet to edit? It is very easy to do in TOAD.
And I didn't find a way to get the script for a table till now. Is there any way to do that?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Ning

1. Although the team might put a lot of effort in keeping track on the forum, a lot of posts still go by without answer.
2. If you have an enhancement request, log it at the announced SQL Developer Exchange, so others can vote to add weight on the issue. Be clear and detailed in the explanation.
3. Given the structure of the application, I guess it won't be easy (maybe impossible) to add the functionality you are asking. Do you have a suggestion on how to access the info?
4. If your request gets accepted, still another year or two may go by until the functionality gets added. For sure you'll be better off writing a user defined extension or report (querying DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL).
Hope that helps,
K.

SQL*Developer 2.1 - Not Generating DDL for Different Users

Using SQL*Developer Version 2.1.0.63 I get an error trying to generate DDL from another user, that has access to many other schemas. It looks to me like Sql Developer is calling the DBMS_METADATA package from within other PL/SQL.
I am receiving the following error:
ORA-31603: object "ACCOUNT_TYPE_LKP" of type TABLE not found in schema "POR_OWN"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 105
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 3241
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 4812
ORA-06512: at line 1
I would receive these same errors in SQL Developer 1.5, but the DDL would still generated. It was picking something up, even though it had an error.
Our DBA has not been able to provided a work around. He says you have to login directly as the owner of the objects to use dbms_metdata in this fashion.
Is there any work around for this? I really need to be able to get DDL and I do not want to go back to 1.5 (I like the other new features of 2.1).
Thanks,
Tom

We have several users currently using SQL Navigator and/or TOAD. We would like them to switch to SQL developer, but part of their job is to view the source of views in another schema. They have select privileges on the underlying tables and are able to see the source using other tools. Using SQL Developer, they receive on ORA-31603 because it's calling dbms_meta. Note ID 1185443.1 describes the issue and suggests granting the users the SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE.
We are hesitant about granting this role to these users which allows access to ever 1,700 objects, plus execute privileges to 4 objects.
Support indicated that Enhancement Request 8498115 addresses this issue.
Is this something that may be addressed in the next release?
Thanks,
Paul

Oracle SQL Developer is out

If you haven't been paying attention to early adopters of Project Raptor there it is - production release of Oracle SQL Developer, outstanding database development tool. It works very well with XE and if you're somehow reluctant to web interface or too ascetic sqlplus, you shall certainly like it. Very useful and at no charge.
Oracle SQL Developer is a new, free graphical tool that enhances productivity and simplifies database development tasks. With SQL Developer, you can browse database objects, run SQL statements and SQL scripts, and edit and debug PL/SQL statements. You can also run any number of provided reports, as well as create and save your own.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/index.html

I use SQL Developer for SQL and PL/SQL and only use SQL*Plus for the few commands that don't work in SQL Developer.
SQL Developer has a forum, too.

New features for SQL Developer.

SQL Developer should include assistance to set up backups with RMAN, expdp, impdp and create, delete and modify tablespaces.
Roberto.

You can raise enhancement requests in the SQLDeveloper exchange.

Double the memory usage in SQL Developer 1.5 vs 1.2.1

I have observed that SQL Developer 1.5 uses at least twice the amount of RAM than 1.2.1 when performing the same functions. This seems rather inefficient. I am merely opening the application and opening a single connection, where 1.2.1 uses ~60MB RAM, while 1.5 uses ~110 - 150MB ram. Is something wrong here, or is the enhancing of the GUI in 1.5 just using up mad RAM? Can this be cleaned up somehow? Thanks.

I agree I have noticed 1.5 is very taxing on my machine.
1.51 5440
XP 1 GB RAM
According to Task Manager, Mem Usage is 6.5 mb, and VM is 240 meg, this is one database connection and editing one function.
I know memory issues were brought up in other versions but it seems it is getting worse not better. I wish Oracle would acknowledge the issue.

