No, you do not need a TNS alias (as the connection string can be build manually by the application and the driver).
So SQL*Developer needs to have an OCI (Oracle Call Interface) client driver. This can be "installed" using Oracle Instant Client.
Instant Client does not really install - to use it takes 3 basic steps:
- download it (zip file)
- unzip it to a directory (e.g. C:\InstantClient on Windows)
- add to your Windows User's environment an ORACLE_HOME variable that points to this directory
These steps should suffice in making the driver in in Instant Client available to Oracle applications. (works for me running an Oracle OCI client like <i>Mumbai</i> or Oracle's <i>SQL Data Modeler</i>).
If you want a tnsnames.ora file, then create the file and create a new environment variable called TNS_ADMIN that refers to directory location of the file. It can use the same location as your Instant Client directory.
PS. I assume you have an existing Oracle server to connect to.

Run sql statements in PL/Sql Developer without installing Oracle database?

Hi all,
I wish to ask is there any possibility to run Run sql statements in PL/Sql Developer without installing Oracle database?
Regards.

Hello Jimmy,
this is the forum for the tool SQL Developer and, as the title says, *(Not for general SQL/PLSQL questions)*.
PL/Sql Developer is not an Oracle tool, but from allound allroundautomations.
And you need access to a database to run SQL statements. This does not need to be one installed by yourself.

Edit in Place without installing Oracle Drive

Hello
We wish to use the functionality of 'Edit In Place' through our own custom jsp pages however we do not wish to deploy Oracle Drive to users as we want to force them to use the business logic inherent in our custom jsp pages.
Is there a way of using 'Edit In Place' without deploying Oracle Drive?
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil,
You could build your own "edit-in-place" functionality with some custom programming, given that you are writing custom JSP pages.
The Content DB Development Kit has a topic titled "Custom Web Applications" with an explanation on how to configure custom servlets.
You could write a custom servlet that uses the Content DB API to update Documents and interact with your custom JSP/HTML page, which could provide an "edit-in-place" GUI.
You could use a product such as Editize (http://www.editize.com) to provide the editing functionality.
When the client-side editing is finished, the changes can be sent to your custom servlet, which would update the Document.
If you build this solution, you may be able to offer it to other Content DB customers!

Accessing Oracle Server without Installing Oracle Client

Hi
I work on a linux based server which would be installed with Oracle Server. My problem is that I dont want to install Oracle Client on every client workstation since there are 1500 PCs in my company.
Could anyone help me on this?
Please note that all of the workstation are using Windows Operating System.
Thanks
Antony

I do not believe such an animal exists. Since Oracle's wire protocol is proprietary, reverse engineering it is a very significant investment.
If you need to access the Oracle server without installing the Oracle client, can you use the thin JDBC driver?

SQL Code not working in Forms Developer without Functions?

Hi all,
I've write this code into Forms at it's work correctly in SQL and the following error occurened
The PL-SQL Code:
DECLARE
     Product_Name Products.Name%TYPE;
     Most_Occurence NUMBER(10);
BEGIN
     SELECT *
     INTO Most_Occurence, Product_Name
FROM (SELECT   COUNT (returned_goods.ID) AS "Max Occurence", products.Name
FROM Returned_Goods
JOIN Products
ON returned_goods.productId = products.Id
         GROUP BY returned_goods.productId, products.Name
         ORDER BY COUNT (returned_goods.ID) DESC)
WHERE ROWNUM = 1;
END;The error message (appears near JOIN Products) :
   Encountered symbol "PRODUCTS" when expecting one of the following:
      ), with group having intersect minus order start union where connectThanks in advance
Edited by: ZiKaS on Dec 30, 2008 8:57 AM

Now...obviously you can't use ansi join syntax in that forms module. So rewrite your query with
FROM returned_goods, products
WHERE returned_goods.productId = products.id

Is any way to install only Export utility without installing oracle

how in can install only Export utility in windows server or in windows xp
and if not is it possible to use Export utility in oracle 10g to export data from oracle 9i

The general rule of thumb is
1. To export data from upper version to lower version, you need to export/import using that lower versions of exp and imp utility.
2. To export data from lower version to upper version, you need to export/import using that upper versions of exp and imp utility.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/exp_imp.htm#sthref2852
I think it may be possible to install database utilities w/o installing full S/W. Please note that I have not tried this approach
thanks

dbf it's not sql server.
>
SQL Server databases have three types of files:
Primary data files
The primary data file is the starting point of the database and points to the other files in the database. Every database has one primary data file. The recommended file name extension for primary data files is .mdf.
Secondary data files
Secondary data files make up all the data files, other than the primary data file. Some databases may not have any secondary data files, while others have several secondary data files. The recommended file name extension for secondary data files is .ndf.
Log files
Log files hold all the log information that is used to recover the database. There must be at least one log file for each database, although there can be more than one. The recommended file name extension for log files is .ldf.

