Voting on SQL Developer Feature Requests

I've been reviewing the features requests and of the different statuses, should one still vote on those marked as Accepted? I'm assuming yes to give them more weight to get them looked at sooner? Are those marked Rejected NEVER looked at again? What's the difference between those marked Open and those marked Awaiting Community Votes? Aren't those 2 statuses the same thing?
Thanks for your help.

Evita,
Yes, you can still vote on Accepted. (You can even vote for "Scheduled for release...", because sometimes we need to move features from one release to the next)
Accepted means that it sounds feasible to do and we can do it, but "when" has not been established. Please add votes to help that decision.
Rejected Just that, we have no plans to do this. I don't revisit rejected on the Exchange.
(However, some features that have been rejected have been discussed on the forum and we've reconsidered. We have also changed "rejected" to "accepted" on previous occasions, but only based on discussions here. Some features rejected have very poor explanations as to the problem users are trying to solve)
Open We haven't read them or made any decision on them.
Awaiting Community Votes means just that. Someone has proposed a feature and no-one else seems to be interested.With the long list of features, we do need to prioritize and some features requested are obscure, so we want more feedback from the community. More votes and feedback from the community helps. We sometimes get 10 points from some folk and zero from others for the same feature.
Please note that except for the Open features, the others we have touched and added feedback.
Problems I have with the feature requests is lack of clarity in the request and more than one request described in a single request. The extra features get lost and others can't vote on them.

  • SQL Developer Feature Request :: Tool Security for DBAs

    TOAD has a feature that our DBAs like. It is called TOAD Security. In effect the tool looks at a table (on a per instance, per schema basis) to determine what menu options and features should be enabled/disabled. DBA's are provided with a GUI interface to manage the permissions, however once the table changes are noted, then the activity can be scripted for other schema/instances.
    If it is not already in the plans, then it would be an excellent feature to add to SQL Developer. With something like this in place, we could defintely consider moving to SQL Developer as our tool of choice.

    thats understandable. The expense of TOAD is small peanuts compared to the larger sums of monies being spent in IT, however, IMHO there is no sense spending it if a proper match can be found. I am just watching and waiting as the Oracle product continues to mature. Having the ability for tool to be controlled via an external security model, would be a plus.
    To give an idea, DBA's basically took away abilities that were too easy to accidentally do but had bad results..
    * Drop an object.... they prefer us to physically write the statement... no oops click the button accidentally. This applies to a test environment as well as production.
    * Kill a Session..... again, test (not in production) we can kill a process thread, but they didn't want it to be so easy as a click of a button.
    ... I could go on... but you get the idea. At first they went overboard, and essentially turned our TOAD tool into an expensive Notepad clone. After working with them, the permissions were readjusted and we have been fine since then. The feature makes a good companion to the database level security for things that the Database Security setup does not cover.

  • Feature Request Marked as Being in SQL Developer 3.0 Isn't

    The Unit Test feature request titled "Unit Test Implementation Specific Startup/Teardown" has a Status that is "In Release 3.0", but what was added in version 3.0 was the ability to have multiple startups and teardowns per Test, not what this feature request was actually requesting, which was the ability to give each implementation of the Test its own specific Startup and Teardown (which would be in addition to the Test's Startup and Teardown).
    Oracle: Please update this feature request's status accordingly, or if you need clarification of the feature request, please let me know.

    Hi Bill,
    Thanks for your feedback. Sorry it was not recognized when you originally posted. I have logged an internal bug for this:
    Bug 13578934 - FORUM: TRACE VIEWER ERRORS ON POST-11.1.0.6 DBS DUE TO NEW PLAN HASH VALUE ATTR
    The bug is not a regression, but simply reflects a lack of necessary maintenance in the the trace viewer.

  • Any Plan for JDeveloper to have feature requests like SQL Developer

    Recently SQL Developer has come up with "Feature requests" link where users can request for feature requests or see the existing ones.
    http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42626:37:3434730358746967::NO:::
    This sort of feature will be very useful in one place instead of using JDev Forum for feature requests.

