Which oracle_home SQL Developer 3 uses

Hi, all,
I have multiple oracle homes in my desktop.
How do you know which oracle SQL Developer uses? I'm trying to figure out which tnsname.ora file SQL Developer refers to.
SQL Developer version: 3.0.04
Thanks!
alex

You can find/change the path in Preferences - Database - Advanced - Tnsnames Directory.
Have fun,
K.

  • Which PL/SQL developer tool is best to develop the PL/SQL program?

    Hi, all, who know which PL/SQL developer tool is best to develop the PL/SQL program? it is jdeveloper or designer or third party developer tool? please let me know, Thanks!

    To be honest , I have been using only Notepad or
    a simple Textpad ..to this date.
    While these tools may be of help in indenting and beautification of code, I feel you lose your debugging skills and forget the SQL-PL/SQL syntax with them.

  • Can SQL Developer be used for Oracle Support "HTML Output" Diag Scripts ?

    Hi All,
    Oracle Support has asked me to run a diagnostic script (OTL_Diag.sql for anyone familar with the script) that produces output in HTML format using SQL*Plus to help troubleshoot an OTL problem we are having. Unfortunately I don't have SQL*Plus installed and my company is not on board with me installing it because of the SQL*NET connection required. Instead I have access to SQL Developer 3.1.0.7. While this works fine for most situations I'm having problems generating the required .html output file that Support needs.
    I've tried runing the OTL_Diag.sql a couple of ways using SQL Developer. First, I opened the file from SQL Developer and using the Run Script functionality (F5) I executed the code that way. This method did give me an opportunity to input the necessary parms and it did create the 'start' of the HTML file on my (Windows) file system, but the script seemed to abort with a java error that indicated some sort of format error (sorry, I'm not a java person so I can't provide any more info, but I'll be glad to get the exact error message if anyone thinks that will help solve my issue).
    My second approach was to open a SQL Window where I typed in @C:\OTL_Diag.sql without quotes. This approach also gave me the opportunity to enter the necessary input parms and it seemed to end normally. It also created the 'start' of the diaganostic output file on my Windows file system, but it 'completed' before any of the 'real' diaganostic output was written to the .html file.
    The Metalink note clearly specifies that the OTL_Diag.sql script is to be run with SQL*Plus 10.2 or above so I don't think I can complain too loudly to Oracle about this...but given that I don't have access to this product (and it is useless for me to again ask to install it) I am hoping someone out there has some ideas or insight as to how I can use SQL Developer to execute this diag script in a manner that will produce the required .html output file.
    Thanks in advance to anyone taking time to read my post !!

    >
    As a result, at this point in time my only available tool to run the OTL_Diag.sql script (provided by Oracle Support) is SQL Developer
    >
    Then you will have to edit the script, break it into pieces, execute each piece manually and save the output to feed into the next piece as required based on what the script is actually doing. Don't post the script or contents as that will likely violate your support agreement.
    As I already mentioned the script may be using syntax and/or commands that are simply not supported by sql*developer. One likely area is the script may be producing intermediate output scripts that are then processed by a later portion of the script. If that is the case then my suggestion to execute the pieces manually should work but you will need to do some trial-and-error to see.
    Even if you appear to be successful you will still have an issue when you communicate the results of your 'test' to Oracle support and they determine you didn't follow their instructions to use the proper tool.
    Sounds like your management is either ignorant or incompetent so I suggest you cover yourself by documentating the instructions from Oracle support and the direct orders you were given to disregard those instructions. No need to discuss that issue further but clearly there are resources available somewhere in the org that has the proper privileges or they wouldn't be able to maintain and support the database. If they want to pay for support they should heed their advice. Nuff said.

  • Installed Oracle Warehouse Builder which broke SQL Developer

    Version 1.5.4 build MAIN-5940
    SQL Developer worked fine. I installed Oracle Warehouse Builder and now SQL Developer cannot make a connection when I click on a connetion in the connectons window. When I look at the properties of the connection they look fine and when I click the "test" button I get a success message. When I click the "connect" button it appears to connect. However, When I click a connection on the navigator window I get this error message
    Invalid connection information specified.
    Verify the URL format for the speicified driver.
    Vendor Code 0
    I reinstalled SQL Developer but no help.

