Why Isn't Oracle SQL Developer Visible in the Software List in the Control Panel Windows 10

Tee BirdNov 18 2024

I need to find out why oracle sql developer does not appear in the Software and Features list in Control panel

I have been running oracle sql developer every day for two years on Windows 10 laptop. Runs great

I just noticed there is no sign of this software in the Windows Programs and Features panel in control panel.

I imagined the reason was I installed oracle sql developer in a cockeyed way. So I wanted to install it again, hopefully the right way. The instructions I found and followed are:

  1. Download the “SQL Developer with JDK” zip file for Windows from the Oracle website. I downloaded Oracle SQL Developer from https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/java/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper-24.3.0.284.2209-x64.zip
  2. Extracted the zip file to a directory on your computer (e.g., C:\Program Files\Oracle\SQL Developer). That folder did not exist, so I created it and put the extracted files in there.
  3. Opened the extracted sqldeveloper folder and ran the sqldeveloper.exe file.
  4. Follow the installation prompts to complete the installation. The only prompt I received was a question of whether I wanted to import preferences from previously installed version of the program. I clicked yes.

The new version of Oracle SQL Developer is now running on my windows 10 laptop. Looks perfect

Still no sign of any oracle software in the Programs and features panel.

Does instant client have anything to do with this?

I appreciate any information you can provide to help explain what is going on.

Your ENTRA users will get authenticated via JSON Web Tokens, and their Entra roles will determine which ORDS REST APIs they can hit.

When they hit an endpoint, it'll execute code in the database as the database user that owns the schema where the REST API is defined, not as Entra defiend end user. In fact, the Entra users won't have accounts in the database (they could, but wont' need to).

The :current_user field as far as ords is concerned would be the corresponding oauth2 client or JWT issued for the authorizied session.

Your prehook should be able to alter the session to set the context that would put your RLS/VPD security policy in play.