Can I use OLAP kind of functionality without installing OLAP ( using materialized views etc)

Hi,
Can OLAP cube be implemented without having ORACLE OLAP installed? As per my understanding, cubes are something which keeps aggregate data. So can I just use materialized view functionality ( which is already there in Oracle)?
Which other Oracle object can I use without installing ORACLE OLAP ( Dimension etc?)
Thanks a lot.
Nitin

If you mean by implementing an OLAP cube, you mean setting up reports for various summary level data analysis, it is possible to query materialized views to get the same data in some cases. A position paper that describes the advantages of the OLAP Cube v. among other things standard materialized views may be found at this URL: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/options/olap/olap-wp-12c-1896136.pdf?ssSourceSiteId=ocomen
I also would recommend posting this question on the general database forum (General Database Discussions) as well.
Hope this helps,

Username password works in SQL Plus not in SQL Developer

I have SQL Dev 1.2.1. It works fine with some databases, but with two databases with logons managed by Oracle Enterprise User it does not work. I receive an Ora 01017 error invalid username password. The user name and password work fine from SQL Plus and from a third party tool. I have a local developer client environment installed, so am using TNS. SQL Developer was installed before the client environment. I was not trying to access this database before the client environment install. I was using the basic connection before the client install. Neither basic or TNS connection works for this particular database.
Any ideas?

We have changed the password and it still does not work. There are no special characters in the password.
I am tempted to think the problem is the jdbc driver versions. The logon for Enterprise user controlled databases stopped working after I installed the thick client Oracle developer. I have tried to find the threads with information on disabling the thick client jdbc but have not found them. I also have tried to enter a URL for the thin client without success. One of our DBAs is saying that the 11g clients are broken and he is in communication with Oracle about it. He says 10g works but 11g does not.
Any further help would be appreciated.

All of a sudden my Enter key no longer works in SQL Developer.

All of a sudden my Enter key no longer works in SQL Developer. I don't know how I managed to disabled it. Can anyone tell me how to re-enable it?
I already tried the following:
- I closed the application and re-opened it. - It didn't work
- I re-started my machine. I didn't work
Help! Thank you

The same thing has just happened to me and this was very useful to correct the problem --- but now I am wondering why or how this happened. To the best of my knowledge, I haven't make any setting changes so why did I lose the Enter action?

Code insight not working in sql developer 1.1.0.23

i just downloaded today. insight options all checked in preferences section. popup time set to less than a second. i get nothing to work in sql worksheet or while modifying a package body.

Hello,
You should see things from this side sometimes ;-) It's a small team, working hard, very focused! Yes, there is indeed a sense of urgency and we are testing a patch SQL Developer 1.1 at the moment. There is always the battle between wanting to get an updated release to you, the community, quickly, and delaying to ensure what you get is good.
Code insight, performance and many other issues have been addressed in this patch.
As for your other point, we want the tool to be lightweight, easy to install, easy to use with a clear user interface. Perhaps there'll be a new battle when adding features, but that's the goal.

File- Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13

File->Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13.
I downloaded sqldeveloper-1.2.1.3213.ZIP and extract to a local directory. From the extracted directory I ran ..\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper.exe from Windows XP sp2. The program itself seems to run just fine but File-Print doesn't do anything. In Help-About, Java Platform is reported as 1.5.0_06 and Oracle IDE is 1.2.1.3213. I'm not sure where to look for what is causing the problem.
Thanks

I hadn't tried CTRL-P before but I did today. On the first attempt, I saw a small jump in the memory usage for sqldeveloper.exe as reported in Windows Task Manager. Otherwise, there was no change. A second CTRL-P in the same session produced a further bump but subsequent attempts in the same session produced no further change in CPU or Memory Usage.
Using Task Manager to monitor this further, I tried File->Print again and saw that sqldeveloper would periodically climb to 1 or 2 percent CPU and consume a little more memory. After a minute or so, though, all activity stops again.
I do not get a print dialog box from SQLDeveloper using either CTRL-P or File->Print

Enter key doesnt work in SQL developer

enter key doesnt work in sql developer so cant creat new line in code.
enter key works fine when use word etc
Can I fix this in the SQL developer settings somewhere.?
thanks in advance.

Hi Sue,
Just to let you know, your solution worked... My SQL Developer got into a state again where the backspace key stopped working... doing 'load preset, default' on the accelerators did fix it. Strange, because I don't use/configure the accelerators at all. Thanks for that, and hopefully this will be permanently fixed in the next version.
To echo what I think someone else was trying to say... I also have the issue that sql developer will 'lock up' or get bogged down sometimes, when i'm just typing away in the worksheet. Any keystrokes I entered in though will always get entered into the worksheet, once sqldeveloper 'unfreezes' itself. Of course, this issue is an annoyance factor only (little bit of impact on productivity though), but hopefully it gets fixed as well.

I suspect work of SQL Developer after connect

what want about work of SQL Developer after connect ?
Thank you very much

Not really my area, and not really a SQL Developer question, but it's using a standard Java SQL connection in this case.
If you do not supply the DNS suffix (perhaps as a suffix to the host or service name), then it must get it from somewhere, probably some OS configuration. For example, on Win XP, I see this from a Cmd console window...
ipconfig /all
Windows IP Configuration
        Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : <myhostname>
        Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : us.oracle.com
        Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid
        IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
        WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
        DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : us.oracle.com
...Hope that helps (and corrections welcome),
Gary
