Oracle SQL Developer Error: vendor code 1317

I am using Oracle SQL Developer to browse a MySQL database. When I browse table with Columns tab (shows table definitions), some of tables will display an Error Encountered dialog that says:

Vendor code 1317

Are you using the latest version of SQL Developer?

Might be worth asking this question on the SQL Developer Forum on OTN as it is well supported by the Oracle SQL Developer team.

I had a quick search and the only thread I could find was this one in which one of the responses reports the same problem as you but unfortunately there is not a direct response to it.

SQL Developer doesn't support 5.1.x series of jdbc mysql connector... you need to set up sql developer to use mysql-connector-java-5.0.4 in driver settings. You better use this one, because I was having the issue even with mysql-connector-java-5.0.8

To browse MYSQL DB with version Oracle SQL Developer (version 2.1.2.64) and avoid the above problem, you must use mysql/J connector: mysql-connector-java-5.0.4.

mysql-connector-java-5.0.8 or mysql-connector-java-5.1.* WILL NOT work.

1317 seems to be the mySQL code for ER_QUERY_INTERRUPTED. Maybe some sort of timeout ?

This is an excerpt from the above link:

Database: Third Party JDBC Drivers

The Third Party JDBC Drivers pane specifies drivers to be used for connections to third-party (non-Oracle) databases, such as IBM DB2, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or Sybase Adaptive Server. (You do not need to add a driver for connections to Microsoft Access databases.) To add a driver, click Add Entry and select the path for the driver:

For IBM DB2: the db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_license_cu.jar files, which are available from IBM

For MySQL: a file with a name similar to mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar, in a directory under the one into which you unzipped the download for the MySQL driver

For Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server: jtds-1.2.jar, which is included in the jtds-1.2-dist.zip download

For Teradata: tdgssconfig.jar and terajdbc4.jar, which are included (along with a readme.txt file) in the TeraJDBC__indep_indep.12.00.00.110.zip or TeraJDBC__indep_indep.12.00.00.110.tar download

Alternative: As an alternative to using this preference, you can click Help, then Check for Updates to install the JTDS JDBC Driver for Microsoft SQL Server and the MySQL JDBE Driver as extensions.

To find a specific third-party JDBC driver, see the appropriate Web site. For MySQL, use the MySQL 5.0 driver, not 5.1 or later, with SQL Developer release 1.5.

You must specify a third-party JDBC driver or install a driver using the Check for Updates feature before you can create a database connection to a third-party database of that associated type. (See the tabs for creating connections to third-party databases in the Create/Edit/Select Database Connection dialog box.)
