  1. The OCI client library version should match the server version exactly. If the server is v11.0.2.3 then the OCI driver must be for v11.0.2.3. The user should copy the matched, version-specific jdbc drivers .jar file(s) from oracle client installation to ADS_HOME/drivers/lib  (for more on how to do this, see our Drivers page).
  2. The environment variable TNS_ADMIN should be configured to the directory containing tnsnames.ora file.

Filter Examples:

If your intention is to show only the tables that start with XXPKD, then you'll need to change your main filter to "Exclude All", and secondary filter to "+XXPKD*". Note the "+" in front of the XXPKD pattern. Also, note that the filter pattern is case-sensitive.

Image Modified

The filter shown below is set to exclude all databases except those that start with "aq". This is similar to the above example where all schemas, except the XXPKD schema, are excluded. Then, there is an "Object Folder" filter on the Tables folder, which excludes everything except those that start with "forum".

...

In order to determine which Schemas should be displayed in the Schema Tree, select "Filter Schemas: Exclude All" and enter only the list of schemas you want to see under "Include Filter Schemas".

On the other hand, if you want to exclude schemas from the Schema Tree, select  "Filter Schemas: Include All" and enter the list of schemas under "Exclude Filter Schemas". This will prevent them from loading during connection process.

To further improve the connection performance you need to enable the following options in the Advanced Tab by checking the boxes next to the option:

  1. Enable DB Filters for Query Window
  2. Enable DB Filters for the Schema Queries

Image Modified

Checking thebox next to "Enable DB Filters for Query Window" option enables the schema filter configuration and applies it to the Query Analyzer window schema drop-down.

Image Modified

Checking the box next to "Enable DB Filters for the Schema Queries" option enables the schema filter configuration and applies it to the WHERE clause of the query that extracts the list of schemas from the database.
