SQL Developer
Tested with SQLDeveloper 4.0 on Kubuntu 14.10.
- Download latest tarball from Oracle.
- Unpack under a suited place, I recommend /opt.
- Run with $INSTALL_DIR/sqldeveloper.sh
To make a desktop-shortcut:
-
Add a file “sqldeveloper.desktop” under
~/.local/share/applications/with the following contents:[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Name=Oracle SQL Developer Icon=/opt/sqldeveloper/icon.png Exec=/opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh Comment=Oracle SQL Developer Categories=Development;IDE; Terminal=true StartupNotify=true StartupWMClass=sqldeveloper
- Run it (e.g. double-click it in your file-browser).
- A terminal-window should pop up prompting you to enter the path to a java installation.
This will be added to
~/.sqldeveloper/4.0.0/product.conf - Edit the desktop-file and change Terminal to false to prevent the terminal to pop up every time you start SqlDeveloper.
