What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

Eventually, the debugger might hang while debugging the packages if the package has thousands of lines. However, it can be done using the debug points rather than going through the line by line in the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Oracle SQL Developer - Best tool for oracle data manipulation work."
What do you like best about SQL Developer?

As my primary skill was Oracle SQL, PLSQL, I mainly used SQL developer for Oracle data retrieval, insertion, and updation work. Now-a days just data retrieval is not useful, so performance tuning is playing a key role in any company and this tool has an inbuilt feature of explain plan which I mostly used for query tuning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

The downside of SQL developer is that when you export data into any file with a million rows, it takes longer to export and sometimes hangs. Another thing is that if an export operation is going on and you want to cancel that activity, this tool is not that user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best IDE to talk with Oracle Databases"
What do you like best about SQL Developer?

To summarize, the most likable features of Oracle SQL Developer :

1. Clear, crisp, and concise UI. Minimalist UI makes SQL developer a beginner's friendly IDE for SQL and PL/SQL developers.

2. Connection manager enables the user to manage, create and delete database connections.

3. The connections are portable in XML or JSON format. And to export and share the database connections, we need not share the connection password, and we can encrypt the connection files with an encryption password.

4. Multi-tab query feature. In a SQL developer, we can open multiple tabs (SQL worksheets), we can develop multiple queries at the same time.

5. Supports Oracle NoSQL connections.

6. Easy to debug code with the "Message Log" feature.

7. Open source and available for free. Just one needs to create a free oracle account, all of which is free of any cost, and no Credit card is required.

8. Best IDE to write PL/SQL code blocks, although Oracle has a PL/SQL developer, developers prefer SQL developer to write / developer / manage PLSQL code blocks (Package/Procedure/Functions). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

There are a few points, which I would like Oracle to improve about the SQL developer, those are :

1. The Software is resource-intensive. I have seen machines with less than 4 GB of Ram struggle to run this software.

2. There is a limitation in the view of the result set. When a user drags down to scroll through the entire result set, it freezes after 20-30 rows of the result set.

3. If a connection is left unused for more than 10 minutes, the connection drops, and it resets, the transaction session is dropped.

4. With VPNs, SQL developer frequently drops the connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
