SQL Developer Shortcuts to Objects

Is there a way to define a shortcut to take me to a Table, package, etc of interest? I have many DBs defined in SQLDeveloper and it's a pain to continually traverse to the object of interest.
Thanks
Dan

No, but some things to help you get to your object quicker.
1. View > Find DB Object
2. Ctrl+Click in the worksheet
3. Right-click on connection > Schema Browser

Oracle SQL Developer (Not seeing object names within the interface)

Hello,
I was finally able to perform an export/import from our production environment to our training environment. Anyway, this was done using the SYS account and for some reason, I have an issue where in Oracle SQL Developer, there are no object names being displayed, but the objects do exist within SQLPLUS if I should query the table.
The following error message displays when I refresh any of the objects folders within SQL Developer:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I'm pretty new to the Oracle DBA space but not to SQL Server Ah. The first thing you need to do is check everything you think you know about rdbms at the door. The similarity between SQL Server and Oracle ends right after SELECT * FROM EMP.
Even the term "database" has different meanings.
First thing I see, in your original post, is that you did the export/import as SYS. Was this "as sysdba"?
From Oracle® Database Utilities
10g Release 2 (10.2):
Invoking Export and Import As SYSDBA
SYSDBA is used internally and has specialized functions; its behavior is not the same as for generalized users. Therefore, you should not typically need to invoke Export or Import as SYSDBA, except in the following situations:
* At the request of Oracle technical support
* When importing a transportable tablespace set
so it's quite possible that I missed something during the import/export of the environments.
Are there any system tables that get invoked when you click on any of the objects within the connection?

When is Sql Developer "sensitive" on objects?

Hi,
in the company I work in I use Pl/Sql Developer for developing in pl-sql (it's the product of Allround Automations http://www.allroundautomations.com/plsqldev.html), bacause we work on Oracle vers. 8.1.7.
Recently I've tried to install on my PC Sql Developer of Oracle vers. 1.1.2 that seems to work well (the higher versions are for Oracle 9 -->)
I've noticed that, rispect to the product I use, in Sql Developer if I write a statement like:
select a.field1, a.field2
from mytable a
where a.
after the a. the tool doesn't always present to me the list of mytable's columns and this would be very usefull.
The function sometimes works and I haven't understood because sometimes doesn't. Moreover it presents the list of columns in upper case and I'd prefer having in lower case. Is it possible?
Thanks!

BTW, you do know you can get a popup describe of a table using SHIFT-F4, don't you? That would help you too if you don't know the column names and as it's a non-modal dialog, you can just copy&paste.
Have fun,
K.

Is it due to the fact that it's not a Sql Developer possibility or I need to do something in preferences or the vers. 1.1.2 doesn't support this function?
Thanks!

I think it's better to use an official tool for my professional skill, isn't it?Not necessarily. Toad, PLSQL Developer and others are mature tools to work with Oracle DBs while SQL Developer still has many bugs, even in version 2.1, and you need to know what you can do and where not to trust it, e.g. lines missing when exporting large datasets.

Marcus
P.S.: I have Toad installed on my PC but use SQL Developer almost exclusively. But I'm an early adopter, tested every version and I think I know when not to trust SQL Developer and use other tools instead.

