Someone asked, I have this cool report, how do I get the chart out of it? For now I’ve been taking screenshots. So let’s look at how you can get your Report out to HTML (and a PNG.) When I say HTML, I mean you have a SQL Dev report that’s generated by SQL Developer itself. I am NOT talking about DBMS_OUTPUT reports that you can use to physically print HTML3 code and have it…
Your relational models can get big. Bigger than the human mind can easily consume. So instead of generating a report of 2,500 objects, you might want to break down your model to smaller chunks, AKA SubViews. So let’s open the reports, which you’ll find on the main File menu. First, we don’t want the main diagram in the report, that’ll give us EVERYTHING. I just want the subview diagram. So after un-checking ‘include main diagram,’…
Generating Links with Oracle REST Data Services with both SQL (GET) and PL/SQL (POST) examples.
You can’t REST if you don’t HATEOAS, so you need to know how to generate hyperlinks in your JSON responses for your REST APIs.
“I do not want a line break after the and statement.” I’ve seen this come up a few times, so let’s answer that right now. 137890558269a1110e77ae3_000001 Default formatting changes that to 137890558269a1110e77ae3_000002 This is NOT what the person asking for help wants. To the Preferences! So let’s change that and see what happens. Or… Speaking of OR
Got this question: Hello @thatjeffsmith ! How I save packege body and packege spec in same archive? #SqlDeveloper— Felipe Pereira (@FelipeR_Pereira) April 27, 2017 Answer: YES. Then set your file type. Now to confirm I’m really getting what I want. SQL Developer will automatically open the file after it’s created.
Code searching isn’t new for version 4.2. It’s not even new for version 4.1, or v4.0…but what IS new, is that some folks consider the SQL behind their VIEW objects to be ‘code.’ So, for version 4.2, you can say, search my PL/SQL source AND search the SQL behind my views. You’ll notice there’s an option to add wildcards around your search term for the ‘Code’ category – that’s useful when searching object names in…
Password resets. It used to be a pain – it required installing and configuring an Oracle client. But, no more! Simply get version 4.2, and you’re good to go. Here’s the video. So go get version 4.2 already.
Today is the day! We have new releases of both SQL Developer and SQL Developer Data Modeler. I’ve been talking about v4.2 tweaks and enhancements for awhile now, and here’s the full list if you want to go back and review. I’d like to share a few highlights though. But first, FULL STOP. Go click that big button to the top and left. Ok, let’s continue. Formatter I’d like to thanks the entire community for…
Can you? YES. Absolutely, even. Go from your app to your Oracle Database resources via REST (GET|POST|PUT|DELETE), and your responses come back via JSON. No APEX required. And even better, you can have ORDS up and running in less than 5 minutes. Ok, but what about ORDS & APEX? If you want to provide a RESTful API for your Oracle Database, then ORDS is for you. But, when I do talks on ORDS, I ask…
In the current issue of Oracle Magazine, you can read all about how to get started with the Auto REST feature of Oracle REST Data Services…or in other words, how to automatically make Tables and Views available via REST APIs. A table or view is very easy to consider as a resource in the REST model. What ORDS does is allows you to interact with them via GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE – without writing…
