SQL Developer & Unicode Chars

Running SQL Developer on Windows XP.
Tool looks good, just one thing, we have Japanese/Korean text (not much at the moment) in our Oracle 9i/Oracle 10g (AL32UTF8)
When I run the query in the sql editor, the chars appear as small rectangles.
Exporting this as XML and loading into an XML viewer (like IE), all the chars appear fine.
When I copy the text from the data results grid and paste into the sql editor window (after tweaking the prefs), the chars appear fine.
so I am wondering ... how can I get the text in the data grid to show the Japanese text ?
Is there a setting I have missed ? or would this be an enhancement ?
We will be storing more and more international chars and having a tool capable of viewing it would be something we have not found in other tools we have trialed.

In the Prefs -> Environment, ... set encoding to UTF-8
In the Prefs -> Code Editor -> Fonts ... set to "Arial Unicode MS"
Method 1 :
Open a SQL Worksheet
Tap in the sql, when executing the sql with the <F9> key, japanese text is displayed as small rectangles.
When I cut-and-paste the text into the window where the SQL Statement is typed in, I can see the Japanese chars.
Method 2 :
On the connections panel, goto "Other Users", navigate to the table that contains the unicode chars.
Double click on tablename in the left panel, this brings up a "toad like" display, the second tab is the "Data" tab,
and the unicode data is displayed as miniature rectangles.
I am unable to find a setting (in the Prefs) to set the font for the grid the data is displayed in

  • SQL Developer Migrate mySQL to 11g gets ORA-00972 due to 30 char name limit

    I am running MySQL version 5.5.30 server, SQL Developer 3.0.04 Build MAIN-04.34, and Oracle Enterprise Server 11.2.0.1.0, and using Migrate option to move both data dictionary and data from mysql to Oracle
    Most of the steps worked fine using OnLine option: used Capture just fine to generate the repositiory, and Convert generated DDL script just fine in the SQL Developer file folder.
    It failed to create users due to privs, but I created them manually: emulation user and also the MYSQL data schema user, after which I took the generated DDL, connected to my Oracle data schema user, and ran the DDL to basically create all the objects. And found out that over 50 tables / column names from MYSQL are longer then 30 char, and thus the generated DDL fails to create objects..
    Question - I can manually replace the names with shorter 30 char names, but if I do, my data migration step will not work.
    i cannot find references to 'name too long' problem anywhere is SQL Server documentation..
    here is the Oracle error example:
    Error report:
    SQL Error: ORA-00972: identifier is too long
    00972. 00000 - "identifier is too long"
    *Cause:    An identifier with more than 30 characters was specified.
    *Action:   Specify at most 30 characters.
    Creating Primary Key Constraint PRIMARY_1 on table bank_account ...

    Hello,
    have you tried the offline migration option? Then you can probably modify also the ctl file for the SQL*Loader to reflect your changes in the DDL script. I didn't yet try it out, it was just an idea that came to my mind.

  • Inserting and retrieving data from a al32UTF8 database USING SQL Developer

    hi guys,
    Before i post my questions , i think its better for me to provide you guys with my understandings first so that it easier to understand where/if i have gone wrong..
    I am using Window XP and Oracle 10g
    Non-unicode client - a client program that need to use the OS code page for mapping of the retrieved unicode data from the database as well as the support of displaying/inserting the characters from that code page to the database.
    E.G sqlplusw.exe
    Therefore, when using a non-unicode client
    1) we have to set the OS code page (Control panel - regional and language setting - advance - language for non unicode program ) to the code page that contain the characters we are going to display/insert.
    2) we will also have to set the NLS_LANG characterset to the character set of the code page we are going to insert so that when we do a insert (for e.g in thai ) , oracle will know, and auto conversion to UNICODE can take place. This is also true when we retrieve unicode data from the database so that conversion to the correct character set can take place.
    INSERTING
    THAI ---> conversion ----> UNICODE
    RETRIEVING
    THAI <---- conversion <---- UNICODE
    I hope my basic understanding is correct up till this point.
    Unicode client - a client program that supports the displaying/inserting of unicode characters without the need of setting the OS code page (Control panel - regional and language setting - advance - language for non unicode program )
    E.G isqlplus http or SQL developer
    However,
    1) There is still a need to set the NLS_LANG so that correct conversion can take place between the client and the database.
    For e.g, when retrieving if we set the NLS_LANG character set to ZHS16GBK (chinese) and the data store in unicode in database is E.G (THAI) , then the conversion would be wrong .
    Since it is a unicode supported client, then the NLS_LANG character set should be set to UNICODE as well.
    Here come my questions
    *Important - please help if you are busy and have no other time to answer the rest of the questions
    *Q1) If i were to use a unicode client, what should i set my NLS_LANG character set to ?
    AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 ?
    *Q2) Where do i set the NLS_LANG character set information in SQL Developer, i know there is a metalink for setting NLS_LANG using isqlplus but i cant seems to google any result for SQL developer.
    Q3) Is my basic understanding right until this point ? If not, please explain in a more generalised term as i am really not familiar with character sets, code page, unicode , glyphs and fonts..
    Q4) If a unicode client does not need to refer to the OS code page (set in regional and language) , is there a UNICODE code page for the client to refer to , or is there any Window API available ?
    Q5)
    There is still a need to set the NLS_LANG so that correct conversion can take place between the client and the >>database.
    For e.g, when retrieving if we set the NLS_LANG character set to ZHS16GBK (chinese) and the data store in >>unicode in database is E.G (THAI) , then the conversion would be wrong .am i right on this point for UNICODE supported client ?
    Thanks for spending time to read my questions and i hope to hear advices from you guys soon.
    Million thanks again for sharing.
    Best Regards,
    Noob but willing to learn

