In SQL Developer, how do I specify the default location for script files?

jenniee Mar 10, 2017 3:38 PM

In SQL Developer, when I open a file, the default directory the application uses is never the one where my scripts are stored. How can I specify the default directory the application should open when I ask to open a file? It's a bother to have to change the directory every time I open a file, especially since I keep all my commonly-used scripts in one place.

Thanks for your help,

Jennie

In Preferences, go to Database --> Worksheet.

Cheers,

for executing scripts, yes
@script, F5 - we'll look for it in that directory.

Open files in the worksheet - we default in your user directory, but once you browse to another directory to open/save a file - we'll remember that the next time you go to open or save a file. You'll see the directories listed on the left. You'll see this in v4.1 and higher.
