Unable to edit alias properties in SQuirreL SQL Client Version 3.5.0? - sql

I'm unable to edit the properties for my DEV alias. The connection to my oracle 11g db is fine, I just need to 'trim the fat' so I don't load everything from the schema. I'm using the Oracle Thin Driver. Anyone have any suggestions?

I had this problem in 3.4.x and 3.5.x versions of SQuirrel with the Oracle plugin and JDBC Thin drivers. I don't know if it's a problem with the OCI drivers.
The problem was introduced when I updated my driver jars from version 11.2.0.3 to 11.2.0.4.
Use the Oracle 11.2.0.3 jars, and the alias properties should work again.

Oracle Data Modeler Scripts Stopped Working

The scripts in newer Oracle Data Modeler seems to have stopped working. Even though the Oracle Nashorn is selected as the Scripting engine, it's not working with the newer version of data modeler. Not sure what settings needs to be enabled for the scripting to work?
This is for version 21.4.1, the one which was release in December - 2021.
I have the same issue with Oracle Data Modeler 21.4.1.349
OS host is Oracle Linux 7
JDK is 1.8.251
After updating version of Data Modeler I got error message after try run of Design Rules "Oracle Nashorn scripting engine does not exist. Script evaluation is terminated.".

ODBC Teradata SQL Tool for OS X

TLDR; best Mac SQL Query solution for ODBC Teradata version 14 with some instructions on how to set it up.
Using ODBC version 14.x and Teradata DB version 14.x
Currently, running on a Windows 7 machine using Teradata SQL Assistant, though I am switching to a Mac and so far am unable to get OS X ODBC Management tool to function for my testing, nor could I get the download for the JE of SQL Assistant, as the site 404s. I tried Teradata Studio Express but it's not connecting to ODBC(it's using JDBC) and from what I am reading on the Teradata forums, there is no ODBC driver for Studio Express... with the SQL Assistant JE not available for download, I'm a lost on how I could be querying our Teradata Databases for testing on my Mac.
Others have suggested anything from Excel to Eclipse should work for SQL querying as long as I have the ODBC driver installed (i seem to), I made sure it was even version 14 as well as trying 15.
No dice... I think I am just too newb at this to figure it out without some guidance.
Thanks and if this post is not articulate enough kindly let me know what details I am leaving out and I can add them.
Thank you all so much!
Teradata Studio and Studio Express are the eventual replacement for SQL Assistant providing a cross platform IDE for Teradata professionals. Using it on your Mac should cause you no trouble other than the paradigm shift from using SQL Assistant to an Eclipse-based IDE.

What version of Oracle SQL Developer do I need to use to connect to Oracle 8i?

Our production application uses Oracle 8i with an embedded license. We do not have control over it so updating our Oracle version is not possible.
What version of Oracle SQL Developer would I need to use to connect to our Oracle 8i database?
The latest versions obviously do not work as Oracle 8i is not supported. What version would I need to use so that it allows me to connect?
A similar thread on OraFAQ has the following suggestion which seems promising as I too think it depends on the JDBC driver version. The suggestion is :
SQL Developer version 1.2.1 is able to connect to 8.1.7 with limited
functionality (prepared reports and browser for objects could not
work)..
Next version (tested with 3.2 64-bit) of SQL developer could be
"hacked" to connect to 8.1.7 by simply copy file
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\jdbc\lib\classes12.zip from Oracle
client prior 11 into appropriate jdk\jre\lib\ext folder.

I use SqlDeveloper 1.5.5 for my Oracle Database 8.
But if the Table list is empty use SqlDeveloper 1.2.1

Impala jdbc driver work with Pentaho Designer

I have some trouble to get impala jdbc driver working with Pentaho Designer.
I got the jdbc driver from cloudera website. After extracting the drivers and put them under lib/jdbc, I set up connection via Generic Database.
The custom connection url is: jdbc:hive2://example.com:21050/;auth=noSasl
The custom driver class name is: org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver
I tried a simple query like "SELECT count(*) FROM table_1;", and got an error: "ParentException:
java.sql.SQLException: Method not supported"
Any ideas?
Matt from Pentaho submitted pull request to apache repository on github: https://github.com/apache/hive/pull/9
This pull request contains implementation of all needed methods in JDBC driver for Pentaho tools. I fetched his commit, built jar and copied it into libext/JDBC directory instead of jar from Cloudera website. Driver still misses lot of methods, but is able to perform basic operations on Impala.
Pentaho does not support impala in previous versions. If you are using 4.4.2 PDI,you can use it for instaview.
Impala will be officially support in pentaho 5.0 and its already been released.

ODP.NET: AccessViolationException when trying to open connection

I am trying to learn ODP.NET, and have built a simple example based on Oracle's Getting Started example. However, whenever my code hits the conn.Open() statement, it immediately crashes with an AccessViolationException. I am on a 64-bit OS, but running 32-bit versions of the Oracle 11g Client and ODAC. My code is identical to Oracle's example, other than it connecting to a different test database.
Is there something simple I'm missing here?
Not exactly sure what was wrong, but I fixed it by manually removing Oracle using the guide here and reinstalling Oracle client and the ODAC client, and putting ODAC in a separate install directory. My best guess is that I had some residual problems in the registry from an older version of the Oracle client.
