Sql developer query window corrupting on scroll

Hi there
I have a weird error - when I scroll in my SQL developer query window (tab) the text corrupts and only comes back if I click in the window somewhere or save. Has anyone else seen this? I'm on version 1.5.5 and don't really want to upgrade to the latest as I don't like the new layout (no dbmsoutput etc in the results window)
Cheers, Kate

sorted it by adding a line AddVMOption -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true to the sqldeveloper.conf file, as per thread SQL Editor not refreshing after scroll on Windows Vista

Installing SQL developer on windows 7

Hi all,
Please has anybody successfully installed Oracle SQL developer on windows 7 (64 bit system)? I have been trying to do that for some time now but it has not worked out? I even downloaded the beta version of JDK i.e. JDK version 7 on advice from a google user. Here, there was an instruction that I need to change the file to make it executable which I don't know how to do. Can someone help me out here?

Hi,
I have also installed on windows 7 but the screen refresh rate is pretty bad.
By this I mean have a lot of SQL in the SQL editor and scrolling up and down in the box. We use this as a development tool and it is stopping the roll out of Windows 7 to the development team.
Is there a work around to this or is anyone else experiencing this problem. ?
By the way Java version is
java version "1.6.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
Any help appreciated.

Trouble installing/using SQL Developer on Windows 2008 R2

I need help installing sql developer.
I am running Windows 2008 R2.
I tried installing the 64 bit version, and when it asked for the path to the JDK, it complains that it doesn't exists. Can someone PLEASE point me to which JDK I need to install?
I tried installing the 32 bit versionand it installs fine, but then gives me the error that it can't load AMD 64-bit dll on a IA 32 bit platform.
PLEASE HELP. How can I run SQL Developer on Windows 2008 R2?
Links to the exact versions of what to install would be very very helpful.
Thank you!

The versions required are in the release notes.
If you install the 64-bit SQLDeveloper you need a 64-bit JDK.
If you install the 32-bit SQLDeveloper you need a 32-bit JDK.
If your operating is 32-bit, you need a 32-bit SQLDeveloper.
Note that you need a JDK not a JRE

Save layout of queries in SQL Developer query builder?

Sometimes queries are very complex and moving tables around in the graphical view is really helpfull to better understand them.
Unfortunately this layout does not get saved with "save" (because this is a simple text file).
Once upon there was a query builder (included with designer 2000 and later vom 1991 to 1998) that had a proprietary format (.brw) to just do that: Save a query including layout.
Any chance to save the layout of SQL Developer query builder queries?

I dont think there is any way to save the layout for the query, you can request an enhancement on the Exchange for this http://sqldeveloper.oracle.com/
But if you only need to restore the query you are working with later, or move it to another workstation and continue editing using the query builder, you only need the SQL code generated; when you paste it in an opened worksheet (on the same database or even a clone with the same structure) the query builder is able to resume working just fine with default positioning for the table objects.
If you hand edit the query and insert some SQL manually then the query builder may stop working for particularly complex statements, in this case it will warn you and disable itself.

Windows7 Beta - SQL Developer causes Windows themes to be disabled

If there is already a solution to this issue, I'd love to hear about it.
When I start SQL Developer on Windows7 Beta x64, I get a notice that:
A program that you're running is incompatible with the Windows 7 themes. When this happens, some visual elements are automatically turned off. When the program is no longer running, the visual elements that were turned off are turned on again automatically.
The windows "themes" is the aero interface - I'm not sure if this is an issue with Vista or not (it has an aero interface too), I gave up on Vista almost immediately and have been running either XP (with no problems) or Windows7 Beta (only minor glitches).
Does anyone know if there a Java or other setting that addresses this issue?

Go to <sqldev install dir>\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf and add the following line:
AddVMOption -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true
I recommend you dont change the theme from the default to something else like Windows, lots of graphical glitches/exceptions
Hope that helps.

Installing Oracle 10G and SQL Developer for Windows 7 Home Premium

Hi Folks,
I need your helping me in getting the correct Database installed for my Windows 7 .
Can you please help me out in sending me the correct url for Oracle 10G Database & SQL Developer URL

Thanks ,
satish.pWith the caveat (as already pointed out by Srini in this thread) that no Oracle product has ever been certified on any "home" edition of any version of Oracle ...
If I were looking to download any product, I'd start by going to that company's web site (like, www.oracle.com) and look for a tab or link called "download". I'll bet if you did that, you'd find all sorts of goodies.
But, again, since you are dealing with a "home" edition of Windows, you'll need to start by installing a virtual machine product -- VM Ware's "VMworkstation" or "VMplayer", or Oracle's VirtualBox. Then you can create a virtual machine running a supported OS. Oracle's own Linux (derived from Red Hat Linux) is also free.

SQL Developer on Windows trying to connect to M/F with RACF authentication

I am currently running the latest downloaded version of SQL Developer on a Windows XP client machine.
We have recently upgraded our z/os Oracle version to 10.2.0.3
I was advised to use the thin java client in SQL Developer by inputting the URL into the advanced window - jdbc:oracle:thin:user/******@ukmet-***:3010:***
This returns an ORA-28037 Cannot get session key for RACF authentication
If I however substitute oci for thin then I get a test successful but the subsequent attempt at a connection crashes SQL Developer.
Any ideas on how I get a stable connection greatly appreciated

The tns list might be empty due to the bug that it's only looking for lower case tns file names. This is a bug in 1.1 and has been addressed with the patch. Also in 1.1, there are some instance where the tns file is not picked up through the registry setting, you might need to set the PATH variable to address that. This too has been fixed in the patch.