    Hi,
    yes, we like the idea and we are looking into this.

  • SQL Developer Problems and Feature Requests

    I’m in the process of comparing TOAD to SQL Developer and noticed the following bugs/features in SQL Developer:
    1. An error message is correctly displayed when a database password has expired, but there isn’t a way to go back into the database and change the password for that account. Can this critical feature be added?
    2. There is no option to connect as sysdba or sysoper.
    3. In the “New / Select Database Connection” window, I get the following error when double clicking on an existing connection defined using a TNS Network Alias: Status: Failure – no ocijdbc10 in java.library.path. Any ideas? Connection was initially defined using the Network Alias button. I can connect under the “Connections” window, but not in the “New / Select Database Connection” window. Any ideas?
    4. When displaying data in a table, the filter is not user friendly. You need to enter column names and the correct SQL syntax. It also does not allow you to cut and paste in column names. It would be very helpful/useful if it was more user friendly (GUI based) such as how Sorting is done and/or how it is done in TOAD.
    5. When viewing referential constraints on a child table, it shows you information on the parent, but not if the parent is a child to something else. If you were a parent, it would be nice to see all child and their children’s children. TOAD does a nice job showing parent and child tables via a tree structure.
    6. Comparing metadata between schemas would also be a very nice feature.
    I’m not sure if this is the place to post this but thought I would start here. Any feedback would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    1: You can always right click and have it open an sql*plus window and that will prompt for the new password. But I do agree that support for this should be built in.
    2: This is a developer tool.. Use OEM for the dba stuff. I think that the worst thing that could happen to SQL Dev is to try to become everything for everyone like TOAD tries to.
    3: Search the forum. Other users ran into this and I believe there is a workaround.
    4: I like the current filtering on tables. So much simpler than most tools. I do agree that maybe there should be an advanced button with a filter builder and agree that column names should be copyable but would cringe if the free-form field disappeared. How many other tools can you write an inline query into the table viewer? Great feature IMHO

  • Re: SQL Developer Problems and Feature Requests

    "no ocijdbc10 in java.library.path"... What should i do with it?
    I get it on the simplest of operations: changing (in fact setting) the connection password for the existing connection (defined by TNS/Connect Identifier). Oh, yes, there're workarounds, particularly export-edit-import, but don't you find it a bit weird?
    BTW, i do not find a Save button there either, won't it be just appropriate? (Not allways a connection one's setting up for is already available on the spot).
    Environment : OS: RHEL4, SQL Developer version: 1.0.0.15.57 (at least that's what About says), java - just stright form Sun, 1.5.0_09_b01; this was one i told SQL Developer to use. The default java in the system is Red Hat 3.4.6-3, though, i haven't changed that - should i?
    TIA,
    Uldis

    I have had this issue with the Connection window with the TNS Connection Identifier method, but it appears to be related in some way to the other Oracle installations you have. For me (I am on Win XP), the error went away after installing the Oracle 10g client with Discoverer 10g Administrator. It then came back when I needed to rebuild my computer and installed my Oracle clients (I have three for various different products) in a different order, but was fixed that time by reordering my Oracle Homes via the Universal Installer and making my 10g Client first (Oracle Universal Installer -> Installed Products -> Environment)
    Alternatives are to switch back to the TNS Network Alias method to record the password (unfortunately, even when entering the connection as a Network Alias it is saved as a Connection Identifier) or to just use the Basic tab instead of the TNS tab.

  • SQL Developer Exchange: Feature Requests

    I'm requesting a new feature for the Feature Requestor :-)
    Would it be possible to show a creation date and last rated date on the Feature Requests report to help in tracking what's been changed?
    (And note that the HTML Title on the Rating Page says "Rating Deatil" instead of "Detail".)

    Thanks for the feedback, I'll note those requests. I thought I'd got all the typos!

