SQL Developer Export Issue

I could export the query results to XLS by clicking the right mouse button from the results and the export window pops up with the flile name and works fine. However when I run certain queries and tries to export results by clicking the right mouse button and choosing XLS the export windows does not pop up and I am unable to export the data. The query results has about 15 columns displayed and I am using Ver 1.5.5. Any help appreciated.

Hi,
The 1.5.5 version is rather old. Best to upgrade to the latest 3.1 production version. If the same problem still occurs, provide specifics about the query that fails on export to xls.

Gary

I see this is a duplicate thread. A while back we were getting lots of system generated duplicates. I hope that is not starting to happen again!

SQL Developer Export hangs - version 3.2.20.09

Hi,
I installed SQL Developer Version 3.2.20.09 Build MAIN-09.87 and try to export a query into csv file,
it hangs after writing 100 rows, I don't see the file grows on OS, the progress-bar keeps saying 100 row
I also tried .xls format, the problem remains.
the downloaded file is sqldeveloper-3.2.20.09.87.zip (with JDK included)
Your help is appreciated.

I ran export for a different SQL, the .csv file was generated.
Not sure if the issue I encounter is data-related. I want to point out that some of the return data contains ASCII control characters:
This is the exact SQL for the hanged-export:
select c.email_addr,c.job_title, regexp_replace(c.job_title,'[[:cntrl:]]','#'),
t.job_title, regexp_replace(t.job_title,'[[:cntrl:]]','#')
from HZ_IMP_CONTACTS_T t, my_contact c
where t.batch_id=100002764150299
and t.REL_ORIG_SYSTEM_REFERENCE = c.pr_dept_ou_id || ':' || c.row_id
and rownum < 200
Hope you can reproduce this issue.
Thanks,

SQL Developer export forgot to check to include semicolons in DDL

Hi,
I used the SQL Developers Export-function (select tables and right click on them, then select export) to backup tables.
However, I forgot to set the 'Abschlusszeichen' (sorry for the german). That apparently means my create table statements are not finished by an ';', and they sinmply don't execute using the @script.sql method, or the sql developers import-function.
One sql-file is 2 GB in size, so I currently have no idea how to edit it and add the semicolons manually. Is there any hope to rescue the data?
I'm running sql developer 3.2.20.09, oracle Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production as well as Windows 8.1
For clarification, this is how the create table part looks:
-- Datei erstellt -Montag-September-30-2013
-- DDL for Table ZZ_BEN_0
CREATE TABLE "PIERUSCHM"."ZZ_BEN_0"
   (    "BENUTZER_ID" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "NAME" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "GUELT_VON" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "GUELT_BIS" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "IST_KORREKTUR" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "IST_HALBTAGSKRAFT" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "LADE_DAT" DATE
-- DDL for Table ZZ_BEN_1
CREATE TABLE "PIERUSCHM"."ZZ_BEN_1"
   (    "BENUTZER_ID" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "NAME" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "GUELT_VON" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "GUELT_BIS" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "IST_KORREKTUR" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "IST_HALBTAGSKRAFT" NVARCHAR2(30),
    "LADE_DAT" DATE
-- DDL for Table ZZ_BEN_10

Also i'd like to add that the file begins with table definitions but then contains the actual (and randomly generated) data as well.
You still need to have the file regenerated or you should expect to have problems with ANY method you use to try to automatically 'fix' the problem.
1. No experienced developer that I have worked with would EVER try to execute such a monolithic script because there is virtually NO chance that a 2 GB script will EVER run successfully without an error of some sort. Objects have to be created in the proper order when dependencies exist between them. For example, you can't create an index if the table hasn't been created yet. There can even be circular references that will prevent all objects from being VALID even if they are created.
2. There is virtually NO chance that ANY method you use will put terminators in EXACTLY the right place without causing a problem of some sort.
3. When there is an error the script may continue to try to executed and that usually causes further errors. It also creates garbage objects that are not valid but will keep the script from working correctly the next time since the objects will already exist.
You need to create a SET of scripts that are of manageable size so that you can control the process of executing them in the proper order.
If you don't take the time to do that, up front, you are going to wasted a tremendous amount of time when the script fails trying to cut and paste the pieces you need out of that 'master' script.
There are NO SHORTCUTS: take the time to do it right the first time.

