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.

I have a model in Azure Analysis Services I'm maintaining through Visual Studio.
The user added some fields to the source table in Snowflake, and I need to pull them into the model.
I right-click on the table and select Table Properties, then go into the Power Query Editor.
I refresh the preview, the new columns appear.
I go to Columns->Choose Columns, the new columns are there and already selected since (Select All Columns) was originally checked. I click OK, then Home->Close & Update.
The SQL statement has changed, I see the new columns listed at the end. I click OK.
Nothing happens. The new columns don't appear in the drop-down in the Tabular Model Explorer, and the model doesn't indicate anything changed.
Obviously I'm missing a step here, would appreciate any guidance folks can provide.
Found the issue -- apparently VS didn't like the alias name the editor was adding to the query. When I simplified the alias to a single word, the update took no problem.
I am wondering if there is a feature that allows you to save multiple sheets with sql queries into a single file that could be reused many times.
I would like to organise my SQL queries in a multiple sheets and save them to a single file. When I would reopen this file, multiple sheets should be displayed with my SQL statements. At this moment I have to save each sheet as a separate file and it's a bit annoying... can anyone help with this?
It looks as if you'd want to use the Workspaces feature.
You can save your current Toad windows and connections as a Workspace. This allows you to quickly resume work after restarting Toad.
If you don't see the Workspace toolbar, right-click in the main toolbar to select "Workspaces" (...)
These components are saved:
(...) Editor - the tab contents, the number of tabs, the last active tab, each tab's line and caret position, and the split mode of the Editor (...)
I need to have a miner update to the package body in Oracle Database using Oracle SQL Deverloper 3.2. The update does not need to change the package specification.
Using the Oracle SQL Deverloper, I right-click on the package name, choose "edit body", then update the body.
Then I find that it seems there are several ways to update the package body:
(1) click "run" button.
(2) click "compile" button.
(3) click "compile with debug" button.
(4) close the tab of package windows, then choose "yes" to save the changes on the pop-up windows.
My questions are:
1) what are the difference in the above 4 ways?
2) which is the proper way?
Thanks a lot
Regards
1) When you click "Run", the SQL Developer starts to execute the current Active SQL. And now it is a CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE..., so it turns to be a DDL
2) When you click Compile, Developer explicitly do the same as previous. No difference actually.
3) When you choose for Debug, if you enable "debugger" in SQL Developer, then you can enable breakpoints in your code, after compiling.
4) When you click Save, SQL Developer simply pushes the code to be Executed, again as Step1.
All are proper ways, but when you SQL developer to edit your proc, you may feel some slowness, because it do maintain some persistent setting behind the screens, and it is slightly buggy. It wont harm, but just slows down.
I am using Toad 10.5.1.3
The new objects that I create are automatically not showing up in the intellisense dropdown. The only thing I know works is to shut down Toad and reopen it. There's got to be a better way than that!
How do I refresh the cache for the intellisense dropdown in Toad for Oracle?
Toad caches results per connection string.
There is a button on your popup that displays objects. Just click it and it will refresh results in cache.
Another way i found out for this is to disable caching of Toad Insight results. Go to options->editor->code assist and disable "cache code insight results".
Of course, this sucks if your dictionary is slow.
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.