Sql Developer - View source code of procedures, functions & packages in another schema

Our developers need the ability to view procedures, function, packages etc. in the production database (using SQL DEVELOPER). They don't have access to sign on as the owner of these
objects in Production. They must use their own limited access UserID for this purpose.
This limited access UserID has been granted select privilege on DBA_SOURCE & DBA_OBJECTS. The developers need the ability to view the source of these object via
the tree view in SQL DEV. They should be able to click on "other users" in the SQL DEV tree view and see a listing of the owner schema objects. Then they should
be able to select the desired object and view the source code. These developers are used to using GUI interfaces. Selecting from DBA_SOURCE would not be an
option for them.
I understand that if the limited user is granted SELECT ANY DICTIONARY or SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE then this functionality will work. The problem is those
privileges/roles provide much more access than should be granted to these limited access users. Granting DBA to these users is also not an option.
In TOAD and other end-user tools this functionality works when only select privilege on DBA_SOURCE & DBA_OBJECTS has been granted. We need this same functionality
in SQL DEV.
While searching this forum and the internet, I see that other installations have this same issue.
Please enhance SQL Developer with this functionality.
Thank you, ellen

Just to double check that I'm interpreting the problem correctly, is the following true:
select * from all_objects where object_name = 'DBA_SOURCE'
returns nothing
select * from dba_source where name = your PL/SQL module
returns all the code

Administration of APEX in SQL Developer with Proxy Authentication impossibl

Hello!
We are using latest version of SQL Developer to administer APEX. We are connecting to the database with proxy authentication. The syntax is:
personal_user[apex_ws_owner]
e.g.: mdecker[apex_demo]
When trying to deploy APEX application I go to "Database Object" -> Application Express -> Application1 [100] -> right mouse click: "Deploy Application". Then I select the appropriate database identifier and next, I am presented with a screen showing import options. In second line, it says: "Parsing Schema: MDECKER".
This is wrong: it has to be Parsing Schema: APEX_DEMO. It seems that managing APEX with SQL Developer does not support Proxy Authentication.
Could you please confirm?
Is there a way to formally ask for this enhancement?
Best regards,
Martin
Update:
I found out that if I check the flag "Proxy Authentication" in the connect details and provide both passwords, the deploy application parsing schema is set to the correct APEX_DEMO account. However, we are using Proxy Authentication in order to avoid having to know the application password.
Edited by: mdecker on Jan 28, 2013 4:48 PM

There is a write-up about connecting to APEX here: <a href ="http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/sql_dev_integration.html" >SQL Dev Oracle APEX Integration</a>
<p>You do need to have updated to Oracle APEX 3.0.1.

How to execute command(program) from external file in Oracle SQL developer

Hi,
Does anyone know, Oracle SQL developer version 1.0.0.14.67 got any function that can execute command from an external file?
Example, i have 100 insert SQL inside a text file,
and i want to use Oracle SQL developer to execute it. How do i read from my text file? Thanks a lots.

If you're new to Oracle, do yourself and us a favour: read some tutorials and manuals. What sqldev's worth, better download the latest version (1.1.2), lots of fixes and enhancements...
Now for the big popper: to run an external file: @file
Best of luck,
K.

SQL Developer Extension, GeoRaptor Release 2.1.1 (Build 3) now available

Cross Post.
See details at: GeoRaptor Release 2.1.1 (Build 3) Available for SQL Developer
regards
Simon Greener

Hi,
The original GeoRaptor had some documentation but it has not been updated.
It is a task on the development list but it has a low priority next to the developments we have planned for the next release. (The main ones being the ability to map the whole, or part, of a SELECT statement executed in a SQL Worksheet - including export to shapefile; the addition of multiple SRID-aware Views to enhance the current single, SRID-unaware view; length/area tools; line and polygon selection tools.)
The attribute and geometry tabs in the pane in the lower half of the spatial view will appear when an "identify" operation is executed and selected data exists.
The split into attribute and geometry tabs was done to better control the visualisation experience of a user. The original Geometry tab displayed a single geometry in a non-standard way and allowed a user to drag select ordinates which could then be mapped. The button should have been removed in build 3 but it wasn't. It will probably do nothing. Perhaps in the next release we might replace the button with an ability to select and individual geometry, highlight it and show its points or even show elements in a multi-element geometry eg show me inner ring 2 in the first outer-ring of a multi-polygon. Don't know. If anyone wants this type of functionality register an enhancement request on the sourceforge GeoRaptor website.
Remember, GeoRaptor is an open source, community driven tool. If you want to help by writing documentation eg a simple one page wiki page on how to validate geometry etc (it doesn't have to be a whole manual), or contribute code, let us know. Or if you simply like the tool or want an enhancement, let us know.
It is hard writing a tool in the vacuum of one's own experience (no matter how considerable that might be) in a land far, far away (I live in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia), to let us know how we are going......

