  • SQL DM - Copy/Export data models - bug?

    SQL DM - Copy/Export data models - bug?
    I am using SQL DM 3.0.0.665. I need your thoughts on following.
    We used saved as/export of the SQL DM copy the model into another location. We kept our models in harddrive as folder. We did not store it in database.
    We opened the copied model from target model. We found all the links to defined domain was lost. We find the data type shows as Varchar2 instead of Varchar2(20)etc. It creates error on sql.
    Why are loosing the domain definition/linkages during export/save as option?
    Is it a bug?
    Did anyone face such issues?
    What is the workaround?
    Thanks in helping us out.

    Hello,
    Thanks for your reply. I followed the steps. I did copy the folders/files as Kent suggested.
    As we installed the SQL developer on new desktop, it showed the domain definitions as unknown and count as 1 in Design Tree --> domain node. We copied all the xml files under C:\datamodeler\datamodeler\types folder of Desktop A to Desktop B. It brought all the domain definitions of Design in Desktop A.
    Why does it not keeping this domain definitions as part of Design folders?
    If we copy or save as the design , then domain also cane be saved as part of design. It will be difficult to make a sync of datamodels among multiple desktops.
    How do we establish a shareable/sync data models using SQL data Modeler on such situations?
    Thanks in helping.

  • Queries in SQL developper do not return anything?

    Hello there,
    First of I am completely new to Oracle and IT in general. Apart from having used computers since the heyday my knowledge of programming is very little. I have been reading Oracle documentation and bought the CBT nuggets tutorials to prepare for examination.
    I have followed the instructions to install the HR schema which worked in SQL*Plus but whenever i go into SQL developper and create a connection using the same username/password as I did in SQL*plus, then type in the select table_name from user_tables; query, nothing happens.
    What am I doing wrong? Am i simply not connecting to the same DB?
    Thanks in advance

    So when i set up the HR schema using SQL plus and was prompted to give a password for HR, i did that. Now when i open up the SQL plus (as administrator) and log in using username HR and the password i set for it, I can access the Schema's default tables such as employees.
    However on SQL developper, I open up a new connection called HR and put the same password that HR uses on SQL plus but whenever I attempt a select statement there are no returns. It just seems like SQL developper is not connected to the database.
    I am currently using the CBT nuggers tutorial for the fundamentals exam 1z0-051 and the tutorial uses both SQL developer and SQL plus.
    I appreciate all the responses but unfortunately I am stuck :(
    I get this message when i go to Query builder:
    Text is not a valid, single SELECT statement.
    Syntax Error at line 4, column 9
    select * employees;
    ^^^
    Expected: ',','BULK','FROM','INTO',BULK_COLLECT_opt,from_clause,into_list,

  • SQL Developper Reports

    I usually use a combination of Oracle SQL Developer and Toad on a daily basis.
    Recently, Toad has been going crazy on me, for some reason, McAfee starts going ballistic everytime TOAD is launched.
    My problem is that, SQL Developer doesn't work for "Reporting" (as far as I know), so I've always been forced to use TOAD instead.
    Does anyone know how to make "Reporting" possible in SQL developper? What I do is pretty simple, I'm writing reports to support an operation; the report contains the dates, client names etc. formatted in a certain (simple) manner. I then execute SQL queries and display the results at the bottom of the report header.
    Examples of code returning errors:
    line 1: SQLPLUS Command Skipped: set pagesize 9999
    line 2: SQLPLUS Command Skipped: set linesize 112
    line 4: SQLPLUS Command Skipped: column Reg FORMAT A9 HEADING 'REGION': only "column .. new_value .." supported
    line 5: SQLPLUS Command Skipped: column RELD FORMAT A12 HEADING 'RELEASE|DATE': only "column .. new_value .." supported
    The following:
    SET TERMOUT OFF
    COLUMN curdate NEW_VALUE report_date
    SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YYYY') curdate
    FROM DUAL;
    will display in the output window :
    CURDATE
    07-JAN-2011
    Instead of showing nothing (TERMOUT OFF).
    At the end of my output window, I see the results of my query but with the desired column names missing...
    Any ideas? How could I make this work?

