SQL Developer not showing tables


So, I'm kinda new to SQL Developer, but I always heard a lot about it and how it was good. The thing is, my SQL Developer never showed my tables, nor had a "Tables" tab. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but, I've searched everywhere and, wherever I search they simply show that SQL Developer automatically generate the "Tables" tab when you connect. This never happened to me.

One more question, all of a sudden, my SQL Developer toolbars changed and the old ones simply vanished. And, when I say "all of a sudden" I mean it. I closed it and, when I opened, it changed. Also, the buttons doesn't work, none of them.

Solution

  • You're looking at the DBA view. You probably want to be looking at the Connections view. Go to View and choose "Connections". That will bring up the window that contains the tree view that lets you navigate to different object types (like tables) rather than the tree view that lets you navigate to different DBA tasks.
