SQL Developer – your friend for Oracle DBs

Veröffentlicht von Dirk Rüdiger am Feb 15, 2008 in Allgemein | Ein Kommentar

Recently I wrote about a cool SQL DB client called SQL Explorer. Now a colleague of mine, who was developing against a Oracle DB presented SQL Developer. And my review reveals: It’s cool too!

SQL Developer works best with Oracle DBs (who wonders? ;-). But if you provide the jdbc connector jars for MySQL or MS SQL, then these DBs can be accessed as well. The feature set seems to be comparable with SQL Explorer. The only caveat is, that it is a Java Swing application. So it looks and feels a bit aged.

You can get it from Oracle: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/index.html
A Oracle Technology Network (OTN) account is needed for download.

It’s important to remark, that these apps aren’t management tools. They just provide help to traverse a database. And as the meta data of a db are stored in the database, they are really valuable for the admin. And if (s)he knows how to store administrative data in SQL tables, they are low(est) level admin tools! ;)
