It’s Friday! Let’s be honest though – you’ve not accomplished much this week. Monday was a holiday, emails have stacked up, lots of your co-workers are on vacation. So how can we rescue this losing scenario and turn it into a major victory? This trick will save you so much time, you’ll be mad I didn’t make you learn it earlier. Apply a Filter to Your SQL History Next week we’re going to work on…
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…
I had a very, very enjoyable time at the Great Lakes Oracle Conference this week in Cleveland (OHIO! – Just in case Joel is reading this.) About 400 people attended, and I think it’s become one of the best conferences in the US, esp for the bang you get for your buck. I did two talks. For the first one, they had me in the ‘big’ room – right after the day’s Keynote. The Keynote…
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.
One of the new features in version 4.2 of SQL Developer is the ability to work with your ORDS Restful Services directly in the database tree. Here’s a video demo… Features via Screenshot Some of you don’t have access to YouTube at work (or at home apparently), so here’s a quick snapshot. As you make changes here, the REST Services, assuming they’re published and ORDS is actually running, are affected immediately. See my other recent…
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.
Love the command line? Hate ugly, out-of-the-box formatting of your results? You’re in luck, we have just the thing for you: Oracle SQLcl. It offers the ability to auto-pretty up your SQL results to the screen. Here’s a quick video overview of what that is, and how it works. For those of you w/o access to YouTube How do you get through your day w/o cat videos and Marvel Studios movie trailers? Anyways, here’s a…
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.
I don’t do enough video. I’ve been cheating with animated GIFs – they’re ‘nice’ because I don’t have to worry about the ‘ums’ and ‘ahs’ as I talk, or even about putting on a clean shirt. But, I have a bunch of videos I need to record for v4.2, so I thought I’d practice a bit. Here’s a short and sweet tutorial on how to go from a table to its index and back, and…
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…
