This seems to be similar to Issue 100025, which is closed. When using Oracle JDBC, using the ojdbc14.jar driver, oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver driver, I can't browse the tables in the Netbeans Services window. I am able to connect to the database and run queries if I know the table names, but I can't browse them.
Can you try this with the latest NetBeans 6.1 nightly build (see http://bits.netbeans.org/download/trunk/nightly/latest/) and see if this is still an issue? I made some changes that I think should have fixed this issue.
Marking as incomplete, waiting to hear if latest 6.1 fixes the problem.
The 6.1 nightly build didn't seem to change anything for me, but I did discover the problem. I found that I need to not accept the default schema (my username), but instead use the name of the owner of the table. When I made that change, the tables are shown. The 'Grab Structure' and 'Properties' links return DatabaseException: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges. I would like to see a feature similar to the MyEclipse Database Explorer 'Generate DDL' so I can get specific information about constraints, comments, etc. I don't see a way to do that in NetBeans, but that isn't really a defect.
Thanks, munseym. Yes, generate DDL is on our list of things to do, I *hope* to get to it in the next release, but it's definitely on our radar.
