Download And Install Oracle Sql Developer
Riley Boylan
JDK 5.0 Update 6 or later for Windows, available at: (If you do not have this SDK installed, you can use SQL Developer, but you must download and install the kit for Windows systems with no Java SDK or with a Sun Java SDK release lower than 5.0.)
If Oracle Database (Release 11 or later) is also installed, a version of SQL Developer is also included and is accessible through the menu system under Oracle. This version of SQL Developer is separate from any SQL Developer kit that you download and unzip on your own, so do not confuse the two, and do not unzip a kit over the SQL Developer files that are included with Oracle Database. Suggestion: Create a shortcut for the SQL Developer executable file that you install, and always use it to start SQL Developer.
For Windows systems, there are two kits: one for systems on which the Sun Java SDK release 1.5.0_06 or later is installed, and another for systems with no Java SDK or a Sun Java SDK release earlier than 1.5.0_06. Be sure to download the appropriate kit.
Unzipping the SQL Developer kit causes a folder named sqldeveloper to be created under the folder (for example, C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper). It also causes many files and folders to be placed in and under that directory.
SQL Developer requires that the Sun Java J2SE JDK 5.0 (Update 6 or later) be installed on the system. If you need to install this JDK, go to and click the link for downloading JDK 5.0 Update 12 (or the most recent available update).
The first time you start SQL Developer after installing it or after adding any extensions, you are asked if you want to migrate your user settings from a previous release. (This occurs regardless of whether there was a previous release on your system.)
In the dialog box that is displayed, do not accept the default location for the settings. Instead, specify the location of your settings for the previous release, which might be a folder whose path ends with sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\system or Documents and Settings\\Application Data\SQL Developer\system.
If you have used a previous release of SQL Developer, you may want to preserve database connections that you have been using. To preserve database connections, save your existing database connections in an XML file. To save the connections, right-click the Connections node in the Connections Navigator and select Export Connections. After you complete the installation described in this guide, you can use those connections by right-clicking the Connections node in the Connections Navigator and selecting Import Connections
SQL Developer stores user-related information in several places, with the specific location depending on the operating system and certain environment specifications. User-related information includes user-defined reports, user-defined snippets, SQL Worksheet history, code templates, and SQL Developer user preferences. In most cases, your user-related information is stored outside the SQL Developer installation directory hierarchy, so that it is preserved if you delete that directory and install a new version.
The following table shows the typical default locations (under a directory or in a file) for specific types of resources on different operating systems. (Note the period in the name of any directory named .sqldeveloper.)
If you want to prevent other users from accessing your user-specific SQL Developer information, you must ensure that the appropriate permissions are set on the directory where that information is stored or on a directory above it in the path hierarchy. For example, on a Windows system you may want to ensure that the SQL Developer folder and the \\Application Data\SQL Developer folder under Documents and Settings are not shareable; and on a Linux or Mac OS X system you may want to ensure that the /.sqldeveloper directory is not world-readable.
Download Java Access Bridge for Windows version 1.1. The file you will download is accessbridge-1_1.zip. It is available from (See the Java Access Bridge documentation available from this Web site for more information about installation and the Java Access Bridge.)
The search process can take a long time on a large disk with many instances of SDK or SQL Developer, or when searching multiple disks. However, unless you complete an exhaustive search of your disk, Access Bridge will not be optimally configured, and will not be correctly installed to all of the Java VMs on your system. After selecting the disk to search, click Search.
Confirm that the following files have been installed in the Winnt\System32 directory (or the equivalent Windows 2000 or XP directory), or copy them from \installer\installerFiles because they must be in the system path in order to work with SQL Developer:
Confirm that the file accessibility.properties has been installed in the \jdk\jre\lib\ext directory, or copy it from \installer\installerFiles. Confirm that the file accessibility.properties includes the following lines:
Before you uninstall SQL Developer, if you plan to install SQL Developer (the same or an updated version) later, you may want to save your existing database connections; and if so, see Section 1.4 before uninstalling.
