SQL Developer Installation Problems

Hi,
We are trying to find a workable alternative to TOAD and have tried to install SQL Developer with not much success.... I think I am just about to give up but hope this last attempt to post for help can create a miracle.
I would appreciate very much if any one knows of a comprehensive document out there that can help trouble shoot the installation problems.
Let me give you the hardware and software versions first and then the problems.
1) SQL Developer tried: sqldeveloper-1.2.1.3213-no-jre and sqldeveloper-1.2.1.3213
2) JRE tried: JRE 1.5 and JRE 6 (C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03)
3) Window: XP Professional version 2002 Service pack 2
4) Hardware: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80 GHz, 1.98 GB of RAM
Problems:
1) SQL Developer could not find native JDBC. I don't understand why, despite all the variables set in Oracleclient10g_basic in the registry, SQL Developer did not seem to be able to find a 10g client on a network drive. I have to install 10g client directly onto my pc (C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1) to solve this problem.
2) SQL Developer abruptly disappeared after database login.
I was able to connect and log into an Oralce 10g database with TNS Connect Identifier approach. There were objects (tables, views, etc) showed up briefly on the left hand side of the SQL Developer and then it just completely disappeared without even an error message or a tearful good-bye.
The only thing I can find is this error log about EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. After hours searching through OTN for possible mentioning of this error with SQL Developer, I found nothing so far.
Why is it so difficult to install SQL Developer? Are there a set of un-spoken pre-requisites that has to be satisfied before it can be installed properly? If so, what are they? Path system variable? Registry? Anything else?
Here's the complete EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error log:
# An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:

Is this a java problem? SQL Developer problem? Or something else?
Thanks in advance,
a TOAD lover

The problem you are seeing (the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION) is a result of a version mismatch between the JDBC driver being used by SQL Developer and the Oracle client that is found on the path.
This issue only occurs when trying to use the OCI version of the JDBC driver. The simplest fix is to switch to using the basic connection type and thus using the thin (all Java) JDBC driver. As no Oracle client is required in this case, the version mismatch won't be an issue.
However, the connection approach you are using should work, and if you wish to try to sort out the problems there, we should be able to further diagnose the underlying cause of the version mismatch.
To do this, I would need to see what SQL Developer thinks are the potential Oracle client installs, as well as which install it ends up picking. Can you copy/paste the output in the Log Window (Logging Page) that is present after SQL Developer starts (but before you attempt to connect to any database)? There should be a whole series of entries like 'Checking for ORACLE_HOME environment variable' and 'Checking JDBC driver at <some path>'
These log entries are output by SQL Developer as it tries to sort out the various bits of information about Oracle client installs and thus give a peek at the selection logic being used.
Oh, and also - the value of your PATH variable would be useful as well. It may be that there is an Oracle client install on the PATH that supersedes the install SQL Developer is finding via the registry or ORACLE_HOME variable.

  • Sql developer installation problem

    Hi,
    trying to make new connection, without installing any other oracle software of database software in my pc, I receive the message " the network adapter could not establish the connection. Hostname is localhost, port is 1521 and SID is xe or orcl or any other. Should I install client in order to make connection?
    Thank you

    Follow the below stpes
    1. Download the oracle database installation document (available in PDF format on google search).
    2. Download the oracle database product build from the oracle website.
    3. Perform the installation as per the manual.
    4. Configure the listener and then create the database using the Database Configuration Assistant or Enterprise Manager.
    5. Connect the database via the SQL developer tool.
    This should solve the issue for you.

  • How to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?

    Folks,
    Hello. I am using Oracle Database 11gR1. The Database Control Console https://localhost.localdomain:1158/em works correctly. I can create a Database and a table successfully.
    My OS is Linux and connects to internet successfully.
    In order to run SQL statements. we need to use Oracle SQL Developer. I connect Oracle SQL Developer in the following way:
    Connection Name: DB1 (this is my database name as well)
    Username: SYS (this is the user name I used to login to the Console)
    Password: SYS (this the password used to login to the Console)
    Connection Type: Basic
    Host Name: localhost
    Port: 1158
    SID: DB1 (this is created during installing the Database)
    But the error message comes up: "Status: Failure - IO exception Connection Reset."
    Can any folk tell me how to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?

    Can any folk tell me how to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?username: sys
    password: enter_your_correct_password given at the time of oracle installation
    role: select sysdba if you would connect as sysdba else select normal for users other than sys
    hostname: enter your oracle server hostname or ip address eg:- 192.168.11.12
    to find the hostname open terminal/command prompt in oracle installed machine
    type ---> hostname
    type ---->ping hostname
    you can find the ipaddress of the server
    port number: 1521 (default) ----> i guess , else check the port number in the tnsnames.ora file under your ORACLE_HOME/network/admin folder
    SID: DB1
    try it
    Good Luck

  • Is it possible to query software inventory report for Oracle SQL developer installation?

