What does that have to do with SQL Developer?
You can limit the rows a query returns by using ROWNUM
SELECT * FROM myTable where rownum < 11If you just need column info you can describe the table
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> desc dept
Name                                      Null?    Type
DEPTNO                                    NOT NULL NUMBER(2)
DNAME                                              VARCHAR2(14)
LOC                                                VARCHAR2(13)

  • In the SQL Developer how to set Indentation in preferences?

    I am using SQL developer version 1.5.1 BuildMain 5440. In the Tools --> Preferences--> Database --> SQL Formatter --> Alignment and Indentations, I see Indentation on the right panel which shows drop down and spaces, and there is a check box option "Use tabulator". It is disabled for me. How do I make that enable? I want to use this in my formatting.

    You need to disable the first option "Right-Align Master Keywords"..

  • Newbie to sql developer, how to stop a query

    Hi All,
    A very basic question and I've searched through this forum and Tom's site, i think i read it somewhere but i forgot where and what it was.
    How can I stop a query running in Sql Developer with what key combination?
    Ctrl-C D E Q .........., help!
    When I 'leave' for another application there a nice grey screen appearing so i can't use the buttons.
    Thanks in advance and my appologies if there is an answer already and I didn't find it.

    A query in the worksheet can be stopped using the Cancel button in the worksheet's toolbar (the 5th button). Hovering over it, you see the default hotkey assigned is "Ctrl-Q".
    If you get a gray screen means your SQL Developer locked up. There's currently no way of canceling what is locking him up. You could kill its session, but that's pretty radical and takes its share of time fining out what to kill and how.
    What another user on this forum (EricH) suggested, is running 2 SQL Developers side by side. When 1 locks up, he uses the other one. Although I'd like SQL Developer in the future to run it's queries in separate sessions by itself, thus preventing the whole program to lock up.

  • SQL Developer, how to save connections in a Citrix envrionment

    We have SQL Developer deployed in Citrix. The user creates new connections and saves them and exits the applicaiton. When they return to the applicaiton the connections are gone. How can I make these persistent? Where are these connections stored, in a file somewhere?
    Thanks for your patience and support

    Not exactly but very close. You pointed me in the right direction, thank you for your assistance
    I found the file at Application Data\SQL Developer\system2.1.1.64.45\o.jdeveloper.db.connection.11.1.1.2.36.55.30\connections.xml
    I guess this might be version specific, we are running, Oracle SQL Developer (2.1.1.64)

  • SubVersion in SQL Developer - how to link to packages and procedures

    My question is this - I am starting out using SubVersion in Oracle and it seems pretty straightforward to use as a source control for files that are stored in a Windows directory, that is the only way I have used it so far.
    Am I able to use it to control packages and procedures that I have saved as part of my database, ie the procedures are part of a package and the package appears within the Packages section of the appropriate connection in SQL Developer.
    I hope this makes sense.
    Cheers,
    JabJam

    Hi JabJam,
    So far, everyone is correct. SQL Developer just uses a file-based source control system (e.g., SVN), which means updating database object definitions via scripts under version control, or somehow exporting the new definition to a script so it can be version controlled after the fact. And wouldn't it be nice if the database objects could be version controlled directly. With the database developer having control over when any changes are committed for shared use in the database. Similar to using the SVN plug-in for an IDE like Eclipse for a given programming language in a shared development environment.
    But what would your DBA have to say about that? Don't most DBAs require scripts for deploying code or structural changes?
    In Oracle, definitions (DDL) are committed automatically. Anyone granted access sees them. Since you probably don't do development directly against a production database, eventually scripts (either manual or generated) will be needed for deployment to QA or production. Few mechanisms currently exist to work against an active database without other authorized users also seeing these changes.
    For DDL, the closest thing would be the fairly recent edition-based redefinition feature in 11g (R2, I think). For DML, the OWM (Oracle Workspace Management) feature would be loosely analogous.
    This is not a simple issue. Version control via an extension for Subversion provides essential basic support. Going beyond that might mean watching the evolution of edition-based redefinition, but DBAs would probably require scripts for that too.

  • How to limit row number per group without change new page in crystal report

    Hi All Expert,
    Is there any way to limit row number per group without change new page in crystal report 2008. The reason i do that is due to customer using printer EPSON LQ 300 (dot matrix) always will print in landscape if detech my layout in landscape. Because they need the record always print in 1 page (Letter size) for 2 groups and each group must show 5 records. Example:
    But, in CR2008, if you set the row per group from group section expert, definitely it will change to new page, but I do not want it change to new page. Any Idea?
    In one page (Letter size):
    Group Name: Customer-ABC
    NO  INVOICE  AMOUNT
    1)   INV001     USD100
    2)   INV002     USD100
    3)   INV003     USD100
    4)   INV004     USD100
    5)   INV005     USD100
    Group Name: Customer-ABC
    NO  INVOICE  AMOUNT
    6)   INV006     USD100
    7)   INV007     USD100
    8)   INV008     USD100
    9)   INV009     USD100
    10)  INV010     USD100

    Hi Angie.....
    I guess it is not possible.
    Because if you have one common group for all the 10 records then in one page it will show 10 records under one group.
    I mean i think it is not possible but m not completely sure......
    Lets wait for expert advise....

