We have been running an experiment for the past few months: if we host a weekly online webinar, will anyone show up? We – the Database Developer Tools team, mostly – want to try different things, find different ways to reach new developers and make Oracle Database as approachable as possible. For example, this week Product Manager Melli Annamalai – she is a BIG DATA expert, so don’t miss this one!!! – will be doing…
Updated September 2020 This is going to be a FAQ. I get these questions all the time, and I need a place to send people when I don’t have time to live-demo. If your question isn’t below, add yours as a comment. If you want to know what the debugger is or why they might try it over DBMS_OUTPUT, read this. Or skip all this and just go through the slides and YouTube video Debugging…
For some reason I decided to re-join a discussion in the SQL community from way back in 2012. THIS => "tbl_ is a tell for bad database design" via @datachick http://t.co/hq2BH73xic sorry @SQLRockstar— Jeff Smith (@thatjeffsmith) May 28, 2015 Karen started it, Thomas ran with it, and I decided I had to throw my 2 cents into it as well. The short version: it’s hard to know what you’re looking at in database code (read:…
I should have known this, but apparently we offer you up a list of your variables when working in the PL/SQL code editor. It even identifies my string and number variables as such. 42 words, so this is definitely a QUICK TIP.
Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler supports the one-gal design boutique shoppe and the mega-huge development team. It HAS a file-based repository (Subversion aka SVN.) You don’t have to use it, but you should. You can optionally store your designs and data dictionaries in a database for reporting purposes. I strongly recommend you do so. If you do add your design to a repository, once you save it, and BEFORE you COMMIT your changes to the…
You have some data. You want to email it to someone. You don’t want them to have to open an attachment. You want it to be in an HTML-Tabl’ish delivery device. In SQL Developer, write your query. Export to HTML > File. Open Outlook. Start your message. Attach File Point to your HTML File DON’T CLICK ON THE INSERT BUTTON On the INSERT button, there’s a drop-down widget. Click that instead. And then choose, ‘Insert…
Oracle SQL Developer version 4.1 is now available. So is SQL Developer Database Modeler version 4.1. And so is Oracle REST Data Services version 3.0. Java Requirements For SQL Developer Java 8 is now supported. It’s also required. If you need to, you can install Java 8 without removing Java 7 and ‘breaking’ your other Java applications. You can even install Java 8 on a similar machine, copy the Java home directory, and and paste…
In a previous episode, I showed how quickly you can REST enable your Oracle Database tables and views. And I took a second or 3 to show how to create a module in SQL Developer’s REST Development panel, which allows you to have a RESTful endpoint served by a SQL statement which will bring your data back as JSON. Today I want to take another 30 seconds to show how to add a :BIND to…
View – DBA – Security – Auditing A user asked how to use SQL Developer to audit user XYZ. And to be honest, it’s not really set up to work that way. You define operations or objects you want audited. Any user that does XYZ to object ABC will get logged. There’s an exception to this – you can setup SYSDBA users to be audited. This will grab the SYSDBA-level type operations that happen. Check…
Hopefully you’ve heard about the new SQL*Plus we’re building. And hopefully you’ve heard about the new REPEAT command we put into it yesterday. Here’s a quick example of how to build a little ‘monitor’ in just 2 commands, a total of 5 lines of code. The SQL 202904350685e94ff12e0b_000003 So run that, make sure you like the formatting, and the data of course 🙂 Then to turn that into a refreshing report, run this: SQL>repeat 100…
