Overall Satisfaction with SQL Developer

As a software developer, it is important to manage databases from a fast and reliable presentation. SQL Developer allow developers to quickly manage data on a par with project and development times. Not only that, but also gives you modeling and reporting tools that facilitate the documentation in the analysis and design phases.
  • Data modeling and reporting tools.
  • Create new databases for startups.
  • Simple data management, even in a complex environment like Oracle Database.
  • It works mainly for Oracle and does not work as easily with other databases like SQL Server.
  • Installation can be a problem if you are not used to Oracle installation process.
  • Documentation is the key. SQL Developer speeds up the process of building artifacts, which translates into savings of time and money in the early stages of project planning.
  • Rapid access to data in critical situations can solve problems before they generate economic consequences.
If SQL Developer could be used so easily in other databases, it would be the best product against its competitors. The fact that it is maintained by Oracle and is free puts it at a very high value in the market.
If you are working with Oracle Database, SQL Developer is the way to go. If you go with other databases like SQL Server you could prefer SQL Management or Toad.
