I've just made the switch from MS sql server to Oracle. The query tool I am using is Oracle SQL Developer. The problem I am having is that I cannot get the query results window to stick around. The query results window being the Grid view for the results. It seems to show up arbitrarily when I open a new "sql worksheet". But not always. Then once I run a query, it disappears the next time I run one.

Can anyone point me to a consistent way to leave this results grid active? Thanks so much.

ok guys. figured it out. I was hitting F5 (as in MSSQL query analyzer) to run the query. That is "run script" in this client. F9 or ctrl-enter get me to the query results grid view. Hopefully this helps someone else in the future.

Yeah, now that sounds familiar (I think I've done that once or twice, but so long ago...). And in some tools it's F8. I think it's possible to remap that if you want to be consistent with other tools.

Thanks! Also digging into Oracle, this SQL developer makes this a lot easier than Toad. Man that thing has so many buttons it makes my head hurt!
