SQL Developer - reducing shown users

We have rather a lot of developer accounts and it is taking a couple of minutes to return all users when selecting "other Users". Is it possible to create a filter, so that you can select only the users that you want to see.
We are on 9i so I do not think that the response issue is the same as reported for 11g.

If you righ-click the Other Users node, you can Apply Filter. Does that work?

SQL Developer Error Creating User Home

SQL Developer was running fine on my Windows 7 64-bit machine until Monday morning. Now when I kick it off (from my Desktop shortcut), I get a small box saying: "Error creating user home in directory C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer".
There is no error number, and I have been unable to find this error in the SQL Developer documentation. What does it mean? It's possible that updates were pushed to my machine over the weekend (unknown -- network sysadmins are elsewhere), but I would have thought I would have gotten a different message if there were compatibility problems. Have I accidentally deleted a necessary file from my local SQL Developer folder? My connection databases are Oracle 11g.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi,
Here is a thread on the same issue, but so old that the advice it gives is no longer accurate:
Re: Error creating user home in directory D:\Program Files\raptor\jdev.
So let's assume you no longer have write access to your own Windows user directory. To workaround that just add the following to one of the conf files in the SQL Developer installation folder. For example, to run SQL Developer from a flash drive, I modified my E:\sqldeveloper\ide\jdk.conf to include
AddVMOption -Dide.user.dir=../../.sqldeveloperSo that the user home is E:\.sqldeveloper

User Name limitations in SQL Developer

I am using SQL Developer from past 1 year. I am facing some issues with some of my connections which are with Numaric User Names ( Ex. User Name : 12312). In older versions it was giving error ' Invalid User name / Passoword' And in Version3 its giving *' Un Supported Verifier Type , Vendor Code: 17451'*.
Am able to connect with same user from TOAD and Command Prompt. And with alpha numaric name i able to connect from SQL Developer also.
Is it a limitation in SQL Developer to have user as alphanumaric only ( Starting with Charectar) ? Can somebody help me if i need to change any setting to use *'Numaric User name'*
Thanks,

Thanks Jim for the reply. i tried using double quotes but still the same issue. And i am able to connect from commadprompt, SQL + and from Toad. Only issue with SQL developer.

Show Current Connected User in SQL Developer

Hello,
Is there a way to make SQL developer display the user that is currently connected?
For example, in the Connection tab, instead of just the database name show something
of the lines of "USER@DATABASE" or "DATABASE -- USER"
or in the SQL Worksheet Page?
Sometimes you connect and you don't know with which user you connected.
Thanks

We do have this listed in our task database with the other connection requests. These will not be addressed in the next update, but in a future release.

Storing User defined reports in SQL Developer

Hi All,
I have created some user defined reports in SQL Developer. My company requested me to update the OS from Win XP to Win 7. I forgot to export those reports. I got my machine back, they said that the data is retained. Now i need to take those reports back. Can anyone tell me in which folder would SQL Developer stores the User Defined Reports by default? My bad I dont remeber the Report Name too.
Can anyone help me on this?

BUG in Oracle SQL Developer 3.0.04 on the "generating DLL" with comments?

