Sql Developer Download For Java 18

My answer did answer the question about 'What Java download should I install for SQL Developer', and the author described how did he applied my solution, downloading the Java version I recommend from the link. Just doing that and pointing to the new installed java.exe file from JRE1.6 installation made SQL Developer works. Oracle SQL Developer Installation Guide, Release 18.3. Reader and Java Access Bridge with SQL Developer 1-10. That you plan to download SQL Developer and run it.

Hi there
recently I have download for Oracle Database for Windows-32 bit.And I am using Windows 64.
When i click on sqldeveloperW.exe then it will show an error that 'Unable to find Java Virtual Machine.To point to a location of Java Virtual Machine ...'
Is there any way that this thing can sort out Or I need to download Its 64 bit version?
Thanks

I don't think this a 32 vs 64 bit issue. I'm sure you can use 32-bit DB on 64-bit OS.
When SQL Developer prompt for that java thing, browse to the 'java.exe' in the JDK folder. The runtime's java.exe would not work.
If your computer doesn't have the JDK then install it.

But Now it is not asking any prompt.
How can i manually configure this to work?
Any file edit?

Reinstall it? If the prompt is gone, does that mean you are able to use it (eg connect to DB etc)?

Go to the directory where you've installed your sqldeveloper client.
Go to the bin folder and in the bin folder go to the sqldeveloper.conf file and edit it.
Add the path to JavaHome in that file.
The file I have on my laptop looks like this--

IncludeConfFile ../../ide/bin/ide.conf
AddVMOption -Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true
AddVMOption -Dcom.apple.mrj.application.apple.menu.about.name='SQL_Developer'
AddVMOption -Dcom.apple.mrj.application.growbox.intrudes=false
AddVMOption -Dcom.apple.macos.smallTabs=true
AddVMOption -Doracle.ide.util.AddinPolicyUtils.OVERRIDE_FLAG=true
AddVMOption -Dsun.java2d.ddoffscreen=false
AddVMOption -Dwindows.shell.font.languages=
AddVMOption -XX:MaxPermSize=128M
IncludeConfFile sqldeveloper-nondebug.conf
SetJavaHome C:Program Files (x86)Javajdk1.6.0_45


You need to add the path of where you have installed the JDK for the 32 bit Windows. And see if it works.

But I have Install 64 bit on my Windows 64 Bit OS.
Will 32 bit will not work on 64 bit system?

I am not too sure. You can try giving the path of the 64 bit JDK directory and see if it works.
For me it didn't work but the IT admin guy at my workplace said I've got to install the 32 bit JDK and give the path of that in the conf file.
I also have a 64 bit OS.
After I did that, the sql developer client started working for me.
I don't know the root cause of the issue. I guess my fix is a workaround that worked on my machine. I am not even sure you have the same issue.

Oh yes, download the JRE6 also for a 32 bit installation and give that path when prompted to locate the Java.exe.
I put the jre6 in the following directory.
Program Files(x86)/Java
Let us know if it worked.

This page has a discussion on a similar issue. Perhaps you might want to go through it.

I know of only this workaround. Sorry.
If it doesn't work then you might want to reinstall the Oracle db and then give the correct path when prompted for them.

Actually that is wrong. If you installed the JDK like I said, and not the SDK, then you have the JRE already. You don't need to install it again.
I didn't realize that while I was fixing this issue on my machine, I had first installed only the JRE cause the error said Java.exe was needed and I was talking about JDK all the time, not SDK.
So if after installing the JDK for a 32 bit installation and setting the Java home path in the conf file, it is still not working, manual property change that worked for me isn't working for you.
Sorry.


Windows Installation Notes


There are two downloads available for Windows users.

  1. Windows 64-bit with JDK 8 Included: This archive includes both SQL Developer and an embedded copy of the Java 8 Development Kit (JDK). Simply extract the zip to a fresh directory and run the sqldeveloper.exe in the top directory. The EXE is configured to run the embedded JDK by default.
    Note: the Windows EXE requires a MSVCR100.dll to run. Most computers will already have this file and in the Windows PATH. However, if the first copy of the file found by the EXE is a 32-bit copy of the DLL, then SQL Developer will fail to start. You can fix this by copying a 64-bit version of the DLL into the BIN directory or updating your OS PATH such that a 64 bit copy of the DLL is found first.
  2. Windows 32-bit/64-bit: This archive. will work on a 32 or 64 bit Windows OS. The bit level of the JDK you install will determine if it runs as a 32 or 64 bit application. This download does not include the required Oracle Java JDK. You will need to install it if it's not already on your machine.


If SQL Developer cannot find Java on your machine, it will prompt you for the path for a JDK home. This only occurs the first time you launch SQL Developer. A valid Java Home on Windows will be similar to
C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_181