    The requirement to always set NLS_LANG is not true for JDBC, which ignores NLS_LANG altogether. Java programs fetch text data into String variables, which use Unicode UTF-16 by design. JDBC sets character set conversion so that data is converted between UTF-16 and the database or national character set.
    The requirement to set NLS_LANG is not generally true for OCI, either. The first call in an OCI problem can be OCIEnvNlsCreate(). This call has two parameters that allow the caller to define the character set to use for VARCHAR2/CHAR/LONG/CLOB/statement text and the character set to use for NVARCHAR2/NCHAR/NCLOB. Only if these character sets are specified as 0, NLS_LANG character set is used. Also, OCI programs can specify different character sets for each bind or define variable (i.e. input/output buffer). Note: OCI programs always use NLS_LANG to initialize the language and territory settings for the client program and the database session. Only the character set can be specified is OCIEnvNlsCreate().
    OCIEnvNlsCreate() can specify the client character set as UTF-16 (in platform endianess). This is not possible with NLS_LANG.
    Various interfaces building on OCI, such as Oracle ODBC and ODP .NET, explicitly initialize OCI with Unicode character set, and thus ignore the NLS_LANG character set as well.
    Thnx,
    Sergiusz

  • SQL Developer, UTF8 Oracle DB, extended ascii characters appear as blocks

    I have this value stored on the database:
    (Gestion Económica o Facturaci
    Notice the second word has an extended ascii character in it. When I use SQL Developer on my windows machine to view the data, I get a box in place of the o, kinda like this:
    (Gestion Econ�mica o Facturaci
    If I log on to the AIX server where the oracle database in question is and run sqlplus from there, I see things properly. I also managed to regedit oracle home to get sql plus on my windows machine to display this properly. I still cannot get sql developer to work though...

    This problem is quite strange in that when I've been able to manually set American_america.utf8, things work.Sorry to say, but it seems you may have an incorrect setup.
    In general, you should set char set part of NLS_LANG to let Oracle know the code page used by the client. With win-1252, NLS_LANG should include .WE8MSWIN1252.
    The display from sqlplus was "lying", due to incorrectly stored data coupled by incorrect nls_lang setting (char set part). The pass-through or gigo scenario can be dangerous this way. Search the Globalization forum for the term 'pass-through' for previous discussions on the theme.
    The setting on AIX servers may be incorrect as well, but it depends how you use it (e.g. for database export or data load with utf-8 encoded files it may be correct).
    The output of the query you recommended looks odd to me:
    (Gestion Econ�mica o Facturaci     Typ=1 Len=30 CharacterSet=UTF8:
    28,47,65,73,74,69,6f,6e,20,45,63,6f,6e,f3,6d,69,63,61,20,6f,20,46,61,63,74,75,72,61,63,69;This is the telling part. The 0xF3 is not legal in UTF8. Actually, the code units for ó, U+00F3 Latin small letter o with acute, are C3 B3. So instead of f3 you should have expected c3,b3 from the dump output.
    >
    So it looks like what's under the covers is correct, but I'm still not seeing the correct character in sql developer.The opposite is true. Data is incorrectly stored and SQL Developer is correctly showing you this. Sqlplus is not the best tool in Unicode environments, SQL Developer is better.
    >
    ACP according to my windows registry is 1252. OEMCP is 437Also, if you use database clients in console mode (such as sqlplus), NLS_LANG should include .US8PC437 to properly indicate that code page in use is 437.

  • Top 10 Obstacles to Sql Developer Becoming a World-class Tool

    I've been working with Sql Developer day and night for the last 6 months.
    On a positive note, the SqlDeveloper team has been the most responsive Oracle product team I've worked with in the 19 years I've been working with Oracle tools. They pay attention to their customers. It's noticed and much appreciated!
    I thought I would share the biggest problems that I face with the tool on a daily basis, the kind of problems that make me want to work with a different tool each and every day.
    My intent isn't to gripe, it's to focus attention on the biggest productivity drains I face using the tool. Others may have a different list, based on their needs. Without further ado, here is my top 10 problems list:
    1) Quality Control.
    I cannot count on critical portions of the tool working correctly. This includes an oracle database development tool that is incapable of extracting oracle ddl correctly and which is incapable of correctly displaying information about SQL Server data and database objects. It also includes destroying connection files and losing keyboard settings. When the product was installed, it was incapable of properly displaying code in a worksheet when I scrolled thru the code. The details are listed in other postings of mine.
    2) Quality Control.
    See #1.
    3) Quality Control.
    See #1.
    4) Very badly done threading.
    The tool locks up on a constant basis when it does a many tasks. Rather than let me work on some other task, I have to wait for it to complete. My current work-around is to have two or three sql developer windows open. That sucks life out of my RAM supply, but at least I can get some work done. And, of course, it will often completely lock up and never return, which means I lose all unsaved worksheets. This forum is full of postings about these issues.
    5) Memory Leaks / Internal memory corruption.
    If I've had the tool open for a few days, or really worked it hard for a day, I will get bizarre compilation errors that make no sense. If I exit the tool, re-enter the tool, and compile the exact same code all will be well.
    6) Awkward and slow data entry interface for frequently performed tasks.
    Example: I create a new table and want to start defining columns for it. I remove my hands from the keyboard to press the + button, then I have to set focus on the column name field (it should do that for me!). Now that my hands are back on the keyboard, I have to backspace the dummy "column name" value in the column name field (it should ditch that dummy value for me). Only after all that can I actually enter a column name. When I want to add a new column, it's back to the mouse again, for the same drill. The down arrow key should take me to a new column record, as should pressing return at the end of the last field in the column row.
    7) Destroys code
    Changing a column datatype from varchar2 to nvarchar2 destroys the length of the column. Changing a field on a view destroys the instead of triggers. This is bad. There is no warning that this this is about to happen, which would at least give us a chance to avoid the problem. Better still, of course, would be not destroying that data.
    8) Inaccurate checking for record locking.
    When I try to edit records in a data grid for a table, I often get an error message telling me the data was modified in another session. It is simply not true. A hand-written update statement in a sql worksheet will work just fine. I've seen posts in the forum discussing this issue. An Oracle database development tool unable to reliably update oracle data tables is embarrassing. See Obstacle #1.
    9) Unicode support
    Sql Developer is heads above all the other tools I've tried out on this topic.
    However, the configuration of the tool to provide unicode support needs to be simplified.
    The tool needs to recognize the encoding of the files that are being opened up. On Windows Vista, Notepad seems to infallibly pick the right encoding for the file when I open it. Sql Developer should do the same. Files have specific encodings, the tool should have a default encoding (that I can override). Right now, the tool has a specific encoding and expects all files to match it. Extracting ddl to a worksheet does not respect the encoding choices of the tool, either. It only works with a limited set of tool encoding choices.
    10) Resources
    Does the sql developer team have the resources they need to compete with vendors like Microsoft? One really big reason for picking sqlserver over oracle is the ease of use of the Microsoft front-end tools. It's not until later that they may realize that Oracle has more capability, but that's still a lost sale.

