So, I'm kinda new to SQL Developer, but I always heard a lot about it and how it was good. The thing is, my SQL Developer never showed my tables, nor had a "Tables" tab. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but, I've searched everywhere and, wherever I search they simply show that SQL Developer automatically generate the "Tables" tab when you connect. This never happened to me.
One more question, all of a sudden, my SQL Developer toolbars changed and the old ones simply vanished. And, when I say "all of a sudden" I mean it. I closed it and, when I opened, it changed. Also, the buttons doesn't work, none of them.
Your screenshot shows that you have the Data Modeler extension active. All those toolbar buttons are for creating logical data models and ERDs.
It's a little weird as you have a worksheet active, so the worksheet/SQLDev toolbar should be active.
Glad a restart helped.
If this happens again, try Window > Reset Windows to Factory Settings
You're looking at the DBA view. You probably want to be looking at the Connections view. Go to View and choose "Connections". That will bring up the window that contains the tree view that lets you navigate to different object types (like tables) rather than the tree view that lets you navigate to different DBA tasks.
If you are on Windows, try this
View(from the top menu bar) --> Connection(click it)
Clicking on Connection will open the Connection view with all the tables.

I am stuck with my daily use of TOAD.
I use Toad in parallel with SQL Developer, because TOAD provides syntax hi-lighted SQL Export und faboulous dependeny tracking with F4. Still most of development of mine is done on SQL developer.
For a few days I struggle with Toad. Sometimes it opens all the editor windows I need on opening, sometime it won't and I can't figure out how to tailor and tame the beast.
I struggle with this situation:
I have connected to target system, but the editor window does not open by itself, neither I can open one manually - see picture.
What is wrong?
How can I tailor toad, to open an SQL editor window, each time a new session is established?
How can I open a SQL-window, eg. how to activate the open editor option in the situation show on the screenshot?
What kind of strange state TOAD is taking in the situation shown?
Thanks for your help.
Your screenshot is so small I can't see everything you have going on, but the Editor menu you show contains Editor specific commands that are only enabled when an Editor is opened and active. You don't have one. To open an Editor windows see the Database menu. There's also a toolbar button for it, but it looks as though you only have the Team Coding toolbar active.
Since you are having issues I'd recommend resetting the toolbar layout so that everything is visible again. Right click over Toad's toolbar and choose "Restore defaults."
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...

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
I must have done something to my configuration because my SQL Developer is missing the "tables" node in the lefthand navigation tree -- note the absence of "Tables" as very first item, between the DB connection node and "Views":
Where in SQL Developer can a user configure what nodes are displayed? I've tried googling for this but my keywords return a lot of irrelevant stuff so I might have missed if the answer was really there.
This is SQL Developer v4.0.
There is indeed a way to selectively disable some items in there, but you can't really do that accidentally - your installation might have corrupted itself somehow.
To unhide the "Table" item, go to Tools -> Preferences. Then expand the Database item and select Navigation Filter. If Tables is unchecked there, check it.
You can disable the feature entirely from the same page (checkbox at the bottom of the UI).
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.
Suddenly all my keyboard shortcuts in the "Run" menu are disabled and I have no idea why. They were working yesterday, but not today. I can click on the toolbar menu options to run these commands (Run, Trace, etc), but they key bindings don't work. I tried this suggestion and even went so far as to re-install it. Still no luck. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Most of the menu items in Oracle SQL Developer will be active only if at least one connection is active.
So check whether you have your connection object is active.

Have you assigned a connection to the worksheet (or file, if that's what you are trying to run)? It's the dropdown box on the top right-hand side.
This is for debug and won't be enabled until you click on some code (say a Function, Procedure, or a Package)
I had this same issue until I opened the procedure/function etc. with the procedure editor instead of as a worksheet. This is done by finding your program in the Connections explorer and opening it from there.
