JDeveloper Group By Insight Preference
During Oracle OpenWorld a customer asked how to turn off the autogenerate of GROUP BY clause when using JDeveloper. SQL Developer has a preference But JDeveloper is missing this preference, and it is turned on by default. This will be rectified in a future realese of JDeveloper but in the mean time there is a workaround. 1) Close JDeveloper. 2) Open JDevelopers product-preferences.xml file. This can be found under c:\Users\ \AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\ \o.jdeveloper\ on windows 7. Or in the usual place applications persist preferences in your OS. 3)Add the following after the ide tag. <hash n="DBConfig"> <value n="AUTOGENERATEGROUPBY" v="false"/> <hash n="EXTENSION"/> <value n="INDENT_CACHE_NUMBER" v="2"/> <value n="INDENT_CACHE_USE_TAB" v="false"/> </hash> . 4) Restart JDeveloper, and Autogenerate GROUP BY should not turned off.