    Don't know OWB, but I asume it installs some version of client, which could be picked up by sqldev.
    If the problem really is that client, here's something that usually does it: trick sqldev by changing your ORACLE_HOME within a batch file inside sqldev's folder. This would force using the supplied thin driver:
    set ORACLE_HOME=%CD%
    start sqldeveloper.exeHope that helps,

  • Sql developer issue using all_source

    Hello,
    New policies in my company have revoked access from developers to system tables which has caused a problem using sqldeveloper. Basically when I attempt to open a stored procedure, sqldeveloper uses sys.all_source to put together the code and now it cannot. A possible solution would be to change sqldeveloper to use user_source or create a view in my development schema called all_source and point sqldeveloper to that.
    Problem is i don't know how to do this - or if it is even possible.
    Can anybody help ?

    First off I'd say that's a pretty stupid restriction, as the ALL_ views just list what you have access to. You don't get any extra DB safety restricting those views.
    If your DBA doesn't reconsider, you could change all internal sqldev queries or create views, but I recon just creating synonyms will be faster and cleaner:
    CREATE SYNONYM ALL_SOURCE FOR SYS.USER_SOURCE;Hope that helps,

  • ORA-01017 from SQL Developer while using SYS account

    Hi,
    We are seeing "ora-1017:invalid username/password" when trying to connect using sys user as SYSDBA Role in SQL Developer. The same account works fine in SQL*plus. The remote_login_password param is set to EXCLUSIVE and the file orapw$SID is also there.
    Any inputs to resolve this error is appreciated.
    Thanks

    As sqlplus seems to be working for you and sqldeveloper has its own forum, please post this in the sqldeveloper forum.

  • No tables listed when using a proxy connection in SQL Developer

    Hello, I'm trying to use a connection in SQL developer that uses the proxy connection to connect to another users tables. In the SQL worksheet area I can access the other users tables with no problems. And using SELECT COUNT(*) FROM USER_TABLES i get the count of the number to tables. But on the tables view on the left hand side of SQL developer no tables are listed. So the question is why do I not see any tables under the tables view? Is this a bug or is it working by design?

  • Additional licenses reuired for using Sql Tuning Advisor In SQL Developer 4.0.3

    Hi,
    We have Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0. Do we need to purchase an additional oracle license for using SQL Tuning Advisor Option in SQL Developer 4.0.3 

    We have Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0. Do we need to purchase an additional oracle license for using SQL Tuning Advisor Option in SQL Developer 4.0.3 
    The Oracle Tuning Pack is DATABASE functionality - it is part of the database. Sql Developer just uses it.
    Yes - to use ANY of the features of the tuning pack requires an extra cost license.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/license.111/b28287/options.htm#CIHFIHFG
    Oracle Tuning Pack
    The Oracle Tuning Pack provides database administrators with expert performance management for the Oracle environment, including SQL tuning and storage optimizations. The Oracle Diagnostic Pack is a prerequisite product to the Oracle Tuning Pack. Therefore, to use the Tuning Pack, you must also have a Diagnostic Pack.
    The Tuning Pack includes the following features:
      SQL Access Advisor
      SQL Tuning Advisor
      Automatic SQL Tuning
      SQL Tuning Sets
      SQL Monitoring
      Reorganize objects
    In order to use the features listed above, you must purchase licenses for the Tuning Pack, with one exception: SQL Tuning Sets can be used if you have licensed either the Tuning Pack or Oracle Real Application Testing. A new initialization parameter, CONTROL_MANAGEMENT_PACK_ACCESS, is introduced to control access to the Diagnostic Pack and Tuning Pack in the database server. This parameter can be set to one of three values:
      DIAGNOSTIC+TUNING: Diagnostic Pack and Tuning Pack functionally is enabled in the database server.
      DIAGNOSTIC: Only Diagnostic Pack functionality is enabled in the server.
      NONE: Diagnostic Pack and Tuning pack functionally is disabled in the database server.
    The Tuning Pack functionality can be accessed by the Enterprise Manager links as well as through the database server command-line APIs. The use of either interface requires licensing of the Tuning Pack

  • I can't make updates from SQL Developer

    I've been using SQL Navigator from Quest software to make some updates to data. I just run a select query with the updateable button selected and i can type in my updates and hit commit to make changes.
    I can't figure out how to do this in SQL Developer. It won't let me make any changes. Is there an updateable button somewhere? I really like SQL developer and use it for a lot of things, but it's annoying to have to go and open SQL Navigator when I want to manually update a row.