GeoRaptor Release 2.1.1 (Build 3) Available for SQL Developer

Folks,
On 7th July the GeoRaptor development team released version 2.1.1 Build 3 into the public domain.
It can be downloaded from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/georaptor
This release has a very large list of functional additions and enhancements. A summary of these can be read at the GeoRaptor wiki:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/georaptor/index.php?title=Main_Page
For example, now you can run VALIDATE_GEOMETRY_WITH_CONTEXT and actually have GeoRaptor take you to the errors that are described in the error string that the Oracle function returns! There may be other tools that do this, but I do not know of them: just this functionality would justify the expense of buying GeoRaptor if you had to pay for it, but you don't!
Please download the release from our central site and recommend it to other users of SQL Developer and Spatial.
Also, if you find bugs (a bug in the handling of null geometries in the validate geometry menu has already been fixed - no patch is available as yet for this) or want to request enhancements please visit the GeoRaptor SourceForge page and enter your bug/enhancement request.
Finally, GeoRaptor is an open source development project. If you want to join and help in any way (not just programming), just let us know.
regards
Simon

Re: GeoRaptor 3.2.1 Released for SQL Developer 3.x

Hey,
Referencing this that was posted in early September 2012:
GeoRaptor 3.2.1 Released for SQL Developer 3.x
I am supporting GRE's and the like at UC Berkeley and I really want to hook them up with this plug because it will make their life MUCH easier. But I have some pretty basic problems:
1. A VERY simply table that has an 8307 linestring. The query that GR defaults when the table is added :
SELECT rowid,"ID","NETWORK_ID","BEG_NODE_ID","END_NODE_ID","LENGTH","SPEED_LIMIT","DETAIL_LEVEL",
"IN_SYNCH","CREATED","MODIFIED","CREATED_BY","MODIFIED_BY","MODSTAMP","NET_GEN_ID",t.GEOM as GEOM
FROM VIA.LINKS_HOLD t
WHERE SDO_FILTER(t.GEOM,?,?) = 'TRUE'This seems to do something but nothing is ever displayed. The table definition is as follows:
CREATE TABLE LINKS_HOLD (
ID NUMBER,
NETWORK_ID NUMBER,
BEG_NODE_ID NUMBER,
END_NODE_ID NUMBER,
GEOM MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY ,
LENGTH NUMBER(9,3),

CREATED DATE,
MODIFIED DATE,
CREATED_BY VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
MODIFIED_BY VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
MODSTAMP TIMESTAMP (6),
NET_GEN_ID NUMBER
)And some sample data. I am only including the geometry
GEOM(SDO_GTYPE, SDO_SRID, SDO_POINT(X, Y, Z), SDO_ELEM_INFO, SDO_ORDINATES)

select geom from links_hold ;When I tried to run that the system responded with and error and pasted the following into the clipboard:
SELECT rowid, GEOM as GEOM FROM (
select
rowid,geom
from
via.links_hold
? MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2003,8307,NULL,MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,3),MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(-180.0,-165.78279266572636, 180.0,165.78279266572636))
? Please keep in mind that very same query will display all the links where I run in the generic map view (GMV) of SQLD and
since GMV has little in the way of additional features it is rather frustrating to see your tool not really working, or what
is more likely is that I have a lack of understanding because I cannot find documentation that will allow me to
move forward w/o bugging you.
So Any light you can throw on this would be of great assistance. Thanks much!

