schestowitzOracle sucks...seriously, their SQL Developer app which has had at least a few releases in the past year STILL doesn't support java 1.7, which was release Feb 2011.Mar 23 21:34
schestowitzEDIT: Also I'd like to register a complaint with the intarweb about SQL Developer and it's piss-poor ability to detect and gracefully recover from disconnects. If you try and run a query after your session times out, it tells you it can't because it's disconnected. Fine, in MS SQL Server Management Studio it does the same and then automatically reconnects to the last connection/DB used. In Oracle SQL Developer you have to go Mar 23 21:35
schestowitzto the connections menu, tell it to disconnect (even though it KNOWS it's not connected) wait for it to do it's thing, then choose to connect again. After that you can close the new window it opened, go back to your original query, tell it which database to reconnect to, then rerun the command. It is a bug reported and "fixed" in the early 2000s, when it was broke again they claimed they'd be fixing it soon. Is 8+ years not Mar 23 21:35
