Using tab key in SQL developer

I am trying to write my PL/SQL code using SQL developer and I want to use the tab key for my alignment. Whenever I press the tab key the cursor is not moving forward. Do any of you know how can I make it work?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you for pointing out a "known problem" with the accelerators! I've been having a problem whereby I suddenly became unable to use the backspace or delete keys to make changes to code. Interestingly, I loaded the preset accelerators as you suggested to handle problems with the tab key and suddenly everything else works fine now.

Unable to use backspace key in SQL Developer

hi
I am unable to use backspace or arrow keys in SQL worksheet using SQL developer.
Can any one help me out...?
You can also contact me on [email protected]

Hi,
to give a worst case. I downloaded actual releases for JDeveloper and SQLDeveloper for MacOS and on my Mac this case is totally unsolved. I tried to check he settings within the preferences.xml but no "googled" solution works to get SPACE and BACKSPACE to work.
I will try the older versions.
I previously used my migrated versions from my older Linux system and everything worked fine. Installing the integrated MacOS versions is fine but using the linux way (using the shell command) seems to work. Hope this will help to find the bug within the packages.
Bye,

How to set current row in table after use tab key on inputText

Hello all,
My first post .., I'm newbie in ADF and I will try to explain my problem.
For the moment we use ADF 11g (11.1.1.4), in a jsff page I have a table with an inputText column.
On the valueChangeListener of the inputText, I invoke a method in a viewScope bean which call an EJB method, make some services in the EJB on the line modified. After that I refresh the VO and the table (because others values on the line have been modified) and reset the focus on the same inputText modified by the user with javaScript because focus was lost after refresh.
So far, everything works fine.
When I use the arrow keys to change the selected row in the table, it's work fine (focus is still in the next or previous inputText), but if user try to use tab key to change the current line, the inputText on the next line have the focus but the current row of the table is not changed (I think it's normal).
My question : how can I change the current row after tab key pressed in this case ?
I don't know if it's really clear, not easy to explain, don't hesitate to ask more details.
Thanks in advance.

Use a client event to listen for the keyboard entry and intercept the tab. The use af:serverListener to call the server to set the rowKey on the table and issue a PPR for the table to re-paint
See sample 11 on http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/index-101235.html#CodeCornerSamples
to learn about how to use the client listener and server listener
FrankHi,
Thanks a lot for your advices, I used the client and server listener
I used this code on the method call in order to change the selection after key tab pressed, I don't know if it can be easier, but it works.
 if (LOGGER.isDebugEnabled()) {
 LOGGER.debug("START changeSelectedRow");
 RowKeySet oldRowKeySet = myTable.getSelectedRowKeys(); // get oldRowKeySet
 if (oldRowKeySet == null) {
 if (LOGGER.isDebugEnabled()) {
 LOGGER.debug("oldRowKeySet is null");
 return;
 RowKeySetImpl newRowKeySet = new RowKeySetImpl(); // The new RowKeySet use to change the selectedRow
 DCIteratorBinding bindingIterator = ADFUtils.findIterator(MY_ITERATOR);
 bindingIterator.setRangeSize(-1);
 // set the new index of the current row.
 int index = bindingIterator.getCurrentRowIndexInRange();
 if (index < bindingIterator.getAllRowsInRange().length - 1) {
 index++;
 bindingIterator.setCurrentRowIndexInRange(index);
 // get the current row after changed the index
 Row currentRow = bindingIterator.getCurrentRow();
 if (currentRow != null) {
 ArrayList nextLst = new ArrayList(1);
 nextLst.add(currentRow.getKey());
 newRowKeySet.add(nextLst);
 // set the new selectedRow
 myTable.setSelectedRowKeys(newRowKeySet);
 SelectionEvent selectionEvent = new SelectionEvent(oldRowKeySet, newRowKeySet, myTable);
 selectionEvent.queue();
 AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(myTable);

Problems using Quick Migrate in SQL Developer 1.5 for MySQL to Oracle 10g

Hi all,
I am trying to use SQL Developer 1.5 migration tools (Quick Migrate) to perform online capture and build source model to migrate from MySQL 5.x to Oracle 10g on Windows platform. I get these errors and the Quick Migrate process fails:
oracle.dbtools.metadata.persistence.PersistableObject.doInsert(PersistableObject.java:238)
I did a search and used the sqldeveloper.cmd script but still fails. Then I created a new database and truncated the repository. I now get the above error plus two new ones listed below:
oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:112)
Error loading nls:OALL8 is in an inconsistent state
Error occurred during capture: Protocol violation
It fails during the capture process for MySQL 5.1 database
when it begins to capture the tables from MySQL.
Does anyone know how to resolve these issues when migrating from MySQL to Oracle 10g using Quick Migrate with SQL Developer 1.5 release?