    Apart from using plain SQL in the SQL Worksheet and the table's Data tab (which, as said, are currently the only possibilities), you can also vote on the request (http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42626:39:1949458845889031::NO::P39_ID:4902) to add weight for getting this implemented sooner...

    Hello Jiri!
    this is because of SQL Developer does not support "order by" over external tables.
    In general it is not disabled in SQL developer to use it for external tables but due to unknown reason execution of select including "order by" clause over external table generates ORA-00600 error.
    SQL Developer is saving all used "order by", "filter" settings (and many others) to special cache (user specific XML file) and this setting is used next time you open specific object - table.
    It means when you apply "sorting" on external table
    - oracle generates ORA-00600
    - used "order by" is stored by SQL Developer into cahce XML file
    - ...and you cannot open this table from your SQL developer anymore
    How to correct it:
    - go to SQL developer cache folder (something like C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\SQL Developer)
    - try to find file "*GridSettings.xml" which contains this bad cache information
    there are usually tons of GridSettings.xml files
    -1134293461GridSettings.xml
    -1134293492GridSettings.xml
    -1134293523GridSettings.xml
    you have to find file which contains your specific extenal table name like...
    <uniqueName>SELECT * FROM "SCHEMANAME"."EXTERNAL_TABLE"</uniqueName>
    - find "sortClauses" tag
    <sortClauses>
    <Item class="java.lang.String">3 asc</Item>
    <Item/>
    </sortClauses>
    - you can now edit/correct content of this file/tag or just delete it completely
    - or you can easily delete complete cache folder - BUT in this case all specific user setting can be deleted!!!
    - then your table is accessible again :-)

  • SQL Developer running slow, possibly caused by Java Virtual Machine

    Dear all
    I am currently working with SQL Developer 1.5.1, connecting to an Oracle database 10.2.0.2 and it is taking about 10 minutes for SQL Developer to load. I believe the problem may be due to the Java Development kit. I upgraded to the latest version last week.
    The versions running according to Java settings is:

    /sqldeveloper/ide/lib/ide-boot.jar, by sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@9627532]I also use a photo Web Site, which is unrelated to my Oracle work but for it's photo uploader also uses Java, and that is running slow, which is why I think the problem is Java based. I would say the problem occurred within the last couple of months but has got much worse in recently weeks. SQL Developer is also slow at times, mainly when I've used another application and it is just in the background.
    Kind regards

    Hi there
    Thank you for taking the time to reply. I use GeoRaptor and for what I use it for, I have not come across any errors whilst using it.
    I had no reference to the JDK in my SQL Developer configuration file. I did a search on my system and could not located a copy of JDK, or one in my programs installed control panel, so I installed it again. However I then found a copy in the sqldeveloper folder. However that wasn't referenced in my control panel.
    However having added a reference to the JDK in my SQL Developer configuration file, pointing to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16, it seems to be taken even longer to load.
    SQL Developer is using 98,608k once loaded and my system has 1.25GB of memory. Whilst loading I was using 1.38GB. For about a year I've had slightly less memory than I sometimes use. The reason for not having 2GB is due to a previous memory failure. However this did not cause a problem for SQL developer until more recently.
    Would it be worth reinstalling GeoRapter?
    Kind regards
    Tim

  • SubVersion in SQL Developer - how to link to packages and procedures

    My question is this - I am starting out using SubVersion in Oracle and it seems pretty straightforward to use as a source control for files that are stored in a Windows directory, that is the only way I have used it so far.
    Am I able to use it to control packages and procedures that I have saved as part of my database, ie the procedures are part of a package and the package appears within the Packages section of the appropriate connection in SQL Developer.
    I hope this makes sense.
    Cheers,
    JabJam

