    <p>I am running a non-english Windows 7 system, and apparently Oracle SQL Developer (version 3.0.04.34, 64-bit) tries to auto-guess my preferred language based on the OS. Is there any way to change the language to english?</p> <p>I've tried the tip found at <a href="http://misteratmisis.com/infotech/how-change-oracle-sql-developer-interface-japanese-english">http://misteratmisis.com/infotech/how-change-oracle-sql-developer-interface-japanese-english</a>, namely adding the VM options</p> <pre> AddVMOption -Duser.language=en AddVMOption -Duser.country=US </pre> <p>to file ide.conf in directory</p> <pre> /ide/bin </pre> <p>within the SQL Developer installation directory, as suggested, but that didn't help.</p> <p><strong>Solution (edited on 13.09.2012):</strong></p> <p>I decided to try again the solution proposed by Alex K. and this time it worked, namely adding</p> <pre><code>AddVMOption -Duser.language=en </code></pre> <p>to the file <code>sqldeveloper.conf</code> file located in <code>sqldeveloper\bin\</code> folder. I presume that it did work now but not before, because meanwhile I have changed my UAC (user access control) settings in Windows 7 so that I am administrator by default. What happened before was probably that even though the changes appeared to be there, the configuration file read by the program was another one (shadow copy).</p> <p><strong>Solution for Mac OS X (added on 26.02.2016):</strong></p> <p>Edit file at</p> <p><code>/Applications/SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/Resources/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.conf</code> </p> <p>and add the line</p> <pre><code>AddVMOption -Duser.language=en </code></pre> <p>(Tested with SQL Developer 4.1.3.20)</p>

    1. COApparently somebody voted to close this as off-topic. I considered briefly asking this at superuser.com, but as Oracle SQL Developer is a tool primarily used by developers I think this question is most relevant here. As stated in SO FAQ, questions about "software tools commonly used by programmers" should be welcome on SO, so I can't imagine this question being off-topic. However, if this question could be improved I welcome any suggestions.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
