W'azup with SQL Developer barfing on SQL*Plus "set" commands

Check out this short script and the results it generates, as pasted below.
I can't find anything in the SQL Dev documenation re: what SQL*Plus set commands it supports and which it considers "passe." I'm particularly puzzled by the "column ... format ..." command getting ignored.
set heading off
set pagesize 0
set linesize 80
set feedback off
prompt ...start...
column x format a5
select 'abcdefghij' x from dual;
prompt ...end...
line 1: SQLPLUS Command Skipped: set heading off
line 2: SQLPLUS Command Skipped: set pagesize 0
line 3: SQLPLUS Command Skipped: set linesize 80
...start...
X ----------
abcdefghij 1 rows selected
...end...

For supported SQL*Plus commands: SQL Developer Help > SQL Developer Concepts and Usage > Using the SQL Worksheet > SQL*Plus Statements Supported and Not Supported in SQL Worksheet.
The "column ... format ...." command is not supported. A workaround is to use substr in your select statement.

Oracle SQL Developer vs Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench

Gurus,
Can anybody let me know what's the difference between Oracle SQL Developer vs Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench tools.
I am in the process of Migrating MS-Access Application to APEX. So the example says me to use Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench. Is this part of Oracle SQL Developer? If yes, I know SQL Developer is free.
If not is Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench if free?
Thanks and Regards

Thank Oracle ;)
(well, it's the least they can do after you paid big $$$ for the database)

K.

SQL Developer vs. SQL*Plus Performance???

Hi,
DB: Oracle 10.2.0.3.0
SQL Developer: 1.2.0
SQL*Plus: 10.2.0.3.0
I am running the same query once in SQL Developer (Response time 10 sec.)
The same query in SQL*Plus takes over 20 Minutes.
SQL*Plus is using SQL*Net right?
Is that the reason?
Thanks

Hi,
how can I check for SQL Developer?
Does SQL Developer use SQL*Net also?
I changed the arraysize to 1000
but does not see any performance gain.
The query still taking more than 6 minutes.
The same in SQL Developer runs within 10 seconds!
Thanks

Setting Up SQL Developer for MS SQL SERVER 2000
1) Install/Extract SQL Developer 1.2.1 in C:\Program Files\Oracle
     Making the {$sqldevhome} = C:\Program Files\Oracle\sqldeveloper
2) Obtain the JDBC SQL SERVER Pluggin (jtds-1.2.2-dist.zip) from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=33291&package_id=25350
3) Unzip jtds-1.2.2-dist.zip
     Creates:      jtds-1.2.2.jar
               \x86\SSO\ntlmauth.dll
4) Copy the jtds-1.2.2.jar into:
{$sqldevhome}\jlib Directory.
5) Copy the the ntlmauth.dll dll in the \x86\SSO subdir into:
{$sqldevhome}\jdk\jre\bin\ntlmauth.dll
6) In SQL Developer:
     Got Menu "Tools"
               - Preferences...
               Expand the "[+] Database
               Choose "Third Party JDBC Drivers"
               Click "Add Entry"
               Then Browse for your copy of "{$sqldevhome}\jlib\jtds-1.2.2.jar"
               Note: Use the jar filename, not its parent directory for entry.
7) Restart SQL Developer and try your SQL Server 2000 Connection

Connect from SQL Developer to several SQL Server instances

Our SQL Server has more than one instance, but I see only one instance of them trying to connect from SQL Developer 1.2 to SQL Server. How I should define the connection information? Usually we connect to SQL Server by <hostname>/<instancename> and then the database name as CatalogName (Initial Catalog). In the Oracle world you can give only the hostname, a port number and the database name. How I can convince the SQL Developer to choose one of our SQL Server instances?

Hi user627927,
Bug/Enhancement request already logged.
We have not got this configuration in house, two people have suggested workarounds but we are unable to test them for now. The last person was unable to get these workarounds working, and we have not confirmed them in house.
Can you get the instances connected through two different ports?
It would be great if you could confirm either workaround.

*1/Suggestion 1 change the url through SQLDevelopers xml connection store.
[Note it is probably simpler to connect a dummy connection through the connection dialog as usual save it (you cannot connect) and then add the instance information rather than having to enter all the information in an unmanaged way.]
Hi Naveen,
I had same problem as you and user579801. I managed to resolve it by doing the following.
1. Locate the file called IDEConnections.xml in the folder where you have installed SQL Developer (eg. c:\sql developer\sqldeveloper\system\oracle.jdeveloper.db.connection.11.1.1.0.11.42.62).
2. Create the following entries under <connections> tag.
<connection>
<URL>jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://\\.\;namedPipe=true;instance=SQLDBNam;</URL>
<ConnectionName>SQLServer</ConnectionName>
<user>SQLUser</user>
<ConnectionType>JDBC</ConnectionType>
<DeployPassword>false</DeployPassword>
<JdbcDriver>net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver</JdbcDriver>
<RaptorConnectionType>Microsoft SQL Server</RaptorConnectionType>
</connection>
3. Save the file; Close and re-open the SQL Developer and try connecting.
Hope this will solve your problem. Good luck.
Regards
Raja
*2/Overload the port field to have instance in the eventual url
This took some figuring out but I cracked it in the end....
SQLServer tab:
Hostname: <servername>
Port: <portnumber>/<databasename>;instance=<instancename>
so for me the Port field looks like this: 1433/Gaffa;instance=SQL01
That should now connect to a named instance SQL Server.