Using REF with object table in SQL Developer

When i create object tables and fill them with data, then in SQL Developer de REF value isn't displayed.
I did the following:
CREATE TYPE adres_type AS OBJECT
(straat VARCHAR2(20)
,nummer VARCHAR2(10)
,postcode VARCHAR2(6)
,plaats VARCHAR2(50));
CREATE TABLE adressen of adres_type;
CREATE TYPE locatie_type AS OBJECT
(nr NUMBER
,naam VARCHAR2(20)
,adres REF adres_type);
CREATE TABLE locaties OF locatie_type;
CREATE TABLE locaties OF locatie_type
(SCOPE FOR (adres) IS adressen);
insert into adressen values (adres_type('Arnhemsestraatweg', '33','6881ND','Velp'));
insert into locaties values (1,'Directie', (select ref (a) from adressen a where a.plaats = 'Velp'))
Then in SQL Developer de REF(A) column is empty, while in SQL*Plus it displays the REF value:
In SQL Developer: SELECT a.*, REF(a) FROM adressen a;
STRAAT NUMMER POSTCODE PLAATS REF(A)
Arnhemsestraatweg 33 6881ND Velp
In SQLPLUS: SELECT a.*, REF(a) FROM adressen a;
STRAAT NUMMER POSTCODE PLAATS REF(A)
Arnhemsestraatweg 33 6881ND Velp 0000280209C70341FBB96B4F77813B27B50E53BB4332382E22ADD64AD9B755F651D416B6DA010134
Is this a bug or is there another reason why the ID doesnt display in SQL Developer.
(this didnt work in all the previous SQL Developer releases and still not in de 2.1 E.A. version)

SQL Developer and Blocking View of Other Users' Objects

I am using SQL Developer in a classroom environment. My student users can “see” Other Users objects. They cannot modify, but none the less can see the structure and data.
I only want the users to be able to see their own objects. Is there a privilege that needs to be revoked? (In using SQL Plus command line, this was not a problem.)
Thanks.
-Karen

Karen,
From sysdba account (sys/system). Run following and verify for that particular user grant is revoked. May be exit from sql developer and log back in or refresh view.
YOu can also potenially revoke all the privs from all non admin uses i.e.r even connect/resource roles and grant them back.
revoke select any table from yourschemaname;
revoke connect from schemaname;
revoke create session from schemaname;
revoke resource from schemaname;
Then just grant privs as need basis
grant connect to schemanme;
grant resource to schemaname;
grant create session to schemaname;
..Regards

SQL Developer objects not showing DDL

Greetings! First time posting here on the Oracle forums, so hopefully I can be as specific as possible :)
I'm having an issue with displaying the SQL that makes up an object, specifically a VIEW.
Here is the scenario:
I log on as an IT user - WDSQUERY (this account can be used my multiple folks for querying in different schemas). I navigate down to other users and expand that node. I find the schema I want to use, ALCHEMY, and expand that node.
It now places me in the ALCHEMY realm we'll call it. I should be able to see all the different objects owned by this schema (assuming permissions are set up). I click on the 'VIEWS' node to expand all the view objects. I can see the data and columns. What I cannot see is the SQL that generates that view, and I have no idea why.
Co-worker of mine uses Toad, and he can do the exact same scenario (same user id, goes to same schema, etc.), however when he clicks on the 'Script' tab, it will generate the SQL that builds that view. Which leads me to believe this isn't a permission issue, because he's on the exact same user_ID.
Is there some option I don't have checked somewhere in SQL Developer? The current work around for this is that I simply query the DBA_VIEWS where owner = 'ALCHEMY', and then pull out the name/text of the view I want. But....still this is just one of those things I want to know why it isn't working.
Here are the little ORA codes I'm getting when trying to view the SQL code of the VIEW:
ORA-31603: object "PO_LINE" of type VIEW not found in schema "ALCHEMY"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 105
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 2806
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 4333
ORA-06512: at line 1
Any help would be GREATYLY appreciated!

Hi,
If you can see the objects in the 'Other Users' schema, then I would imagine your user_ID has the SELECT ANY DICTIONARY system privilege. Seeing the data and DDL requires additional privileges, however. I haven't looked deeply enough to be absolutely sure, but there are two or three methods that SQL Developer uses:
1) If you have SELECT ON <other user_ID>.<viewname> object privilege, then you can see both data and DDL.
2) Otherwise if you have EXECUTE ON DBMS_METADATA you can see the DDL (except it may depend on other privileges too(?)).
Sorry I don't have time to dig deeper into DBMS_METADATA. It works on some of my connection users but not others. And, of course, privileges like SELECT ON DBA_VIEWS always give one an unfair advantage.
Hope this helps,

