SQL Developer Migation Tool - formating generated SQL

I am using SQL Developer version 2.1.1.64 to migrate MS SQL server to ORACLE via the Migration tool.
My question is : Is there a way to format the generated ORACLE code?
The reason I ask, our developmet team has coding standards for creating procedures. For example, use TABs for identation, not spaces.
I changed the profiles under the SQL formatted (Tools>Preferences>Database>SQL Formatter>ORACLE Formatting) but it does not seam to affect the generation output.
The code is always generated using spaces.

Ctrl-shift-f7 invokes the formatter. This can be defaulted to your standards by choosing them from the preferences.

SQL Developer 1.5.1 's SQL worksheet. - Verifying Results

Using SQL Developer 1.5.1 's SQL worksheet....
is there a way to get SQL Developer 1.5.1 's SQL Worksheet to display the number of records deleted, updated, etc? I just deleted a record and I couldn't tell if it actually ran or not.
When I ran a 'select' it displayed the records in the results window. When I ran the delete, it didn't show anything. I just tried an update and it shows nothing either. I don't want to do a commit without knowing how many records were affected.
Thanks...

Assuming you are running your SQL as statements (F9), the status bar at the bottom left will provide the feedback for each statement - in the case of deletes/updates it should show the number of records deleted/updated. As the status line is overwritten with each statement, you will need to check after each statement completes. When running your SQL as scripts (F5) the feedback will be displayed on the Script Output tab.

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

SQL Developer 3.0.04 generated scripts not compatible with Oracle 10g (XE)

HI,
I tried to do an export from one XE database (still 10g) to another XE database. (also 10g).
I tried to do a database copy as well as a separate export and import (by loading the file and running as a script).
Neither of them work without modifying the files as it seems that SQL Developer generates scripts that are only compatible with Oracle 11g.
- Create table contains "segment creation automatic"
- Storage clauses contain parts that are not compatible with 10g
I ran through the wizard several times but neither can I find an option to choose for compatibility with earlier versions of Oracle.
Checked the preferences screen as well.
Is this a well hidden option or is it not possible to make this work for 10g.
Extra : found workaround by removing the storage clause to the export. Is there another way that does not force me to remove the storage clause?
Edited by: kcaluwae on 24-jun-2011 6:03

I'm sure this is far from the supported way to fix this but, seeing that it's apparently an issue with the classpath or something in it, I hacked <sqldeveloper_install>\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.bat and added [ORACLE_HOME]\jdbc\lib\ojdbc6.jar to the classpath. At least that gets me started with 3.0 and lets me create TNS connections.
I'd really appreciate a better solution, if any of you kind folks knows of something.
Thanks,

SQL Developer: Right-click format doesn't work right with DATE datatype

Hi All!
Currently I'm using version SQL Developer Version 3.1.05.
Got a question regarding the 'auto-format' of syntax whenever writing in the code editor.
If you take this snippet of code and drop it into a worksheet, then highlight it, right click the mouse, then select "format" it's like it fails to add the proper spacing when it runs into the DATE datatype. I looked all through the : preferences > database > sql formatter > oracle formatting > edit and couldn't find anything regarding the formatting with date types.
Am I looking in the wrong area?? Is this a known bug? Having trouble searching for this exact issue too. I LOVE the format feature, but I hate having to go to each date type and manually spacing it out to make everything look 'clean'. I'm picky I guess :P I can live with it but figured I'd ask.
type TEMP_REC
IS
record
ORG_CODE VARCHAR2(15),
PROJECT VARCHAR2(15),
WBS VARCHAR2(30),
SERIAL_NO VARCHAR2(30),
QTY_ORDERED NUMBER,
QTY_SCRAPPED NUMBER,
QTY_COMPLETE NUMBER,
BOM_ID NUMBER,
REQUEST_DATE DATE,
CREATE_DATE DATE,
REL_DATE DATE,
START_DATE DATE,
NEED_DATE DATE,
DUE_DATE DATE,
COMPLETE_DATE DATE,

MODIFIED_BY VARCHAR2(30),
MODIFY_DATE DATE,
EST_HOURS NUMBER(6,2),
ACT_HOURS NUMBER(6,2),
BAD_COMMENTS VARCHAR2(1000) );

Hello,
I put 3.1.07 as you'd suggested. Seems the problem is still occuring for me... probably a user preference though ;)
Open a new worksheet and drop this in, highlight everything, right-click and choose "format". All the keywords (varchar2, number, etc) should align on themselves making it look nice. I have mine set up to line-break after a comma. (I can't get it to format properly as I type it here onto the forums, so added a bunch of spaces to try to mimic it in this view)
type TEMP_REC
IS
record
LEAD_TIME NUMBER(5,0),
SCRAP_PERCENT NUMBER,
CREATED_BY VARCHAR2(30),
MODIFIED_BY VARCHAR2(30),