SQL Developer export files not visible

Hi All,
I've started using SQL Developer recently and I am completely new to this tool.
I've noticed a weird problem. All the export files and the folders I create from SQL Developer is not visible from the normal windows. Say I've executed a query and I need to export the output to a file. I right-click on the data grid; select Export Data -> xls/csv (anything) . I get a pop to mention the Location of the file. I click on Browse ; then select the location and then click on apply. I expect the file to be created. But when I go to that folder; I do not find any files.
To add on to my suprise; If i click on open a file and navigate to the above mentioned path; the pop-up shows that the file is present in that folder. But it is not visible from Windows. This is of no use as I cannot use those files.
BTW; version is 2.1.1.64
Note: I've also enabled the option of viewing all hidden files and folders in Windows.
Regards,
Arun

Hi Arun,
If you are using Windows Vista, Windows 7, or higher, and writing to a directory (like C:\, C:\Windows\, C:\Program Files\) that Microsoft wishes to protect from malware or just simple clutter , then you are running afoul of a redirect feature in the OS that puts the unwanted file in a VirtualStore folder for your user name, specifically:
C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\<full path where you think the file got stored>See the following for details:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/folder-redirect-in-windows-7/95218744-37e6-40cd-b890-2e647351df16
I just ran across this myself for the case of C:\ and perhaps this applies to your situation also.

SQL Developer Export Limitation of CLOB columns

Hello Everyone,
Would anyone happen to know if there is a column size limitation when exporting data (excel, text, etc) from the results query results pane? There appears to be a 4000 byte limitation. Specifically, I am attempting to export sql results that contain clobs which are storing XML messages.
Is this a known limitation and if so, is there any expectation of this being enhanced?
I am using the following:
Windows XP SP3
SQL Developer 2.1.0.63 (also happens on the 1.5 branch)
Oracle Server 10.2.0.4
Oracle Client 10.2.0.1
Thanks,
Ronnie

Yes, that's correct.
If you want this enhanced, add a request at the SQL Developer Exchange, so other users can vote and add weight for possible future implementation.

Sql developer debugger issue

I am using oracle sqldeveloper 1.0.0.15.57. Previously we were able to set up a breakpoint and step through a stored procedure inside a package.
We made sure all the previliges are on and the debugging did really work.
But after some time (no changes to the Database or to the setup configuration on my laptop), we are not able to step through the stored procedure in a package.
This is the logs we get:
Connecting to the database UAT_Staging.
Executing PL/SQL: ALTER SESSION SET PLSQL_DEBUG=TRUE
Executing PL/SQL: ALTER SESSION SET PLSQL_COMPILER_FLAGS=INTERPRETED
Executing PL/SQL: CALL DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP.CONNECT_TCP( '10.3.18.51', '1346' )
Debugger accepted connection from database on port 1346.
Processing 56 classes that have already been prepared...
Finished processing prepared classes.
Process exited.
Disconnecting from the database UAT_Staging.
Debugger disconnected from database.
We do get all the log statements indicating that the SP is running, but the control doesn't stop at the breakpoint, preventing us from debugging.
Can someone help, as to why this is happening?
Thanks
karthik

I guess you've bumped onto the HUGE breakpoint-line-bug.
I guess it's since developer cuts the first line in two:
CREATE OR REPLACE
PACKAGE BODY XXX AS
the line numbers internally are 1 off.
If you want to break at line 101, place the breakpiont at 100...
DEV TEAM, how long before you can fix this one? It's an ugly, error prone, dev time consuming bug!

