I want to retrieve/see the saved password for a connection in Toad for oracle 13version.
I am aware that password can be seen by creating a DB link -> Show SQL. But this trick is working only till Toad 12 version. Can someone please help with a trick to see the password in Toad 13 version?

I have one problem with TSQLConnection component. I use it to connect Oracle SQL database, everything was good, but now I get that error " the password will expire within 7 days", I know this is SQL warnings, but when I use oracle session component for connect to database I did not get that error. Please help me, it is very important for me. My program must work :( I will wait you, thanks in advance.
I'm not familiar with Delphi, but am very familiar with the reported error message."the password will expire within 7 days", is an ORA-28002. If you only get that when connecting from MSSQL (via a linked server) but not when connecting directly to Oracle, then I'd be very confident that the oracle username defined with the linked server is NOT the same as you are using for a direct connection. You need to show us the username that is used by the linked server, and then the output of (connected directly to oracle as a user with DBA credentials)
select username,
account_status,
to_char(lock_date,'dd-Mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss') as lock_date,
to_char(expiry_date,'dd-Mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss) as expiry_date
from dba_users
where username='USER_IN_QUESTION';
obviously substituting your real user in question.
I've written about expiring passwords here: I'm pretty sure a lot of it will be applicable to your situation.
I'm getting reacquainted with Oracle after several years and Oracle 18 XE is causing some problems. I use SQLDeveloper to connect as the SYSTEM user. Then when I create a new user cpp it says that is an invalid user name. I have to prefix new users with c##, so I created the user c##cpp. The c##cpp user is there under Other Users.
But when I try to create a new connection as the c##cpp user the connection fails. I've also tried creating the connection as just cpp, but that fails too.
What's up with creating users in Oracle 18 XE?
-------Update showing my connection parameters-------
I get the same error if I try to connect with SID XE.
Welcome back to Oracle.
Since you've been away, we added a Multitenant architecture. There is a Container Database - it has common users, with names like C##user.
What you're looking for is the actual database where your data is going to live, that's called a pluggable database. There you would go back to creating users, just like you did back before you left.
Make sure you connect to the pluggable database service. The default would be 'XEPDB1' - connect to THAT as sys or system, and then create your users.
It looks like the problem is that Oracle doesn't like lower case user names. When I put the username in double quotes the connection succeeds:
This is on Oracle 11. I gave up on Oracle 18 XE and installed Oracle 11. What a ridiculous waste of time.
does anyone know how to set up default "seeing" of specific tables after connecting to the DB? E.g. we have tables A,B,C,D and after connecting to the DB I want to see TAB with table A and TAB with table B.
Thank you
Sorry, this isn't possible today in Oracle SQL Developer.
You could submit an enhancement request to My Oracle Support or put in an idea to sqldeveloper.oracle.com
I have a server with an Oracle Database. Using Navicat I can connect to the Database and see the database tables, run queries etc.
I am trying to add ODBC support for Oracle to be used with Crystal Reports.
What I have done so far:
I struggled to install instant client and get it working as shown in some guides. As suggested I downloaded ODAC which bundled on the Oracle ODBC Driver and Instant Client etc.
After installing I had Oracle installed in C:\app\Administrator\product\12.1.0\client_1
I added two Environmental Variable:
%ORACLE_HOME% to go to C:\app\Administrator\product\12.1.0\client_1
%TNS_ADMIN% - to go to C:\app\Administrator\product\12.1.0\client_1\Network\Admin
Once added, I then went to control panel->Administrative Tools->ODBC.
I clicked system DSN and added the connection. The connection was successful.
However, when selecting the ODBC connection via Crystal Reports, the Database is showing the database functions (I assume stored functions as they appear in the functions section for the DB in Navicat). I cannot however, see the actual database tables.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so does anyone know how to resolve this. Many thanks for your time
Background: Oracle Forms - DB migration; 6i to 10g
Hi everyone!
Customer situation:
We want to attemp a DB connection with SQLPlus 8 to a Oracle 10g DB (standard installation). Unfortunately SQLPlus always crashes without any error message.
We tried the same scenario with our systems - there was no problem.
Now we are confused. Where should we look first to solve the problem? I have no idea.
Perhaps someone of you..
Thanks in advance,
Arne
Don't use SQL*Plus 8.0.6.
There's a limit on the compatibility and 10g doesn't accept connections from clients that old.
There's a metalink note (207303.1) and 8.0.6 was only supported for connections up to 9iR2
If you can get an 8.1.7 client, that was supported for connecting to servers from Oracle8 to 10gR2. If you just need to connect to a 10gR2 database, go with an instant client
People have got Forms 6i working against Oracle 10g.
It does need the latest patchset (17 or 18, I believe) for Forms 6i
There are also restrictions regarding the character set for the 10g database (can't be AL32UTF8 - metalink note 236231.1).
