Os X Base System Grayed Out 2017 Driver Is Available

In the user guide it mentions that the option will only be available if the OCI THICK driver is available.

Ive also seen that Sue mentioned that you dont have to select the OCITHICK option.

How do I know if I have the OCI THICK driver and if it is available for SQL Developer.

Os X Base System Grayed Out 2017 Password Change Dialog

Dont understand how difficult it would be to rather build in a button in the tool and when pressed, invoke this command to bring up the password change dialog box.:).

The first use case is when your password has aged out and you are thus locked out of the database.

In this case, you cannot connect to the database to change your password.

However, the OCI (Thick) driver provides a means for performing a reset of your password.

This is the service we provide via the context menu on a connection, and this is what requires the presence of the OCI driver.

If the OCI driver isnt available, then the menu item is disabled.

This is actually quite straightforward - the ALTER USER SQL statement will take care of this for you.

However, maybe you dont want your password typed in the clear in the worksheet (and possibly saved off to your command history).

The password command will bring up a dialog to prompt you for your old password and new password, and then execute the SQL for you.

Either one of these ways of changing your password makes sense on its own.

However, after seeing this raised, it seems clear to me that taken in combination, its confusing.

It seems to me the Reset Password context menu item should always be enabled on open connections - if we can offer the ability to change your password through the worksheet, there is no reason why we cant support that via the context menu on the connection.

On a closed connection, the menu item should probably also be enabled, but should report an error if the OCI driver isnt available.

As it stands now, the disabled menu item is a bit mysterious.

Anyway, thats something well try to clarify in a future release.

For now, you can change your password for a connection via the password command in the worksheet, as long as the account isnt locked.

Should you need to reset the password of a locked account, you will need a client install so that the OCI driver can be used.
