ERROR MESSAGE: You are not allowed to use PL/SQL Developer on this Database

[Paul Yarl]

Each time I attempt to connect to one of our test database, I get the message "You are not allowed to use PL/SQL Developer on this database"

My PL/SQL Developer version is 6.0.1.848
I can connect to the same database with the SQL Navigator 4 tool.

I'm consistently getting this error message and don't know what to do to proceed. Do I need to send a request to my DBA? If so, what am I requesting?

Any information will be appreciated.

Thanks!
Paul

Sorry but this link did not help. I'm not using the beta version and I don't see any pl/sql dev tables on the database. I'm not a dba and my dba does not know this tool. How do I connect to the database as a system? Is this something that my dba knows?

Thanks.

I had to talk to my DBA to use the tool and connect the tool to the dababase using the SYS login. He dropped the SYS.PLSQLDEV_AUTHORIZATION table.

That did it. This can close.

We have made the messages a bit more explicit in 6.0.2, so that this confusion is less likely to occur.
