SQL Developer problem viewing tables

When I connect to a particular database at work I cannot see the tables under a schema I have access to.
I know that my permissions are correct because i can connect to the same db with Enterprise Manager Console and i can see the tables under the particular schema. In SQL Developer however when i log in, under the connections tab i expand the connection, then expand Other Users, expand the schema i need to get the tables from, I then expand Tables. When i do that last step SQLD acts like it is looking up the tables but then it just hangs and is perpetually looking for the tables. If i try to click cancel that will stop it but then if i click anywhere else in the program im locked up and have to use taskman to kill it off.
There are a large number of tables under this schema so i have even let this run for 5+ minutes and nothing happens. Like i said i know i have permissions to get to the tables because i can do so in another program.
Forgot to mention that this is a connection to our live dbs...I can connect and see the exact same tables under the same schema when connecting to one of our archive dbs, so i know that i can actually see tables in the program.
Im not sure what else to post here to tell you how im setup so ask any questions and ill see if i can answer them.
TIA for any help or ideas you can give me.
btw im using version 1.5.3 Build MAIN-5783

There is a known problem with the performance of the tables node on the connection navigator in SQL Developer 1.5.3 - see Re: Still experienceing problems "tables" node performance. We need to wait until 1.5.4 to get the fix, whenever that is going to be released.

Sql developer not showing table/view names

I just set up a new machine, the database settings are same as in the old machine. But I cannot see the table/view names when expending the "+" sign before Tables or Views. When using "select * from tab", the result of all tables/views returns correctly. Is there any other settings I missed?
I'm using Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, and Oracle SQL Developer 1.5.5.

The same issue exists in 2.1.1.64.39
All of a sudden: list of tables empty, views still viewable,tables are still there though.
In the logging window I get ora-904 messages on sys.o.name

SQL Developer - problems with the Data Modeller part

Hi SQL Developer users,
I can open the Data Modeler pane, but I can't insert any object into the logical model or into the relational model. Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong? Do I need specific privileges to the database, or do I need to install SQL Developer in a different way?
Thanks,
Csisz

Hi Csisz,
as Ivaylo wrote - it's Data Modeler Viewer into SQL Developer.
I can't insert any object into the logical model or into the relational modelYou can drag tables from SQL Developer browser and drop them on relational model diagram. If you keep Ctrl key pressed then all child tables also will be imported and shown on diagram.

SQL Developer Problems and Feature Requests

Im in the process of comparing TOAD to SQL Developer and noticed the following bugs/features in SQL Developer:
1. An error message is correctly displayed when a database password has expired, but there isnt a way to go back into the database and change the password for that account. Can this critical feature be added?
2. There is no option to connect as sysdba or sysoper.
3. In the New / Select Database Connection window, I get the following error when double clicking on an existing connection defined using a TNS Network Alias: Status: Failure no ocijdbc10 in java.library.path. Any ideas? Connection was initially defined using the Network Alias button. I can connect under the Connections window, but not in the New / Select Database Connection window. Any ideas?
4. When displaying data in a table, the filter is not user friendly. You need to enter column names and the correct SQL syntax. It also does not allow you to cut and paste in column names. It would be very helpful/useful if it was more user friendly (GUI based) such as how Sorting is done and/or how it is done in TOAD.
5. When viewing referential constraints on a child table, it shows you information on the parent, but not if the parent is a child to something else. If you were a parent, it would be nice to see all child and their childrens children. TOAD does a nice job showing parent and child tables via a tree structure.
6. Comparing metadata between schemas would also be a very nice feature.
Im not sure if this is the place to post this but thought I would start here. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

1: You can always right click and have it open an sql*plus window and that will prompt for the new password. But I do agree that support for this should be built in.
2: This is a developer tool.. Use OEM for the dba stuff. I think that the worst thing that could happen to SQL Dev is to try to become everything for everyone like TOAD tries to.
3: Search the forum. Other users ran into this and I believe there is a workaround.
4: I like the current filtering on tables. So much simpler than most tools. I do agree that maybe there should be an advanced button with a filter builder and agree that column names should be copyable but would cringe if the free-form field disappeared. How many other tools can you write an inline query into the table viewer? Great feature IMHO

SQL Developer:Problem with multi byte size after import using excel format

Hi,
Need your help. I am trying to export multibyte characters from our China instance(r11i instance) using SQL Developer's export data via Excel format into an R12 Vision instance. I have a staging table with exactly the same structure in both instances. Prior to export to excel, I check the byte size of the sample data below using LENGTH and LENGTHB sql functions and these are the results:
Sample data = 材料LI（USD）
LENGTH=9
LENGTHB=13
Then, I exported the table as excel file. Afterwards, I used SQL Developer to import the excel file into the table of the target instance. I check the bytesize again and here are the results:
Sample data = 材料LI（USD）
LENGTH=9
LENGTHB=17
The byte size increased from 13 to 17. I did not change anything on the excel file. Just straight forward export to excel file then imported it to the target instance. How come there is an increase in byte size? Has anyone encountered this in SQL Developer? We really need to export the files as excel.
Source:
Database version = 9.2.0.5.0
Target:
Database version = 11.1.0.7.0

Wendell

Wendell,
This forum is for handling issues migrating from non-Oracle databases to Oracle databases.
As this is an Oracle to Oracle issue using SQL*Developer export it would be better to open a new thread in the SQL*Developer forum -
SQL Developer
There will be more people there who can help with this problem.

