Overall Satisfaction with Oracle SQL Developer

SQL developer is still being used as one of the main tools for manipulating our databases. Although for development, the built-in tools suffice, this professional tool is still used widely by our DBAs. A reliable, and well-supported tool, which is excellent to utilize the power of PL/SQL and Oracle databases.
  • Database manipulation and SQL editing.
  • PL/SQL code development.
  • Modern IDE like features, like wider linting support.
  • More customization.
  • Hard to describe, as this tool helped our company to become the database expert firm that it is today.
IDEA has a built-in database connection and query platform. It has a slightly better code completion feature but lacks many of the functions of the SQL developer.

This is a free, very easy to use tool, and also quite widely used. If somebody wants to learn SQL and PL/SQL, this is the number one tool to begin with. Also, for Oracle databases, this tool works quite well and has some integrated solutions that other SQL IDE's lack. This functions well as a platform for new users and for highly trained professionals as well.
