Will SQL Developer support data type anydata

Will SQL Developer support datatype sys.anydata in future releases?
Currently SQL Developer will not show any data for columns of type anydata.
Example:
create table t1 (id number, col1 sys.anydata);
insert into t1 values(1,sys.anydata.convertvarchar2('TEST'));
IF I export data from this table something like
Insert into T1 (ID,COL1) values (1,'SYS.ANYDATA'); will be generated.
The grid will display 'sys.anydata' for this column
Versions:
WINXP SP3
SQL Developer Version 2.1.1.64
Build MAIN-64.39

Does SQL Developer support OS Authentication? Will it?

Does SQL Developer support OS Authentication connections? If not will it in the future?

Given this has the SQL Developer been changed to remove the requirement of adding a password for an OS authenticated account? These users also have the ability to access the DB via applications and the fact that they don't have to enter a password right now is ideal. I really don't want to have to add a password for them. Will this be changed within SQL Developer?

Will SQL Developer always be free? Evidently Data Modeling extension won't.

After learning the Data Modeling extension to SQL Developer was actually a for-pay product (only the Early Adopter release is free, evidently), I now wonder:
Will SQL Developer always be free, or is there a chance it will be converted into a for-pay product? I don't want to invest any more time learning the tool if there will be future license fees to pay.
I was sad to learn Data Modeling won't be free. Not knowing how much it might cost, I don't want to invest any time at all playing with it.
Thanks.
Dana

Thanks K. Hope to learn more about the Data Modeling extension pricing--not that I'll be able to afford it. Too bad--I see Oracle going in a great direction with SQL Developer being free. It's a shame Data Modeling won't be. Right now, I am stuck using Enterprise Architect--and that's very limited for database design. Evidently it can be modified to do a lot more, but I don't have the skills or time to turn it into something it should do out of the box.
What other free data modeling tools are out there? I liked Druid III, but that doesn't seem to be under active development. There's an Open Source tool called Power Architect, but it was rather buggy the last time I evaluted it:
http://www.sqlpower.ca/page/architect
Maybe it has improved since then (about a year ago).

Same icons for objects in SQL Developer as Data Modeler

Hello,
would it be possible to display the same icons for objects in SQL Developer as Data Modeler?
For example:
- in SQLD a session temporary table has the icon of a table with an X symbol, in Data Modeler it is just a table icon.
- in SQLD a materialized view has the icon of a table with 2 arrows, in data Modeler it is just a table icon.
Joop

Hi Joop,
I think you will find that in Data Modeler's Physical Model tree the same icons are used for temporary Tables and Materialized Views as in SQL Developer.

Links for SQL Developer and Data Modeler not working?

Hi folks,
I tried to access the new SQL Developer and Data Modeler links posted in the April 1 message (and on the Oracle site) from a couple of machines with no luck (empty zip files) - is there an update to the links?
Thanks!
Tomo

In Firefox zero length zip. In IE loses connection to downloads.oracle.com.

Need a PL/SQL debugger support NCHAR type

Hello,
I'm looking for a PL/SQL debugger which supports NCHAR type of Oracle9i. I need it to watch variables of unicode data type (AL16UTF16).
Or, if you could share with me how you debug your stored procedures which involve unicode data types.
Thanks.
Yanli

Thanks for the reply, Barry.
I use PL/SQL Developer for sql debugging. Unfortunately, it won't display a variable of NCHAR type, the watch window simply shows blank. I also find a freeware called Tora which supports unicode input/output, however, to debug stored procedure one needs to compile the procedure using its compiler first, and it just hangs all the time.
If you know some debugger which work good with NCHAR type, please let me know.

Using CVS in SQL Developer for Data Modeler changes.

Hi,
I am fairly new to SQL Developer Data Modeler and associated version control mechanisms.
I am prototyping the storage of database designs and version control for the same, using the Data Modeler within SQL Developer. I have SQL Developer version 3.1.07.42 and I have also installed the CVS extension.
I can connect to our CVS server through sspi protocol and external CVS executable and am able to check out modules.
Below is the scenario where I am facing some issue:
I open the design from the checked out module and make changes and save it. In the File navigator, I look for the files that have been modified or added newly.
This behaves rather inconsistently in the sense that even after clicking on refresh button, sometimes it does not get refreshed. Next I try to look for the changes in Pending Changes(CVS) window. According to the other posts, I am supposed to look at the View - Data Modeler - Pending Changes window for data modeler changes but that shows up empty always( I am not sure if it is only tied to Subversion). But I do see the modified files/ files to be added to CVS under Versioning - CVS - Pending Changes window. The issue is that when I click on the refresh button in the window, all the files just vanish and all the counts show 0. Strangely if I go to Tools - Preferences - Versioning - CVS and just click OK, the pending changes window gets populated again( the counts are inconsistent at times).
I believe this issue is fixed and should work correctly in 3.1.07.42 but it does not seem to be case.
Also, I m not sure if I can use this CVS functionality available in SQL Dev for data modeler or should I be using an external client such as Wincvs for check in/ check out.
Please help.
Thanks

Hi Joop,
I think you will find that in Data Modeler's Physical Model tree the same icons are used for temporary Tables and Materialized Views as in SQL Developer.