Ben Prusinski

Hi all,
I put the following in my sqldeveloper.cmd file:
SET ORACLE_HOME=%CD%
What is very confusing is that with SQL Developer 1.5, there are several levels and several SQL Developer executables! I am really not sure which of these to use:
I created the SQLDeveloper 1.5 directory called SQLDeveloper1_5 on Windows:
1) cd C:\sqldeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338
there exists a sqldeveloper.exe
2) cd c:\sqldeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper.exe
3) cd c:\sqldeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloer\bin\sqldeveloper.exe
Which SQLDeveloper 1.5 executable should I be using and where should I place the
sqldeveloper.cmd file?
Also I did try to use a different database and schema for the repository with Quick Migrate but it appears a bug exists in SQL Developer 1.5 version that causes errors with Quick Migrate for MySQL to Oracle? Is this correct?
As an update, I ran the following commands:
cd to
c:\sqldeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin
sqldeveloper.cmd sqldeveloper.exe
Start sqldeveloper.exe
Perform standard capture for MySQL using the new mig2 schema as the new repository
It starts the capture but fails on the errors below:
Error loading nls:OALL8 is in an inconsistent state
UPDATE
============================
I tried this again and it worked with the exception of one error message listed below:
Here are the steps that I followed:
1. Create a Windows cmd script
Put the following entries in the script:
SET ORACLE_HOME=%CD%
save the command windows script as sqldeveloper.cmd
Copy this script to the base installation directory for SQLDeveloper
Example:
1. cd c:\SQLDeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338\sqldeveloper
2. Start SQLDeveloper with the command script that you created earlier
Example:
Open a Windows shell prompt window and execute the following scripts:
a) sqldeveloper.cmd sqldeveloper.exe
b) sqldeveloper.exe
3) In SQL Developer 1.5
From the Migrate menu,
a) Delete current repository and create a new schema in Oracle target database call it mig2.
b) Then create a new repository in SQL Developer 1.5
c) Right mouse click on the MySQL 5.x database and choose capture
It worked with the exception of one error message:
o.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Error while registering Oracle JDBC Diagnosability MBean.
So it looks like something is screwed up with my JDBC drivers and configuration for MySQL. How do I diagnose the JDBC driver issue for MySQL?
Thanks!!!

Error using Data Miner on SQL Developer

Dear all.
I'm trying to use Data Miner on SQL Developer (3.1.06) with Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 -
64bit Production, with the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options.
I created a project, a workflow, a data source, a classification model and connected them.
I tried to show the Decision Tree generated as described in the tutorial "Using Oracle Data Miner 11g Release 2".
But, I receive the message "It's not possible to load the data mining model because it does not exist" in a dialog box entitled "Model not found".
It seems that something was missing either during installation or granting my user.
Does anybody have seen this message and know what causes it?
Any other suggestion is welcome.
Regards,
Duncan

Hi Mark.
Thank you on replying my post.
I'm not the DBA of Oracle repository here. So, if possible, I'd like to address my issue without having to do anything in it.
I'll try to state better what we have here.
When I try to use latest SQL Developer version, 11.2.1.1.7.42, it got me a message stating current repository isn't compatible with this SQLDev version
Repository version is: 11.2.1.1.3
I don't know what type of upgrade SQL Developer wants to do...
About your other questions.
"Is the model not found error occurring for all models or just the DT model?" -- The error occurs for all 4 standard models: SVM, GLM, NB and DT. But, I'm able to see all other options: "show tests results", "Compare tests results".
You did not report that the workflow failed, so you must be seeing a successful completion status for each of the nodes. -- Yes, all steps are executed and finished OK.
Are you using a proxy user or some other connection definition other than a standard connection. -- No.
There is currently some problems supporting proxy based connections that will be fixed in a upcoming SQL Developer release.
So, if you can provide me some details on how your connection is defined, that will be helpful.
How was the product installed and the user granted rights? -- I need to ask PUCRS DBA team to answer these questions.
Was it done through the UI or by running the scripts in the dataminer/scripts directory?
Lastly, what is your client operating system and are you using the SQL Dev 64 bit or 32 bit release? -- I tested in 2 different computers, both with Windows 7 Professional. In my notebook, it's 64 bits OS version.
Thank you for your attention and kind reply.