    This isn't what you asked (specifically how to format ouput in SQL*Developer) but ...
    Is there any reason why you can't use SQL*PLUS to do your reports, which does support the formatting you are looking for? The scripting and reporting capabilities are why I still use SQL*PLUS, and the reporting jobs can be batched through a schedulerAbsolutely. It looks as if the scripts the OP is running were developed for SQL*PLus and have migrated to Toad. How much more convenient to have them run automatically and have them available when you arrive in the morning.

  • Sql Developper and Informix Database

  • Sql developper not showing results

    for some strange reason sql developper runs the querys indicating when there is an error, but it doesn't show the results. it is a bit annoying as its hard to see what you get then. I have found some settings i didn'tknow about. could someone please tell me how I could get my results bafck, so atleast I see them

    So before changing some settings, you did see the results?
    The same query in SQL*Plus returns results?
    What's your sqldev/java/DB/OS version?
    How about a fresh install?

  • FURIOUS! Warning: Undo Bug and Auto-Save Bug

    So I'm pretty ticked off right now. I generally liked FCPX and its changes contrary to many others' opinions, but I just came across a bug that ultimately was worse than I thought.
    During my editing process, at some point I was unable to undo changes. It was greyed out in the toolbar, and Command+Z wasn't working. It was annoying, but I didn't think much of it or bother to restart FCPX because I was in the zone and didn't want to stop. Eventually, I decided to restart FCPX to see if I could fix the bug with a lull in my edits. It closed out as normal.
    When I re-opened FCPX, I found out that my project was at an EARLIER state. From what I can guess, when the undo bug happened. So, during that period of time, NOTHING was being saved. Since you CANNOT auto-save (I know you can duplicate a project, but Im not interested in that, I just want to save a copy manually), there is no way I can recover my edits. I lost about an hour or so worth of edits. Since FCPX doesn't support "versions" yet either, there is no way I can retrieve it.
    I do  not know if this is a bug due to 10.7, nor do I really care. I sent a bug report because this needs to get fixed. I consider you do the same but AT THE VERY LEAST, be mindful of this bug. If you suddenly can't start undoing, either STOP IMMEDIATELY or duplicate your project (maybe that would work). I'd hate to have someone else go through this problem too.
    Sorry if this message is written poorly, like I said, I'm pretty ****** that this key function (Apple's ONLY way to save) failed.

    Thanks guys for the tips. Unfortunately though stuck, I don't know if the finder trick will work. Remember, I never really had the file LOST, the changes were simply not writing to the actual .fcp file. So if I copied it in Finder, I think it would just copy the .fcp file which is currently not getting saved to anyway. Maybe duplicating the project in FCPX would work, but again I think that just takes the .fcp file and duplicates it. If it's not writing to it, then its a moot point. Oh well.
    As with anything that frustrates anyone, I've cooled off haha, and doing the re-edits actually seemed to turn out easier and better then second time (you know, as theu naturally are I suppose haha). Obviously all sorts of problems happen with technology, its just a shame that its a bug that revolves around the ONLY save feature haha.
    HOWEVER. I think I have replicated the problem, and MIGHT know the source of it. Or at least one. If someone wants to try this and confirm this? I'm running OSX 10.7 and FCPX 10.0 (obviously), however I encourage someone with 10.6 to try it too.
    I noticed the "undo bug" (and thus the auto-save bug) happens when I took one of the "fader handles" (I don't know the actual name, but its the little marker-like icon found at the start and end of audio tracks, which when dragged, let you easily make a fade in or out. If you take a fader-handle, an drag it ALL the way BEYOND the length of the clip, it should get stuck. Youll notice you cant easily make a change to it again, and you can't undo it. I think this is what causes the problem, as I think this happened twice to me.
    If this is it, I hope I can find a way to flag this for Apple so it can get fixed! At the very least we can be concious of it.

  • How to run queries parallely in sqlplus or PL/SQL developper?

    Hi,
    I have written 3 pl/sql blocks as follows.
    -- 1st block ---
    set serveroutput on
    Declare
    Result Integer;
    begin
    Result := call_fn('1');
    Exception
    when others then
    dbms_output.put_line('failure');
    end;
    -- 2nd block ---
    set serveroutput on
    Declare
    Result Integer;
    begin
    Result := call_fn('2');
    Exception
    when others then
    dbms_output.put_line('failure');
    end;
    -- 3rd block ---
    set serveroutput on
    Declare
    Result Integer;
    begin
    Result := call_fn('3');
    Exception
    when others then
    dbms_output.put_line('failure');
    end;
    I would like to run all the above blocks parallely in sql plus or pl/sql developper.
    I can do this by opening 3 sql command prompts and we can execute this script.
    But, I would like to do it parallely in a single command prompt.
    Is this option available.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thank you,
    Regards,
    Gowtham Sen.

