"Good software with a few niggles"
What do you like best about SQL Developer?

Easy to make connections and run SQL statements, good user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

Has a short timescale before it needs to reset, its generally around 10minutes and then youve got to wait for the conenction to reset. This can often be annoying when you're moving between different applications in order to validate data etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good tool for database browsing and administration"
What do you like best about SQL Developer?

It's a fantastic free tool supported by Oracle to allow you to manage all most all aspects of an oracle database. We usually encourage our development teams to try this first before they can go for commercial software. So far this has proved quite useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

The user interface is not very intuitive, color scheme and icon selecting is also very ambiguous. I would have personally appreciate a sqlplus type interface window which will allow you to run multiple queries and record the result sequentially for problem analysis but overall its quite good.

"Useful tool for quick database maintenance"
What do you like best about SQL Developer?

Drilling down into schemas is relatively simple, with a tree structure that makes navigation in multiple schema very easy and intuitive. Being able to modify tables directly rather than having to use SQL each time is also a plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

It's very awkward to bring up multiple tables in the view pane. The tabs are unimodal, so if you bring up a data view in one table and then want to look at another table, the tab is overwritten with the new table data. There is some sort of split window functionality but it's very unintuitive to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Better programs out there"
What do you like best about SQL Developer?

I like being able to filter tables and sorting columns once opening a table. SQL Developer allows for helping me view and export database structures which is very helpful. On the plus side, it is easy to start for new developers and making connections is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

I do not like how to writer queries in oracle nor do I like how low it is. SQL server is so much better than SQL developer. Writing queries in SQL developer is frustrating. The join sequence is weird to optimize queries. I also really with it was better helping identifying syntax errors. The query editor is not that great. The software is slow, locks up all of the time and crashes. I often get a black screen and have to force close the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
