I saved a query I created in the SQL Developer Query Builder.
When I retrieved the query, the linked Tables don't show the Column Names in the Query Builder.
The Tables are still linked/joined to one another and the query still runs, but the columns names are blank.
How do I get the Column Name to reappear?
I'm new to SQL Developer, so I'm not sure how to resolve this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Searched through the menus for something that would restore the columns names.
Searched through help option on SQL Developers and nothing found relating to this issue.
I was very tempted to delete this post when I found the answer myself.
However, I think there are more rookies out there like me.
The resolution is to add a semi-colon ";" to the end of the statement in the Worksheet Tab.
Even though I created the query in the Query Builder Tab, SQL Developer creates the SQL Statement in the Worksheet Tab.
So for some reason after you save that Query that was created in the Query Builder Tab; when you retrieve the script, you must add ";" to the end of the SQL Statement in the Worksheet Tab or else you get the issue I encountered with the blank columns.
I have a list of tables in an Oracle Schema. I use SQL Developer to build my queries. I can click on each table within the schema in SQL Developer and get access to a number of tabs, one of which is 'Details':
Within the 'Details' window, I have a property called 'Comments' which contains a description of what the table is for.
Now, I have quite a few tables and I want to somehow grab the table name and description in that comments property for each table and put it into a spreadsheet. Is there any way to do that in SQL Developer? Maybe a query? Or some built in function that iterates over each table and provides that information? I thought about using python, but I'm not sure I can access the 'Details' of the table.
Every once in a while, I find a solution before i have some of you awesome people answer for me, so i thought I'd post up what I found. This is the query I found that works:
select * from all_tab_comments where owner = 'your_schema_name_here'
This provides a list of all the tables in the schema (owner) I want and provides the comments I was looking for. From there, I can just export to an excel spreadsheet.
So simply the problem occurs when I want to edit selected rows and then apply it. I'm sure it worked some time ago. Tried redownload postgres driver in preferences(yeah, I use postgres) Anyone faced same issue? Anyone succeed?
PS. Running on 142.4861.1.
I found read only checkbox in connection preferences, it was not set, toggling didn't help, upgrading, reseting also didn't help.
In my case in version 2020.1 of DataGrip (SQL was run from the opened file, on unique table, so that select just worked as expected, but when I was trying to edit - error appeared: unresolved table reference): specifying schemes in request helped. So that SELECT * FROM users; was changed to SELECT * FROM schemadb.users; and that helped. Probably there is a bug. I've tried all the methods mentioned above.
Try synchronize database connection. It helped me in mysql connection.
What actually helped was toggling Auto-commit checkbox in console, after that everything runs flawlessly.
The only thing that actually worked for me, after trying everything above multiple times, was deleting each DB connection and remaking a new one from scratch.
This can be due to default settings, make it sure your your transaction Mode settings are as below
I had the same issue with datagrop 2020.2. I have followed all the method but for me, just delete the connection and create new connection (never trying to duplicate) just manual. It is works!
Set and clear Read-only in Data Source Properties helps me.
What worked for me was removing a field alias - going from this:
SELECT
l.MSKU Item_SKU,
l.Supplier,
l.ASIN,
l.title,
l.Buy_Price
FROM listings l
WHERE l.Buy_Price IS NULL
ORDER BY l.Supplier, l.listingID desc;
to this:
SELECT
l.MSKU,
l.Supplier,
l.ASIN,
l.title,
l.Buy_Price
FROM listings l
WHERE l.Buy_Price IS NULL
ORDER BY l.Supplier, l.listingID desc;
is all it took for me to be able to edit the results of the query
If your query is using field alias (renaming column instead of using actual column name) , then Datagrip set data results as read only.
Solution:
Rewrite query using field names as in the table and rerun query. Then you will be able to edit the rows.
