How to configure sql developer with oracle 12c?

Question

I'm trying to connect sql developer to a fresh installation of oracle:

I can connect to sys user via sqlplus I can connect to sys user via sql developer when I select Connection Type "Local\Bequeath". But I guess it didn't been connected to the PDB, just to the container.

I've created user called demo with following command:

alter session set container=pdborcl;
create user demo identified by password QUOTA unlimited on users account unlock; 

I'm trying to connect to the DB with username and password like I did in oracle 11g. To user: sys as sysdba, And to the new created user demo.

I don't care about pdb, but as I understood there is no other option in oracle 12c...

I've tried to set entry called PDBORCL in the tnsnames.ora, I've also have tried to use service name PDBORCL. as I saw in some manual on the internet, but it didn't worked for me.

I'm getting the following errors:

ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor

Again, I used a default installation of oracle 12c, except setting passwords and select server type, I didn't changed much.

What I'm looking is a simple "todo list" to configure connection in the sql developer, to connect, even from a remote machine, to oracle 12c DB.

BTW: (if its matter)

1. I have 2 versions of sql developer: 4.1.2.20, and the original from instalation: 3.2.20.10.

2. I'm currently working on windows server 2008 OS.

Thanks,

I've tried to use service name CLRExtProc. Now I have the following error:

EDIT: Full Solution

This is how it works:

1. Install a fresh copy of oracle 12c (i did a desktop installation).
2. Changes in the listener.ora:
   • in the SID_LIST_LISTENER I added the following section: (SID_DESC =(SID_NAME = pdborcl)(ORACLE_HOME = C:\app\oracle\product12円.1.0\dbhome_1))
   • in the LISTENER instead of HOST=127.0.0.1, I set it to HOST=0.0.0.0
3. restart oracle listener service.

now in the sql developer:

login as sys user:

Username: sys
Password: ****
Connection type: Basic, Role: SYSDBA
Hostname: localhost
Port: 1521
SID: orcl

Now check if pdb is up:

SQL> select name, open_mode from v$pdbs where name='PDBORCL';

If it is in mounted mode then,

SQL> alter pluggable database pdborcl open;

Create the user + grant permissions:

alter session set container=pdborcl;
create user demo identified by password QUOTA unlimited on users account unlock;
grant create session to demo;
grant create table to demo;

Connect as demo user in sql developer:

Username: demo
Password: ****
Connection type: Basic, Role: default
Hostname: localhost
Port: 1521
Service name: pdborcl

And, again, Thanks to JSapkota.

Now I'm trying to figure the sqlplus and instant client connection strings to pdbs...

• SHR: I added detailed, step by step, solution. Look in the EDIT: Full Solution at the bottom.

Answer 1

First of all check whether your pluggable database is opened or not.

SQL> select name, open_mode from v$pdbs where name='PDBORCL';

If it is in mounted mode then,

SQL> alter pluggable database pdborcl open;

Now on SQL Developer Create new connection as,

Connection Name: demo-pdborcl

Username: demo

Password: *****

Connection Type: Basic(If you wish to use TNS connection type you have to create TNS Network Alias in client side.)

Hostname: ip/dns

Port: 1521

SID: (If you use SID like 'ORCL' you will be connected to root container, therefore use Service name instead of SID)

Service name: (You can get your pdb's service name by firing $ lsnrctl serivce, also you can use USE_SID_AS_SERVICE_listener parameter on $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listner.ora file as USE_SID_AS_SERVICE_listener=on and any given SID will be treated as service name.

• SHR: Thanks again, can you please see the Edit in the end of my question and tell me if you see a problem?
• atokpas: Have you set the local_listener parameter? I got that updated error because that's not the service which connects to you the pdb.
• SHR: I guess not. How can I do it?
• SHR: I get ORA-02097: parameter cannot be modified because because specified value is invalid. .... ORA-00132: syntax error or unresolved network name 'LISTENER' .
• SHR: Reinstalled the server and change ip in the listener to any, and reopen pdborcl and now it works.