BOM_ATTR2 VARCHAR2(30),
BOM_ATTR3 VARCHAR2(30),
BOM_AMT1 NUMBER,
BOM_AMT2 NUMBER,
BAD_COMMENTS VARCHAR2(1000) );
Now, let's add another field in there, but this time a date/timestamp datatype. If you format it like this you will see that the keywords sort of 'reset' their position after it encounters a date/timestamp datatype. The date type doesn't align properly with the others.
type TEMP_REC
IS
record
LEAD_TIME NUMBER(5,0),
SCRAP_PERCENT NUMBER,
CREATED_BY VARCHAR2(30),
MODIFIED_BY VARCHAR2(30),

test DATE,
COMMENTS VARCHAR2(2000),
BOM_FLAGS VARCHAR2(100),

BOM_ATTR2 VARCHAR2(30),
BOM_ATTR3 VARCHAR2(30),
BOM_AMT1 NUMBER,
BOM_AMT2 NUMBER,
BAD_COMMENTS VARCHAR2(1000) );
Might post a picture next time if that still isn't clear, though I konw folks are leary against clicking links to see screenshots. Might you know what I'm doing wrong here?

SQL Developer migration tool

Does anyone have any experience migrating just one schema from MySQL to Oracle?
I've specified my database that I want the migration tool to use when I do the migration, but it goes ahead and tries to grab every single function, procedure, table for every single user in the database.
I'm basically trying to migrate a customers' mysql dataset to our oracle db.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance all!
---Patrick

Patrick,
did you already read the Oracle® Database SQL Developer Supplementary Information for MySQL Migrations manual, available at:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12151_01/doc.150/e12155/toc.htm
The chapter 2.2 is dealing with schema migrations. Perhaps that is useful for you. If there is going something wrong for you and different as described in that manual then please let me know more details.
Best regards

Hello,
I get the same error after updating through Help->Check for Updates. I am at version 1.1.2.25 and the update does not change the version number of Oracle SQL Developer (Help->About), it remains at 1.1.2.25 (although if I look in extensions tab, it says: oracle.sqldeveloper 1.1.3.27.66 Loaded, possible bug in displaying version number?). These are the updates applied:
Upgraded Extensions
Oracle Microsoft Access Browser version 1.1.3.27.66
Oracle SQL Developer - Snippet version 10.1.3.27.66

Oracle SQL Developer - Extras version 1.1.3.27.66
Oracle SQL Developer - SearchBar version 10.1.3.27.66
Oracle SQL Developer - Object Viewer version 10.1.3.27.66
I ran the update several times and was able to reproduce the error under a specific condition. If I am connected to a database at the time of the update I get the error. If I am not conneceted at the time of the update I do not get the error.
As stated, by Donal, sql developer seems to get over the problem after restarting itself twice.

SQL Developer 3.0.03 table sql tab errors

In SQL Developer 3.0.03 EA3, when you visit the SQL tab for a table the result is not formatted to be readable or usable fashion.
The generated statements do not have terminating semi-colons or separating slashes, nor is there a line terminator after the end of each statement.
For tables with column comments, all the comment statements are generated in a single line. This is very difficult to read.
In order to make a usable or even readable script from this display, every statement has to be edited to add a statement terminator or separator and to start the next statement on a new line.
The same request, against the same database, using SQL Developer 2.1 displays the expected results.
Edited by: djhenderson on Jan 26, 2011 7:55 PM

You should be able to tweak this in Preferences - Database - Unload/View DDL Options.
Be sure to have the Options checked, along with Pretty Print and Terminator.
For the format, tweak Preferences - Database - SQL Formatter - Oracle.
Hope that helps,
K.

SQL Developer 1.5 and MS SQL Server

Can I use SQL Developer 1.5.1 to access MS SQL Server, just like it was possible in the previous versions of SQL Developer? How can it be done? MS SQL Server does not appear in the 'New Connection'....

The SQL Server node will only appear if you have installed the third party jdbc drivers.
You can download the jdbc driver through check for updates and then you need to register the driver in Tools | Preferences|Database|Third Party JDBC Drivers.
The relevant connection tab should then appear.

Sql developer won't connect with SQL server database on cluster

Hello,
I have a microsoft SQL server database on a windows cluster. Name for this cluster is like XXX/YYY
When I try to connect to this database with SQL developer, I get a failure, mentioning:
"Status : Failure -Cannot connect to Miscrosoft SQL Server on XXX/YYY"
As far as I know, I have installed the correct jtds driver (version 1.2.5), since I can connect to sql server databases on single server hosts.
Does anyone know how to connect to databases on windows clusters?