Example
Rewrite this:
select id,interest_recalcualated_on, interest_recalculation_enabled alias from m_loan;
..to this:
select id,interest_recalcualated_on, interest_recalculation_enabled from m_loan;
Nothing worked. I had to update DataGrip from 2017.2 to 2018.3
I had to open the project by navigating to: /home/user/.DataGrip2017.2/config/projects/my_project/
All my scripts for this project as I did not want to import the config from the old version of Datagrip. So I'll probably need to downgrade, get the scripts and upgrade again.
I struck the same issue, not Postgres but MySql, PhpStorm 2019.1 when I had two schema available on the same db connection and my query: select * from users where full_name like '%handy%'; resulted in a result table that couldn't be edited even though the console reported it was querying the stage schema. A more specific query: select * from stage.users where full_name like '%handy%'; using the exact table name led to a results table that could be inline edited.
The only way I was able to get around this issue was to remove the database connection details for the given connection and recreate them from scratch. While this was happening to me on this specific connection, editing was working fine on other connections, which suggests the problem might be related to specific parameters around the connection in question.
For me, when I changed back my Select query to * (wild char to select all the columns), from specific columns, the edit and save started to working again. This is strange! May be worth reporting a bug to intellij. I'm using DataGrip 2020.1 on macOs Catalina 10.15.3
I thought I had the same problem but just realized I needed to submit changes (with a button or command + enter) for them to be applied.
This answer is 4 years late though. Maybe the bug was already fixed haha, but this may help someone else.
The problem for me was the obvious (well obvious after identifying it) - using a MySQL keyword as a field name (yes I know its not a good idea but thats how it is sometimes). So this caused the error
select id,name,value from mytable;
The correct way to write this of course is using backticks so:
select id,name,`value` from mytable;
and this solved it for me.
seems like DataGrip doesn't allow to change data in the ui table if you select specific columns with joins.
so if you select table1.column1, table2.column2 from <table1> inner join <table2> and try to change the value in column1, you will receive This table is read only warning
only if you do select * from <table>, you can edit the cell values
try this
In the IDE settings (Ctrl+Alt+S), go to Database | General.
Select the Open results in new tab checkbox and click OK.
Re-run your query, and you'll be able to edit and commit the changes in the new tabs.
As far as I can tell, the search filter in the navigator will only search available database names, not table names.
If you click on a table name and start typing, it appears that a simple search can be performed beginning with the first letter of the tables.
I'm looking for way to be able to search all table names in a selected database. Sometimes there can be a lot of tables to sort through. It seems like a feature that would likely be there and I can't find it.
Found out the answer...
If you type for example *.test_table or the schema name instead of the asterisk it will filter them. The key is that the schema/database must be specified in the search query. The asterisk notation works with the table names as well. For example *.*test* will filter any table in any schema with test anywhere in the table name.
You can use the command
SHOW TABLES like '%%';
To have it always in your tools, you can add it as a snippet to SQL aditions panel on the right.
Then you can always either bring it in your editor and type your search key between %%, or just execute it as it is (It will fetch all the tables of the database) and then just filter using the "filter rows" input of the result set.
I have a database with about 50 something tables. I would like to run the report "Data Dictionary" on each table.
Ideally, I would like them all to be in one report, for example, in PGAdminIII, if I right click select "Tables" I will get a report of all the 'objects' and under each one a data dictionary report.
Is there an automatic way of doing this, or an plugin that I can install to postgres? Or is there something analogous to this?
If I understand correctly, you're referring to the ability to right mouse click on a table in PgAdminIII and select Reports > Data Dictionary report?
I'm not aware of any way to do that from PgAdminIII. You could look into using a different tool such as SchemaSpy. Another option (as alluded to by #kgrittn) is to use psql \d with the \H flag to generate html output. My solution (since SchemaSpy didn't do what I needed, and I needed the same output for both Postgres and Oracle) was to roll my own using perl, DBD::Pg and Template::Toolkit.
Update: Added GitHub link.
I wrote a fairly simple Postgres data dictionary generator in Python that spans all schemas and tables within a specified database. If it doesn't have exactly what you want it would be fairly easy to modify.
