What do you like best about SQL Developer?

It has many options, easy to us UI. The tab system is done well and there are many DBA functions that can be used through the tool like checking tablespaces, currently running jobs and running execution plans for queries.

There is a DBA window that you can attach a connection to and if you have full DBA rights, then you can perform your functions via a UI instead of having to type them in a command prompt Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

It uses a lot of resources and it can sometimes just crash. When I try to remote into my work computer from home, sometimes the SQL Developer just closes itself. It gives no warning. Never had that issue using Toad.

I also havent been able to locate the table locks and which sessions are causing those locks at the moment. I hope to be able to find that functionality soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SQL Developer:

Make sure your computer has a good amount of ram since this is a memory hog. I had issues running it with 4 gb ram, its been very smooth with 16gb ram. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SQL Developer solving and how is that benefiting you?

I run analytical queries and test how fast queries are running when users complain about a report running slow. Also check for hanging sessions and can use the tool to request the DBAs to kill the job since I dont have any DBA privileges myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