    Hi all
    My company requires to generate a report of all kinds of Oracle database access tool. I can find Toad installation from Add/Remove Program and therefore can query for Toad.
    However, Oracle SQL developer is using Java. I cannot see an entry for Oracle SQL developer from Add/Remove Program. Is there a way to query inventory for Oracle SQL developer installation?
    Thanks a lot.
    Regards
    Lic

    You might be able to use software inventory to report on the version of sqldeveloper.exe.

    Recently i installed Oracle 11g but i could not connect sql developer. when i click sql developer icon it show pop-up box....
    "*Enter the fullpath name for java.exe*".
    i dont know from where i can get this path so that i can open sql developer.

    It's asking for an installed JDK 1.6
    If you do not have it you can download one from here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u30-download-1377139.htmlMind you need the 64 bit JDK if you want to use the 64 bit SQLDeveloper and the 32 bit JDK for use with the 32 bit SQLDeveloper.
    If you want to use the 32 bit SQLDeveloper you can also download the version with bundled JDK from here:
    http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper-3.0.04.34.zipthis will not ask for a java.exe since a JDK in included in the package.

  • Where to find help with SQL Developer installation?

    Hi,
    I just want to try out SQL Developer and compare its capabilities to TOAD's. Unfortunately, I am not PC software savvy and now am stuck with a SQL Developer (sqldeveloper-1.2.2998) installation problem. When I clicked on the .exe file, I got a blank SQL Developer screen - there is nothing in the screen except a heading that reads 'Oracle SQL Developer'...
    Does anyone know of a blog or a site that I can get some help with problems like mine?
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Hi,
    SQL Developer forum link:
    "http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=260"
    There are 2 versions of SQL Developer, with/without JRE.
    Try out the full install version with JRE.

  • Oracle Sql Developer Installation

    Hi Guys,
    I will be using oracle sql developr at my place and currently installed it at my personal pc.I am very new to the Oracle Sql Developer.
    I am not able to connect to the Oracle sql Developer.I have Oracle 9i db and oracle forms 10G running and installed Oracle SQL Developer.
    null

    You don't actually say what problem you are having. What error message are you getting?
    Connection name - this is just a label, it can be anything.
    username:scott
    pswd:tiger
    Role:default
    Connection Type:Basic
    Hostname: This is the host name of the database server. If the database is installed locally, then that will be your PC's name.
    port:1521 1521 is a default setting. It is probably right, but you need to check. If it is a local installation, open up a command window and type lsnrctl status
    SID; This is the database name. You should enter this, OR service name but not both.
    service name:<my db name>

  • SQL Developer installation

    Is there any problem to install SQL Developer (required JAVA 1.5) on top of an existing Oracle server 10g with JAVA 1.4.2?

    What I meant is installing additional JAVA 1.5 on the system (that's what the installation guide suggested downloading from sun website), so both can be linked and working independently. By the way, the OS is linux.
    Thanks!

  • SQL developer connecting problem

    Hi,
    our remote server has oracle 8 and Oracle 10G. Oracle 8 installs very long before and oracle 10G installs today.
    As sql developer cannot support to 8i; when i try to connect to oracle 10G i get the following error. ORA-12505
    I have oracle in my laptop and can connect via sqlplus but cannot connect with sql developer.
    C:\>sqlplus sys as [email protected]:1521/xxxx
    password:
    SQL>
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Not sure if you are running two listeners (one for 8i, one for 10g) on that server. When I had problems connecting to 10g XE and 11g running on the same server, each with its own listener, I read that disabling the 10g listener and updating the 11g listener.ora and tnsnames.ora with entries for 10g solved everything. Always use the listener for the newer Oracle release. Possibly you do not have control over the listener configurations on the server, but this is something to consider.
    And here is a thread from a different forum with opinions on when single or multiple listener configurations might be preferred (and some info on how to do it):

  • SQL Developer compilation problems

    Hi, I'm having problems with SQL Developer.
    Basically, I can only carry out 3 compilations (3 of the same object, or one each of different objects) before SQL Developer gives me an out-of memory error:

    Error : java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap spacebuilding KRM_UPDATE_ARCHIVE_DES
    I then can't do anything except log out and back in - very annoying!