    Hi JabJam,
    So far, everyone is correct. SQL Developer just uses a file-based source control system (e.g., SVN), which means updating database object definitions via scripts under version control, or somehow exporting the new definition to a script so it can be version controlled after the fact. And wouldn't it be nice if the database objects could be version controlled directly. With the database developer having control over when any changes are committed for shared use in the database. Similar to using the SVN plug-in for an IDE like Eclipse for a given programming language in a shared development environment.
    But what would your DBA have to say about that? Don't most DBAs require scripts for deploying code or structural changes?
    In Oracle, definitions (DDL) are committed automatically. Anyone granted access sees them. Since you probably don't do development directly against a production database, eventually scripts (either manual or generated) will be needed for deployment to QA or production. Few mechanisms currently exist to work against an active database without other authorized users also seeing these changes.
    For DDL, the closest thing would be the fairly recent edition-based redefinition feature in 11g (R2, I think). For DML, the OWM (Oracle Workspace Management) feature would be loosely analogous.
    This is not a simple issue. Version control via an extension for Subversion provides essential basic support. Going beyond that might mean watching the evolution of edition-based redefinition, but DBAs would probably require scripts for that too.

  • SQL Developer 3.0.02 & External table

    Hello all,
    I encountered an interesting error while working with SQL Developer. I created external table mapped on data file in csv format. Everything works fine up to moment I double clicked the table header of the first column to make data sorting. Since I am not able to see table data even if the SQL Developer has been restarted.
    In the 'Data Editor - Log' window I can see the text as follows:
    ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [rworupo.1], [17], [10], [], [], [], [], []
    When I open SQL view of that table I can see:
    -- Unable to render TABLE DDL for object FSM.COMPANY with DBMS_METADATA attempting internal generator.
    CREATE TABLE COMPANY
    CUSTOMER_PROVIDER_REFID VARCHAR2(50 BYTE)
    , NAME VARCHAR2(50 BYTE)
    , REG_NUMBER VARCHAR2(50 BYTE)
    , VAT VARCHAR2(50 BYTE)
    , ADDRESS_STREET VARCHAR2(100 BYTE)
    , ADDRESS_BUILDING_NO VARCHAR2(20 BYTE)
    , ADDRESS_CITY VARCHAR2(50 BYTE)
    , ADDRESS_POSTCODE VARCHAR2(50 BYTE)

    LOCATION

    REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED
    In the log file for that table there is nothing, what could explain the error.
    Does anybody know how to fix it.
    Thanks for any idea.
    Jiri

    Hello Jiri!
    this is because of SQL Developer does not support "order by" over external tables.
    In general it is not disabled in SQL developer to use it for external tables but due to unknown reason execution of select including "order by" clause over external table generates ORA-00600 error.
    SQL Developer is saving all used "order by", "filter" settings (and many others) to special cache (user specific XML file) and this setting is used next time you open specific object - table.
    It means when you apply "sorting" on external table
    - oracle generates ORA-00600
    - used "order by" is stored by SQL Developer into cahce XML file
    - ...and you cannot open this table from your SQL developer anymore
    How to correct it:
    - go to SQL developer cache folder (something like C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\SQL Developer)
    - try to find file "*GridSettings.xml" which contains this bad cache information
    there are usually tons of GridSettings.xml files
    -1134293461GridSettings.xml
    -1134293492GridSettings.xml
    -1134293523GridSettings.xml
    you have to find file which contains your specific extenal table name like...
    <uniqueName>SELECT * FROM "SCHEMANAME"."EXTERNAL_TABLE"</uniqueName>
    - find "sortClauses" tag
    <sortClauses>
    <Item class="java.lang.String">3 asc</Item>
    <Item/>
    </sortClauses>
    - you can now edit/correct content of this file/tag or just delete it completely
    - or you can easily delete complete cache folder - BUT in this case all specific user setting can be deleted!!!
    - then your table is accessible again :-)
