Good day,

I want to backup my Snippets but cannot find the file to back it up as I cannot locate the XML file with my Snippets therein. I went to system23.1.1.345.2114 and in there I went to o.sqldeveloper.snippet and this folder is empty despite me setting "Sow hidden files"

and Connor said...

Go back up a level to just to "SQL Developer" folder. There should be a file called UserSnippets.xml

When I click on SQL Developer I have: SQLhistory and system23.1.1.345.2114. and tmp and Code Template and UserSnippets. I clicked on UserSnippets.xml and found the xml file there with my Snippets stored. I will copy this file as my backup file. Thank you. Greetings.