Integration of SQL Developer and Data Modelling - concerns.

In aanother thread about OSDM connections, I commented that the development team for OSDM and the core product seem to separate and Sue responded.
Sue Harper wrote:
A clarification of the Data Modeling feedback application and this forum. The developers are part of the SQL Developer development team, but as for all our features, each developer has a focus area, so the Data Modeling developers will tend to answer those questions. The reason I said that they seem to be separate as that ODSM seems to be put together completely differently. I hit another example today. I downloaded a fresh copy of osdm without JDK. On starting it up, it complained it couldn't find a jre and quit. There was no prompt to specify the location as there is with SQLDevloper and there are no configuration files to edit.
SQLDeveloper already has issues with different components doing the same differently. The number of problems has been reduced but it has taken some time and I am concerned that the introduction of a large body of new code will cause things to revert to the bad old days in terms of quality.
I may or may not end up using OSDM, but I want to have the choice. I don't want components I don't use becoming part of the application and adding bloat. The migration components are a case in point. The "migration workbench" ought to be a completely separate add-in rather than a core component and I hope this is down with OSDM.

Jim,
"I don't want components I don't use becoming part of the application and adding bloat." Absolutely. and we agree. SQL Developer Data Modeling will be a separate standalone product so that users who don't want to use SQL Developer, but who do want to model will have that option. The nice thing about an integrated solution is that if you are doing database work and then want to do some modeling, you are in one tool. Our current plans are to release the standalone product in the initial production release and then follow that with the extension to SQL Developer depending on the customer demand. We do plan to release a read only viewer as part of SQL Developer 2.0. This will be an extension, which like the Migration extension, you can switch off. and from your note, you'd prefer the reverse, that these new extensions are pieces you choose to include and not choose to exclude.
I'm not certain we'll get agreement on this, but I'll be interested. Just this morning I was updating a thread were the request was for all the pieces to be there working out of the box.

SQL developer online data move

Hi,
I am using SQL developer 2.1 to migrate tables from Sybase 12 database to oracle 11g.
I have used online data move option for moving sybase data into oracle tables, but even after data move is completed not all rows have been moved from sybase tables to corresponding oracle tables. Some rows are missing but still there is no error messege being displyed, how to find out what's going wrong.
Is there any log file that is being generated in case of oracle sql developer?
Please help me with this.

Hi Mandark,
This is a weakness of SQL Developers online datamove.
It doesn't have logging and you cannot tweak the data move itself.
It very basic SELECT * FROM -> INSERT INTO ... under the covers.
If some rows are failing to be inserted,but some rows are being inserted, in the same table.
Then my guess is that the data in some rows doesn't "fit" into the target row/column.
And the datatype mapping used to convert the tables/columns was not good enough.
Ex: Sybase column of VARCHAR(10000) mapped to Oracle VARCHAR2(4000).
Some data which is greater than 4000 chars.
Which causes the insert to fail for those rows with >4000 chars. But ok for other rows.
The solution (in this example) is to map Sybase VARCHAR(100000) to Oracle CLOB.
You can specify the data type mapping in the Convert page of the migration wizard.
Another workaround is to use Copy To Oracle.
http://dermotoneill.blogspot.com/2010/11/copy-to-oracle.html
This is a very simple data move feature again. But it works slightly differently than Online Data Move.
It has no logging or tweaking either, but may do the job "online" for you.
You should temporarily turn off any check constraints, triggers, keys on each table you want to move data with using this method.
If all those fail, then the only sure fire way would be to use Offline Data Move.

Dermot

Sql server 2000 data type

In sql server 2000, what data type do I use for a field that
needs to show two decimal places? It is a weight field, so the
weight in ounces could be something like 12.25 and it needs to
store it this way in the database. I'm kind of new to sql server,
so any help would be greatly appreciated!

You asked "In sql server 2000, what data type do I use for a
field that needs to show two decimal places?" and I answered
"decimal and numeric". How much clearer could I be?
Numeric data types with fixed precision and scale.
decimal[(p[, s])] and numeric[(p[, s])]
Fixed precision and scale numbers. When maximum precision is
used, valid values are from - 10^38 +1 through 10^38 - 1. The
SQL-92 synonyms for decimal are dec and dec(p, s).
p (precision)
Specifies the maximum total number of decimal digits that can
be stored, both to the left and to the right of the decimal point.
The precision must be a value from 1 through the maximum precision.
The maximum precision is 38.
s (scale)
Specifies the maximum number of decimal digits that can be
stored to the right of the decimal point. Scale must be a value
from 0 through p. The default scale is 0; therefore, 0 <= s
<= p. Maximum storage sizes vary, based on the precision.
I recommend that you load SQL Server Books Online on your
computer, as it is available free from Microsoft as a download and
it has everything you will probably need to know about SQL Server.
Or you could just use the online version at

OVS supported data types

Hi,
does anybody know which data types are supported by OVS'? I just noticed that an element of typ Code that I will fill via an OVS on the UI won't work. I'll get an exception. When I change the data type to Text, everything works fine.
Regards,
Daniel

Let me get a bit more precise. I interessted in how the different data types work together. Is there a rule, which data types of an element in the source BO correlate with wich data types in the respective OVS and then with wich data type of an element in the target BO.
Do all three have to be of the same type or is there some automatic transformation done by the system between certain types?