    You still need separate sessions, but this is pretty easy to script.
    Create these files:
    runall.cmd:
    start execute.cmd 1
    start execute.cmd 2
    start execute.cmd 3
    execute.cmd:
    sqlplus userid/whatever@orcl @execute.sql %1
    execute.sql: (which contains your code, notice the substitution parameter)
    set serveroutput on
    Declare
    Result Integer;
    begin
    Result := call_fn('&1');
    Exception
    when others then
    dbms_output.put_line('failure');
    end;
    Create these 3 files in a directory, then just double click on runall.cmd

  • Bug SQL Developer 3.0.04 Save Package Spec and Body to ips file bug

    Hi.
    I have problem with export package body end header. Exported ips file have some rows switched compared to original source code.
    SQL Developer version: 3.0.04. Build MAIN-04.34
    Error simulation:
    - Click on package header with right mouse button in SQL Developers Connections bar
    - In context menu choose 'Save Package Spec and Body...'
    - Save ips file... (Small bug: Offered file name is wrong (= last saved package/file, not actual name of package) :-( )
    - This file(source code) compare with original source code in Developer and u will see switched rows every +-90. row in source code.
    Can u fix this in next version of SQL Developer?

  • Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.0 Bugs, Resolution and workarounds

    The purpose of this thread is to list bugs discovered while using ORACLE SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.0
    Mainly with SQL SERVER 2005 and ORACLE 10g models.

    SQL Server Physical model doesn't save table identity column.
    here are the steps to get this bug:
    1. create a table in relational model with a column as an integer to be used as an identity.
    2. create or open a physical model for SQL-SERVER 2005
    3. open the table in the physical model
    4. edit the integer column property dialog
    5. tick the identity check box and close the property dialog
    6. save the model and close it
    7. open it again, you will find the identity check is removed! (probably not saved from the start)

  • FCPX undo / auto save bugs + RAM Hog - Possible Fix?

    Hi there FCPX users,
    I have a 8-core 2010 Mac Pro with 16GB Ram and the stock GPU running Lion 10.7.2
    I have been using FCPX since day dot, and have been overall very pleased with its super fast work flow and realtime capabilities.
    I have completed over 100 3-4min edits with average project size of 50GB, and a bunch of wedding edits with approx 150-200GB project sizes. The issues I had with 10.0.0 - 10.0.1  were mainly FCPX quitting unexpectedly.
    And now on 10.0.2 I have expereinced the well known auto save / greyed out undo bug. I have gone through all the steps via apple care which included:
    Trashing the Prefs, repair permissions, check drive space / correct format, new user account and clean install of lion / Final Cut X.
    I am still experiencing this issue. So yesterday I purchased another 16GB Ram totaling now to 32GB Ram, and I monitor the RAM usage via "Free Memory".
    I Noticed that if my RAM is running low, I "free Memory" without quitting FCPX and continue to work as normal, and so far I have not yet experienced the issue again.
    Dont know if this is a temporary fix, but it has worked for an hour long edit (approx 6-7 hrs without restaeting FCPX).
    Also, I have noticed FCPX will eat up 16-20GB RAM quite easliy.
    Not sure if this problem is related to RAM...
    My 2 cents.

