hi

You can try and 'repair' your Oracle client installation from 'Programs and Features' if you like.

here are available oracle in my programs , which one i have to select for repair ?

by the way , if i choose the other option , installing the latest version , how i can save the connections properties from the old one , because i forget the passwords for some connections , im worry if i fail to connect to it in the new version

>> which one i have to select for repair
I suppose the JRockit ones although I don't see why there is no Oracle client in your list.

>>  i forget the passwords for some connections
You should remember then, store them in a password management tool. You can look up the password in each connection.

>> installing the latest version , how i can save the connections properties
Installing a new version offers to import the existing settings from the older version. The .ZIP file in the download you can just unzip in a folder and run it from there.

I would save your passwords (in case you forget them) and download the .ZIP file and run SQL Developer from the unzipped location.

You don't have to worry about uninstall it. follow Gerwin Jansens' steps.

i downloaded the newset version of sql , when i unzip it and try to run it , it sent me this message

then You have to update Java Version. I have java version "1.7.0_60". Simply update to latest 1.7 version.

do you have the link to update it ?

>> i downloaded the newset version of sql
I think you mean SQL Developer, right? Which one did you download?

This version: "Windows 64-bit - zip file includes the JDK 7" - has the correct JDK7 bundled, so you should not get a question about that. The other ones have installation instructions, did you follow them?

You can update your JDK7 here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase7-521261.html

right

The other ones have installation instructions, did you follow them?

actually no , due to my lack level in english i found it is difficult

You can update your JDK7 here

i found alot of downloded links , i fail to know which one i have to select
my windows is xp , 32 bit

You need the last one:

But: since you are still using WindowsXP - you know that it is not supported? Better upgrade to Windows 7 or 8.

have you got message box asking Java.exe path, you should give correct path to new version Java.exe.
if you are not getting that box anymore. delete new SQL Developer folder and extract again from downloaded archive.

ok
please give me chance to upgrade to win 7
thanx

yes , it is ok now
thanx