SQL Developer problem. Rows without columns on data tab

Hello,
I have a strange behavior in Oracle SQL Developer Version 2.1.0.63. When I'm trying to open the "Data tab" for some tables, SQL Developer shows data rows but without columns! It seems that I can select different rows but I can't see neither any data nor column names.
Under the filter setting there are no available columns either.
At the same time, when I'm trying to open sys tables they are displayed normally.
From the other side, those tables which are not displayed correctly in 2.1.0.63, could be opened in Version 1.5.5 without any problems.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Sql Developer problem on OS X

I am running on SQL Developer on OSX version 10.4.5 every thing seems to work fine except one thing. When I am in the data grid I can not commit my changes. I click the button and nothing happens. The box at the bottom comes up but nothing in it. If i use the sql worksheet write my own update statement it works fine. Any ideas?
thanks

Seemed to work for me on Mac 10.4.5 / JDK 1.5 / SQL Dev 1.0 Build 1467.
Steps
1. Connect to DB using Basic Tab.
2. Navigate to a table on the Connections Navigator and click on the table. This opens the Detail View on right side.
3. Click on Data tab.
4. Hit + (3rd) button on the Data tab toolbar; this inserts a row.
5. Input the values and hit Commit (5th) button on same toolbar.
6. The following message was displayed in Data Editor - Log.
INSERT INTO "EMPUSER"."EMPLOYEE" (ID, MANAGER) VALUES ('MARTIN', 'STEVE')
Commit Successful

Sql developer behavior, expands table.* to show all fields?

Am I doing something wrong, or does sql developer (10g) have an odd behavior?
If I create a view
select mytable.* from mytable
it saves the view like
select mytable.myid, mytable.mycol1, mytable.mycol2 from mytable
IE it replaces the mytable.* with a select clause that includes every column individually. I've never seen any sql editor do anything like this.

I have never seen a sql editor make such massive changes to whatever one entered. It's not SQL Developer doing this, it's Oracle itself.
Here I'm not using any editor, just SQL Plus (repeating Solomon's example):
SQL> create view emp_v as select * from emp;
View created.
SQL> select view_name, text from user_views;
VIEW_NAME TEXT
EMP_V select "EMPNO","ENAME","JOB","MGR","HIREDATE","SAL","COMM","DEPTNO" from empThis is also documented (indirectly) in the SQL Reference manual under CREATE VIEW:
"If the subquery uses an asterisk (*) to select all columns of a table, and you later add new columns to the table, then the view will not contain those columns until you re-create the view by issuing a CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW statement."
That's because the "select *" is expanded to explicitly name all the columns when the view is created.

Don't Oracle SQL Developer show Object tables ?

Hi
when I create a table of an object in oracle the SQL Developer don't show it in Tables tree
my mean is that SQL Developer don't show object tables that are defined in user_object_tables or dba_object_tables
in Tables tree (while other tools such as PL/SQL Developer do it)
do you know that is there any solution for showing object tables in Table tree in SQL Developer ?
thanks

Any updates on this? I have the same problem. "Types" only shows the object types, but not the tables based on these object types.

SQL Developer Problems with Microsoft Word Apostrophes

Hi,
I'm trying to copy and paste a list like the following from Microsoft Word to SQL Developer -
'123','456','789'
Shouldnt be a problem.
But when ever I paste it into an sql file in Developer it comes out with different styled apostrophes which SQL Developer does not seem to like -
‘123’,’123’,’123’
Obviously I can just do a find and replace and change all of the problem apostrophes but is there a way to stop the problem occuring?
It doesnt matter what font I am using in Word, I always get the slanted style apostrophes. But in Developer, if I just normally type an apostrophe, I get the acceptable version - '

I hate copying and pasting to/from word it does far to many things I don't want it to do.
A trick that sometimes works for me is to copy in word, paste in notepad, then copy in notepad and paste into SQL developer.
I have replicated your issue but I have found that even this dosn't work.
You could write a VBA macro in word linked to the ctrl + c short cut that does a text copy and a find and replace on the special chars turning them into normal ones but I think this might be overkill.

SQL Developer problem

Hi,
I have a little problem.
When I enter SELECT* FROM HR.COUNTRIES; just too see if it's working,everything works fine,except I can't see any results under "Results".
The same query works just fine in SQL* Plus.
Please help,I'm new in Oracle.
Thanx.

Yes,but i just can't see any results.
It's driving me crazy!Did you click on the "Results" tab of the bottom pane of your SQL Worksheet in SQL Developer ?
Did you drag the divider high enough so as to see the results in the bottom pane ?
Do you see the column headers in the bottom pane ? And no data below it ?
Did you open up command line sqlplus simultaneously, run the query and see the results in there ?

SQL Developer Problem: Connect Database Windows Wont Show

Hi,
I have Windows Vista Home Basic and I have installed Oracle XE 10g which works great. However, I need to install SQL Developer too but it wont work. I think it may be a compatibility issue, or else some problem with Java. The thing is that no matter how hard I've tried I couldn't beat all the problems I had with the interface. First of all, when I try to make a new Database connection, the option window won't show. Second, when I enter in Preferences, I cannot choose anything but the general option. Also, I don't know where is the connection window.
I would appreciate all the help you can provide. Trying to start with my school project....
Have a nice day. Thanks in advance.
Mikywan.
P.S.: Sorry about my english.

I add these lines at <sqldeveloper>\ide\bin\ide.conf and worked.

In SQL Developer, if I select the SQL code for each table individually, I can run the statement and create each table. My question is this... can I select both lots of code and then create the tables with one press of the run statement button. I am asking this because I have many tables, and it is slow to do each one, one at a time.
thanks
Canning

Hi,
that is possible in sql * plus. but i don't know that option is there in sql developer or not.
i think you have the sql plus so you can execute from that also.