    You have to really be conscious when you start a new project and how and where you manage your footage.
    No one has complained more than I have about FCPX's quirky behaviors and it can be frustrating. I have worked with FCPX since day one, even tried to get a refund but couldn't. After using it for a while now, it is very easy to get used to how fast some elements are in editing and reviewing a lot a footage. But several things you have to make sure of that will keep the rendering speed up and less crashing happening.
    First make sure that you can see how much space you have on your drives by right clicking in the main window of you screen and make the necessary clicks form the drop down menu. Make sure any drives you have been doing projects with lately are hooked up and do a secure empty trash. Its cool to see how much space you regain. 2) make sure that FCPX, Motion and Compressor (if you have those are installed on your boot drive).
    3) Create a FCPX Projects folder on an external (FW800) with at least 75% of its drive space available if you do not have secondary drive installed in your computer. (Its very important to note that any drive you use for any aspect of editing should never be more 75% full, especially your boot drive.) This is where FCPX will log all of its operating files for all of your projects.
    4) Either copy  all of the other FCPX files from your main hard drive and paste then into the new folder you created. Then delete all of those files, as well as any Motion files too! (Do the same as you did for FCPX in the previous step)
    5) If you need to move all of your music files to another drive as well. If its iTunes, you will have to tell iTunes where to look for the new files and it will populate accordingly. This will free up a tremendous amount of space. Make sure to delete them form the main drive.
    6) Remove any junk programs form the boot drive (main) or move them to another drive if possible.
    7) Now do another secure empty trash and watch your drive space return.
    8) Now open up FCPX and make sure you only create projects on your new drive by clicking on that drive in the project window. Any older projects you can simply pull them to the other drive and you will be prompted on how to duplicate that project and all its files to that drive. Delete the other ones.
    9) Only capture footage to you external drives. Save it there until you need it.
    10) Create all new projects on the secondary drive and pull any footage you are working with on that drive as well. By keeping it all off the Boot drive FCPX will run much smoother and faster, especially if you have at least 16g of Ram, which I recommend.
    So to re-cap:
    1. Keep your boot drive lean. Delete anything you can move to another drive. Do not set up events and or projects to it...never!!!
    2 Use you secondary drive for your project files and the video you are working with in your events.
    3. Store raw footage on a FW800 drive ready to move to your secondary drive.
    4. Use secure empty trash after all editing sessions when you are certain of your trash contents.
    Doing these things have greatly increased much more consistently faster render times and much fewer crashes.

  • System Preferences Screen Saver Bug

    I recently purchased a new iMac running Mountain Lion (previous computer was first gen intel Macbook Pro running Lion) and have noticed that a bug that persisted on my previous computer now exists on my new one!
    Essentially, when I browse to the Screen Saver Tab in System Preferences, it says "There was a problem connecting to the server X" which was an old networked computer (which has never been mapped ever to my new iMac) and the prompt refuses to go away until I close system preferences.
    I have restored my Pictures, Movies, Music using my previous time machine backup (no migration assistant used) and selecting the previous volume... but I don't know how that would cause the following? (See image):
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    FIXED IT!!!
    Ok - so in case anybody else suffers this problem it turned out the iPhoto Library was referencing a folder of files on a (non existant) other computer. This explains why:
    1. It always happened when I went into Wallpaper prefs (was looking for these non existent photos)
    2. It didn't appear in Disk Utility (because it was within the iPhoto Library package itself (i.e. the database)
    3. It happened on a new computer as the iPhoto library was restored from a previous computer.
    In order to find this, I troubleshooted by moving the iPhoto Library to desktop (without opening it) and wall/screensaver prefs worked fine. Then, I used terminal and the grep command (screenshot attached) to find where it was referencing "kitch_n_stage" (I.e. the windows share). Then I moved those files to the trash, but the iPhoto library back and opened iPhoto. It had to rebuild the database as I removed the photos folder and the library.adpb file.
    The command was grep -lr "name of shared computer" *
    (Would suggest backing up your iphoto library before doing this)

  • Smart object / Auto save bug

    MacPro 1.1, OSX 10.6.8, PSCS6 Beta
    Came across the following, which I think is a bug.
    I have two ducuments: D_test_00042.psb and D_test_00052.psb.
    Each were build using a few layers and a group "Retouch", and then converted to Smart Object. So both files contain a (different!) Smart Object called "Retouch".
    If I open both files, and doubleclick the first SO, then go to the other and do the same, all works more or less as expected:
    However, if I open one file, and doubleclick the SO, then close the original file (to save on system recources), thén open the second document and doubleclick the SO in it, I get a warning "The disk copy 'Retouch.psb' was altered since you last opened or saved it. Cancel / Update":
    Cancel obviously won't open the second SO, Update updates the SO that's already opened (which belongs to the other document)
    (History palette in the top center, shows "Update from file")
    Message was edited by: Rene-) for exact workflow and screenshots

    Follow up: PSCS4 (11.0.2) behaves the same, so it is probably something I never noticed before (which is surprising, since I didn't alter my workflow) and has nothing to do with Auto Save…
    I'll make it a feature request then: Fix this. Use unique names 'internally' for SO's.
    I want to be able to open a SO from an older document for instance to be able to copy paste from one SO to another.