Statement terminator problems when exporting data with SQL Developer 3.2

I've ran across what appears to be a bug with SQL Developer 3.2.20.09. If someone can let me know if this is indeed a bug, or just something I need to configure differently, please let me know.
The problem is related to exporting a database as a SQL script, and terminator characters at the end of "create" statements, especially when columns have comments, and problems that occur when using SQLPlus to run the export script to create the tables. With the old SQL Developer 1.5.4, with the "Terminator" and "Pretty Print" options checked, statements like the following are generated:
-- DDL for Type NUM_ARRAY
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "NUM_ARRAY"
IS TABLE OF NUMBER(20)
-- DDL for Sequence MYTABLE_SEQ
CREATE SEQUENCE "MYTABLE_SEQ" MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 CACHE 20 NOORDER NOCYCLE ;
-- DDL for Table MYTABLE
CREATE TABLE "MYTABLE"
(     "MYTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" NUMBER,
     "COL3" NUMBER
-- DDL for Table ANOTHERTABLE
CREATE TABLE "ANOTHERTABLE"
(     "ANOTHERTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" VARCHAR2(1024),
     "COL3" VARCHAR2(1024)
COMMENT ON COLUMN "ANOTHERTABLE"."ANOTHERTABLE_ID" IS 'This is a comment.';
When I then run the script using SQLPlus, everything works fine. However, with SQL Developer 3.2.20.09, with the same options enabled, the same statements are generated like this:
-- DDL for Type NUM_ARRAY
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "NUM_ARRAY"
IS TABLE OF NUMBER(20)
-- DDL for Sequence MYTABLE_SEQ
CREATE SEQUENCE "MYTABLE_SEQ" MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 CACHE 20 NOORDER NOCYCLE ;
-- DDL for Table MYTABLE
CREATE TABLE "MYTABLE"
(     "MYTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" NUMBER,
     "COL3" NUMBER
-- DDL for Table ANOTHERTABLE
CREATE TABLE "ANOTHERTABLE"
(     "ANOTHERTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" VARCHAR2(1024),
     "COL3" VARCHAR2(1024)
COMMENT ON COLUMN "ANOTHERTABLE"."ANOTHERTABLE_ID" IS 'This is a comment.';
Notice all of the extra slashes in there. If a slash is not used as a statement terminator, SQLPlus treats slashes as a command to repeat the last SQL statement, which causes many errors about tables or sequences already existing. So, I tried removing the "Terminator" flag from the export options. This lead to statements that looked a bit more promising:
-- DDL for Type NUM_ARRAY
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "NUM_ARRAY"
IS TABLE OF NUMBER(20)
-- DDL for Sequence MYTABLE_SEQ
CREATE SEQUENCE "MYTABLE_SEQ" MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 CACHE 20 NOORDER NOCYCLE
-- DDL for Table MYTABLE
CREATE TABLE "MYTABLE"
(     "MYTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" NUMBER,
     "COL3" NUMBER
-- DDL for Table ANOTHERTABLE
CREATE TABLE "ANOTHERTABLE"
(     "ANOTHERTABLE_ID" NUMBER,
     "COL2" VARCHAR2(1024),
     "COL3" VARCHAR2(1024)
COMMENT ON COLUMN "ANOTHERTABLE"."ANOTHERTABLE_ID" IS 'This is a comment.'
The big problem, though, is in the statement for the table with a comment. Notice that there are two statements, but there is not a semicolon after either of them. This unfortunately causes the "COMMENT" statement to be appended to the "CREATE TABLE" statement before being executed, which causes the table to not be created (which causes even more errors later on when the script attempts to populate the table with data).
So, it would appear that this is a bug, but I'm not sure. Is there a way I can configure the export options to make SQL Developer export these statements like it used to in older versions?
Thanks,
-Bill