Oracle Forms New Features - Your input. Supporting data types

I am interested to know IF we were to support any new database types in Oracle Forms 11g, which types would you like supported and why. I'd also like to know if you are currently working around the absence of a database type.
Please note, this is not any kind of commitment to support new data types in Oracle Forms applications but we are interested to know if there is demand and if so, for what types.
Thanks
Grant Ronald
Oracle Forms Product Management
p.s lets keep the thread focused on the topic so please don't post technical questions or comments about different new features - if you want to, start a new thread - thanks

Hi Grant,
support for the "new" - well they exists since 9iR1 ... 2001 - data types TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE, INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND would be very helpful.
Currently it's not possible to use the Data Block Wizard to create a data block for table/view that contains one of these columns.
(In Forms Builder 10.1.2.3 it fails with a strange error message ... iewbdbc_oracle_to_id ... C:\forms\101220\src\ie\iewbdb.c:724 ...)
So, one has to create the data block and the items manually. The items have to be CHARS.
Then forms is able to fetch and display these columns. The user can edit them as normal.
A WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger can be used to make sure that the implicit conversion from CHAR to the "new" datatype works.
For example, an INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH column (b):
declare
l_invalid_interval exception;
pragma exception_init(l_invalid_interval, -1867);
l_invalid_month exception;
pragma exception_init(l_invalid_month, -1843);
l_dummy interval year(9) to month;
begin
l_dummy := to_yminterval(:block2.b);
exception
when l_invalid_interval
then
    message('invalid interval');
    raise form_trigger_failure;
when l_invalid_month
then
    message('invalid month');
    raise form_trigger_failure;
when others
then
    message(error_text);
    raise form_trigger_failure;
end;This nasty trick works for most of the "new" datatypes except with TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.
In Forms 10.1.2.3 the following WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger can (incorrectly!) fail:
declare
l_dummy timestamp with time zone;
begin
l_dummy := to_timestamp_tz(:block2.a);
end;It fails with "ORA-01804: failure to initialize timezone information", if the time zone is not like "-11:00", but like "EUROPE/PARIS". Don't know why...
If we recode our trigger to make a round-trip to the database, it works:
declare
l_dummy timestamp with time zone;
begin
select to_timestamp_tz(:block2.a)
into   l_dummy
from dual;
end;We could avoid these tricks, if Forms (and Reports) would support these type natively.
Thanks, Michael
PS: The TIMESTAMP and INTERVAL data types should of course be supported as items, parameters, globals and record groups columns.

SQL Developer with Data Modeler, No Design Menu Option

Using SQL Developer 3.0.04 Build MAIN-04.34 with Data Modeler. I have created a logical design and wish to forward engineer this to a relational model.
I cannot seem to find the Design Menu option to use the >> Engineer to Relational Model option which is available under the Design Menu on the Stand Alone version of SQL Developer Data Modeler.
Have checked the following locations:
Tools -> Data Modeler
View -> Data Modeler
File -> Data Modeler
Right Click on my Logical Design
I have ensure that all my entities have the Engineer To property set to a valid Relational Model.
Is this a bug or am I missing a menu option / configuration setting?
Thanks in advance for any help
John

Hi John,
you can find ">> Engineer to Relational Mode" button among other buttons for logical diagram.

Importing an SQL Server TEXT data type field in Oracle - problem with LONG

Hello,
I work in Oracle 9i and I created a view on a distant SQL Server database that contains a TEXT data type field. But I have a problem when I select that field in Oracle; I have the following error message: "ORA-00997: forbidden use of LONG data type".
Could anybody have a solution for me, to solve that problem?
Thanks a lot!

It is very difficult to suggest anything without seeing your code. I don't even know if what you are seeing is the actual value or an error code. Often, negative numbers are indicative of error codes.
For instance -1 could mean that you have an invalid reference or path, etc...
Can you post your code?

MS SQL Server 2005 data types

Hi,
I have some code that executes a stored procedure in SQL Server 2005 database from Weblogic 8.1. There is a Spring framework layer in between. I am having problems passing a datetime parameter to the SP (ther server thinks it's a varchar). According to the BEA documentation here http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs100/jdbc_drivers/mssqlserver.html#wp1088746, a datetime parameter should be passed as java.sql.Types.TIMESTAMP. I've tried TIMESTAMP, DATE, TIME, and none of them work. But, that documentation says it's only for SQL Server 2000. What about 2005? Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance.

We use SQL2005 & WebLogic 8.1, but we use the Microsoft JDBC driver form here
and it all works fine with timestamps. We use this datatype to pass them down java.sql.Timestamp
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C47053EB-3B64-4794-950D-81E1EC91C1BA&displaylang=en
The MS driver has some enhancements specifically for SQL2005 for performance and handling the new data types. We've always been told to use the vendors driver in preference to the BEA supplied one - that came from BEA!
