Favorites Shortcut in Oracle-SQLDeveloper? - oracle

this is a missing feature of Oracle SQL-Devlopper i am still searching for days.
-create a shortucut, or button, in fact a quick way to access the most used tables (of hundreds) of my DataBase.
I 've used Toad for years, and it's "favorites objects management" was a very important time saver feature . But now, on my new projet we have no choice and we have to use Oracle-SqlDeveloper :(:(
Can we manage favorites nativly in SQLDevelopper ? Or by using a third party add-on ?

There's no 'favorites' feature in SQL Developer. However, you can create reports that would give you what you want.

ODI 12c - No object could be dropped on the diagram possibly because the chosen technologies in the "Create As" dialog were incorrect

I am going to use reusable mapping in odi 12c, but there is a problem. When ever I drag and drop a table into the environment, it gives me this error:
No object could be dropped on the diagram possibly because the chosen technologies in the "Create As" dialog were incorrect. Please, try again choosing a different technology.
I got confused and I do not know what is wrong because before that I was doing the same thing but suddenly this error pops out.
I was going to develop simple reusable mapping to save that for using in my other mapping.
I got the same error message. I couldn't drag and drop any of my tables - regardless of their source.
I did not find any solution except to delete my old mapping and create a new one.
Closing the ODI and launching again should help as a workaround for this error.
Use the command:
odi -clean -initialize
This will clear the cache and launch ODI and it should negate the error until next time.

ADS -- Run Button Dimming

Context: I'm running some simple queries in Azure Data Studio to query and manipulate data in a local instance of SQL Server 2019.
Question: When I query the table via "Select", the Run button is accessible. As soon as I Truncate the table, the Run button dims & is no longer accessible --__-- Why!? Once the button dims seems I'm unable to execute any other queries in the same query window afterwards. SMH.
Kinda ridiculous that I need to even post this question given how simple these 2 queries are. I expect this button to be easily accessible, similarly to SQL Server Management studio. I read through the docs and dont see anything about this button dimming issue. ADS is built with similar components to VSC so experience or knowledge in that tool may help. Can someone please share any tips/tricks they know on how to fix this issue?

Refresh Oracle sql developer connection list in program

I am a new SQL developer using Oracle sql developer connect to Oracle.
I know how to refresh Table/View list by right click mouse and choose 'Refresh' which will show new tables I just created.
May I ask if is it possible I can do it from program code?
like execute any procedure or any build-in method that can refresh table list by program?
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

I tried searching google but I can't get answer,I am feel guilty to ask this Lazy question,but I believe the answer and question will help lots of lazy programmer like me
exec refresh_table_list
Nope, you just need to use your mouse.
If you use the New Table dialog, we will refresh the list for you automatically.
The only other way would be to disconnect and reconnect, but that would be awfully expensive.
Or if you've just created your table, and you want to open it - use the ctrl+mouse hover click trick.

MS Access Backend Controls - Close, Save etc

This may be a simple fix and maybe I'm missing something obvious, but when I split my DB it wasn't entirely finished, and there have been modifications requested which require me to edit my backend.
How come it's not the same GUI layout (exactly)? Tables open in "windows" within Access, and when maximized, cannot be closed, etc. It's annoying as hell as I can't close my table to deal with its relations. I can only get to design view by finding it in the Tables list and RightClick->Design instead of on the bar above the tables, etc.
Is there a setting somewhere that caused these minor GUI changes when I split the DB? How do I put it back, as it's bugging me greatly; slowing down modifications by a lot.
EDIT: It seems that the "tab windows" option was removed for the backend for some reason..
Appearance of the windows in MS Access 2012 is controlled by the Options settings:
File->Options->Current Database under Document Windows Options

VS 2010 Server Explorer Database Showing No Tables

I'm working on a .Net application that needs to read from an Oracle 10g database behind Siebel. In VS 2010 Server Explorer, I've created a connection using the OracleClient type connector with a reference to the Oracle TNS service name as the "server name." The "Test Connection" button shows that the connection is successful. However, in the Server Explorer, when I go to expand the Tables, no tables are shown. I know for a fact that there are 3000+ tables in the database (thanks Siebel). Anyone know what's happening here? I'd like to create an Entity Framework 4.0 Entity Data Model...
Thanks for the help!

I've had the hardest time trying to solve this issue myself. There's very little useful documentation on the subject. Once you create a data connection and tested the connection click "Ok" then open up the server explorer window. Right click on the new oracle data connection and select "Change View". By default "My Objects" are selected, try selecting "User Objects" or "All Objects". Once you do, you should be able to see all of the objects under the data connection sub categories.
Right click on connections, go to Filters, the "displayed schemas" property by default, it's your logon name to the connection. Change the schemas to dbo schema and update the property. Then you should see all the tables. It worked for me :)
Do you have privileges on the schema and/or tables?
Don't know VS2010 but it sounds to me like there's a setting to show you only your schema by default.
UPDATE: Oracle just announced a new ODAC version, 11.2.0.1.1 Beta with support for VS 2010. You might give that a shot.
The same situation occurred for me, however this was with SQL Server 2008. Somehow the sql user account I was connecting with lost both read and write privileges. Once the account was given back those privileges I was able to access everything as expected.