Sql developer hangs when saving pl/sql external package or package body fil

When I open a package body file I can modify the contents of the file.
Compilation of the file works fine but when I want to close or save the file SQL developer hangs. I use version 1.2 (previous version did have the same problem.)
Somebody has an idee what I'am doing wrong?

Are you using 1.2.1.32.13?

Using DEBUG Mode in Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler to Log SQL

Hello,
I am looking for the possibilty to enable the logging of SQL in Data Modeler.
Jeff Smith wrote an article how to do this for SQL Developer, for Data Modeler there are other configuration files. Does anyone have an idea?
Best regards,
Joop

Hello Philip,
the URL to the article of Jeff is: http://www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2012/10/using-debug-mode-in-oracle-sql-developer-to-log-sql/
in the install directory of Data Modeler 3.3.0.734 exists a file datamodeler\datamodeler\bin\datamodeler.conf. This analogue the situation for sql Developer.
However in this file there is no reference to a (non)debug file.
In ide/bin directory there is a ide-logging-debug.conf and ide-logging.conf file. But they are not referenced. Should one of them be included?

SQL Developer 4.0.0.12 SQL Worksheet

Start SQL Developer.
Open a SQL Worksheet that has some code in it.
Holding Shift key, select a few lines.
Works.
Now: Edit > Block selection.
Block selection (Alt + Shift + Up/Down arrows) doesn't work but you can still select (i.e., "mark") line by line.
Now: Edit > Block selection (to remove checkmark next to "Block selection").
Now neither line selection (Shift + Up/Down arrows) nor block selection (Alt + Shift + Up/Down arrows) works.
HOWEVER, hold Shift key and do Right Arrow. Whoa. Freaky.
Now: Edit > Block selection (to put checkmark next to "Block selection" back).
Now line-by-line selection works (Shift + Up/Down arrow).
Shift + Right arrow is no longer freaky.
Alt + Shift + Up/Down arrows do nothing.
Now: Edit > Block selection (to take away checkmark next to "Block selection").
Line by line selection does not work (Shift + Up/Down arrow).
BUT if you do Shift + Right Arrow, then down arrow (while still holding Shift key) block selection works.
Yeah it's confusing.
Which is the way it is when something isn't working!!
Cheers.

I've been having same problem. Multiple monitors on Win7. I know I saw the progress panel at one point with 4.0ea but it disappeared a few days ago.
I'm running some long schema compares and can't tell what's going on! It also locks my connections to those databases; those connections should be separated I think.

Generate DDL works in old version of SQL Developer, but not in new versions

Hello all,
How to generate DDL in new versions of Oracle SQL Developer for production Oracle database?
For production database, the generate DDL feature works fine in old versions (version 1.5.5) of Oracle SQL Developer, SQuirrel, Toad and many other similar tools, but not the new versions of Oracle SQL Developer (such as 2.1.1.64.45).
The SQL tab for a table is blank for me in production databases. Of course, it works fine in development Oracle database.
I did some research that many articles describe SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE as the required read-only role in production database. Our DBA did a test to grant me this role temporarily, and it worked for me to generate DDL using new Oracle SQL Developer. It is pain for me to ask for this role.
Is there a plug-in or work-around, so the new versions of Oracle SQL Developer can have this generate DDL feature in production without the mentioned SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE?
I could not find the answer in older forum threads.
For now, I will have to install older versions of Oracle SQL Developer.
Thanks

I've seen a couple posts about people not being able to generate DDL for other users. To date, I've never seen a anybody post a workaround, nor have I seen one of the developers post a response, nor have I seen anybody say they've submitted a SR.
I think I remember reading somewhere that the new version of SQL Developer uses dbms_metadata.get_ddl to generate DDLS, rather than some custom query built on top of catalog views...which could explain why it use to work, but no longer does. But whether or not this is true, I don't know.
You could try submitting a SR and see if Oracle responds saying that it's a known bug and will be fixed in the next release. Until then, unless you get the role, you're stuck using something else for DDL generation.

Migration Verifier Tool for SQL Developer Migrations?

Hi all,
The old Migration Workbench has an optional add on verification tool to verify migrations to Oracle.
I am looking for a similar migration verifier tool for the SQL Developer migration process.
Does one currently exist for SQL Developer migration tools?
Regards,
Ben Prusinski

Hi Ben,
The old migration verifier seems to be at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//dmv/index.html
Sue Harper (Product Manager) would be the person to comment further probably through SQLDeveloper statement of direction:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/files/sqldeveloperstatementofdirection.htm
I do not see anything there.
There is a tools->database diff wizard which I have not looked into in detail and I doubt that applies for migrations.