I'm newbie on oracle, but I think that I found out a bug in Oracle SQL Developer version 3.0.04 on the "generating DLL" tool using "comments".
I will describe the steps that I gave:
I created a view, but after I test it I had to change my “where” condition, so I comment the old code and then I wrote the new “where” condition below. After I done that I tried to look at the sql code of my view using “generating DLL” tool, but oracle sql developer only shown me half of the code, a lot of code were missing. Then I began with some test trying to understand what happen and I notice that if I put an invalid sql code in my comment the generating DLL start working with no problems, for example(pseudo-code):
(COMMENT WITH VALID SQL CODE the "Generating SQL" don't work:)
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW <user>.<view_name> ( <column1>,<column2> )
AS
SELECT column1, column2
FROM table1
INNER JOIN
(SELECT
FROM table2
INNER JOIN .....
INNER JOIN ....
--where time_stamp = (select max(time_stamp) from .....)
WHERE time_stamp >= TRUNC(sysdate)
) t1 ON t1.ID = ....
AND ..... >= TRUNC(sysdate)
ORDER BY ....
Generating DLL returns this(when the error occurs):
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW <user>.<view_name> ( <column1>,<column2> )
AS
(COMMENT WITH VALID SQL CODE the "Generating SQL" work with no problems:)
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW <user>.<view_name> ( <column1>,<column2> )
AS
SELECT column1, column2
FROM table1
INNER JOIN
(SELECT
FROM table2
INNER JOIN .....
INNER JOIN ....
--where
WHERE time_stamp >= TRUNC(sysdate)
) t1 ON t1.ID = ....
AND ..... >= TRUNC(sysdate)
ORDER BY ....
I believe that "Generating DLL" tool have some problem with the comments, I also used /*...*/ to comment but the problem is still active.
I notice as well that if I started to add some more comments along the code, the conditions migth change, so I think the problem is related with "comments" code.
Would you mind telling me if this is a real bug or if I'm doing anything wrong.
Thank you in advance,
Rodrigo Campos

Hi Rodrigo,
Thank you for reporting this. The only bug I see currently logged on a comment affecting the generated View DDL involves ending the last line of the definition with a comment, which treats the ending semi-colon (even if on a different line) as part of the comment. That is actually related to a low-priority bug against an Oracle database API.
Unfortunately, your pseudo-code is a bit complex. Trying a few quick, simpler tests against the standard HR schema did not reproduce the issue. I tried INNER JOIN, and nested SELECTs. It would help greatly if you could provide a test case compilable against one of the standard schema, like HR or SCOTT.

Syntax highlighting not working on PL/SQL developer tool

Hello,
Syntax highlighting is not working on PL/SQL developer tool using the beautifier. When I go set Syntax highlighting parameters (from EDIT>PL/SQL Developer Beautifier Options > User Interface> Editor> Syntax Highlighting ) and click apply, the changes are not reflected in SQL code in the SQL window. Other feautures in the beautifier such as Fonts, Window types are working fine.
Please help me with this issue.

SQL Developer-Cannot Connect

Hi, I have the same problem as the person who posted the question
The history is i already have oracle 10g express edition installed on my system but with it I cannot create tables or execute DML or DDL commands so I downloaded SQL developer .
When it came to the connection I wanted to fill in the Hostname , Port and SID in that order it gave me that same error "The network adapter could not establish connection ", and to fill in those spaces I used the link I saw when opening the Human Resources schema in the express edition(The schema came in the express edition and I used it to learn the SELECT statement). so i tried to use that address and it came in this format :- http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4500:1000:3171371893604961
And since SQL told me to fill those parameters as Hostname:Port:SID I felt the use of the last 3 digits i.e 4500:1000:3171371893604961 would have worked but that is what is giving me the error.
I would appreciate the help. Thank you

Sql-developer EA3 Crashed during startup

Hi,I startup sql-developer on my Ubuntu 13.04,and it crashed with errors:
       "A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:SIGSEGV (0xb) at ...
        JRE version: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (7.0_45-b18) (build 1.7.0_45-b18)
        Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (24.45-b08 mixed mode linux-amd64 compressed oops)".
I already tried "ulimit -c unlimited" before starting to enable write core dump.
But if i run sql-developer as root user,then it startup normally,so I suspect it's insufficient privilege when I startup with normal user first time.I have changed the owner of sqldeveloper & Java to myself but it didn't work(which was owned by root previously).
I don't know how to analyze the core dump nor the error log file created during crash,but I do not want to startup it as root user.So,anybody who can give a solution would be appreciated.

There are some related threads where running SQLDev as root 'fixes' the issue on Ubuntu...it looks like the final solution came down to this
unset GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID
Try that, or search the forums for the 2-3 other threads around this topic.

Must SQL Developer run as an administrator in Windows 7?

