When i open oracle-sqldeveloper for it is asking for full pathname for java.exe. This is an issue with the missing JDK.
Apr 25, 2017. Files java jdk1.8.0_31. I get the following error messages. I solved it by copying the MSVCR100.dll file from sqldeveloper jdk jre bin to the. 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. Then just open SQL Developer again.
SQL Developer cannot run only with JRE, it needs JDK for the debugger to work, something related to Java Debug Wire Protocol. I think from SQL Developer version 4 onwards, the JDK is embedded with the installation software. So, if you have downloaded the version 4 or up, you should be able to run it without additional installation of JDK, if prompted then provide the path to the embedded jdk. Else, if your SQL Developer version is below 4, then you need to additionally download the jdk. See this download. The SQL Developer configuration file would be present at: $ORACLEHOME/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.conf.
