Sometime when you try to connect to oracle database using sql developer tool, you will see the below error message

Problem Statement

An error was encountered performing the requested operations:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01882: timezone region not found
OO604. 00000 - "error occurred at recursive SQL level %s"
*Cause: An error occurred while processing a recursive SQL statement 
(a statement applying to internal dictionary tables).
*Action: If the situation described in the next error on the stack 
can be corrected, do so; otherwise contact Oracle Support
Vendor code 604

Solution

1. First we need to check the timezone of the database

SELECT *
FROM   V$TIMEZONE_NAMES
WHERE  TZNAME LIKE 'America%';

2. Edit the sqldeveloper.conf file sqldevelopersqldeveloperbinsqldeveloper.conf and add the following line

AddVMOption -Duser.timezone=America/Santiago

Save the configuration file and restart the sql developer.