If you have created a shortcut for SQL Developer, and if you do not plan to install SQL Developer into the same location again, you should remove that shortcut or modify the shortcut properties to reflect the new location.
This archive includes both SQL Developer and an embedded copy of the Java 11 Development Kit (JDK). Simply extract the zip to a fresh directory and run the sqldeveloper.exe in the top directory. The EXE is configured to run the embedded JDK by default.
This archive. will work on a 32 or 64 bit Windows OS. The bit level of the JDK you install will determine if it runs as a 32 or 64 bit application. This download does not include the required Oracle Java JDK. You will need to install it if it's not already on your machine. We officially support Oracle JDK 11.
To install and run:
- Ensure you have a JDK installed, if not, download here
- Download SQL Developer and extract sqldeveloper.zip into a new folder
- Within that folder, open the sqldeveloper folder
- Double-click sqldeveloper.exe
The new release of the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2017 18.3.0.0.0 works not at all after the installation - the integration in Visual Studio is missing afterwards, so that I can't connect to any
I'd like to Oracle developer studio (ODS) on Ubuntu (in order to use its advanced parallel debugging features), unfortunately the install script will only install on Oracle Solaris, Oracle Linux or Redhat systems. I've followed the advise in an earlier post but it doesn't work on Ubuntu 14.04 with the latest version of ODS. Short of installing a VM and then Redhat on the VM or another Linux installation I am at loss of what to do.
I believe you can install Oracle Developer Studio just by downloading the tar file version and unzipping it. This method won't support updates via a package manager, but I was able to get it to work on Ubuntu 16.04. Once the tar file is downloaded it can be unziped with tar and the program can be run by executing ./OracleDeveloperStudio12.6-linux-x86-bin/developerstudio12.6/bin/sunstudio
This can be circumvented by running VSCode as admin with --no-sandbox (to prevent it crashing when run as admin) however this is not an ideal final solution as this process needs to run each time VS Code is opened which means it cannot be run once as admin and then as a standard user thereafter, some users do not have local admin access either. You also cannot install extension updates when running VS Code as admin.
Oracle Forms & Reports 10.1.2.0.2 is not the latest version. To go even further, Oracle Forms and Reports (including developer suite) 6i and 10gR2 are de-supported versions of Oracle Forms and Reports - 10gR2 has been de-supported since December 2011.
Qn1:When installing the certified version of Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 for custom forms development in E-Business Release 12 on a Windows 7+ 64-bit client desktop,
the command prompt shows up then gracefully exits; the Oracle Universal Installer never shows up.
You have tried changing the compatibility of the setup.exe to Windows XP and running as an Administrator to no avail.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Qn2: Oracle Developer Suite 10gR2 10.1.2.0.2 is required to be installed first, then later updated to 10.1.2.0.3 with EBS Release 12 and used to be certified on Windows 7 32-bit only
With Windows 7 end of life in Jan 2020, how do you expect one to do EBS forms development going forward seeing that Windows 10 64-bit is now the final version supported by Microsoft?
Workaround 1: You can run the Developer 10g setup.exe installer in Windows compatibility mode > Windows XP (Service Pack 2) or Windows XP (Service Pack 3). See Section 6 in Note 277535.1.
Thanks for this, at first I downloaded a linux version and it didn't work. After that I removed that version, btw I could not do it with the ubuntu software upgrade tool so did a delete java from the GUI, and downloaded the debian one. The install took place but could not find the /usr/lib/jvm with the GUI. If you use mlocate it is there. So I just passed that path when I started pl/sql dev. Now, it works....!
Hello Ishak, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Are there some way to change the jdk. I use the jdk 15 but it not working properly. The sqldeveloper crash than of a time when is connected to an amazon database.
Small issue: when running sqldeveloper from desktop shortcut, error occurs while connecting to DB:
Status : Failure -Test failed: no ocijdbc21 in java.library.path: [/usr/java/packages/lib, /usr/lib64, /lib64, /lib, /usr/lib]
