Use tnsnames.ora in Oracle SQL Developer


I am evaluating Oracle SQL Developer.

My tnsnames.ora is populated, and a tnsping to a connection defined in tnsnames.ora works fine. Still, SQL Developer does not display any connections.

Oracle SQL Developer Soars mentions, that if

you have Oracle client software and a tnsnames.ora file already installed on your machine, Oracle SQL Developer will automatically populate the Connections navigator from the net service names defined in tnsnames.ora.

I also tried to set my TNS_ADMIN environment variable, but after restarting SQL Developer there are still no connections displayed.

Any ideas?
Anyone successfully working with SQL Developer and tnsnames.ora?


Solution

  • Now you can connect via the TNSnames options.
