SQL Developer Not displaying Date columns

I installed SQL Developer on my machine today and when i query for data I don't find any value in the columns which are of DATE datatype.
For Eg if i says select * from dual; i get null as output.
Can anyone confirm if this is happening to you also or if there is some problem with my installation.

Dates work fine for me.
What value do you get for your NLS_DATE_FORMAT parameter with the following query:
select parameter, value from nls_session_parameters where parameter = 'NLS_DATE_FORMAT';
You can change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT as in the following example:
alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-Mon-YYYY';
Also, the column in the dual table is not actually in date format - try "select sysdate from dual;" instead.

SQL Developer not fetching data tables while writting query

HI , I have recently started using SQL developer 2.1, the problem i face is that SQL DEVELOPER is not showing the tables names while writting the query, we have more than 5000 tables and each table name cannot be remembered.
Thanks
Essa

I'm using the Mac version of SQL Developer (Version 2.1.1.64 | Build MAIN-64.45) and I'm having similar problems. I'm currently using OS X Snow Leopard.
The issue does not happen consistently: If I start writing an anonymous block in a new SQL window, the Completion Insight features works well. I can start typing a name of a package (of which there are many in our db) and I'm quickly provided a list matching what I've typed so far. This is also true of variables, functions and procedures within the packages after I type a period following the package name.
However, if I open an existing package body and start editing, the Completion Insight feature becomes less reliable. If I move my cursor to the beginning of the main block of one of the package body's internal procedures, Completion Insight works. As I move down the package and try to insert new code, Completion Insight stops working. I should note that this package body I'm working with has no errors and compiles fine. I'm not sure what this indicates...whether it's an issue with the editors internal parser or some other issue.
I'm not sure the best method for starting SQL Developer via the console window on the Mac. I found the following sh file which does launch it from terminal:
/Applications/SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/MacOS/sqldeveloper.sh
This does launch the application. As I navigate around and follow the instructions you had given (including ctrl-space) I see no output generated out to the console (errors or other messages).
I'm happy to assist in further debugging. Having Completion Insight work consistently will certainly increase my productivity with the tool.
Thanks in advance for any help you may provide.

Newbie blues: Oracle Sql Developer showing different data from Sqlplus.

Newbie blues: Oracle Sql Developer showing different data from Sqlplus.
First of all; it would be difficult to know less about Oracle than myself.
I just installed a recent copy of the server and am running SQl Developer 3.2.20.10.
I made a small test table , borrowed some pl sql code to add rows, then wrote code to delete some rows. Lots of fun.
In SQL Developer “Select * from t1;” now shows 7 records, which seems right.
I wanted other views of the data and so logged in from the command line using SQLPlus.
The same code here shows the table prior to the delete, with 600 plus rows. Needless to say I’ve logged out and back in again, with no changes.
No fun ! What am I not understanding here ?

did you ever actually issue COMMIT so other session can see the changed data?

Can I use Oracle SQL Developer to "Move" data?

Hello,
I'm new to Oracle and I'm trying to use Oracle SQL Developer to export data from one table (on server A) to another table (on sever B). I'm able to create a .ldr file but I don't know how to use the .ldr file in Oracle SQL Developer? I would appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks!

Hi,
The name of tables are different ?
If I understood then try this below:
e.g:
C:\> exp user/password@connectionA file=maytable.dmp tables=SAFETYADMIN_TBL_0022_43
C:\> imp user/password@connectionB file=mytable.dmp full=y
After this import, then you can:
[pre]
C:\>sqlplus user/password@connectionB
SQL> insert into SAFETYUSER_TBL_0022_44
select * from SAFETYADMIN_TBL_0022_43;
SQL> drop table SAFETYADMIN_TBL_0022_43;Feedback if this is not that you want.
Cheers

Report not displaying data from one of the infoproviders

Hi Experts,
Issue: Report not displaying data from one of the infoproviders
I have a report 'ReportA' which has multiprovider MP1 as the source.
MP1 has two Infocubes IC1, IC2 in its design.
Now, when i execute the report, data from IC1 is displayed. But no data from IC2 is displayed.
Is there a setting i need to enable in MP1 ? or is there anything else that needs to be enabled ?
Please reply.
Regards,
Suraj S Nair

Hi All,
When i display data directly from the multi provider, without any restrictions, i cannot view the data from infocube IC2.
I feel its not an issue with the Query. It must be a problem with the setting in the Multiprovider MP1.
Infocube IC2 is a copy of Infocube IC1. Multiprovider MP1 first only had IC1 in its design. It was recently IC2 was also included.
I checked the Characteristics, all of them are assigned corectly.
Now, this issue sure has something to do wiht the setting of Multiprovider or please correct me if wrong.
Regards,
Suraj S Nair

Report does not display data

I have a crystal XI report that when run will not display data; if the report should be six pages that is the number of pages that will be generated. The problem is that the pages show up as blank. If the blank pages are exported the exported file will contain data, if the report is sent to a printer the report will contain data, but no data is ever displayed on the screen. This report has been loaded on 15 other computer and runs perfectly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way if this user logs in remotely and runs this report it will display data.

A few ideas;
1) Make sure you are working with [SP 6|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100015859952009E/crxir2win_sp6.exe].
You are on SP 2...
[SP6 msm|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100000634032010E/crxir2sp6_rdc_mm.zip]
2) Try different resolutions
3) Try to see if there is an updated video driver
4) Make sure there is a default printer driver installed.
5) Run [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] see if there are any differences in dlls loading on a box that works and the one that does not (CR and non CR dlls).

Query not displaying data

Hello BW experts,
I am having an issue where in my query is not displaying data even though there is data in the cube in production.
But the same query is displaying data for the same selection in QA system.
I have executed the tests in RSRT, but am not able to find anything.
Please give your valuable inputs.
Thanks in Advance
BW learner

Hi,
Check the filters of your query, Is there any selection made where you are going to get only march data which is present in your production system.
Check the info cube data by giving the same filter values as in the query definitation. If you didnt find any data, then your query is working fine.
check this and let me know...
if you find some data in the cube with the same filter selection, then give me the data flow of your query, which means, whether the query is executed on Multiprovider or cube?
Regards,
Patil.

SQL Developer tool sometimes does not display data with date type

run the following query using the sql developer tool -
select effective_date from table1 where id = 123;
(the effective_date is stored in the database as date.)
one record is returned with no date in the filed.
However, if I change the query to
select to_char(effective_date, 'mm/dd/yyyy') from table1 where id = 123;
one record is returned with effective date.
Why?
Thanks for your help.

First off, there is a dedicated SQL Developer forum where lots of the developers hang out. Those folks are way more knowledgable that we are about the tool.
That said, I have no problem displaying dates. Do you just have a problem with this particular query/ field/ table? Or does it affect all dates? What version of SQL Developer are you using? 1.1 is out now.

SQL Developer 3.0 data modeler print-to-pdf not working

I am working in Windows XP. I am running SQL Developer version 3.0.04, which now includes a full-featured version of the Data Modeler. I have run into a problem with this version, which did not occur in the stand-alone version of the Data Modeler.
When I try to print a data model diagram [File -> Data Modeler -> Print Diagram -> To PDF file], a PDF file is generated. When I try to open that PDF file with Adobe Reader (version 9.4.3) I get the following error message:
"Adobe Reader could not open 'finename.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged(for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
Furthermore, the size of the file in question is 0 bytes. When I use the same process in the stand-alone version, a readable PDF file is created whose size is 858 bytes.
The 'print to IMAGE file' option works well in both versions.
Any help resolving this would be appreciated.

I am having almost same problem. PDF file is genereted about 400K but blank.