Data fetch from table without Refresh and without using tab key.

hi Friends,
I have a problem i want to extract data from table without Refresh into text field without using Tab key. when i'll enter any value in a text field then corressponding value should come in to corressponding textfield without using Tab Key.
eg. when i enter emp_id 101 in a text field then the first_name and last_name ,adress should come in to corressponding text fields without refresh and without using Tab key.
How Can I do this.
Thanks
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
I assume that this is similar to: Data fetch without Refresh rather than Re: Value of one textfield should come into another textfield Without Using TAB ?
If so, the only change you need to make on the first one is to use "onkeyup" instead of "onchange" in the item's "HTML Form Element Attributes" setting.
Note, however, that the user must move away from the item at some point (for example, to click a button), so the onchange will be triggered anyway.

How to use tab key with JTextArea to shift focus

Hi
My problem is simple as whenevr i use tab key in my JTextArea, instaed of shifting focus to next component, it adds a tab space to my text.
How do i shift focus out of my JTextArea.
Ashish

you can also redefine the textarea's TAB Key behaviour. The tutorial has a good example for that - better than i would be able to describe :-)
look at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/keybinding.html

DATAGRID FOCUS ISSUE: Focus got lost, while moving from one cell to another cell using tab key.

Problem: Focus got lost, while moving from one cell to another cell using tab key.
Example: In an AdvanceDataGrid, there are three columns having custom ItemRenderer with Spark TextInput control (editable=true & focusEnabled=true).
When I try to move the focus in with in 2nd, 3rd & 4th column using tab key, focus got lost. Most of the time it’s working, but some time it doesn’t work. There’s no clue as to how may rows/columns the focus has jumped to; or whether the focus has gone out of the data grid altogether.
Observations: I am not sure whether this problem is because of custom component implementation or it is because of some issue related to Flex Component.
It only occurs when we perform some actions like some server call, some complex logic execution etc. at the focus out event of itemrenderer.
There is one property of datagrid i.e. editedItemPosition which contains row & column index of datagrid. On the focus out event, it gets null when focus got lost. We tried to set it, but it didn’t work.
Steps Performed:-
1. Currently focus is in 2nd column i.e. Apply to #.
2. Once I press tab key from 2nd column, it goes to 3rd column which is correct.
3. Now if I press tab key from 2nd column i.e. Payment #, focus should go to 3rd column, but it goes out of data grid and set the focus of button which is outside data grid.

Access table cells using tab key with iterators

Hi,
I use a tableview with iterator and allow users to mouseclick certain column cells. I capture these user interactions using server event "onCellClick". But I cannot access these cells using tab key instead of mouse click. But tab key is a must for visibly challenged users. Is there any way to access table cells using tab keys (with iterators)?
I use icons in those cells to replace check box and change the icons to differentiate checked/unchecked status.

Hi Craig,
Thanks for your effort.
But I was able to solve my problem. I don't think I gave all the information to simulate my problem in your environment. I used images in certain table cells and was not able to access those cells using tab key or access key. Tag <img> doesn't have the attributes tabindex and access key.
I solved the problem by surrounding the <img> by anchor tag <A>, which has both attributes. I did these changes within the iterator method RENDER_CELL_START using CL_BSP_BEE_TABLE.
In the event handling, I had to do separate processing for mouse click event and key press event for those cells.
For visibly challenged users:
They can access those cells by tab key or access key and the key press event is used to capture when they hit enter key.
So this problem is irrelevant to service packages (SP38,..).

How to use TAB key rolling on the rank of a JTabbedPane ?

I hope I can use TAB key to switch the different option item , how to do this ?
Liwei

You need to use a key listener. Something like:
        static class myKeyListener implements KeyListener
                //KeyListener reuired methods
                public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
                        int a = e.getKeyCode();
                        //Check if they pressed tab
                        if (a == e.VK_TAB)
                               //Do whatever
                public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e)
                public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e)
        }Then, put "myTabbedPane.add(myInstanceOfMyKeyListener" up where you're creating the pane, replacing "myTabbedPane" and "myInstanceOfMyKeyListener" with whatever variables you're using.