SQL Developer:Problem with multi byte size after import using excel format

Hi,
Need your help. I am trying to export multibyte characters from our China instance(r11i instance) using SQL Developer's export data via Excel format into an R12 Vision instance. I have a staging table with exactly the same structure in both instances. Prior to export to excel, I check the byte size of the sample data below using LENGTH and LENGTHB sql functions and these are the results:
Sample data = 材料LI（USD）
LENGTH=9
LENGTHB=13
Then, I exported the table as excel file. Afterwards, I used SQL Developer to import the excel file into the table of the target instance. I check the bytesize again and here are the results:
Sample data = 材料LI（USD）
LENGTH=9
LENGTHB=17
The byte size increased from 13 to 17. I did not change anything on the excel file. Just straight forward export to excel file then imported it to the target instance. How come there is an increase in byte size? Has anyone encountered this in SQL Developer? We really need to export the files as excel.
Source:
Database version = 9.2.0.5.0
Target:
Database version = 11.1.0.7.0

Wendell

Wendell,
This forum is for handling issues migrating from non-Oracle databases to Oracle databases.
As this is an Oracle to Oracle issue using SQL*Developer export it would be better to open a new thread in the SQL*Developer forum -

There will be more people there who can help with this problem.

Issue 3:
     After issue 2 occurs, selecting Export from the context menu causes the application to freeze with no further exceptions.
Notes:
I am able to reproduce this every time for a specific long-running query which completes normally after 260-290 seconds. I cannot reproduce this issue for queries which complete rapidly (i.e. select * from table).

On Issue 1:
As MRM has said, this was posted several times for 1.1.2 and I noticed the (null) in the Help -> About window with 1.1.2. I have now upgraded to 1.1.3 via check for updates and I don't get the (null) anymore, so I would guess that you are still on 1.1.2. Note that my Help -> About shows Version 1.1.2.25.79, with the 1.1.3.27.66 version only appearing in the Extension tab.
On Issue 3:
1.1.3.27.66 (as per Extensions) runs queries twice to export - once to show the data in the Results (ie 1st 260-290 seconds) and once again when exporting (ie 2nd 260-290 seconds).
1.1.2.25.79 (as per Extensions) runs queries three times to export - once to show the data in the Results (ie 1st 260-290 seconds), once as part of opening the Export dialog (ie 2nd 260-290 seconds) and once again when exporting (ie 3rd 260-290 seconds).
This means that if you are really still on 1.1.2 it will take up to 5 minutes for the Export dialog to appear :(

SQL Developer 3.2 - Exporting data with TIMESTAMP datatype

Hi,
We have users that are attempting to export data with the Timestamp format to Excel (xls format) using SQL Developer 3.2. When attempting to sort the Timestamp in either asc or desc order, Excel is having issues sorting correctly. I suggested that the user just do all the sorting within their SQL Developer session but they require the ability to slice and dice in Excel.
This is definitely not an issue with Excel as the users have previously exported Timestamp data from Toad and been able to sort without issue. Any thoughts as to what might resolve this issue?
Thanks.

We're not formatting timestamps in Oracle as numbers/dates in Excel. They'll need to properly format the Excel column/cells to get it to sort the way they want vs being treated as simple strings.

Sql Developer 3.1 - Exporting a result set in xls generates and empty file

Ever since upgrading to the Production version SQL Developer 3.1 (3.1.07) it appears that there is an issue when attempting to export a result set as a .xls format.
If I attempt to export in .xls format, the exported file is an empty file (i,e no output). When I change the export type to txt, csv or xlsx the results are exported as expected.
This appears to be a bug introduced in the Production version as I was successfully able to perform these tasks on the various 3.1 EA releases.
Am I alone in this, have I misconfigured something or is this a bug?

I keep having problems exporting to XLSX - mostly in cases where the data is voluminous and the format would be preferable over plain XLS as it does not have the 65krows limit ;-{ The data is read to the data grid (sometimes fast, sometimes much slower and "in chunks"), then the "task progress" won't move anymore, and the export file remains empty; If I cancel the task, trying to export again results in a message stating that sqldeveloper still has the output file locked.
