Hi!
I have just installed the latest version of Oracle 12c and the latest SQL Developer (4.0.0.12). I have also JDK 7u25 installed. I run everything on Windows 7 64bit. When I create a local connection in SQL Developer and test or try to connect I get the error: no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path
If I try the exact same thing in SQL Developer 3.2.2 (the one bundled with the latest Oracle 12c) it works fine. In both versions of SQL Developer I have done no configuration and all the settings are the defaults.
I have read all the posts that relate to this error message, but they are all based on older versions or other platforms.
Is there a problem in the default configuration of SQL Developer 4 or a compatibility problem with Oracle 12c? Any ideas of how to fix this?
When I compare the properties of the two versions of SQL Developer I see that most of them are identical, but the java.library.path points to the sqldeveloper/bin directory in v4 and to the sqldeveloper root folder in v3. I don't know if that is significant.
Also the setting "Use OCI/Thick Driver" under "Database: Advanced" is unchecked, so it seems strange that it tries to use it anyway.
