Does the oracle sql developer display a datetime field in the oracle server’s timezone or in my local os timezone?

Yes, tip #8 works
but with proper single quotes (for those who copy and paste from this webpage) and with 24HR clock

ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = ‘YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS’;

Thanks for the tip #8 Paul about -
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = ‘YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS’;

SQL Developer did not display timestamp until I ran this command.

Kathy,

I have found that if you terminate every statement with a semi-colon in Developer, then F9 will just execute the statement where the cursor is.

Quick note — if you have specific needs for date/timestamp formatting, you can set them once under preferences/database/NLS parameters.

Kathy,
You just need so set up an accelerator key for that. If you go to tools->preferences and then click on Accelerator, and then you can find the command that you want to run then you can set the Shift-F9 or whatever command you want for that command.

Just switched fromm Toad to Developer and can’t find the equivalent of Shift F9 in Toad, which means execute the command where the cursor is.

Only workaround I’ve found is to select the entire statement and then hit F5. It’s annoying, at best.

Does anyone know if there’s an equivalent to Shift F9?

I used MySQL and PostgreSQL before and now using Oracle 11g in my office. I recommend Navicat GUI. Recently, I visited their site and found that Navicat released a new Oracle GUI - Navicat Oracle Lite. It's free version. Download URL : http://oracle.navicat.com News : http://blogs.navicat.com I think Navicat is quite intuitive and easy to use.

On the NLS topic, we are working w/ French chars in the DB and when either of the following are entered – œ Œ and Ÿ – we see a ¿ char via Toad or Sql*Plus

But when viewed via Oracle SQl Developer the chars display properly.

No changes were made to local NLS parms or Oralce Session NLS parms – Any thoughts?

Suspecting the JDBC drivers at this point but have no real evidence..