Flying Guy,
The non-display is a major bug that was discovered after GeoRaptor 3.2 was released. I knew it was there a few days after
the release - it got past our testers as well. I hoped to have a release out very soon after but a bunch of things conspired to
stop this from happening. Anyway, no one complained so I figured no one was using it enough to find the bug.
The bug is fixed which you can test if you download the Early Access release from our SourceForge website.
There are some other new functions in this EA that you might discover. The main one being the ability to have a feature count
(those drawn within the map window) displayed on the view / layer tree. See GeoRaptor preferences. Another is the restoration
of right mouse click menus on the sdo_geometry columns of table/mv/view connection nodes. Also, if a table has more than one
sdo_geometry column, the first is no longer selected if you right mouse click/map etc on table node. It will display a pick list
of sdo_geometry columns for you to chose from. (There has also been a major revamp of connection management as I noted
problems since SQL Developer 3.2.)
Please download and try it. Consider joining the GeoRaptor lists to help with testing and documenting. If you find bugs in
the EA please email the right georaptor list, or use the GeoRaptor SourceForge site to register the bug. Or email me
directly simon at spatialdbadvisor dot come.
I hope to have a release ready by the end of the week but I have not heard back from the small group of testers
that we have something that is ready to go.
Wrt documentation we have added some where users have created some for me with my input. Please volunteer to
create documentation.
The simple fact of life is that:
1. GeoRaptor is downloaded by lots and lots of people (a good thing).
But:
<complain>
2. Very few responses ever occur to postings made about GeoRaptor on this forum or on our sourceforge forum: disheartening;
3. Very few bug reports or enhancement requests ever get created at sourceforge: disheartening;
4. I have become the only developer which is a bad thing. I known of some Java developers who have used GeoRaptor but
most/all expect someone else to fix bugs or develop the tool. I have spend thousands of hours on a tool that I find useful because SQL Developer
is my main Oracle access tool. But I have never, ever heard from more than 10 people over the past 3 years that they too find it useful: disheartening;
5. Attempts to contact downloaders routinely fall on deaf ears or fail: disheartening;
6. Requests for documenters, developers, testers are ignored or fail because we can't contact anyone who downloads GeoRaptor: disheartening.
</complain>
Like a lot of open source projects I do not get paid for anything I do. But what annoys me is that no one - other than a tiny brace of people - will help with anything
even when we ask.
I have also decided that major new functionality added to GeoRaptor eg GeoRasters; WMS; WFS; etc will only be done when sufficient funding, via a fundraising website
makes a set amount. This is something that the PostGIS have started doing and I think it only fair considering how many months each year I spend on development "in
the dark" for no income.
regards
Simon

Oracle SQL Developer - File, Open , File Name Not Accept UNC Path Form

In Oracle SQL Developer, at least the File, Open (Dialog's), the File Name (if not all File / Directory Name) Text Box(es) is (are) not accepting, at least for me, the UNC Path Form of Folders on Network Servers. The same UNC Path (or UNC Paths in general) works in the File / Directory Name Text Box of every other Windows App I've tried (from Windows 95 to Windows 7). Is there a way to do this? If not, was it intentional and where can I suggest this as a fix / enhancement?
I'm using Windows XP w/ SP3.

DUH! I figured out what happened. In my first search, I searched (using "Actions", "Filter", "Column" option) for "Title Contains 'UNC'" which didn't find anything because the single-quotes were considered literals (which isn't consistent with the "Row" option or with the technical SQL syntax one would expect given technical operators like "!=", pffft, "!="??? Really???). Then, all subsequent searches returned nothing, because all previous searches are combined with implied "And" Operators until you select "Actions", "Reset" (which isn't consistent with any Web / Desktop App search feature I've ever seen). Don't get me wrong. The latter is a great feature. It just needs to be documented better.
It probably wouldn't hurt to: a) include easily visible tips on whether single / double quotes are needed and b) show an "And" Operator in front of each previous search listed so people won't mistake it for simply a Search Criteria History vs. Current Search Criteria, oh and add a heading that labels it as, oh, IDK, "Current Search Criteria", maybe? IDK, call me crazy (or just another stupid user posing as a developer with 16 years experience ;).
