SQL Developer Issue
Solvedjee pee Posted messages 31861 Registration date Status Moderator Last intervention -
Hello,
I am currently in programming training, we are learning about databases and we are using Sql Developer. Strangely, Sql Developer does not work on my new Lenovo laptop "bought specifically for training". A colleague in the training has exactly the same laptop as mine and Sql Developer works without any issue for him.
The SQL loading bar loads, then freezes, and a screen appears in the background with nothing written on it.
I should mention that on the PC I have only installed Sql Developer, WampServer, and Visual Studio Code.
I am attaching a photo of what I see when I launch Sql Developer; if anyone has a solution to my problem, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you and have a good evening.

Hello
Did you download the zip?
Did you unzip it to the root of your hard drive? (and not in my documents?!)
Are you an admin on your machine? Have you tried to run the exe as "Administrator" (right-click on the exe to see this option)?
Have you installed JRE? Which version?
What OS are you on?
These are all the lines of thought I can give you...
.
Best regards,

Hello,
I don't think I can be of much help. It's been over 7 years since I last touched Oracle ;-)
I went to download SQL Developer from the Oracle site. Which version did you take? From the Oracle site? I took the 64-bit version with JDK because without JDK, some parts will be missing and you would need to install a JDK on the PC.
I didn't remember that this tool is a self-executable, portable application without installation. At least you properly extracted the zip, not running SQL Developer from the .zip.
I launched the .exe and it works perfectly.
So delete everything on your PC, re-download the .zip.
Good evening, I found a solution on the internet that I wasn't too sure about, but it worked!
1) In "c:\Users\MY_USER\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\", I changed the name of the directory system4.1.0.17.29 to system4.1.0.17.28.
2) After running the newly extracted SQL Developer (4.1.0.17.29), I was prompted to copy the configuration from the 4.1.0.17.28 to 4.1.0.17.29 ;)
So I changed the last digit of the system from the higher number to the lower one: 9 --> 8 (just like in the example).
Hope this helps some people!
Have a good evening.
Problem solved on my end.