Using TOAD and SQL Developer to compare db objects in schemas in databases

Hi All,
My primary objective was to compare objects in schemas in two different databases and find out the differences,
Execute DDL's in the database where objects are missing and syn schemas in two different databases.
So I need to compare schemas in databases. Which tool would be helpful and will be user friendly to make a comparison of database objects existing in schemas in two different databases.
I'd like to see if I can get a list of pro and cons between Toad and SQL Developer for comparing schemas pros and cons.
Could you please also help me on navigation in SQL Developer to compare schemas.
Connect to Source
Connect to Target
Compare schemas with different object types
Find out differences
Generate DDL's for the missing objects or for the objects in difference report
Run them in missing instace(Source/Target)
Make sure both are in sync.
Thanks All

Hi,
Most dba type tools have this kind of functionality - personally i use plsqldeveloper but this is very similar to most other tools on the market. SQL Developer seems to rely on you needing the change management pack licence which you likely dont have and would be quite a large cost to roll out.
I'd compare plsqldeveloper/toad/sqlnavigator etc and maybe the tools from redgate which look pretty good though i haven't used them.

Harry

Oracle SQL Developer does not browse Sybase's objects

I had installed and configured jtds-1.2.5.jar in Oracle SQL Developer for Sysbase connection. Oracle SQL Developer does not browse any objects. Why? Can you please provide a solution?

Hi,
Can you provide some more information into what you are experiencing.
What version of SQL Developer are you using?
Did you install the jtds jar under the
Tools > Preferences > Database > Third Party JDBC Driver
Is the Sybase tab available in the new connection dialog?
Did you select the default database in the connection dialog?
Can you run a query against the Sybase database from the SQL Developer worksheet?
Note that JTDS 1.2 is the only supported version. There maybe issues with other versions.

Dermot.

Problem Dropping Objects in Oracle XE using PL/SQL Developer

Hi all,
I am using PL/SQL Developer to access Oracle XE. I created some tables and later dropped them. But I still see some objects in the PL/SQL Developer Browser under the Tables section.
Below is the name of the objects in I see:
bin$fj7zj7y9rhqujmwrz1zmtg==$0,
bin$frxjknkot4cwtkexm4wtca==$0,
bin$q2m8wls+s72szfufb+mnzw==$0,
bin$syrcyj1bsqcelpfsodudrw==$0,
bin$tjt8ipk6ras8qtx0zvn+6w==$0,
bin$vc6dzazorg6zwemticqdha==$0,
bin$xfrxhcb3s5ev8wkjfc/3vg==$0,
bin$oyrdsi+us+yhhoprzdingq==$0,
bin$vtk7saqqtecbhmdwpnp1bg==$0,
bin$x1hhdhy+trmfponyldjwdw==$0
When I tried dropping these objects, I get ORA - 00933: SQL Command not properly ended. Error deleting bin$fj7zj7y9rhqujmwrz1zmtg==$0
How do I resolve this problem? And then drop all those objects listed above.
Is it possible to drop those objects at all?
Thanks in advance.
Sam.

There is no problem sofar. The objects you see are dropped objects ( if you drop it, oracle silently rename the object but preserve it as long you have sufficient space ).
You shouldn't drop them if you don't have issue with free space - they enable you to get back accidentally dropped table without to have restore the backup ( flashback table). If you are annoyed by displaying it in PL SQL Developer, you can just add a filter to not show them to you ( all objects like 'bin%' ) or you can update to newrer version of PL SQL Developer ( i've 7.0.0.1050 and it is displayed properly, all dropped objects can be found under recyclebin folder ). Finally , if you want purge them, use the 'purge recyclebin' command.
Best regards

SQL Developer Strangeness with database objects beginning with 'AQ'