I have seen a number of posts discussing installation of SQL Developer in Windows 7 and I've been able to get the product installed and running on Windows 7 provided I log in as an Administrator or enter Administrator credentials when prompted. However, I want to be able to run this as a "regular" User without having to enter Administrator credentials every time. Is there additional access required for the "Users" group apart from granting Full Control to the Oracle home and all sub-directories? I've also granted Full Control access to the local admin account's folder under C:\users\local_admin\AppData and C:\users\local_admin\.sqldeveloper, but I'm still being prompted for Admin credentials every time I run SQL Developer as a User who doesn't have Admin privileges to the machine. (UAC will prompt the Admin user, but no additional credential is required.)
Please advise!! I'm using the version of SQL Developer bundled with Oracle Client 11gR1 (SQL Developer 1.1.3). Is there something else I should be using?

The short answer is no.
The privileges you need are read-access to the sqldeveloper installation directory and write access to your home directory (C:\users ). The first time SQLDeveloper runs you may need write access to the installation directory to write the JDK location into the config file.
I suspect your installation is owned by an administrator and W7's weird and wonderful security system is preventing you reading or writing something.
Try running <install_dir>\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.exe from a command window. That may show more detail on errors.
I would also recommend upgrading to the latest version (3.04) as many problems have been fixed and new features added.

Small bug and fix starting SQL Developer on Mac OS X

I couldn't find anyone else mentioning this so I'll write it in.
If I started SQL Developer in one user I couldn't start it again in another user, even after quitting out of the first. I would double click the icon and it would do the animated "zoom" but then nothing.
I tracked it down to a problem in SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/MacOS/sqldeveloper.sh. When it redirects the output of the call to the start scipt in the /sqldeveloper/bin directory it would fail because the /tmp/sqldeveloper-startup.log was owned by the first user to start the App (since the /tmp was cleared anyway). My umask didn't give it permission to start overwriting that file.
To fix it I changed the last line in SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/MacOS/sqldeveloper.sh to:
bash ./sqldeveloper >/tmp/sqldeveloper-startup.$$.log
so that the PID was now part of the name and each initiation of SQL Developer would have its own.
You could also change the last line to:
bash ./sqldeveloper >$(mktemp /tmp/sqldeveloper-startup.log.XXXXX)
which would guarantee more uniqueness but wouldn't let you know which process was using the file.
Savvy Mac users can edit the script themselves by right-clicking on the SQLDeveloper.app and selecting "Show Package Contents". You may have to temporarily change the file permissions to let you edit it.
For the record I'm running SQL Developer 1.2.0 on a Mac TiBook G4 867MHz with Mac OS X 10.4.10 and 1Gb RAM (and it is still maddeningly slow because Java fundamentally sucks).
-Bion

Ok - I think I found it.
Go into ~/Library/Application Support/SQL Developer/system1.5.3.57.83/o.ide.11.1.1.0.22.49.44 (or similar for whatever version you're running) and edit the settings.xml file there.
Look for a block that looks like:
<Item class="oracle.javatools.util.Pair">
<first class="java.lang.String">delete-previous</first>
<second class="oracle.ide.keyboard.KeyStrokes">
<data>
<Item class="javax.swing.KeyStroke">[0]</Item>
</data>
</second>
</Item>
and change it to:
<Item class="oracle.javatools.util.Pair">
<first class="java.lang.String">delete-previous</first>
<second class="oracle.ide.keyboard.KeyStrokes">
<data>
<Item class="javax.swing.KeyStroke">[8]</Item>
</data>
</second>
</Item>
I'm not sure why, but this file seems to always contain the incorrect keystroke value when I do a fresh install of SQL Developer. I always have to go in and change that value by hand. I've tried choosing any number of the accelerator presets, but none of them make the delete key work.