    We are acutely aware of quality and with each release work at improving this. Providing a polished, professional and ultimately user friendly and useful tool is our constant goal.
    The broader our customer base grows, the more demands we have. This is a good and exciting position to be in, although it might mean that we need to slow down on our release cycles.
    Release 2.0 should address more of the threading and memory leaks displayed as the team have rewritten some of the sections. As for resources, it's true we're a small team and we get on with the work that we do.It might be a little slower than some would like, but I'm not convinced that having large team is necessarily always the answer.
    As ever, some of the points mentioned could be added to the Exchange. We'll be reviewing and updating the Exchange again in the New Year.
    I think there is another point to add to your list. A lot of what the tool is and will become is from a positive customer interaction we have had to date. While we continue to grow this, I think the product will grow and improve. The forum and all the positive interactions that happen here are key to taking the product forward.
    Regards
    Sue

  • Explain plan results are different in SQL Developer than SQL Plus

    My Environment:
    SQL Developer 1.0.0.15.27
    Platform where SQL Developer is running: Windows XP 2002 SP2
    Oracle Database and Client 9.2.0.7
    Optimizer_mode: FIRST_ROWS
    I have the following SQL statement:
    SELECT a1.comp_id
    FROM temp_au_company a0, au_company a1
    WHERE :b2 = a0.temp_emp_code
    AND a0.comp_id = a1.comp_id
    AND a0.sls_terr_code != a1.sls_terr_code
    AND a1.last_mdfy_date > :b1
    When I run an Explain in SQL Developer I get the following access path (which is the one I really want):
    SELECT STATEMENT                          TABLE ACCESS(BY INDEX ROWID) FEDLINK.AU_COMPANY          NESTED LOOPS                                   INDEX(RANGE SCAN)
    FEDLINK.UX2_TEMP_AU_COMPANY
              INDEX(RANGE SCAN) FEDLINK.PX1_COMPANY
    However, when I execute the statement with sql_trace turned on and use tkprof to generate the actual access path, the statement executes as follows (which is WAY more expensive):
    call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows
    Parse 1 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0
    Execute 1 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0

    total 3 3.58 6.69 28136 29232 0 0
    Misses in library cache during parse: 1
    Optimizer goal: FIRST_ROWS

    Rows Row Source Operation
    0 NESTED LOOPS
    0 TABLE ACCESS FULL AU_COMPANY
    0 INDEX RANGE SCAN UX2_TEMP_AU_COMPANY (object id 49783)
    Notice the FULL access of au_company.
    I understand that SQL Developer has nothing to do with why the statement executed the way it did, but why is the Explain in SQL Developer different than the actual execution plan?
    Added note....when I run the explain in SQL Plus it is the same as the actual execution. Here is the explain from SQL Plus:
    explain plan for SELECT a1.comp_id
    FROM temp_au_company a0, au_company a1
    WHERE '1' = a0.temp_emp_code
    AND a0.comp_id = a1.comp_id
    AND a0.sls_terr_code != a1.sls_terr_code
    AND a1.last_mdfy_date > '01-MAY-2006';

    | 3 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | UX2_TEMP_AU_COMPANY | 1 | 17 | 2
    Thanks,
    Brenda

    The explain is different (full scan of au_company in SQL Plus / index access in SQL Developer) even when I use variables in SQL Plus. Here is the output for SQL Plus using variables instead of literals:
    SQL> variable b1 varchar2
    SQL> variable b2 char
    SQL> explain plan for SELECT a1.comp_id
    2 FROM temp_au_company a0, au_company a1