I have two separate but seemingly related issues.
*1. I am experiencing a situation whereby database objects beginning with the letters 'AQ' are not included when performing a database export from SQL Developer (using the procedure described below).*
Procedure:
1. Create any database objects starting with 'AQ'
2. Tools > Database Export
3. Check every item in the 'Types to Export' step of the Export Wizard
4. Progress to the 'Specify Objects' step of the Export Wizard
Expected:
The 'Specify Objects' step of the Export Wizard lists all database objects
Actual:
The 'Specify Objects' step of the Export Wizard lists all database objects EXCEPT those prefixed with AQ. As these objects are not listed, I am not able to export them.
*2. Sequences that start with the letters 'AQ' do not appear in the object list*
Any sequences starting with the letters 'AQ' are missing from the Sequences list in the left panel of SQL Developer.
At a glance, it appears as though these are symptoms of the same issue that's described in [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=898765&tstart=180]. I have attempted this in versions 1.5.4 and 2.1.1.64 under both Windows XP and Vista. Both exhibit the same problems.
Thanks.
Edited by: thrillhouse on 16-Mar-2010 17:27

I have created a new bug for the first and reopened the bug for the second. In the latter case we fixed the AQ for most nodes, but it seems a few nodes, like the Sequences were not included.

Same icons for objects in SQL Developer as Data Modeler

Hello,
would it be possible to display the same icons for objects in SQL Developer as Data Modeler?
For example:
- in SQLD a session temporary table has the icon of a table with an X symbol, in Data Modeler it is just a table icon.
- in SQLD a materialized view has the icon of a table with 2 arrows, in data Modeler it is just a table icon.
Joop

Hi Joop,
I think you will find that in Data Modeler's Physical Model tree the same icons are used for temporary Tables and Materialized Views as in SQL Developer.

Changed behaviour when handling Oracle Objects in SQL Developer 3.1

In version of SQL Developer before (and including) 3.0, when one executed - F5, run script, not F9, run query - a query that included an SDO_GEOMETRY (oracle object) object the object's elements where displayed in the output text form.
In SQL Developer 3.1 that has changed. Now, one only gets [MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY] as a placeholder.
Many spatial users prefer the former behaviour.
Has something changed in 3.1 that causes this?
Is there a way that I can get the previous behaviour back?
I program the GeoRaptor SQL Developer extension. GeoRaptor has an Addin that allows it to reformat SDO_GEOMETRY objects in a result set on the fly.
Does one need to do something similar now in SQL Developer 3.1?
If so, can you provide an example.
Finally, are there any plans to release Javadoc for the SQL Developer jar files that an extension developer needs to use when constructing an extension?
regards
Simon

In SQL Developer 3.1 that has changed. Now, one only gets [MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY] as a placeholder.

Yes - there has been some history re SDO_GEOMETRY in particular.
See Gary Graham's reply in this thread
Re: Query result window doesn't show contents of collection types

There is some history behind this change. It started with a performance issue populating the grid for SDO_GEOMETRY objects:

OLE object Migration from Access to Oracle through SQL developer

Hello,
I used sql developer 3.1.07(oracle 11g) to perform data migration from MS ACESS.
the MS access data has a column with data type as "OLE object" ---there
saved a lot of pdf files .
Then I performed "copy to oracle" from MS access connection, the OLE data
changed to BLOB from oracle database, and data seems to be copied to
database as binary . However none of the data in the column can be opened. I
download the blob data to a file from sql developer and tried to open
using Adobe 8.1 with no success.
How can I fix this issue? or I should say, how can I migrate MS access OLE data to oracle?
Thanks,
H.M.

thx - will have a look

The original PDF content starts with:
%PDF-1.4

endobj
5 0 obj
<<
/N 3
/Length 12 0 R

stream
But when I try to save the content in the BLOB as a file it claims about a missing mime extension and when I ignore this message and save the file anyway as a PDF the content is corrupted.
It shows as :

Did you also get the missing mime type error message?

Does SQL Developer 3.1 support "Deploy Objects to cloud" ?

Hi, in the document Using Oracle Database Cloud Service, Release 2012.5.31 E27038-01, The following statement is on page 4-3:
To upload data ... (use) SQL Developer cart. Click Deploy Objects to Cloud"
I do not see this option available.
Is this a future enhancement ?
Thanks

It will be there when the Oracle Cloud is released.
