I downloaded Windows 64-bit with JDK 8 included of SQL Developer 18.1.
To run Oracle SQL Developed I just unzipped the file and run the sqldeveloper.exe contained in the folder.
Unfortunately, as you can see in the image the size of everything is extremely small and very difficult to see.
This issue appears exclusively with this software.
How can I resolve it?
I also faced a similar issue when installed this on Windows 10. The issue has to do with compatibility settings.
I have fixed it following the steps given below:
Get shortcut of sqldeveloper at your desktop
Ensure that you have admin rights in your PC
Right Click on sqldeveloper icon and select Properties.
Go to the Compatibility tab:
Compatibility mode change it to windows 7
Check the option of Override high DPI scaling beaviour
Select "System" in drop down below
Apply
Re-Launch the application
I guess this is a subjective statement - but that doesn't appear SMALL to me.
However, if you're using an OS accessibility feature to increase the size of text in your applications, the new 'Welcome Page' can interfere with that.
Uncheck 'show on startup' in the Welcome page
Restart SQL Developer.
You should be good.
The Welcome page uses JavaFX to render some HTML and this is apparently getting in the way due to a Java bug. We're looking to mitigate or fix this for a future release.
If that doesn't work, you can also try to actually increase the UI font size.
I talk about how to do that here
This is what it looks like bumped up to font size 14
Find your ide.properties file.
Windows: It's in your OS User's AppData, Roaming, SQL Developer, systemX.Y.Z..., o.sqldeveloper directory where X.Y.Z... represents your version of SQL Developer.
Linux/Mac: It's in your $HOME/.sqldeveloper, systemX.Y.Z, o.sqldeveloper directory.
You’ll notice this file is VERY well documented. There’s a section that speaks to Windows in particular. To change the default size for all look and feels, add this line, the uncommented one:
# To modify the font size for a particular locale under all
# look-and-feels, set the Ide.FontSize.<languageID> property. For
# example:
Ide.FontSize.en=14
2018 Update
On my 4k Mac Mini (2018 build if that matters):
Oracle 8 JDK
SQL Developer 18.3
Mac OS X look and feel
Ide.FontSize=21
This is how SQL Developer looks:
I changed font style and size from available settings from SQL developer.
We can change using Tools -> Preferences ->Code Editor -> Fonts
Fixed this for myself in Oracle Linux 8, but is also worth trying in RHEL and Fedora, if you use either of those.
If SQL Developer is running, close it.
With superuser privileges, open the following file for editing:
sudo nano /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.conf
Add the following two lines at the end:
AddVMOption -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2
AddVMOption -Dsun.java2d.uiScale.enabled=true
Restart SQL Developer.
If the interface still looks too small, or too big, change the uiScale value (untested).
I had the same issue,
if you still could not fix the problem with the given solutions, for me also worked the following:
Go to the Display Settings;
Go to scaling and "reset it": change to another scale, for example, 100% and then to your preferred scale;
This should force the SQL-Developer Window to your preferred scale, unfortunately you have to repeat this procedure after every new SQL-Developer launch.
change the setting from "Compatibility tab" as highlighted in the above post was the only way to make the icon much more larger
In case anyone landed here looking for the same answer for a newer version of Oracle SQL Developer (like I did)…
As of v22.2.1, for macOS the preferences are now located in Oracle SQL Developer --> Settings…
You can adjust the font style and size under Code Editor --> Fonts
Hope that helps!
Please refer to the attached error message as while executing this word macro I am getting this:
The program used to create this object is forms. that program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install forms or ensure that any dialog boxes in the forms are closed
Kindly let me know what could be the issue in it.
This error message might be related to a missing Office update. Please make sure that your Office installation is fully patched (or that at least the update mentioned in the below article is installed).

open Eclipse as administrator and this problem is resolved :-)
This unfortunately happens occasionally. You should ensure you're using the latest Selenium release and then report any issues on the issue tracker. The project page is http://selenium.googlecode.com/
I need to update my SqlCE3.5 database to 4.0.
I get the following error message when I'm trying to access my 3.5 sdf/database using the new CE4.0 connection provide :-
System.Data.EntityException: The underlying provider failed on Open. ---> System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeInvalidDatabaseFormatException: The database file has been created by an earlier version of SQL Server Compact. Please upgrade using SqlCeEngine.Upgrade() method.
Anyone know how I can do this? Obviously I need to do it programatcially but i'm not sure what I should do / what references I need to add, etc.
Cheers!
Call System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeEngine.Upgrade. See MSDN, which contains sample code.
You needn't upgrade when you see this error:
The database file has been created by an earlier version of SQL Server Compact. Please upgrade using SqlCeEngine.Upgrade() method.
Simply:
Right-click your Project in Solution Explorer
Choose properties, go to References tab
You'll see a reference called: System. Data.SqlServerCe Type/net version/4.0 - delete this item (select item and then click remove in the bottom of this window).
Click on the "add..." button left of the "remove" button
In the .NET tab, find System.Data.SqlServerCe 3.5 and add this.
Compile your project!
I think this will work.
I have chosen SSRS to deliver ad-hoc reports via Report Models to my user. However I did not consider fully how this would work in different browsers.
I have now found that the Report Builder download (which is a Click Once application) does not work on Firefox. Instead of running and installing the application it only gives the option to "Save File". This puts the file ReportBuilder.application into the download list. When you then select to install it the install starts (the "Verifying application requirements" dialogue displays) but then there is an error. Details of the error are: -
ERROR SUMMARY
Below is a summary of the errors, details of these errors are listed later in the log.
* Activation of C:\Users\hobsong\Downloads\ReportBuilder(5).application resulted in exception. Following failure messages were detected:
+ Downloading file:///C:/Users/hobsong/Downloads/ReportBuilder.exe.manifest did not succeed.
+ Could not find file 'C:\Users\hobsong\Downloads\ReportBuilder.exe.manifest'.
+ Could not find file 'C:\Users\hobsong\Downloads\ReportBuilder.exe.manifest'.
+ Could not find file 'C:\Users\hobsong\Downloads\ReportBuilder.exe.manifest'.
I'm surprised by this lack of compatibility. Is it the same for all Click Once apps in Firefox?
Is there anything I can do?
You could try querying Google for "clickonce firefox" for some quick answers.
Or I could spoil you the fun and point you directly to FFClickOnce, a Firefox add-on created explicitely to allow Firefox users to download and run Click-one applications.
I was able to get the FFClickOnce extension to work on Firefox 4. I did so by opening the XPI extension file and modifying the 'install.rdf' to work for Firefox versions up to 4.0. I haven't played around with it too much, but it worked on SSRS 2008 R2.