  • GeoRaptor 3.0 for SQL Developer 3.0 and 2.1 has now been released

    Folks,
    I am pleased to announce that, after 5 months of development and testing, a new release of GeoRaptor for SQL Developer 2.1 and 3.0 is now available.
    GeoRaptor for SQL Developer 3 is available via the SQL Developer Update centre. GeoRaptor 3 for SQL Developer 2.1 is being made available
    via a download fro the GeoRaptor website.
    No release notes have been compiled as the principal developer (oops, that's me!) is currently busy doing real work for a change (another 3 weeks), earning a living
    and keeping the wolves at bay. More extensive notes (with images) will be compiled when I get back. (Unless anyone is offering! See next.)
    We are still looking for people to:
    1. Provide translations of the English dialog menus etc.
    2. Write more extensive user documentation. If you use a particular part of GeoRaptor a lot and think
    you have found out all its functionality and quirks, contact us and offer to write a few pages of
    documentation on it. (Open Office or Microsoft Word is fine.) Easiest way to do this is to simply
    make screen captures and annotate with text.
    3. Conduct beta testing.
    Here are the things that are in the new release.
    New functionality:
    Overhaul of Validation Functionality.
    1. User can specify own validation SELECT SQL as long as it returns three required columns. The SQL is thus totally editable.
    2. Validation update code now allows user to associate a PL/SQL function with an error number which is applied in the UPDATE SQL.
    3. UPDATE SQL can use WHERE clause of validation SELECT SQL (1) to update specific errors.
       NOTE: The generated UPDATE statement can be manually edited. It is NEVER run by GeoRaptor. To run any UPDATE, copy the statement
       to the clipboard and run in an appropriate SQL Worksheet session within SQL Developer.
    4. Main validation table allows:
       a. Sorting (click on column header) and
       b. Filtering.
       c. Copying to Clipboard via right mouse click sub menu of:
          - Geometry's SDO_ELEM_INFO array constructor.
          - SDO_GEOMETRY constructor
          - Error + validation string.
       d. Access to Draw/Zoom functions which were previously buttons.
       e. Added a new right mouse click menu "Show Feature's Individual Errors" that gathers up all the errors
          it can process - along with the ring / element that is host to the error (if it can) - and displays
          them in the Attribute/Geometry tabs at the bottom of the Map Window (where "Identify" places its results).
          The power of this will be evident to all those who have wanted a way of stepping through errors in a geometry.
       f. Selected rows can now be deleted (select rows: press <DELETE> key or right mouse click>Delete).
       g. Table now has only one primary key column, and has a separate error column holding the actual error code.
       h. Right mouse click men added to table menu to display description of error in the new column (drawn from Oracle documentation)
       i. Optimisations added to improve performance for large error lists.
    5. Functionality now has its own validation layer that is automatically added to the correct view.
       Access to layer properties via button on validation dialog or via normal right mouse click in view/layer tree.
    Improved Rendering Options.
    1. Linestring colour can now be random or drawn from column in database (as per Fill and Point colouring)
    2. Marking of SDO_GEOMETRY objects overhauled.
       - Ability to mark or LABEL vertices/points of all SDO_GEOMETRY types with coordinate identifier and
         option {X,Y} location. Access is via Labelling tab in layer>properties. Thus, coordinate 25 of a linestring
         could be shown as: <25> or {x,y} or <25> {x,y}
       - There is a nice "stacked" option where the coordinate {x,y} can be written one line below the id.
       - For linestrings and polygons the <id> {x,y} label can be oriented to the angle between the vectors or
         edges that come in, and go out of, a vertex. Access is via "Orient" tick box in Labelling tab.
       - Uses Tools>Preferences>GeoRaptor>Visualisation>SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY bracket around x,y string.
    3. Start point of linestring/polygon and all other vertices can be marked with user selectable point marker
       rather than previously fixed markers.
    4. Can now set a NULL point marker by selecting "None" for point marker style pulldown menu.
    5. Positioning of the arrow for linestring/polygons has extra options:
       * NONE
       * START    - All segments of a line have the arrow positioned at the start
       * MIDDLE   - All segments of a line have the arrow positioning in the middle.
       * END      - All segments of a line have the arrow positioning in the END.
       * END_ONLY - Only the last segment has an arrow and at its end.
    ScaleBar.
    1. A new graphic ScaleBar option has been added for the map of each view.
       For geographic/geodetic SRIDs distances are currently shown in meters;
       For all SRIDs an attempt is made to "adapt" the scaleBar units depending
       on the zoom level. So, if you zoom right in you might get the distance shown
       as mm, and as you zoom out, cm/m/km as appropriate.
    2. As the scaleBar is drawn, a 1:<DEMONINATOR> style MapScale value is written
       to the map's right most status bar element.
    3. ScaleBar and MapScale can be turned off/on in View>Properties right mouse
       click menu.
    Export Capabilities.
    1. The ability to export a selection from a result set table (ie result of
       executing ad-hoc SQL SELECT statement to GML, KML, SHP/TAB (TAB file
       adds TAB file "wrapper" over SHP) has been added.
    2. Ability to export table/view/materialised view to GML, KML, SHP/TAB also
       added. If no attributes are selected when exporting to a SHP/TAB file, GeoRaptor
       automatically adds a field that holds a unique row number.
    3. When exporting to KML:
       * one can optionally export attributes.
       * Web sensitive characters < > & etc for KML export are replaced with &gt; &lt; &amp; etc.
       * If a column in the SELECTION or table/view/Mview equals "name" then its value is
         written to the KML tag <name> and not to the list of associated attributes.
         - Similarly for "description" -> <description> AND "styleUrl" -> <styleUrl>
    4. When exporting to GML one can optionally export attributes in FME or OGR "flavour".
    5. Exporting Measured SDO_GEOMETRY objects to SHP not supported until missing functionality
       in GeoTools is corrected (working with GeoTools community to fix).
    6. Writing PRJ and MapInfo CoordSys is done by pasting a string into appropriate export dialog box.
       Last value pasted is remembered between sessions which is useful for users who work with a single SRID.
    7. Export directory is remembered between sessions in case a user uses a standard export directory.