  • SQL Developer: How do I copy data with Column Headers from the output grid?

    Hello,
    I am using Version 2.1.1.64.
    I run a SQL query, I get the results grid in the "Query Result" window down below. Say I get 10 rows returned, with 5 columns.
    I want to Copy this entire grid, plus the column headers/names, to the clipboard. So I can paste it under the original query to document the results of that query.
    I can't find any way to do this. I can copy/paste the results grid, but it doesn't copy the headers.
    The only way I see to do it is to go through numerous steps to Export to a TXT file, then paste that. Unfortunately, that is a lot of wasted steps if I need to do this over and over, plus, the output gets pasted in an ugly format with double quotes, etc.
    It seems like the simplest functionality is to copy/paste the entire results grid, and of course you might the headers. Why is this so complicated/impossible to do?
    (I believe Toad has the same problem. DBArtisan allows you to copy/paste the entire results, plus headers, though.)
    Any assistance would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    John

    Ah, ok...
    I had tried that before, and it didn't work, it seemed to copy the path of filename I was using. But I think that was because I had clicked on a Column Header first, and it had asked me if I wanted to filter. I think then it lost track that it was in the grid. It's a little flukey.
    What I did now was to click on an individual cell in the output, then hit CTRL-A to select all, then hit SHIFT-CTRL-C. That gives me exactly what I want.
    Thanks very much for your quick solution, I appreciate it!

  • How to limit rows for a table?

    Hi,
    does anyone knows a good way to limit the number of rows for a table?

    You can limit the number of rows using a trigger. Below is quick and dirty example that has not been fully tested.
    test@ORCL> create table rowlimit (col1 number);
    Table created.
    Elapsed: 00:00:00.34
    test@ORCL> create or replace trigger limit_rows
      2  before insert
      3  on rowlimit
      4  declare
      5    v_count number;
      6  begin
      7     select count(*)
      8     into v_count
      9     from rowlimit;
    10
    11     if v_count >= 4 then
    12       raise_application_error(-20000, 'Table can have no more then 4 rows');
    13     end if;
    14  end;
    15  /
    Trigger created.

  • SQL - INSTR - how return a row PER HIT in a record

    I need to return the start position for every time my search string is found in the target column of my record. Normally INSTR() will just return a rec for the first hit.
    E.g. I need the search for "HIGH" in "3 HIGH ROAD, HIGHMOOR, HIGHBURY" to bring back 3 rows for the start positions 3, 14 and 24.
    I can do this with [ignoring the Where instr() > 0 bits]
    Select instr(Address, 'HIGH', 1) Start_Pos from Address
    union select instr(Address, 'HIGH', 1+instr(Address, 'HIGH', 1)) from Address
    union select instr(Address, 'HIGH', instr(Address, 'HIGH', 1+instr(Address, 'HIGH', 1))) from Address;
    but that's not very elegant or self extensible (it only finds 3 hits).
    Any suggestions please?
    Many thanks, Ian Jones (TVP)

  • Connecting to Oracle DB on Ubuntu 8.04 using SQL Developer

    Hi,
    I managed to install Oracle 11g on Ubuntu 8.04 using this guide:
    http://www.pythian.com/blogs/968/installing-oracle-11g-on-ubuntu-804-lts-hardy-heron
    But I don't remember the Username or SID, that's why I keep on getting ORA-12505 from SQL DEVELOPER
    How can I get those missing informations?

    But I don't remember the Username or SIDAssuming your DB is up and running, you can find out the SID by :
    $ ps -ef | grep smon | grep -v grep
    oracle   15298     1  1 10:59 ?        00:00:00 ora_smon_db11
    $ here db11 is the SID.
    About username, you can create one. Use Sql*Plus and OS authentication :
    $ export ORACLE_SID=<your SID>
    $ sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL> CREATE USER

  • SSRS - Oracle Stored procedure returns no data but does in SQL Developer Sudio

    HI there,
    Stored procedure returns no data when executed on the report but when i execute the stored procedure in Sql Developer it returns required rows.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Simon,
    When i test with simple query, i get the data.
    For your convenience, my stored proc looks lyk :
    PROCEDURE pr_REPORT_data(P_STARTDATE IN DATE, P_ENDDATE IN DATE, data_rows OUT T_CURSOR) AS 
    OPEN completed_Reinstatement FOR
      SELECT 
                 value1,.......value5
      FROM table1
    WHERE
        To_Date(createdDate, 'YYYY/MM/DD') BETWEEN To_Date(P_STARTDATE, 'YYY/MM/DD') AND To_Date(P_ENDDATE, 'YYYY/MM/DD');
    END pr_REPORT_data;          
    T_CURSOR is of type cursor which is declared on the package.
    I'm assuming the problem is with date parameters, however i converted the date before passing to
    WHERE clause.
