Old SQL History in Oracle SQL Developer

As Oracle has documented, there is a SQL history folder and it is larger (has more SQL queries that go back about a year) than the SQL History tool bar (a couple of months).

Here is the content of my SQL History tool bar:

With respect to the SQL history folder, release notes cite this location in Windows 7:

C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\SqlHistory

While this folder contains SQL History, it also contains: User-defined reports and user-defined snippets files (e.g. see 3.1 Sql Developer release notes) Here is my SQL History folder:

I do not see any documentation to adjust the size of either.

In SQL Developer, to change the limit go to: Tools -> Preferences.

Inside this, navigate to:

Database –> Worksheet –> SQL History Limit

Change it to whatever you want. (In 4.0.1.14, the max was 999999999.)

Hope it helps.

Best regards.

In SQL Developer> View menu:

Then, go to file option:

and you got recent file tab:

You can try

View > History SQL

For example, look this picture:
