Database dropdown empty in SQL Commander

When I connect to MSSQL server (via sqljdbc or jTDS) I can see all the databases, and all their tables, views, etc however in the SQL Commander the database dropdown only lists master. If I use the following query, it works: USE mydb; SELECT * FROM mytable

Hi, Are you sure that the Database Connection list selection in the SQL Commander matches the connection you are looking at in the tree? If so, please open Tools->Debug Window and enable debugging for DbVisualizer. Then connect to the database and open an SQL Commander tab and include the debug output in your reply. Best Regards, Hans

The database connection selection is the same as the tree I am looking at. I have enabled the debug and captured the information: 2015-11-12 08:43:13.685 FINE 160 [ExecutorRunner-pool-2-thread-26 - I.ￄﾷ] Connecting root connection for: MSSQL Dev *** Database Properties **************************** Alias: MSSQL Dev Settings Format: Server Info URL: jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://devmachine:1433 Driver: SQL Server (jTDS) Userid: sa Preferred Database Type: sqlserver Current Database Type: sqlserver Preferred Profile: auto Current Profile: null (not connected?) --- Object Type Settings --------------------------- None --- Overridden User Properties --------------------- sqlserver.ConnectionModeMigrated = true sqlserver.SQLCommanderMostRecentCatalog = migratedb sqlserver.SQLCommanderMostRecentSchema = dbo --- Overridden Driver Properties ------------------- None *** End Database Properties ************************ *** Driver Information ***************************** Name: SQL Server (jTDS) DefaultDriver: true DefaultClass: net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver Paths: Path: /Applications/DbVisualizer.app/Contents/java/app/jdbc/jtds/jtds.jar Type: dynamic Class: net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver *** End Driver Information ************************* *** Current Connection Message ********************* Connecting.

Do you use two different queries to show the database the user has access to? If you can share those queries I can run them and get back to the results. This may not be a DbVisualizer error, and more of some roles/privileges/access issue with my databases

The SQL Commander list uses the values cached at connect, so there is only one way they are retrieved. For SQL Server, they are retrieved using the JDBC DatabaseMetaData#getCatalogs() method. The log shows that it caches 20 database/catalog names, so I'm stumped as to why you don't see them in the SQL Commander. Do you have the SQL Commander open when you connect/expand the tree or do you open a new SQL Commander tab after you are connected? What happens if you select another connection in the Database Connection list and then select the original one again? If you can share a screencast or screenshots, maybe we can figure this out. Also, make sure you are using the latest DbVisualizer version, 9.2.12 as of now. Use Help->Check for Update to upgrade or ensure you are using the latest version. Best Regards, Hans

I did a test application in java and JDBC, and can confirm that JDBC DatabaseMetaData#getCatalogs() does return the correct number of databases, which I can see in the tree on the left side of DBViz. Attached are some screenshots which you have requested, for MS-SQL server I use the username 'sa' to connect to the server: *01* This shows that I have the updated version of DBViz *02* This shows that I made a connection to MySQL server, and it correctly displays the database list under the tree and the SQL commander *03* This shows that I made a connection to a MS-SQL server (the one with the problem), and though the tree shows the correct list of databases, the SQL commander only shows master database *04* This shows that I made a connection to a MS-SQL server (the one without any problem), and the tree and SQL commander both show the correct databases. The problem is only with one instance of SQL server. All was working fine until one day I made some changes at the server which caused this problem. All the databases on this server are either restored from another server or attached from other servers. I had some problems in attaching the database (some file permissions for the data files under windows), I changed owners of the files to the local user. I am pretty sure there is some problem in my database, even though I can connect, run queries, and do all the stuff, only DBViz is not showing the database list under SQL Commander. If I use the USE dbname query, then DBViz adds the dbname to the list, and if I open more SQL Commanders all of them will have that dbname in the list. When I close all the SQL Commanders then, I only see master in the list. Another scenario, no SQL commander is open: 1. Open SQL Commander (1: untitled) 2. USE dbname1 3. (1: untitled) tab database list has master and dbname1 in the list) 4. Open another SQL Commander (2: untitled) 5. USE dbname2 6. (2: untitled) tab database list has master, dbname1 and dbname2 in the list) 7. Select (1: untitled) tab 8. Open a new SQL Commander (3: untitled) 9. (3: untitled) tab database list has master and dbname1 in the list) 10. Select (2: untitled) tab 11. Open a new SQL Commander (4: untitled) 12. (4: untitled) tab database list has master and dbname2 in the list) 13. Select (2: untitled) tab 14. Select dbname1 from the database list 15. Open a new SQL Commander (5: untitled) 16. (5: untitled) tab database list has master and dbname1 in the list)

Hi, Thanks for the additional info. I believe there's something odd going on with filters for this connection. Connect to the database and select the connection node. Then click on the Filter menu icon in the Databases tab toolbar and select Disable Filtering. Reconnect and then open an SQL Commander tab. Does it now list all databases in the drop-down? Best Regards, Hans

I tried your suggestion and successfully the commander lists down all the databases, thanks for the help. Next thing I tried was enabling filter again (even though I have not defined any filters) and reconnect, still commander is showing the correct databases. So I have no idea what happened at the backend :) I will keep any eye out if this problem pops up again.

Hi, Great to hear that it solved the problem. I also cannot explain what happened, but some filter setting was likely corrupted. Best Regards, Hans
