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)

How to use Oracle SQL Developer 4.0 to connect to Ms Access file with .accdb extension

Hi all,
I am using Oracle SQL Developer 4.0 and Ms Access 2013 under Windows 7 (64 bits)
After browsing and selecting MS Access file with accdb extention, I got an error message :[Microsoft] " Data source name not found and no default driver specified".
On Administravitve Tools=> ODBC Data Source Administrator=>Drivers I have                                                File                                date

Would you please advise?
Thank you very much in advance

That MS Access driver is 64-bit, I think. If SQL Developer, or JDK is 32-bit you need to use the 32-bit driver.   You can see if you have a 32-bit driver installed using c:\windows\system32\odbcadm32.exe

How would we know? That's about the same as saying 'help, my car won't start. why won't my car start?'. Maybe you didn't put it in park, maybe you didn't put the key in the ignition, maybe you dont' have any gas. How would we know?
You have to provide detailed information about
1. what you are doing
2. how you are doing it
3. any errors or messages you are getting.
All you did is provide #3.
What are you doing? What database and version are you trying to connect to? What connection parameters did you use?

Sql developer closes when testing connection

I have windows 7 64 bit, but, also have ms office 32 bit, so, do need the 32 bit drivers.
If my path starts with the location of the 32 bit drivers and I test my oracle connection in sql developer with the oci thick driver checked, I get the error stating can't use the 32 bit drivers with a 64 bit machine (Status : Failure -Test failed: C:\app\32BitDrivers\product\11.2.0\client_3\ocijdbc11.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform).
If the thick driver is unchecked, I get:
Status : Failure -Test failed: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
I believe this is due to this database being set up to use something like a name validation server(?), because I can connect to another database that does not have that special authentication.
If I have the path set to the 64 bit driver, sql developer will close when I try to test the connection with either the oci thick driver checked or un-checked (and testing either of the 2 databases).
any ideas?

oh, btw, is the 32 bit driver sqora32.dll?
what would the 64 bit driver be named?

So, checking what java is running:
C:\>java -version
java version "1.7.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)
However, I have C:\oracle\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf showing
SetJavaHome C:\oracle\sqldeveloper\jdk1.6.0_45
Also, I thought that the loading 32 bit on 64 bit system message meant that sql developer was 64 bit. Does it matter is sql dev is 64 or 32 bit and how do I tell which it is?
Also, there is a log file that shows up in the sql dev bin folder that matches the time when the program closes, like hs_err_pid12380.log. It's showing:
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x000000006d9fd904, pid=13208, tid=8988
# JRE version: 6.0_45-b06
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (20.45-b01 mixed mode windows-amd64 compressed oops)
# Problematic frame:
# V [jvm.dll+0x11d904]
So, appears that it is using the version specified in the .conf file. However, not seeing useful info in the log file, probably cause there's so much there.
thanks
When I try to get it to use the 64 bit driver, sql developer just closes. So, not sure if I'm actually pointing to the right location or what.

Sql developer is able to connect, but NO toad or sqlplus or tns ping

Hi folks,
Come across an interesting situation, able to connect using sql developer, but no tns ping or toad or even sql plus too, what do you think, what is the problem and how to fix too.
Guidance/assistance will highly be appreciated.

ORA-12154 occurs when client requests a connection to some DB server system using some connection string.
The lookup operation fails because the name provided can NOT be resolved to any remote DB.
The analogous operation would be when you wanted to call somebody, but could not find their name in any phonebook.
The most frequent cause for the ORA-12154 error is when the connection alias can not be found in tnsnames.ora.
The lookup operation of the alias can be impacted by the contents of the sqlnet.ora file; specifically DOMAIN entry.

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"..

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.

Gary

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 3.1 JDBC connect to Teradata fail

I have the 3.1 release of Oracle SQL developer. I have the JDBC drivers for Teradata. I am tyring to get it to connect but it is failing. The error is very nondescript and of not much benefit. When I create the connection and put in the host name, user ID, default db, and password and click Test I get:
Status: Failure - Test failed: (null)
Below is the detail.
I put this same info into another SQL editor to test the drivers and it connected fine. So the driver and the info I am passing do not seem to be the problem.
Is there any insight into this error. ( I did see a thread about turning off SSO, except it is already turned off so that is not my issue)
Please help.

Hi,
I did a web search for TdgssConfigApi.GetMechanisms null pointer and got lots of hits, but couldn't find any one specific cause. Some had issues with the version of the driver, some with placement of jar files in the correct location (depending on the version, there are 2 or 3), others with the format of the jdbc connect string.
Try searching for and reading over some of these. Perhaps you can determine if any match your situation.
Good luck,
Gary

SQL Developer - how to limit rows in output

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 Developer "visits" each defined connection on startup

I am using SQL Developer 2.1.1.64. When I start it, it "visits" each defined connection. I'm using the term "visits" rather than "connects" because it doesn't auto-expand the entries in the Connections list, and it doesn't open up any SQL Worksheets. But it is DEFINITELY doing something which causes it to attempt to access each of the database servers (perhaps only to determine if a connection is possible).
Is there any way to turn this off?
The reason I ask: I have a number of connections pre-defined, for accessing customers' systems through a corporate VPN. Each time I access a customer system, the VPN prompts me to login and indicate a reason for access. I don't want to have to loop through all of those prompts every time I start SQL Developer.
Some of my colleagues are using older versions (1.2, 1.5), and they don't have this issue.

30EA1 - SQL-Developer 3.0.02 Connection Folder Bug

hi,
there are several treads concerning the poor "connection folder" (no sub-folders, folder-structure not in connection export,...) functionality...
Today i found an new annoying "feature". If you rename a connection within a folder and restart SQL Developer, you will find the connection outside at the bottom of the folders. If you rename all connections within a folder, the folder disappears after restart.
Its essential to reimplement the connection pane. The storage of the folder-structure outside "connections.xml" in "product-preferences.xml" will always be unmanageable!
