Recover unsaved SQL query Scripts in Oracle SQL Developer

This has saved my butt several times.

It is really a problem when you lose unsaved code. For about a
month I have been working on a big procedure, and forgot to save the
code in SVN. If you read this and remember have such unsaved code,
commit it immediately! 🙂 Because everything could happen with your
test db. Ok. you’re lucky if you were using Oracle SQL Developer,
because this program has a great feature – it saves your code in its
sql history inspite of eating a big party of your RAM. Open your file
explorer and locate this folder:

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\SqlHistory

You’ll find a lot of XML files, and if you’re twice lucky, you’ll find
your lost code. It’s wonderful. 🙂 . If you’re using another program,
try to find a feature like this and maybe it helps you. My condolences
if this post doesn’t help you, in any case, try to find something good
among the next: 1) write your code again, and it will be better than
before as you did it once 2) commit your code, so you’ll not face such
problem in the future
