Sql Developer hangs/ crashes while debugging

BillArms_GSMay 30 2013 — edited Sep 6 2013
While happily debugging a piece of an SQL package using the remote debugger, I get a hang/crash on SQL devleoper. This occurs when I highlight a piece of code in the debugging window. The application freezes and has to be restarted using WindowsTaskManager.

Is this a reported bug? I was not able to find any discussion on the OTN forums or a quick google.

Regards,
Bill

Hi, Suman,

You don't seem to have a problem using SQL or PLSQL, so the SQL/PLSQL forum might not be the best place for this thread.

I'll move it to the   forum for you.

Ok. No problem. Thank you!

Hi,
I have written excel macro to connect Oracle Database to get the data. It is perfectly working fine.
I have tried below connection strings. 
 1. con.Open ("User ID=xxx;Password=yyy;Data Source=zz;Provider=oraOLEDB.Oracle")
 2. 
 strCon = "Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle}; " & _
 "CONNECTSTRING=(DESCRIPTION=" & _
 "(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)" & _
 "(HOST=<servername>)(PORT=pno))" & _
 "(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=sid))); uid=xxx; pwd=yyy;"
 con.Open (strCon)
When I copy this excel file in end user machine it is throwing below exception:
Run-time error '3706':
Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed.
So, an end user must have the "Oracle Client" in his machine to run this macro on his machine? or is there any way we can connect to oracle database from Excel without installing oracle client?
Thanks,
Suman

WHERE is it 'perfectly working fine'?  What is apparent is you simply put the Excel workbook on a different computer that doesn't have that OLEDB source configured; just because it's configured on your machine doesn't make it configured on any other computer.

You should try to configure the datasource on the computer you simply dropped that Excel workbook  on and try again.

I've gotten good examples from the hoopercharles blog, every time I forget how to do what David said.

Edit:  You may also want to use the Oracle drivers.

Thanks David! Oracle client has been installed on my machine that's why it's working fine.

Can you please let me know how to configure OLEDB Source in users machine? or Please share the link if you have any.

-Regards

Thank you! Do you mean I have to install Oracle drivers in users machine? Could you please share more details on the same?

Like I said, I can never remember how to do it, I just google odbc hoopercharles plus some more words describing exactly what I want. ORA - 12560 with ODBC

Yes, to make this easy on  you the Oracle  client should be installed on the users machine.  Microsoft makes Oracle drivers but the Oracle client is more reliable.  Without some sort of OLEDB/ODBC driver for Oracle this won't work.