SQL Developer Show Grants

Hi!
I use SQL Developer and also Toad to connect to my Oracle 10.2 Database.
Maybe since Oracle 10 (and / or maybe InstanceClient) I cannot see the Grants in the SQL Developer of other users than the one I'm connecting.
If I use Toad I have no Problems to see them.
What could be the reason for this?
I know I can use the View SYS dba_tab_privs to show me all Grants I want to know (yes I have access to it).
If I use all_tab_privs or user_tab_privs I see only my own grants. -> I think thats the problem.
How can I switch SQL Developer to use the dba_tab_privs view to show me the Grants / Privileges on the Table I selected
Greetings

Do better? What am I supposed to do better at? Describing how to get a ref cursor out?
No, I don't claim to be able to do that better. That's not my issue.
My issue is that the post is about 95% opinion, most of it rather ... well...
and there's 5% useful. In that case, I'd copy the 5% and post it directly, rather than posting a link.
Or do better at ...
there's a long comment on the blog.

SQL Developer Blocked and is not allowed to connect to database ORA-200001

SQL Developer Blocked and is not allowed to connect to database gives ORA-200001.
i found on net that DBA can write triggers which can deny connection to database from certain appplication.
so i want a way to change application name so that when it connects to database
the V$SESSION will have different value (other than SQL Developer) in column PROGRAM and/or MODULE (which i think is used by dba to restrict the connection).
one more way is
i am using jdbc url to connect to database
in java we can change properties of connection to change the PROGRAM in V$SESSION.
but i am not java expert so dont know how and where to make the changes
either way my aim is to connect to database such that V$SESSION will have different value (other than "SQL Developer") in column PROGRAM and/or MODULE

This is not system configration or credential issue.
This is a check which is put DBA using logon trigger
to check certain user loging in using certain application.
only some users using particular username are getting this error when they try to logon using oracle sql developer
the same users when uses different username(some generic user names created to access database) to access the same database then they are able to login.
similarly if they login using SQL navigator they are able to login with both their own and the generic user name
more over of all the database instances this is only happening on some of the instances and all of them are development instances.
following will help you understand
USER | DBUSERNAME | DATABASE | APPLICATION | ACTION
X | X | DB1 | Oracle Sql Developer | Blocked
X | G(Genric) | DB1 | Oracle Sql Developer | Login Success
X | X | DB1 | Sql Navigator/SqlPLus | Login Success
X | G(Genric) | DB1 | Sql Navigator/SqlPLus | Login Success
X | X | DB2 | Oracle Sql Developer | Login Success
X | G(Genric) | DB2 | Oracle Sql Developer | Login Success
X | X | DB2 | Sql Navigator/SqlPLus | Login Success
X | G(Genric) | DB2 | Sql Navigator/SqlPLus | Login Success
I just want to bypass this check which i think uses V$SESSION and columns PROGRAM and/or MODULE to check the application used by particular user.
if i can override these values some where in oracle sql developer before loging in the DB then i can clearly pass this check and login to database.

How good is sql developer?

I am pretty new to Oracle, and like using sql developer most of the time. Is it well regarded by those of you that work with Oracle day to day? I think I've seen some bugs but most of the time is seems to do ok. SQL Developer is installable on almost any workstation which is also a plus.
But I was wondering, are there any comparable or better graphical oracle interfaces tools out there? I have looked at Toad but have not formulated any opinion re is it better that sql developer. I am not really considering any commercial (ie pay) packages because I'd like to be able to use the tool at various locations.

TOAD is much friendly and easy to use compared to SQL Developer.
But this may not sound as an appealing reason for the management to choose between a licenced product and a free product which can handle most of the functionalities required for a development team.
TOAD has extra features like Session Monitor, DBA tools, export, Import, Compare etc etc. But how often your developers need to use them?
I have used both , initially I was reluctant to use SQL Developer, but soon I got used to it. Certain nifty ways of saving/generating insert scripts etc were missing though.
One thing I liked about SQL developer is the grouping of open connections, it allows you to see two connections on the screen as vertical tiles. ALso SQL Developer can be integrated to a source control system like SVN, where you can do check-out, check-in etc though the tool itself.
Also SQL Developers works great for migration from non-oracle databases.
I suggest you list down the functionalites mostly used in TOAD by your developers and do a comparsion of the same features in SQL Developer.
Here are some more differenences.
