Oracle SQL Developer vs. RapidAPI

Almost all development activities (the tool is called "SQL Developer", not "DBA Toolset") can be done easily and quick with [Oracle] SQL Developer. From data model creation (tables, views) to development (creation of procedures, functions, packages) and then testing (SQL Developer includes an easy to use debugger), all tasks can be performed in a single tool.

It may not be as complete as other solutions for DBA tasks like instance monitoring, but it is usually OK for development and testing environments if you want to do some basic troubleshooting.

I always used and develop API with RapidAPI so also recommend to new people to use and learn about APIs. If we discuss about new user it's so easy to learn and develop API free of cost as well as paid subscription. My experience with RapidAPI is awesome.

• Object Browser in SQL Developer allows you to explore the contents of your database using the connection tree.
• The SQL Worksheet is an editor that allows for execution of SQL statements, scripts, and PL/SQL anonymous blocks. SELECT statements can be executed to return results in a spreadsheet-like 'grid' or can be executed as a script such to emulate SQL*Plus behavior and output
• DBA Console allows users with administrative privileges to access DBA features such as database init file configuration, RMAN backup, storage, etc.

• API uptime and scalability i trusted the most.
• API design is so easy even new person can easily develop API at there.
• Support every type of API like REST, SOAP etc.
• Very easy workflow

• Inability to run multiple queries on the same database. You can only run one query on a given database.
• Analytical models created from complex tables isn't accurate, and needs work.
• Inability to view multiple tables of a database side-by-side. When trying to find correlations between tables, it would help to be able to see them at once on the same page.

• Little issue for new user while designing new API through user interface of RapidAPI.
• Not sure about the security of the API so not possible for prodcution mode.

We had already thought of changing to TOAD, but we decided to stick with Oracle SQL Developer until the end.

I have started to use Toad for Oracle recently because it is easier to sort and filter results, due to their memory sort feature that puts the results from your query in memory so that you don't have to rerun your query. I have used SQL Developer to easily update records in tables that I need to fix. I haven't found an easy way to do this in Toad other than writing SQL insert statements.

Firebase is also good tools for user who are working on APIs but the marketplace of Rapid API is non comparative. Like how it's creates APIs and testing phase, supporting of multiple API types etc. These features makes Rapid API very unique from else ones.

• It gives 100% return on investment as it is free of cost.
• No need to have multiple tools for each database
• Considering the employee training, so one can save money on training, as it is not very hard to use so still savings.

• Front-end Devs like me not want to invest money for back-end so Rapid API is best option to try and design API's in very easy way.
• In case of using the more of Rapid API we can take subscription which is also on nominal prices.
• For front-end devs not need to learn back-end skills in Rapid API.
