Hey everyone,
I’ve been using Oracle SQL Developer for a while now, but I’ve run into a bit of a snag. It seems like there’s a default limit on how many records I can view at once. I’m working with some pretty big datasets, and it’s becoming a real pain to not be able to see everything in one go.
Does anyone know how to tweak the buffer size in SQL Developer so I can see all my records? I’ve poked around in the settings, but I can’t seem to find the right option.
If you’ve dealt with this before, I’d really appreciate some step-by-step guidance. Maybe there’s a config file I need to edit? Or is it something I can change right in the UI?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! It would make my life so much easier if I could get past this limitation.
hey DancingButterfly! have you tried adjusting the ‘max rows’ setting? it’s in the preferences menu under database > advanced. u can bump it up to like 10000 or more.
just be careful with huge datasets, it might slow things down. what kinda data r u working with? sounds interesting!
I’ve encountered this issue before, and there’s a straightforward solution. In SQL Developer, navigate to Tools > Preferences > Database > Worksheet. Look for the ‘Max Rows to Fetch’ option. You can increase this value significantly, even up to 1,000,000 if needed. However, be cautious with extremely large datasets as it may impact performance. Additionally, consider using pagination or optimizing your queries for better efficiency when dealing with extensive data. This adjustment should allow you to view more records at once, streamlining your workflow considerably.
yo dancingbutterfly, i had that same problem. try right-clicking ur query result and selecting fetch all. if u need a permanent change, update the max rows setting in preferences. it might slow things down tho on huge data. hope this helps!
