Oracle SQL Developer insert and delete buttons disabled - oracle

I am using SQL Developer for my Oracle DB, wonder why are my shortcut buttons are being disabled (see attached image) while the user acc i logged in has the permission to add/edit/delete rows. I am able to add rows by typing in query. How should I enable them?
And also not able to edit the row using the GUI by clicking on the pencil button.

how to show un-committed changes in a database table in datagrip

How can I run a statement in the sql query console in manual mode on datagrip and see their effect on the table locally in order to make sure it has the intended effect before committing it to the database?
From DataGrip 2020.2 you can review the query that represents your changes in the data editor.
DML button is active if there are pending changes:
There is a context action "Preview update".
(right click on statement > show context actions)

Tibco Spotfire Desktop. Trusting Custom queries ruins the filters

I am using spotfire desktop for analysing data in an Oracle database. I would like to share the visualizations I am developing. I have seen that the custom queries must be trusted by other users. Below is the solution that I found by browsing the internet. The solution below allows other users to retreive the data, however, afetr doing this the filters do not work anymore and need to be manually reset. Can anyone help with this problem?
Thank you
If it is saved as part of a report
Open the report in the TIBCO Spotfire (Analyst / Desktop / Professional) client.
Go to the top menu and choose Edit -> Data Connection properties .
Highlight the connection and press the "Settings" button.
On the "General" tab, click the "Edit" button.
Highlight your custom query and choose "Edit custom query" from the menu right above it.
Press the "Verify" button, then the "OK" button.
Press OK all the way until the Data Connection Properties dialogue window is closed.

Updating individual sql databases inside Joomla

My work website is running on Joomla 2.5 (yes, I know it needs to be updated) and recently somehow the virtuemart module was updated, resulting in a slight glitch. Now, when hovering over the Virtuemart button in the back end menu, the dropdown menu is not there, and when I click on the VM button it takes me where I need to go, but there is about 200 lines of text now that needs to be scrolled past before I can access the actual VM menu.
I have a full sql database backup from prior to the update, but I just want to know if I can just roll back the update of the module without affecting the listings within VM? I have a feeling the answer is no, so I have pinpointed anything that has been added since the issue and exported the sql table, but can I execute the full backup and then drop the individual tables in afterwards?
Attached is a pic of the text that has appeared...
Please help.image
Login to your Joomla backend as super administrator.
In the main menu select Site -> Global Configuration, then click on the “Server” tab and look for the Error Reporting parameters (these options should appear in the “Server Settings” group).
Set the Error Reporting setting to “None” and click on “Save” to store the changes.
These steps will no longer see that kind of error

Copy and paste text into an Oracle table

In SQL Server, you can copy an Excel spreadsheet, go to SQL Server, open a table, highlight the last row and Ctrl+V to paste all the records from Excel into SQL.
Is there a way to do this in Oracle? I don't want to import, I want to copy & paste. It doesn't appear to let me do it.
Please note; my experience with Oracle is a whopping 3 hours. One of those, "Oh, we're switching to Oracle today. Learn it or find a new job" things. So feel free to explain your answer as if I'm a complete Oracle n00b, because I am.
I'm using Oracle SQL Developer. According to the Help, it's Version 4.1.3.20
click the table. in the window on the right there should be a data tab. click it. there will be an insert row tab. click the field you want to paste to click control+v then click the commit button
Make sure what you are copying is the right data type for the field you are copying into. Since you have sql experience this should help.
It should be noted this is not the preferred way to do this, you should use insert statements.

How can I see other schemas apart from my own when connecting to an Oracle database through server explorer?

I am attempting to add a connection to an Oracle database through Server Explorer. The 'Test' Connection' is successful, however whenever I go to view the list of tables / schemas, I can only see the one associated with my login.
I realise this sounds silly, but when I use the same login/password through Toad for Oracle, I am still allowed to browse "All Schemas" to find the tables I want.
Is this possible through Server Explorer? Or do I need to find a specific login for the schema I want to access?
Solution (just so it's here and not just on the OTN forums)
Right-click on connection in Server Explorer
Choose filters
Select the "Dispalyed Schemas" row in the property grid (it should be selected by default)
In the Property/Condition/Value fields, click the "..." button for Value
Pick any schemas you want to see and click Ok.
Conversely, instead of using the dialog that appears after clicking the "..." button, you can list the schemas separated by commas in the Value textbox.
Oracle's way of dealing with users and schemas is different from SQL Server's. So I suspect the default Visual Studio behaviour won't work properly with Oracle.
Have you installed the free Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio? Find them here. If you do that then you can manually add the other schemas to the filter of your main connection. I found instructions in this OTN forum thread:
"highlight the connection node you
want to moidy and choose filters or
right click on the specific connection
node and choose modify then click on
the filters tab to modify the
filters."
I agree this is clunky, and it should be done automatically. I guess there's a limit to how VS can be extended.
