"Great Data Extraction for Non-Profit Database"

4.5/5

What do you like best about SQL Developer?

This software enables me to easily connect to my database and extract the specific information I need. I am able to join many different table and query based on many different criteria. The software program allows me to use long lists of criteria entries as well. It is intuitive, well organized and and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

The password interface to connect to different database instances could use some work to be more intuitive and easier to change or lookup forgotten passwords. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Does the job, but not too well"

1.5/5

What do you like best about SQL Developer?

Somewhat intuitive layout and the ability to store and easily access multiple different connections that have been previously setup easily and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

Overall it's a clunky and often slow interface. There's no way to really get into the tables to edit data without right clicking on the table name IF it's in a select statement and going to "Open Declaration". It also handles unexpected disconnects poorly. The "Reconnect" menu item does not always work when the database has been unexpectedly disconnected and when it does work it sits for several seconds (maybe closer to 10) before it seems to realize the connection was already dropped and then it finally reconnects. Also, I believe it's when you disconnect then reconnect that it opens a new SQL window instead of allowing you to automatically start executing SQLs in the one you previously had open. You can use that window that was previously open, but you need to point it at the connection again. The execution plan is also not very intuitive. SQL Server Management Studio was designed much better. Toad, I hear, is a good replacement for SQL Developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SQL Developer:

Use Toad instead. I have not used Toad myself, but many I work with use it and when I am working with them they seem to navigate it easily and they also all prefer it to SQL Developer. I really need to jump on the Toad bandwagon in my office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Maintaining a database for a CIS application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Restart the product again"

3/5

What do you like best about SQL Developer?

Access to any number of Oracle databases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

It is always necessary to restart the application since it uses to lose the active connection Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good basic program"

3/5

What do you like best about SQL Developer?

Easy to use. With this program you are up and running in no time. I love the feature that lets you store queries so you can pull them up later and run again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

It seems inconvenient that you need to use another program to connect to the database before you can run SQL Developer. If I lose connection and the other program has to be reconnected, then SQL Developer will sometimes freeze. Then I'll have to restart and lose whatever query I am in the middle of building. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SQL Developer:

SQL Developer will get you up and running fairly quickly. Good interface for writing queries that can be stored for later use. Works well with Oracle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I mainly use SQL Developer to query data from PowerSchool. When multiple tables are involved, pulling data is often easier and/or quicker with SQL Developer than with PowerSchool's build-in features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not as user friendly as MS SQL"

1.5/5

What do you like best about SQL Developer?

This SQL interface is used in many different companies so it has coverage. The syntax is clear and similar to other SQL interfaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

This UI is not user friendly and seems to be bulky. It is hard to find tables easily. Poking around takes a lot of time to find what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SQL Developer:

SQL Developer is a bit clunky and not intuitive. There are many how-to's online that can help a user with this software. There are other SQL interfaces that are more intuitive for non-dev and non-dbas that might be more appropriate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Needed a quick way to pull data out of the DB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
