A free graphical user interface, Oracle SQL Developer allows database users and SQL Developer Data Modeler administrators to do their database tasks in fewer clicks and keystrokes. A productivity tool, SQL Developer's main objective is to help the end Application Development user save time and maximize the return on investment in the Oracle Database technology stack. Framework SQL Developer supports Oracle Database 10g, 11g, and 12c and will run on any operating system that supports Java. Application Express
Oracle REST Data Services For the Developer SQL Developer provides powerful editors for working with SQL, PL/SQL, Stored Java Procedures, and XML. Run queries, generate execution Developer Tools for Visual plans, export data to the desired format (XML, Excel, HTML, PDF, etc.), execute, debug, test, and document your database programs, and much Studio more with SQL Developer. Discoverer For the DBA Enterprise Pack for Eclipse SQL Develper isn't just for developers! Since version 3.0, the DBA Panel (available under the View menu) has provided database administrators JHeadstart a set of interfaces for their most critical tasks. SQL Developer will continue to add and enhance features for the DBA. Today, SQL Developer's DBA panel provides support for: Warehouse Builder Data Pump Recovery Manager (RMAN) XML Developer's Kit Oracle Auditing Zend Server User and Role management Storage management, including the ability to add space to your tablespaces Forms Resource Manager Team Productivity Center Diagnostic Pack features: Snapshots Oracle Help Technologies Baselines ADDM Oracle Mobile Application ASH Framework AWR
For the Application Architect & Data Modeler Oracle SQL Developer includes a complete data modeling solution with Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler (SDDM) running inside the application (also available as a standalone and free installation.) SDDM supports: Logical, relational, physical, dimensional modeling Data Flow Diagrams DDL scripting Importing from data dictionaries, DDL scripts, Oracle Designer Repositories, and ERwin a Reporting Repository Versioning of your designs via Subversion Comparing models with generation of ALTER scripts a powerful search and reporting utility
For the Web Application Developer and Administrator Oracle SQL Developer allows you to administer Oracle Rest Data Services and for creating and altering your RESTful services.
Oracle SQL Developer integrates with Oracle APEX, allowing you to browse applications and perform other Application Express activities. With Oracle SQL Developer you can browse, export and import, drop or deploy applications. There are a selection of Application Express reports and you can create your own custom reports.
Third Party Database Migrations Formerly available in the Migration Workbench, Oracle SQL Developer is now the primary migration platform for moving your 3rd Party databases to Oracle Database. Users can connect to Access, SQL Server, Sybase ASE, DB2, or Teradata and walk a wizard-driven process to move their objects, data, and applications to Oracle.
