在SQL Developer中显示数据库链接的数据库中的表

Question

I have a normal Oracle schema where I can see all the tables and if you click on one, it pops up a new tab with the contents in it, perfect.

I also have a Database that is connected via DbLink, and I can see all the tables when I execute a query:

SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM ALL_TABLES@TARGET_DB;

However, I would like this list from the above query to show up similarly how tables are displayed under the schema of a normal database. Is this possible with SQL Developer ?

Answer 1

By "pop up", if you are talking about "completion insight" property of the SQL developer code editor, I am pretty sure the vanilla SQL developer doesn't provide the completion insight for remote tables queried using dblinks (Not atleast the version 3).

I don't think the devs would bother to add this feature, as it would simply make the code editor work more and give a sluggish end user experience for the developer. Think about all the extra parsing work and network delays before the code completion popup appears.

Update based on your comment: It looks like you want to add a new connection. To add a new connection,

1. Right click on the "Connections" in the left pane and select "New Connection"
2. Fill in the DB details (credentials, hostname,port,etc.,) in the resulting form

PS: This should belong in superuser.
