SQL Tab & Export DDL Crapped Out in Version 1.1.3

Question

SO now the SQL tab for a table and the Export DDL option under the Tools menu are not working. The Export DDL option does nothing short of error our when trying to select individual options. (Getting a table or view does not exist error) The SQL tab for tables now no longer shows the associated constraints and in some cases no indexes either. The previous version didn't seem to have these problems. I really think the things that were working need to be verified to not be broken before releasing a new version. As an end user it's pretty frustrating to lose functionality when you think you are gaining new features.

tnolte,
I'm going to stick to this thread to respond to your queries.
I see from (Re: [1.1.3.27.66] create ddl statement that you are running into the ora-942 errors. No-one in that thread mentions that they have switched to the latest release of SQL Developer, i.e. 1.2. Though both you and MRM posted after we released 1.2., so I assume you are. If not, that's a good place to start.
Please can you confirm, that you are on 1.2 and that you are still running into this error? As mentioned we did have logged and now fixed, the ora-942 errors you mention, so I'd like to track down your specifics. It looks like a permissions issue.
In terms of the new Export DDL:
1. We had a request for a 1 button click to export everything for a single schema. To do this, after you have specified the files name and schema, all you need to do is click Apply and all objects, with all the data will be exported.
So this is: Set file name, select schema, Apply.
2. To export a specific category, I start by unchecking "Export Object Types", this unchecks all and I can then check only those I require, say tables and sequences. Now if I select Apply, ALL Tables and ALL sequences for that schema are exported.
So this is: Set file name, select schema, uncheck Export Object Types, Check specific object type categories, Apply.
3. Now, if you want to only export certain, say Tables or Sequences then use the filter tabs. The first is Filter Objects.
If my Connection is for HR and I want to export HR objects, then there is no privilege issue:
After you have taken the steps in #2 above, go to the Filter Objects tab, make sure that the user is HR at the top of the left hand panel and then click GO. (You can use the Object Type drop list on the right to filter for object types.)
Shuttle the objects you want to the right and repeat for the next object type.
If, your connection is HR, but you want to export[i] OE objects, and you have read/select access, then only those objects you have access to will display.
If your access is HR, but you want to export object you have no access to, no objects are displayed.
Is the ora-942 displayed for all your connections? Can you try another connection? Of all my connections, one displays the 942 and I will have a developer look into that. There does not appear to be a permissions issue.
One last thing. If you just want to export the DDL of a selection of tables, expand the Tables node, ctrl select the tables you want the DDL for and use the context menu. There is a new Export option that allows you to export the tables to file, clipboard or the worksheet.
Hope this helps.
I will be doing a blog entry on this, this evening.