    8. Result sets containing MDSYS.SDO_POINT and/or MDSYS.VERTEX_TYPE can also be written to GML/KML/SHP/TAB.
       Example:
       SELECT a.geom.sdo_point as point
         FROM (SELECT sdo_geometry(2002,null,sdo_point_type(1,2,null),sdo_elem_info_array(1,2,1),sdo_ordinate_array(1,1,2,2)) as geom
                 FROM DUAL) a;
       SELECT mdsys.vertex_type(a.x,a.y,a.z,a.w,a.v5,a.v6,a.v7,a.v8,a.v9,a.v10,a.v11,a.id) as vertex
         FROM TABLE(mdsys.sdo_util.getVertices(mdsys.sdo_geometry(2002,null,null,sdo_elem_info_array(1,2,1),sdo_ordinate_array(1,1,2,2)))) a;
    9. A dialog appears at the end of each export which details (eg total) what was exported when the exported recordset/table contains more
       than on shape type. For example, if you export only points eg 2001/3001 from a table that also contains multipoints eg 2005/3005 then
       the number of points exported, and multipoints skipped will be displayed.
    10. SHP/TAB export is "transactional". If you set the commit interval to 100 then only 100 records are held in memory before writing.
        However, this does not currently apply to the associated DBASE records.
    11. SHP/TAB export supports dBase III, dBase III + Memo, dBase IV and dBase IV + Memo.
        Note: Memo allows text columns > 255 characters to be exported. Non-Memo formats do not and any varchar2 columns will be truncated
        to 255 chars. Some GIS packages support MEMO eg Manifold GIS, some do not.
    12. Note. GeoRaptor does not ensure that the SRID of SDO_GEOMETRY data exported to KML is in the correct Google Projection.
        Please read the Oracle documentation on how to project your data is this is necessary. An example is:
        SELECT OBJECTID,
               CODIGO as name,
               NOME as description,
               MI_STYLE,
               SDO_CS.TRANSFORM(shape,'USE_SPHERICAL',4055) as shape
          FROM MUB.REGIONAL;
    13. NOTE: The SHP exporter uses the Java Topology Suite (JTS) to convert from SDO_GEOMETRY to the ESRI Shape format. JTS does not handle
        circular curves in SDO_GEOMETRY objects you must "stroke" them using sdo_util.arc_densify(). See the Oracle documentation on how
        to use this.
    Miscellaneous.
    1. Selection View - Measurement has been modified so that the final result only shows those geometry
       types that were actually measured.
    2. In Layer Properties the Miscellaneous tab has been removed because the only elements in it were the
       Geometry Output options which have now been replaced by the new GML/KML/etc export capabilities.
    3. Shapefile import's user entered tablename now checked for Oracle naming convention compliance.
    4. Identify based on SDO_NN has been removed from GeoRaptor given the myriad problems that it seems to create across versions
       and partitioned/non-partitioned tables. Instead SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE is now used with the actual search distance (see circle
       in map display): everything within that distance is returned.
    5. Displaying/Not displaying embedded sdo_point in line/polygon (Jamie Keene), is now controlled by
       a preference.
    6. New View Menu options to switch all layers on/off
    7. Tools/Preferences/GeoRaptor layout has been improved.
    8. If Identify is called on a geometry a new right mouse click menu entry has been added called "Mark" which
       has two sub-menus called ID and ID(X,Y) that will add the labeling to the selected geometry independently of
       what the layer is set to being.
    9. Two new methods for rendering an SDO_GEOMETRY object in a table or SQL recordset have been added: a) Show geometry as ICON
       and b) Show geometry as THUMBNAIL. When the latter is chosen, the actual geometry is shown in an image _inside_ the row/column cell it occupies.
       In addition, the existing textual methods for visualisation: WKT, KML, GML etc have been collected together with ICON and THUMBNAIL in a new
       right mouse click menu.
    10. Tables/Views/MViews without spatial indexes can now be added to a Spatial View. To stop large tables from killing rendering, a new preference
        has been added "Table Count Limit" (default 1,000) which controls how many geometry records can be displayed. A table without a spatial
        index will have its layer name rendered in Italics and will write a warning message in red to the status bar for each redraw. Adding an index
        which the layer exists will be recognised by GeoRaptor during drawing and switch the layer across to normal rendering.
    Some Bug Fixes.
    * Error in manage metadata related to getting metadata across all schemas
    * Bug with no display of rowid in Identify results fixed;
    * Some fixes relating to where clause application in geometry validation.
    * Fixes bug with scrollbars on view/layer tree not working.
    * Problem with the spatial networks fixed. Actions for spatial networks can now only be done in the
      schema of the current user, as it could happen that a user opens the tree for another schema that
      has the same network as in the user's schema. Dropping a drops only the network of the current connected user.
    * Recordset "find sdo_geometry cell" code has been modified so that it now appears only if a suitable geometry object is
      in a recordset.  Please note that there is a bug in SQL Developer (2.1 and 3.0) that causes SQL Developer to not
      register a change in selection from a single cell to a whole row when one left clicks at the left-most "row number"
      column that is not part of the SELECT statements user columns, as a short cut to selecting a whole row.  It appears
      that this is a SQL Developer bug so nothing can be done about it until it is fixed. To select a whole row, select all
      cells in the row.
    * Copy to clipboard of SDO_GEOMETRY with M and Z values forgot has extraneous "," at the end.
    * Column based colouring of markers fixed
    * Bunch of performance improvements.
    * Plus (happily) others that I can't remember!If you find any bugs register a bug report at our website.
    If you want to help with testing, contact us at our website.
    My thanks for help in this release to:
    1. John O'Toole
    2. Holger Labe
    3. Sandro Costa
    4. Marco Giana
    5. Luc van Linden
    6. Pieter Minnaar
    7. Warwick Wilson
    8. Jody Garnett (GeoTools bug issues)
    Finally, when at the Washington User Conference I explained the willingness of the GeoRaptor Team to work
    for some sort of integration of our "product" with the new Spatial extension that has just been released in SQL
    Developer 3.0. Nothing much has come of that initial contact and I hope more will come of it.
    In the end, it is you, the real users who should and will decide the way forward. If you have ideas, wishes etc,
    please contact the GeoRaptor team via our SourceForge website, or start a "wishlist" thread on this forum
    expressing ideas for future functionality and integration opportunities.
    regards

