I wrote recently about using REST to upload a file to your table with ORDS. I want to extend that and share more code. I want you to see how to not only load the pics, but then how to get a collection of items, with links to those items, and in this case, also links to the media (pics) which we’ve uploaded. AND IT’S SO LITTLE CODE. What I’ll share: table ddl a few…
Quick post today. If you want to do something, but can’t remember the keyboard sequence, or can’t find the button, try opening the Quick Action panel. It’s available under the Tools menu. It offers a few features. You can search. You can see the keyboard shortcuts. And you can activate the feature immediately by double-clicking on the item. Like, I want my line numbers. Maybe you forgot you could right-click in the gutter. Or maybe…
We released SQL Developer version 17.3 while I was at Oracle Open World, so I didn’t have time to really blog it. Plus, we found this REALLY annoying bug.

Some of you are real fast typers, and don’t need this type of help. However, some of you, no matter how fast you can type, have to deal with column names that are long, hard to spell, and to just work with in general. So let’s say you’re working on a report, and the column order is very specific. Now, you could use the INSIGHT/POPUP feature, but those names come back in alpha order. Or…

Oracle REST Data Services happily converts your Oracle results to JSON for your REST APIs. But what if your results are already formatted as JSON? This post shows how to fix that!
Don’t have direct access to your Oracle Database, but do have Oracle REST Data Services? Your Java apps can make JDBC connections via our mid-tier with our REST Driver! Here’s an example with SQLcl.
You have a schema. Someone else built it. You’ve just inherited it. Now you need to build an application around it. But, tell me more about this schema? No docs? That’s OK, you can build your own! 1. Connect to Your Database, Open a ‘Driving’ Table By driving, I mean one that’s likely to be at the ‘center’ of your business logic. An employees or sales table for example. Now, once it’s open, click on…
In the year 2000… No, let me start over. IN the year 2017, we have Oracle SQL Developer version 17.2. It started as Project Raptor in 2005.
