I dont think thats directly possible but they can pick tables from the Object Navigator ? No ? I am so much spoilt by the ease-of-use of TOAD, I find SQLDeveloper far behind in terms easy usability. But of late 8.1.0.36 and above of TOAD, I am getting really short-fused on numerous AVs, bugs, some 600s even. I am slowly but surely getting used to SQLDeveloper which has not once crashed on me yet. Thanks and have a good day.

I like the query builder, but I can see only my tables. That's fine for me, but I have several people with read only accounts who need to build queries for tables belonging to application schema. Is there currently a way to make this happen in SQL Developer? Sandy
