Oracle SQL Developer version 4.1 is Now Available

2 Mins Read

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 it on your SQL Developer machine if you need to.

We’ll have a Windows download that includes the 64 bit JDK available soon, but for now you’ll have to get Java 8 up and going on your own. Or install SQL Developer Data Modeler 4.1 with the embedded JDK and point to that Java home.

To ‘point’ to the right Java Home, on Windows, go to this directory and file:

My OS user name is 'Jeff D. Smith' yours is probably something else.
My OS user name is ‘Jeff D. Smith’ yours is probably something else.

Two things:

  1. You’re probably not ‘Jeff D. Smith’
  2. The AppData folder is usually hidden – tell Explorer to show you hidden files too

If you DO cheat and use the Data Modeler embedded JDK, you won’t be able to use this awesome feature, it requires Java FX, which isn’t part of the Data Modeler embedded JDK.

    Hallo,
    installed the latest version of SQL Developer and the Problem with the:
    – All Reports/Data Dictionary Reports/Database Administration/Waits and Events/Events In The Past X Minutes
    still occours but if you change the IDE conf to use “englisch” all works fine
    – $sqldeveloper Install/ide/bin/ide.conf
    – add there the Entries at the end
    – AddVMOption -Duser.language=en
    than no error message and the feature works as designed i think the problem ist with the Class Description and the Language Settings from the System.

    Hi,

    I found a solution for Display the reports in Intance View.

    You have to run Sqldeveloper.exe with options –AddVMOption=-Duser.language=en

    The only problem is that SQLDeveloper is in English now.

    I hope for the next patch that work in any language :-).

    Hello, I have installed Oracle 11g XE and SQL JDK developer. I am fairly new to this. I see the HR Schema but cannot find a way to download the OE schema that I need to prepare for the IZ0-O61 Exam. Is there a way to download the OE Schema?