Preference equivalents for relevant SQL*Plus set commands?

I know that the SQL*Plus set command is not supported in Raptor (as per http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/project_raptor/sql_worksheet_commands.html), but there are a number of set options that are relevant.
For example, set define (for which "set define off" is covered in Ampersand in scripts We have a number of existing SQL scripts where we have set the define character to something apart from & to avoid issues where this is a required value in the code.
Setting server output size is another option - as per set serveroutput on size unlimited .
Is there any proactive plan to provide preferences equivalent to the set options that are relevant (to either SQL scripts or the various output tabs)? Or is the exclusion of the SQL*Plus set command only for the current version and it will be included later? From the discussion on the forums so far, it seems as though you are looking at each set option as it is raised, rather than being proactive about it.
Even if Raptor does provide preferences, it would still be useful for the equivalent set commands to work. Lets say that we do get a preference for the define character - 99% of the time, scripts want this to be & - however there are some where the script wants it to be $ (or whatever). With a preference, I need to know what the script wants and change the preference before running the script and then change it back afterwards.

Hi Turloch,
When is this script executed ?
In 3.1EA2 I created a sql script where a variable is defined and set this script as you suggested.
Script:
define varname=abc
When I open a connection, a worksheet is automatically opened. I run this statements:
select '&varname' from dual;
define varname=xyz
select '&varname' from dual;
Running the first select statement results in a popup window for entering a value for the substitution variable, while I was expecting the value abc as the result of the query.
See also this blog where the login script is explained.
But in my SQL Developer 3.1EA2 64-bit on Windows 7 it doesn't work like that.
Is this a bug?

Issue with SQL Developer connect to SQL server

I'm using "SQL Developer 2.1.1.64.45" to work on a migration project which needs to convert a SQL server database to a Oracle 11g database. But I got an issue when I setup the SQL server connection. The SQL Developer let me connect by selecting a SQL server database name (For example: Northwind), but once connected, it always connected to "master" database instead. The "SQL Developer" is running on Windows 7 Professional (x64) platform. My Oracle database is 11g, and SQL server database is SQL 2005. And my SQL server instance name is "SQL2005". Anyone have ever experienced this problem? Thanks in advance.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the feedback, lets stick with SQL Developer 3.
Correct me if I'm wrong,
You attempted to migrate from SQL Server to Oracle including target generation and datamove in one go, by filling in each step of the migration wizard to the end.
During the datamove you got
ORA-01000:maximum open cursor exceeded
So it looks like SQL Developer during the migration is not closing cursors fast enough and hits the maximum number of open cursors in your Oracle database.
I think the default max open cursors is 300 in Oracle.
There are a few things we can do here.
You should be able to see the new migration project in your Migration Projects navigator.
By navigating down the project tree to "Converted Database Objects" we can attempt the data move again by right clicking and choosing "Data Move".
But first I would restart SQL Developer so as to free up any lingering open cursors.
That may allow you to complete the data move, as the only cursors being open are being used in the data move and not some cursors which may have been left open from previous steps in the migration.
Now from my perspective I would like to identify where are we leaving open the cursors, so I'm going to setup some testcases my end to see if I can replicate.
From your perspective Id presume you just want to move on with the migration.
So if the above (shutdown and attempt just the data move) doesnt workyou could
A) Increase the MAX OPEN CURSORs on your Oracle databases so it complete the data move
or
B) Use the offline data move technique.
A) Increase MAX OPEN CURSORs
This wiki explains how to do that, looks like 1000 is fairly common, but even a much larger number is not a problem
http://wiki.oracle.com/page/OPEN_CURSORS
ALTER SYSTEM SET OPEN_CURSORS = 10000;
OR
B) Offline Data Move
If you are moving large amounts of data (say > 1GB), then the standard data move (we call it online), which just uses JDBC to SELECT * FROM and INSERT INTO may not cut the mustard.
In this case you can try using our offline technique. SQL Developer will generate a set of scripts for you.
unload_script.bat will use SQL Servers BCP tool to dump out the table data into DAT files.
oracle_ctl.bat will load the data in the DAT files into Oracle.
As we know the names of all the tables, columns ,both SQL Server and Oracle, we can generate fairly good scripts.
The benefit of this technique is large amounts of data can be migrated and you get to use tools designed to dump data and load in data, so you have better error logging and tweaking.
To attempt this in the Migration Wizard , Data Move page, select offline.
If you can describe your database a bit (number of tables, number of procedures, amount of data to migrate) I may be able to define my testcase better so I can replicate the issue.
Thanks