    Hi Jim - thanks for your help.
    I'm using update 10. The output from the console is below - The issue was the preferences I imported were set to Windows look and feel, so I've resolved that, but the new version behaves exactly like the old version. Do you know if the dev team are regulars in here, or if there is an alternate route to report this (the original problem) to them?
    Cheers,
    Stuart

  • SQL Developer usage problem

    Hi All
    I have installed sql developer V 4.1 to my computer and all the necessary java apllications have been installed. When i opened the program menu screens can only be shown when i get my cursor over it as shown in the below. İ have format my OS system because i think this can be because of my region and registy settings. So at the final  i have a fresh Windows 8.1 Eng X64 Ent edition. and up to dated java version but same problem.
    Please give an opinion to me
    Thanks.

    Hi Jeff,
    I would like add some input:
    I have similar issue, but in different case.
    SQL Developer installed on real Win7 machine (no virtual)  and uses the appropriate jdk (latest in each case: 7 for v4.1 EA1 and 8 for v4.1.EA2).
    It works fine and correct on the desktop, but when I try to continue my task over Remote Desktop its behavior is like as the described one.
    And I have feeling that happens during switches from v3.x to v4.x (sorry don't remember exactly).
    Hope it helps in your investigation.
    Best Regards

  • Oracle SQL Developer installation and Java

    I finished installing Oracle Client without problems. Opened up SQL Developer for the first time and he asks me for the full Java.exe pathname.
    That's fine, but when I input the java.exe I just get asked again, no errors. Repeat until infinity.
    I installed the newest Java SDK and tried both 32-bit and 64-bit versions (jdk 7u4). I even tried installing Oracle Client version 11.1.0 AND 11.2.0 to see if that make any difference, but it's all the same.
    I have uploaded a screenshot if that helps: http://i50.tinypic.com/mjtqte.jpg
    Any ideas?

    Hi Gunnar.
    Documentation:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25259_01/doc.31/e26419/install.htm#sthref8
    Ideas:
    -Do not use java7
    -Use JDK not JRE
    -On widows there is a version of SQLDeveloper including java 6 jdk
    -Instant client is not required - but if you want to use it use at least 11.2.0.2
    -Updated SetJavaHome in sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf to point to the JDK
    -There is some confusion over 32bit and 64bit Operating System, java and SQLDeveloper, you can search the forum for details, eg: thread title: "Unable to start Oracle SQL Developer"

    SQL Developer is a 'client' tool.  It is pretty much worthless without a database to connect to.  You can't execute SQL statements without a database.  The database can be either on your local machine (where you have installed SQL Dev) or on a remote machine.  To get a database on your own machine, you will need to download Oracle Database, install it, and create a database.  Be sure to read the installation guide for installation prereqs, including certified operating systems.

  • SQL DEVELOPER INSTALLATION ERROR

    Hi Guru's,
    My OS : Linux
    DB : Oracle 10g
    When i am trying to install Oracle Sql Developer, I am getting the below error:
    Type the full pathname of a J2SE installation (or Ctrl-C to quit), the path will be stored in ~/.sqldeveloper/jdk
    I install jdk-7u9-linux-i586.rpm but i am still getting this error, wheather i need to set some path
    KIndly advice over the same.

    This is not really an error it's just SQLDeveloper requesting a JDK to run.
    You should supply a valid JDK 1.6.X path, where X should be the latests release of JDK6.
    on average linux systems a valid path should look like this
    /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_37JDK 7 is not officially supported yet, and there are known issues on it, so i'd advise you to install the latest JDK6 and use that.

  • SQL Developer install problems for Windows 7 Home edition

    Hi there,
    I understand Windows 7 64-bit is not supported for oracle 11gR2 but I installed it anyway.
    This is not my problem.
    I am trying to install SQL Developer and am getting this error when I click on the set up:
    Unable to launch the Java Virtual machine, located at path:
    C:\Program Files(x86)Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin\msvcr71.dll
    When I check the version of my java it is correctly displaying 1.6.0_21 for my 64 bit.
    I read that you need the 32 bit one installed as well and I do. In my Program Files there is a java and a \jdk1.6.0_21 folder. In the bin directory it does not have this .dll:
    msvcr71.dll
    Is that the problem, because i have heard of other people getting sql developer working on their Windows 7 home laptops but they are old posts and I'm not getting any reply.
    I also changed the Environmental variable for the path, such as:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21 /bin
    and none of the 3 above worked for me either.
    Any suggestions are appreciated!

    I unzipped the sql developer download to C:\Windows and it unzipped fine. I went into my folder of sql developer, double clicked the sql developer.exe and it asked for the path for java. I clicked Browse and the default was C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin so I chose the java from this folder. It accepted the argument, tried to start sql developer, and came up with the same error, so something is still not right that I am not understanding??
