"A nice database management tool"
What do you like best about SQL Developer?

It's free. Everyone likes free tools. The UI is quite simple, you will not need any manual to operate it.

The tool was used throughout my organisation. I used it in software testing. The fact that handle multiple data bases at one time and you can work with data very easily through queries directly makes it user friendly.

Exporting data is another useful feature to analyse data. This was required while we were making software from scratch and it was very helpful in root cause analysis.

Another simple yet useful feature is the color coding of keywords while writing sql queries.

You can also save your work into a sql file which can be used later.

From beginners to experts it's useful for all.

End user reports extraction using sql queries is very direct easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

There is nothing as such to dislike but sometime while running large set of queries it used to hang (running displayed always) and we were never sure that the changes were made or not. Anyway we have to execute the changes again which was a rework.

The UI is not customizable which is think is a feature present in many tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SQL Developer rocks "
What do you like best about SQL Developer?

SQL Developer is free and very easy to use to access a group of Oracle Database where I need to deploy scripts made by developers. Sometimes I need to look at their code mistakes and try to recompile their objects and it's really easy to do it with SQL Developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

When trying to save log output from the SQL Statements that I just run, it would be great if the last used directory was already selected. Apart from that I don't remember anything that I dislike about SQL Developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SQL Developer Reviews"
What do you like best about SQL Developer?

Oracle SQL Developer is a free, integrated development environment that simplifies the development and management of Oracle Database in both traditional and Cloud deployments. SQL Developer offers complete end-to-end development of your PL/SQL applications, a worksheet for running queries and scripts, a DBA console for managing the database, a reports interface, a complete data modeling solution, and a migration platform for moving your 3rd party databases to Oracle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

Never know when a query has been truly terminated. Even if one has access to the SQL Monitoring or Monitoring SQL Sessions, it still may show as being terminated but in actuality, within OEM, the query could still be running and need to be killed there. The inability to truly know when a session has ended results in frustration because the next query may not be able to run because the last is actually still running.

The tuning advisor runs very long and is not always helpful.

Not knowing the status of a query can be frustrating. That is, if a query is running long, it may show as "running" (i.e. the horizontal bar moving back and forth at the bottom of the screen), but in actuality, it may be hung up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Has all of the functionality you would want and expect"
What do you like best about SQL Developer?

I enjoy sql developer for what it is. It's quick, easy to use, the layout makes sense, and it's not a super resource hungry. Switching between connections is quick and it offers a fair amount of functionality tailored towards DBAs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

There isn't much to dislike really. One thing I would like them to add would be themes. Personally I enjoy the dark theme option from Microsoft products, I wish Oracle would adopt that. It's definitely not crucial functionality or anything, but a nice feature when all your other apps are dark and you're working at night. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