    Thank you for this.
    I have been messing around with this last few days, and i really love the feature to pinpoint the validation errors on map.
    I has always been so annoying to try pinpoint these errors using some other GIS software while doing your sql.
    I have stumbled to few bugs:
    1. In "Validate geometry column" dialog checking option "Use DimInfo" actually still uses value entered in tolerance text box.
    I found this because in my language settings , is the decimal operators
    2. In "Validate geometry column" dialog textboxs showing sql, doesn't always show everything from long lines of text (clipping text from right)
    3. In "Validate geometry column" dialog the "Create Update SQL" has few bugs:
    - if you have selected multiple rows from results and check the "Use Selected Geometries" the generated IN-clause in SQL with have same rowid (rowid for first selected result) for all entries
    Also the other generated IN clause in WHERE-clause is missing separator if you select more than one corrective function
    4. "Validate geometry column" dialog stays annoyingly top most when using "Create Update SQL" dialog

  • SQL Developer create wrong SQL for creation of Database link

    Hi,
    I tried to create Database link to another machine through SQL Developer. and I got error message saying "Sql not properly ended" or similar.
    I copy-paste the sql to sqlplus shell and I found that the problem came from password part of database link so the generated from SQL Plus is something like:
    SQL> CREATE DATABASE LINK mytest CONNECT TO anotherDB IDENTIFIED BY 1234 USING 'OtherServiceName';
    but it should be
    SQL> CREATE DATABASE LINK mytest CONNECT TO anotherDB IDENTIFIED BY "1234" USING 'OtherServiceName';
    so if I type in the password field
    "1234" which is ****** /6 chars/ the database link was created correctly.
    Could you check and fix this in next release of the SQL Developer?
    Otherwise the Application is very good and far ahead from TORA :)

    Thanks, I didn't notice that for passwords. So it's most definately my problem that the SQL Developer . :)
    Thank you for clarification!
    Offtopic: I am searching for DB Comparison tool which could compare 2 schemas and return me the differences and the sync script. Do you know any /free if possible/? There is such thing in TOAD but I am on Linux and I prefer to use something else. :)
    Thank you in advance

  • SQL Developer High Memory Consumption 3.2.20.09.87

    Hello,
    I have been using SQL developer for quite some time and had initially had problems in the past with high memory consuption when I use this tool.
    I have received and applied advice from this forum and while it had helped a little, the majority of the high memory consuption remained an issue.
    I finally got more time to dig around and try to specifically isolate where the problem seems to be coming from and here is what I found.
    *1)* I have removed the Check for Updates feature
    *2)* I have turned off many of the extensions except for DBA Navigator, Real Time SQL Monitoring, SearchBar and Snippet.
    *3)* When I start a fresh SQL Developer Session and initiate a Oracle Connection the application consumes roughly 148 meg fo RAM
    *4)* When I open my Windows Task Manager and watch the memory allocated to SQL Developer I notice it goes up when I move my mouse over the SQL Developer tool and When I run through menus at roughly 5k a second or so and the memory is never released back to the system.
    *5)* When I run a Large SQL to the grid the memory jumps by about 100 meg or so and will continue to do so every time I repeat the SQL until SQL Developer consumes roughly 748 meg of RAM.
    *6)* 748 Meg of RAM seems to be the number when SQL Developer (with one Oracle connection) no longer continues to consume more and then not return the memory to the system.
    Is there a way to have SQL Developer automatically clear up it's active memory usage without closing it down and restarting it?
    Why does SQL Developer continue to consume more and more memory just from moving your mouse over it and/or by navigating menus?

    Aces!!! You nailed it Gary...
    Thank you.
    I applied fixed noted in Re: Reduce SQLDeveloper memory footprint with JDK 1.7
    For others, to summarize my changes.
    product\11.2.0\client_3\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf
    AddVMOption -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions
    AddVMOption -XX:+UseG1GC
    AddVMOption -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50
    AddVMOption -XX:GCPauseIntervalMillis=200
    AddVMOption -XX:MaxPermSize=128M
    AddVMOption -Xms50M
    AddVMOption -Xmx384M
    AddVMOption -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=10
    AddVMOption -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=10
    product\11.2.0\client_3\sqldeveloper\ide\bin\ide.conf
    comment the following two lines as shown below
    #AddVMOption -Xmx640M
    #AddVMOption -Xms128M
    Now SQL Developer runs at roughly 500 meg.
    I guess the only thing I have left to ask others reviewing this would be if there is a way to get these memory values down without having much adverse impacts on SQL Developer based on newer JVM switches/functionalities.
    The posts that drove these changes are old from a technologoical perspective :) 2010.

