"User friendly"

4.5/5

What do you like best about SQL Developer?

The Interface is very user friendly, its pretty easy to figure out for a first time user. I use the built-in filter feature a lot and the fact that I can connect to and query multiple instances of databases on the same interface is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

It can get too slow some times. Throws weird errors when connected for too long Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product for multiple database technologies."

5/5

What do you like best about SQL Developer?

Despite being developed by SQL Developer allows users to easily manage connections Oracle databases as well as to a multitude of database technologies such as SQL Server, Mysql, and Teradata through third party plugins. The tool is very intuitive, and you can't beat the free price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

After idling for a long time, the application will occasionally stop responding and the user may be forced to quit. A similar problem exists when refreshing connections to a database after the connection times out. It can be a hassle to restart the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Developing oracle applications with SQL Developer"

4/5

What do you like best about SQL Developer?

The tool was very intuitive to use. There was only a small learning curve before a new user could be very productive. Menus contained the items you'd assume would be under them. Icons reflected the actions they represented Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

It was possible to display too many icons, too many menus, too many windows. The screen became intimidating. Even experienced users could become lost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SQL Developer:

Given a basic understanding of Oracle and SQL, this product should be an immediate help to developers and business users. Establishing this as "the" SQL tool for a team of developers increases the benefits you can reap from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The project was to merge legacy data into the current oracle database. We needed to not only create scripts to accomplish the merger, but to also be able to validate that other data merges were successful. Being able to create and populate tables on the fly saved a lot of time. Many of the functions were needed to use were already available to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Oracle SQL developer is the IDE for most of the database operations. "

4/5

What do you like best about SQL Developer?

Its free! It provides interface for all PL SQL modules, Java procedures, HTML, XML etc. It supports all developer operations like create tables, triggers, packages etc and also DBA features like snapshots, RMAN etc. Oracle SQL developer can be integrated with Oracle APEX! Its very useful for PL SQL Unit testing. The other nice feature is we can see multiple datagrids at a time for multiple queries ran in a query window.

The main advantage with SQL Developer from Toad is its free.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

Debugging and exception handling features are better handled in toad for PL SQL packages. Sometimes GUI gets slower and not responding. Some of the other databases integration may be painful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SQL Developer:

This is a better software in the market and as it is free do not compare with some robust licensed software. Its free and its great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Writing SQL procedure, functions and other objects to provide data loading features and for data analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