  • How 2 find the "Requests from the SQL Developer Exchange Included" in 2.1.1

    Hi,
    I would like to explore the new features from 2.1.1
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/files/BugsFixed_v211.html
    But can not find them in:
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42626:46
    Where are they explained...?
    Thanks, Juergen

    Thanks K,
    good hint with the filtering of the status...!
    I was just wondering if you can find the ID's. When you scroll to the end on: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/files/BugsFixed_v211.html
    there you find the section "Requests from the SQL Developer Exchange Included" with a lot of IDs...
    8411043 : Commit confirmation
    8755723 : Copy column name to clipboard (ctrl - shift- C)
    8487257 : Do not use ora_rowscn (Request implemented using a preference)
    but the filtering is good for me too...

  • Custom Toolbar Buttons - built from my SQL - feature request

    I would like to request a feature to be added to SQL Developer. I'm on EA, v 4.0.0.12. I would like to be able to create edit and add custom toolbar buttons.
    I do have some of my SQL saved as Snippets. As long as I want to keep the Snippets pane open, I can create and edit snipped categories, add snippets to custom categories, and drag'n'drop a snippet from the snippet pane onto a SQL Worksheet (fills in with the SQL). This all works, although giving up  "canvas workspace" for the snippets pane is a bit of an expense.
    It would be cool to be able to create, edit and place and remove custom buttons on the Toolbar with SQL I like to (re)use often.

    I found the Exchange and filed a request there.
    For anyone wanting the URL for the Exchange feature requests, I used this:
    https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=43135:6:104519160383376::NO
    I do wish the Exchange were compatible with Firefox. I had to go to IE to add the request.

  • SSLSocket to support NIO - feature request voting

    Hello All,
    I know there were many discussions here regarding this subject.
    I've seen the SSLEngine solution for the problem... But I didn't like it since it is too complicated.
    For my understanding SSLSocket inherits Socket so an application that can handle Sockets should be able to handle SSLSocket without writing a specific code besides the factory.
    NIO allows Socket to be none blocking... So why SSLSocket which is a Socket does not?
    If I write a Web server in Java, why should I deal with none SSL and SSL connections in a different way?
    I recently wrote one threaded NIO server and was amazed that I could not use SSL with the same implementation.
    I've opened a feature request for Java, but they told me to gain support for this subject here before they will consider it...
    As I understand I can re-implement SSLSocket to use SSLEngine and support NIO with blocking and none blocking support... But I think Sun should do it.
    One caveat is to make sure that the SSLSocket HandshakeCompletedListener should be called by a daemon thread, so that it will not block other sockets while certificate verification occur.
    Of course when I refer to SSLSocket I also refer to SSLServerSocket.
    Can you please comment regarding this issue... Every comment will be welcomed!
    Best Regards,
    Alon Bar-Lev

    nah, I am very glad they released an engine separate from transport allowing encryption on any transport.
    I am also working on an abstraction of nio that you may be interested in if you don't want to do the security yourself......it is here...
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/channelmanager
    Right now, it only contains the api, but there are 3 implementations behind it right now with 3 to be added.
    1. Basic implementation that does just nio
    2. Secure implementation that implements same api and uses implementation 1
    3. Packettizer implementation which puts things in payloads with headers and footers
    4. (to be added) Threadpool implementation allowing a threadpool to be inserted in the stack somewhere
    5. (to be added) TestProxy implementation allowing exxceptions to be thrown on purpopse to test a system on a bad network....can test failure on bind, connect, read, write, etc....everything.
    6. denial of service layer.
    7. Exception catch layer to protect #1 and #4 mainly from bad clients that throw exceptions back to the channelmanager.
    Each one of these layers (2 - 4) implements the same api and uses the same api so 2 -4 are all proxies. You can reorganize the proxies as you want.
    The secure one is almost done. Any comments on the api will be welcome.
    thanks,
    dean