Keyboard Control FAIL: Using TAB key on websites directs cursor to nowhere!!! Why?

(using 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 MAC MINI, OS X Lion 10.7.5)
I have always felt safer using the keyboard rather than mouse-clicking on search fields etc. (Open Firefox, hit command+L to the URL I want to go to, then hop to next field with TAB key).
Most notably frustrating example is with using Google, this has not worked right for some time. Say that you to start to search for something on google "main page" and then it goes to the search results page... You go to edit your search or type your next search and the cursor is flashing inside (but off center) of the search field and inputting text is not an option. Also you may instictively hit ESC (while in search field) when you are being given suggestions you don't want, and then the cursor moves again to this no-man's land in between fields.
The other KEYBOARD control issue that I have found is this:
Sometimes you cannot Close Window or even Quit Firefox with the usual keyboard shortcut. Usually when a few windows or tabs are open, or when there is some pop-up survey etc. on page. You can usually ALT+TAB to another open program and then back, and then you can close window or application. But that seems really sketchy to me! This happens all the time on major websites. You can go File-> Close Window or File->Quit, but when you use the same keyboard command the file menu just flashes with an "error tone."

The TAB key thing was the same in safe mode. Actually I should add/correct, regarding that google search example: when the cursor is in "inbetween fields" positions, actually it lets you type at the END of the text that you had typed in the field (even though the cursor is blinking before the text). and if you "Command A" to replace the text in the search field while cursor in this position, it instead selects all the rest of the text OUTSIDE the field. Just doesn't make any sense. I think this happens with fields on Facebook as well.
That first issue is just very annoying because it comes up every day and I never get used to it. I would be actually be curious to hear from someone whom this DOES NOT happen to.
The 2nd issue I mentioned occurs more randomly, and seems more definately a Firefox issue. (When you can only close a window or quit from the drop down menu with the mouse, Command W and Command Q just give an error beep)

How to determine the positioning order when using tab key?

Hallo,
in my jspx-page i want to define the order which the cursor jumps when the user is using the tab key.
i don't know how to? in html there i can use tabindex. which way i must go?
Any help is appreciated.

I found that tabindex is not applicable. But i think it is an important point for better handling.
Is there no easy way to do it?

Using XML functions in SQL Developer

Hi,
I'm using OSD 1.5.3 on a WinXP machine. I love OSD and use it every day! But I think i found a little bug. When you use some Oracle XML functions like (XMLELEMENTS and XMLAGG) in your query (these functions return CLOB values) it hangs OSD.
For Example:
SELECT XMLELEMENT("Relation",
XMLELEMENT("Name", 'Dennis'),
XMLELEMENT("DateOfBirth", '09/28/1975')
) as Relation
FROM DUAL;
Are there some parameters I can set to prevent this, or is this a bug?
Kind Regards,
D.

Your query works fine for me from SQL Dev 1.5.3 (JDK 1.6.0_06), using either a JDBC or TNS connection (Oracle Client 9.2) to a 10.2.0.3 DB. Another thing which I have no idea if it is relevant (someone else may be able to say) is the following line from Help > About > Properties:
oracle.xdkjava.compatibility.version 9.0.4
Given that it works fine over TNS connections from SQL*Plus and PL/SQL Developer, I would assume that it is something related to your SQL Developer setup, unless you are using a different version of the Oracle client for these tools.

Import data using Excel and Oracle SQL Developer - I need some help

Dear friends,
I'm using Oracle SQL Developer 1.5.1 and I need to import an Excel file into a database table. If I try to import this file in XLS format, fields and headers are correctly being shown and separated, but if I press "Next" button, it simply doesn't do anything - it stays stopped.
I did some search here in this forum and it seems to me that, when you try to import a file via XLS format, SQL Developer has bugs. Is this correct?
If I save the same file in CSV format and try to import the same file, it goes ahead, but SQL Developer is not separating fields and headers correctly. It combines all CSV fields into one - let's say Column0 and fields 1;TEST;01/01/2000 below the same Column0.
Saving the file in CSV format is not a problem, taking a very little time. But I don't know how to make SQL Developer import it correctly. Could somebody please help me? Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Franklin

Hello K,
yes, you're right. I found the following topic after posting this question here.
Re: After update to 1.5.1, import from Excel fails
I downloaded version 1.5.0 and I'll use it whenever I import data from Excel.
Thanks,
Franklin
