SQLDeveloper displays no tables under connections where it says tables

Tags:

I am not sure why but I just installed SQLdeveloper 32 bit (3.0.0.4). When I click to expand the tables/views/indexes or etc it displays nothing at all!

But when I do the following:

SELECT owner, table_name    FROM dba_tables  

I see the list of tables and I have read access to these tables since I can do a select * from anytable and data shows. Any thoughts?

Why can'ti see tables in SQL Developer?

Post updated November 12, 2018. The answer is simple – you can't see any tables, because you don't OWN any tables. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you don't have any tables.

How do I see the tables under a schema?

The easiest way to find all tables in SQL is to query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA views. You do this by specifying the information schema, then the “tables” view. Here's an example. SELECT table_name, table_schema, table_type FROM information_schema.

How do I enable connections tab in SQL Developer?

The first way you can add any SQL Developer tab (Connections, SQL History, Debugger or Dbms Output). To do this, click on the View menu bar and then Connections. The Connections tab will be visible default on the left .

The SQL Developer tree shows you what objects you own, not what objects you have access to. If you want to see the objects that you have access to that are owned by other users, you would need to navigate to the "Other Users" branch of the tree, then the user that owns the table, then the "Tables" branch.