  • Tnsnames.ora file does not seem to load in SQL Developer

    I've really tried my best to figure this out on my own ... through the Help, this forum, and Internet in general. I apoligize in advance for having to ask this, since I'm sure this is a common issue. This particular form entry was really close:
    Database Connections will not load tnsnames.ora
    But, I just can seem to figure out why, or where entries from my tnsnames.ora file are loading into SQL Developer.
    - I have the TNS_ADMIN system environment variable defined to the directory where tnsnames.ora is stored - C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\NETWORK\ADMIN.
    - I do not see a TNS tab as the forum entry above indicates anywhere in SQL Developer - This may be my problem.
    It seems that this issue could be cleared up with better directions on how to import tnsnames.ora entries into SQL Developer. Is there any specific direction on how to get your tnsnames.ora file setup correctly with SQL Developer running on Windows XP - Besides the Help which mentions the setup of TNS_ADMIN, but doesn't really tell you what the expected result is, or where the entries will be, or how to verify this is working?
    Any help would be most appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Using Windows XP/Vista...
    After testing in our environment, it appears that SQL Developer 1.5.1 (5440) does in fact ignore the TNS_ADMIN environment variable and ONLY looks in the Oracle Home directory (network/admin). We define a central network location for our tnsnames file and have the tns_admin setup to point there instead of locally for our users.
    When selecting to add a new connection (in 1.5.1, it works in previously releases... meaning 1.2.something) and selecting TNS, the drop-down remains empty. However, if I exit SQL Developer and then copy the tnsnames file to the local network/admin directory I can then re-launch SQL Developer and the drop-down is populated. Exiting SQL Developer again, deleting the local copy of tnsnames, and then launching SQL Developer yet again results in the drop-down being empty.
    All other Oracle-related applications function as expected (as they have for years) using the TNS_ADMIN environment variable.
    Any suggestions/ideas?

  • Data Miner Extension in SQL Developer 4.0 EA3 Release: EA3 Repository Migration Failure

    The Data Miner extension in the SQL Developer 4.0 EA3 release fails when attempting to migrate the repository to EA3. This posting contains instructions on how to recover from this failure as well as to successful migrate the repository from EA2 to EA3. There are no problems when just installing a fresh Data Miner repository.
    Sorry about the difficulty if this has caused you any problems.
    Mark
    Failure message displayed in log when migrating to EA3:
    Error report -
    ORA-06550: line 96, column 40:
    PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type
    ORA-06550: line 96, column 7:
    PL/SQL: Statement ignored
    06550. 00000 -  "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
    *Cause:    Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
    *Action:
    Instructions on how to recover from failure and continue using original version of SQL Developer:
    1) Execute the following sql as SYS in order to allow the Data Miner repository to be open for use again:
    UPDATE ODMRSYS.ODMR$REPOSITORY_PROPERTIES
    SET PROPERTY_STR_VALUE = 'LOADED'
    WHERE PROPERTY_NAME = 'REPOSITORY_STATUS';
    COMMIT;
    2) During attempted migrationto EA3 failed, access priviliges to the Data Miner repository are revoked from users. In order to use Data Miner again, these grants must be reapplied. You can either use the UI guided process to accomplish this, which requires the SYS password, or you can run the usergrants.sql script, again as the SYS user. For instructions on how to run the usergrants.sql script, or any adminstrative script, review the instructions contained in the install_scripts_readme.html file. You can find this file in the SQL Developer directories created when you unzipped SQL Developer. It is located in the following relative directory: \<SQL Developer Install Directory>\sqldeveloper\dataminer\scripts.
    Instructions on how to successfully migrate to EA3.
    If you have already attempted to migrate to EA3 and failed, then you need to perform the recovery instructions noted above, after which you can continue with the instructions below.
    If you have not yet attempted to migrate to EA3, then just following the instructions below.
    1) Replace all contents the script file createxmlworkflowsbackup.sql with specification contained at the end of this posting. The file to edit can be found in the \<SQL Developer Install Directory>\sqldeveloper\dataminer\scripts directory.
    2) After completing the edit to createxmlworkflowsbackup.sql,  you can proceed with the UI guided migration or perform the migration using the appropriate migration script. Review the install_scripts_readme.html file in the /dataminer/scripts directory for instructions on how to perform the migration using the script. For the UI migration, simply open any user connection in your Data Miner navigator, and you will be prompted to perform the migration.

  • Nothing works in SQL Developer 1.2

    I have been using SQL Developer for quite a long time, and never had any issues - until I downloaded version 1.2. Note, I did not do an upgrade and I did not do a migration from an earlier version. This is a clean install on SQL Developer 1.2 with bundled JRE.
    After I connect to a database I can write SQL statements and get a result. The problems starts if I use the object browser.
    1. Expand Table results in:
    ava.lang.NullPointerException
         at java.lang.System.arraycopy(Native Method)
         at oracle.net.ns.DataPacket.putDataInBuffer(Unknown Source)

    2. Expand Indexes results in:
    ORA-01460 00000 unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested
    3. Expand Package, Function, Procedures, Triggers or Types and nothing happens even though I have my schema own such objects.
    4. All the other objects in the object browser reports the same errors as listed above. The only thing that works is the Public Synonyms.
    5. If I encounter any of the above errors I am not able to use the SQL worksheet properly any longer. Any queries (even SELECT * FROM dual) shows nothing in the results window and the status bar says "All rows fetched: 0"
    Help! I miss SQL Developer. Now I am stucked with Toad :/

    Help -> About -> Properties says:
    "XML Editing Framework IDE Extension     oracle.ide.xmlef     11.1.1.0.11.41.91     Missing dependencies: oracle.ide.daf, oracle.ide.palette2"
    But I don't think this is the root cause since this is a clean install, so every download of SQLDeveloper probably miss these dependencies.