Code runs correctly when compiled by SQL developer but not SQL Plus

I have a rather large package body I need to deploy and compile ... It's big and complex (I inherited the project). Our it dept is huge and scripts are deployed by the dba team and they seem to only use sql plus. My code deploys and runs fine when compiled in sql developer. Once I compile it from SQL plus it stops working. It runs and using debug statements I can see the values are correct but it no longer inserts the data into the proper tables. I get ZERO errors or warnings when this is compiled in SQL Plus and no errors are generated from the code at run time. I've diffed the extracts of the code from the DB after each deployment and the only difference is the blank lines which SQL Plus strips out when you load the file. Has anyone run into anything remotely similar and if so how did you solve it? I've tried modifying the code to no avail, adding in comments to preserve the white space makes no difference. The thing that really kills me is that there is no error at all.

Ok this is the problem area.... vReplyMessage is a clob. I've replaced it in this section of processing with a varchar2(32000). And now it works. I still would like to know why though. Nothing is changed when I load it though sqlplus or sql developer but this line " update swn_recip_response_t set SWN_RECIP_RESPONSE = vTextReply where notification_id = v_notification_id; " would never execute with the clob. Logging showed that the clob had the correct value though. I am puzzled.

Sql Developer wont convert Sql Server to Oracle lob w Oracle 11gr2 client

I have the Sql Developer 2.1.1.64 loaded on a Windows machine accessing Oracle 11g release 2 database on a linux box with no jre. I have the latest version of java (1.6.0.21) and jdk (6 u 21). When I loaded Oracle 11g r2 client onto my windows box, all sql server tables could be moved to my Oracle repository except tables that converted from a Sql Server 2005 type of nvarchar(max) to nclob. I would just get every row in the error column during the move.
Turns out when I uninstalled the Oracle 11g r2 client and installed the Oracle 11g r1 client, it worked.

I'm afraid you're in the wrong forum. This is the Berkeley DB Java Edition forum.

Sql Developer 2.1 - "sql server" can't see tables

I'm running sql developer 2.1 on Linux Mint -- connected to MSFT sql server with JTDS driver.
I can query just fine. However, there are no tables in the object browser. No objects at all beyond the main categories (tables, stored procedures).
Lee

"I see...said the blind man to the deaf man".
I found all my tables.....they were under "dbo" not the user I logged in as.
My connection is: database MyDataBase username myuser
The object tree looked like:
MyDataBase
- dbo
- myuser
+ tables
+ stored procedures
- someother
- andanotherone
I went to "myuser" which I considered to be the schema owner, but all the objects are actually owned by dbo -- and they are there under dbo.
To further test -- I created table "table_test" -- and it appeared under dbo, not "myuser". Now that I understand the behavior, I'm back to LOVING Sql Developer. Thanks for helping and keep up the good work.
I much prefer to work on oracle databases -- but at least I can keep using this excellent oracle tool even when forced to work on Microsoft Sql Server :)

Fallo en SQL Developer , bugs in SQL Developer

He detectado que si hacemos clic con el botón derecho sobre una tabla y seleccionamos EXPORT ==> SQL INSERT. la exportación no se lleva a cabo.
¿Alguien ha detectado este problema?

Mucho mas tarde, doy confirmacion del problema en mi sistema Linux SuSE 10.0 con Oracle 10g release 2 y la ultima version de SQL Developer (Build 14.67). No tengo ningun dato en el fichero ni en el "clipboard". Pero si no selecciono todas las columnas, el fichero o el clipboard se rellenan normalement. Eso explica que algunos dicen que funciona y otros que no funciona.
Como solucion pratica, creo una vista (view) con una columno mas ( *, 1 as nada) y no la selecciono. Solo me queda cambiar el nombre de la tabula en el texto SQL que produce la exportacion.
A few weeks later, I certify there is a bug (en my Linux SuSE 10.0 system con Oracle 10 g release 2 and Build 14.67 of SQL Developer). I obtain an empty file or nothing in the clipboard. If I don't select all fields, the file or clipboard are full of data. This explains why some assert there is no problem and other say there is one. As a practical solution, I created a view with an extra field ( *, 1 as dummy) and didn't select it. I only have to rename the table in the exported SQL text.

Does SQL Developer has login.sql script where I can put all the env SQLs?

Hello community,
Please help me out with a simple question.
Each time I start SQL Developer (3.1) and connect to a database I need to run:
alter session set nls_date_format='YYYY.MM.DD HH24:MI:SS';
to set data fields format to reflect hours, minutes and seconds.
Can I automate it? I use login.sql in SQL Plus tro setup environment including data formant .
How to do it in SQL Dev?
Thank you in advance,
Yury

Hi Yury,
You have a choice:
1. Specify the login script via Tools|Preferences|Database|Filename for the connection startup script.
2. Specify the value of nls_date_format directly via Tools|Preferences|NLS|Date Format (and perhaps additionally the Timestamp formats).
Recall that not all SQL*Plus commands are supported by Worksheet, but alter session does in fact work just fine.

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
