It’s easier to run things unsecured. It’s unconscionable to run things unsecured. DON’T BE THIS GUY. So Let’s Secure My Database and my Web Services So I have a collection of REST enabled objects (tables, view, and procedures) and a SLEW of RESTful Service modules. I want ALL of them locked down. So I need to create a Role and Privilege. And then I need to assign that privilege to what I want protected. Without…
Stumbling around on StackOverflow this morning, I came across this person’s HOMEWORK question, and the answer chided them on not using ANSI style JOINs. I’m not going to post the actual SQL here, but if you follow the previous link, it’s there for you to grab and have a go. Something I like to do is take REAL code off the innerwebs and use it to test our parser, formatter, and even the Query Builder.…
Slides Oracle REST Data Services: Options for your Web Services from Jeff Smith Video
Updated 18 July 2023 I was inspired by Joel’s post on this subject for APEX so much, that I thought I’d copy his idea. So you’re reading this post on my blog, so you found me – maybe probably via Google. Or you walked into my mom at the grocery store. Either way, so glad you got here. But did you know, there are LOTS of places you get help or learn about SQL Developer…
A follower reached out to me late yesterday with this request: And the answer is yes, we can pretty much get there. I’ve noticed a few things by looking at his hand-formatted code on the bottom section. He prefers: everything lowercase right-aligned keywords no line breaks for the sub query ()’s no line breaks after SELECT/FROM/WHERE keywords So let’s go tell the formatter to follow these same rules. Note that all other formatter preferences are…
I’m always a bit surprised when I find a SQL Developer user who does NOT know about the Instance Viewer! Of course you loyal readers know all about it. But you’re busy – you don’t have time to tell your friends. So just send them this video, and I’ll tell them about it. In a nutshell: it’s a performance dashboard in SQL Developer. It will show you what’s happening in your database, all in one…

We recently (18.2) added a new way to generate execution plans in SQL Developer – we generate a call to DBMS_XPLAN for the SQL ID at your cursor position. DBMS_XPLAN is a package, and one of it’s procedures is ‘DISPLAY_CURSOR’: This table function displays the explain plan of any cursor loaded in the cursor cache. In addition to the explain plan, various plan statistics (such as. I/O, memory and timing) can be reported (based on…
I have some code… 144764613967425c199f05f_000003 I can guess that GIVE_RAISES is a procedure of some kind. But now I want to open it, or ‘go to it’ or ‘step into it.’ And I want to do so without having to pick up my mouse. So I could tell you about the Ctrl+Click trick, but that’s all mouse. So what’s a child of the 80’s to do? Define a keyboard shortcut for ‘Open Declaration’ and then…