  • SQL Developer 1.5.1 - warning messages generated by CREATE TABLE

    Hi,
    Have an issue with a CREATE TABLE statement - it works correctly, but generates a warning message when used in SQL Developer (1.2 or 1.5.1). Full test case below:
    Setup:
    drop table samplenames;
    drop table customers;
    drop table phones;
    drop table customers_phone;
    drop sequence primkey;
    create table samplenames
    (name VARCHAR2(10));
    insert into samplenames values ('dan');
    insert into samplenames values ('joe');
    insert into samplenames values ('bob');
    insert into samplenames values ('sam');
    insert into samplenames values ('weslington');
    insert into samplenames values ('sue');
    insert into samplenames values ('ann');
    insert into samplenames values ('mary');
    insert into samplenames values ('pam');
    insert into samplenames values ('lucy');
    create sequence primkey

    increment by 1;
    create table customers as
    select primkey.nextval as cust_id,
    tmp1.name || tmp2.name as first_name,
    tmp3.name || tmp4.name || tmp5.name as last_name
    from samplenames tmp1,
    samplenames tmp2,

    I am on 10.2.0.3. The CREATE TABLE always completes successfully, but the warning bugs me, and I have had no success tracking it down since there is no associated numberr.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi ,
    The Oracle JDBC driver is returning this warning so I will be logging an issue with them, but for the moment SQL Developer will continue to report the warning as is.
    The reason for the warning is not clear or documented as far as I can tell,
    but I have replicated the issue with a simpler testcase which makes it easier to have a guess about the issue :)
    ----START
    DROP TABLE sourcetable ;
    CREATE TABLE sourcetable(col1 char);
    INSERT INTO sourcetable VALUES('M');
    DROP TABLE customers_phone;
    CREATE TABLE customers_phone AS
    SELECT MAX(decode(col1, 'm','OK' , NULL)) COLALIAS
    FROM sourcetable;
    ----END
    The warning occurs in the above script in SQL Developer , but not in SQL*Plus.
    The warning disappears when we change 'm' to 'M'.
    The warning disappears when we change NULL to 'OK2'
    In all cases the table creates successfully and the appropriate values inserted.
    My gut feeling is ...
    During the definition of customers_phone, Oracle has to work out what the COLALIAS datatype is.
    When it sees NULL as the only alternative (as sourcetable.col1 = 'M' not 'm') it throws up a warning. It then has to rely on the 'OK' value to define the COLALIAS datatype, even though the 'OK' value wont be inserted as sourcetable.col1 = 'M' and not 'm'. So Oracle makes the correct decision to define the COLALIAS as VARCHAR2(2), but the warning is just to say it had to use the alternative value to define the column.
    Why SQL*Plus does not report it and JDBC does, I'm not sure. Either way it doesn't look like a real issue.
    Again, this is just a guess and not a fact.
    Just though an update was in order.
    Regards,
    Dermot.

  • Urgent Help !!!  Export data into insert format (Oracle Sql developer)

    Hi all,
    Please help , when i try to export ms access table which have 400,000 over rows to insert format using oracle sql developer 1.5.5. After the export have done the exported file xxx.sql is empty.
    Is it because of too many rows? or what tool or function should i use for exporting table with many rows.
    It used to have exported successfully with
    Insert into table( ) values ();
    Insert into table( ) values ();
    Insert into table( ) values ();
    Insert into table( ) values ();
    ----- when i try to export table with over 10,000 row.
    Regard,
    Tun

    Another option is to export your file as Formatted text (space delimited). This will create a fixed format file. You can either create an external table to access the file or use sqlloader to load it. In your control file or access parameters you will specify the positions of the fields you are interested in. Your control file will look something like this:
    OPTIONS (BINDSIZE=50000,ERRORS=50,ROWS=200,READSIZE=65536)
    LOAD DATA
    CHARACTERSET US7ASCII
    INFILE '/home/FIXED_FORMAT.dat' "FIX 58"
    CONCATENATE 1
    INTO TABLE "EMP2"
    APPEND
    REENABLE DISABLED_CONSTRAINTS
    "ID" POSITION(1:2) INTEGER(2) ,
    "REGION" POSITION(3:3) INTEGER EXTERNAL(1) ,
    "DEPT" POSITION(4:6) INTEGER EXTERNAL(3) ,
    "HIRE_DATE" POSITION(7:14) DATE(8) "mmddyyyy" ,
    "SALARY" POSITION(15:19) DECIMAL(9,2) ,
    "NAME" POSITION(20:34) CHAR(15)
    SQLDeveloper does not currently provide an option to import fixed format files.

  • SQL Developer table editor does not show anything (no columns, no data,...)

    Hi, I upgraded SQL developer yesterday to the latest version. Now I don't see anything any more in the datagrid, columns, constraints, etc ...
    Connection is OK, in the explorer (to the left) I see tables and columns, in the datagrid (table properties) I don't see anything.
    Here is the contents of the about box
    Many thanks
