Is there a way to use windows shortcuts in the open file dialog in SQL DEVELOPER?

Greg AmeresOct 28 2021

I've tried finding the answer to this but, Is there a way to use windows shortcuts in the open file dialog in SQL DEVELOPER? I have shortcuts in my documents folder in windows pointing to the network directories where i keep my SQL files. SQL developer opens them like text files and not like SYMLINKs. Is there a way to fix this? Can i set up shortcuts or symlinks in windows that SQL developer would understand?
I do have a few workarounds but i would think you'd support normal file open functionality in windows. I did try and find this in the instructions but haven't found anything.
I did finally find the default directory in options/database/wporksheets and that helps a bit too.

Hi!

Have you put contents of sd_card directory to your card? (So that "java" is put to the root of file system)

Hi

Yes, I have the Java folder as the root, with just the .ini file inside that.

It looks like SDcard access with Mbed type devices can be a bit tricky, probably just need to try some different cards?

Mine are both Sandisk....

with thanks

Frankly I've myself observed such situation however after I've formatted the card one more it has vanished. I'll check with the dev team whether this is custom situation or not. Just in case, my card is Transend

I've seen a bit of flakyness with SDcards, but after removing and re-inserting the issue went away. Maybe you have a bad SDcard slot on the FRDM board?

And by the way, having some samples working does not necessarily mean that everything is fine on low level. I've seen a situation when the above message was printed but later on the card was accessed successfully. Apparently some OS APIs were able to proceed but not all of them