Solution to connection resets in SQL Developer under Windows 7

I recently ran into constantly lost connections while browsing my schema with SQL Develop. I found this Re: SQL Developer: Not able to view tables by John McGinnis how to work around this bug.
To whom it may now concern, here is the solution:
This bug has been fixed by JDBC driver 11.2.0.3 with ID 9373409 SUDDENLY JDBC THIN GOT CONNECTION ABORT ERROR ONLY WINDOWS 2008 OR VISTA ENV
I have double-checked this with My Oracle Support and it's really fixed now. Everyone should replace that JAR in the jdbc/lib dir of SQL Developer.
Saved me from sorrows.
Good luck,
Michael

Thanks for sharing that information!

SQL Developer and Windows XP Profile space

I work in a secure environment where my laptop is fairly tightly controlled. In particular all laptop users are restricted to a Windows user profile space of 20Mb. This is space in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data. This is to stop people building up huge profiles that take an age to download and synchronise with the logon servers.
SQL Developer writes stuff in this directory (as does the Data Modeler and JDeveloper). In particular windowinglayout.xml is growing and is now 1Mb in size. I am running out of space in my profile and it will not be long before I am at my limit. The size of the file seems mostly to be down to the content of the element /LayoutInfo/clientLayoutData/global/view-data which has grown enormous. Much of the content seems to relate to connections and folders and I have tried to delete some connections but that seems not to have made any difference to the size of the file.
Can the content of this file be controlled? Is it possible to relocate these files somewhere else so that they don't cause me a problem? Are there other possible solutions?
Thanks in anticipation.
Andrew

Marvellous K, thanks for that. Not only have I done that for SQL Developer but also managed to work out the appropriate files to amend for JDeveloper and SQL Developer Data Modeler. My profile now has a whole 5.5Mb free and my laptop is a happy bunny again.
Combined with finding where my new 11g database laptop installation has squirrelled away it's alert log I think that's enough productivity for one day; my work here is done.

SQL Developer database copy corrupts wrapped PL/SQL

SQL Developer 3.0.04.34, database 11.2.0.2.2
Database copy brings over the wrapped pl/sql DDL, but somehow corrupts the code and will not compile.
It must be recreated from source plb file.
expdp / impdp does not have this problem.
This would appear to be a bug.
Wayne Linton

user4792902 wrote:
Also it looks like the SQL Developer loads all the Data from sources Schema for each table in memory and copies to destination Schema.Yes
Any idea how to over come that...Don't use it, use the database's IMPDP/EXPDP tools for copying large quantities of data or whole schemas or databases.
Also adding the Filter or selection like the Database Export functionality in Database Copy will really be helpful in this kind of situation. The Developer team has any plans?Probably not right now, but you can request this at the SQL Developer Exchange though, so other users can vote and add weight for possible future implementation.

SQL Developer on Windows 2003 x64 Edition "failed to initialize..."

I am trying to run sqldeveloper on Windows server 2003 x64 and I get the following error:
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000018). Click on OK to terminate the application.
I get this error with the version with jre, and with the version without the jre.
I have Java 1.6 installed on that server (applet shows up under x86 control panels)
I can reproduce this on two different win 2003 x64 servers, but it works fine on a windows 2003 standard (32 bit)
Any idea how to fix this?
thanks.

This might not be the right place to post this question, but will give it a shot . . .
I've installed JDK 1.5 and downloaded/unzipped SQL Developer on my Windows 2003 x64 server, then launched sqldevelper.bat from the advice given above -- but I get an error saying:
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
I made sure I have java installed:

What am I doing wrong, that would cause 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file?

Declare, Set, and Use a variable in a SQL Developer Query

I come from the SQL Server world and am trying to do something very simple: Declare, set, and use a variable in a query. For example:
Declare @lastPeriod date;
Set @lastPeriod = (select max(payperiod) from table 1 where payperiod < current_date);
Select field 1,
Field2
From table2
Where payperiod = @lastPeriod
The variable is going to be used in more areas in the query which is why I am simply not using a Sub-query in the where clause. I appreciate any assistance.

This forum is for issues with the SQL Developer tool. You'd get more response in the SQL And PL/SQL forum.
That said, read up on bind variables and substitution variables.
Whenever you can you should use Bind variables (e.g. *:lastPeriod* ), as they increase performance. In sqldev, there's no need to declare as you will be prompted to enter them on execution (F9), but you do if you execute as script (F5) (e.g. VARIABLE lastPeriod VARCHAR2(30);).
Alternatively, Substitution variables (e.g. *&lastPeriod* ) will literally be substituted in your statement before the database parses it. In sqldev, there's no need to declare as you will be prompted to enter them on execution (either F9 or F5), but you can (DEF lastPeriod='TEST'; ).
Have fun,
K.

Download SQL Developer for Windows 32 bit - No EXE...

Hi All,
I am trying to download Windows 32 bit version of SQL developer from this URL:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html
Downloading either of the 32 bit windows zips (with or without java) seems to give me a UNIX version of the product. (At least, there are no .exe files in the extracted zip.)
Can someone confirm if these download links are wrong? Or am I doing something dumb? Any alternate place to get the Windows version?
Thanks,
Andy.

There should be a sqldeveloper.exe in the top level directory <installdir> and sqldevloper.exe and sqldeveloperw.exe in <installdir>\sqldeveloper\bin
