SQL Developer installation in Windows 10

By -

 Quick suggestion for getting the SQL Developer to work in Windows 10:

  1. Get the SQL Developer (with JRE) edition. I got bad experience when getting SQL Developer to work with my own JDK 1.8 installation in Windows 10. No matter where I copy the MSVCR100.DLL (It always said JAVA_HOME\jre\bin\msvcr100.dll cannot be launched, crazy). So, just get the "with JRE" version.

  2. The font size are crazily small on a high DPI screen. So get a larger font, right-click on the "sqldeveloper.exe", choose "Compatibility > Change high DPI settings > High DPI scaling override > System (Enhanced)"

Java encoding : UTF-8, Big5, x-MS950-HKSCS

Suppose you got a file in Big5 containing some HKSCS characters (e.g. 深水埗, 赤鱲角, etc). When your environment (Ref: Charset.defaultCharset( ) ) is either UTF-8 / Big5, you will never get the things work. The proper encoding should be "x-MS950-HKSCS" This situation happens when I'm try the same pieces of code in Java console / Eclipse console and JSP @ Tomcat. While JSP works fine, but sucks in console mode. Finally I found the JSP is actually using encoding "x-MS950-HKSCS". To set environment charset in Eclipse: Right click on the file that you are going to execute (e.g. Testing.java), then "Properties" → "Run/Debug Settings" → "Common" → "Encoding". Type "x-MS950-HKSCS" in the field. What a pity!
