Oracle SQL Developer Download For Windows 20.4.1.407.0006
There are numerous products available to programmers and those who want to manage database solutions might appreciate the functions of Oracle SQL Developer.
It is a so-called IDE (Integrated Development Environment) meant to cut down the hassle when it comes to the development or management of Oracle databases. Before installing it, users need to make sure they have Java installed onto the host computer or the setup process will fail.
Not only does the software solution support editing and debugging of PL/SQL applications, but it also comes with a platform for deploying SQL scripts or queries.
Due to the app’s integrated DBA console, developers can easily administer the database contents, generate reports or migrate third-party databases to Oracle.
The interface is neatly organized within several sections so that each action or query can be performed without needing to access additional windows or menus. Thus, the left panel can be used to find and select objects, while the right section provides details on the selected items.
In addition, Oracle SQL Developer can be used to connect to non-Oracle databases with as little effort as possible, so users can explore data stored in Microsoft SQL Server, Access, MySQL, Sybase Adaptive Server, and IBM DB2 databases.
Other functions provided by Oracle SQL Developer are the creation or import of database designs, along with the building and editing of Data Modeler objects.
The component palette can also be adjusted, yet the options are quite limited for certain page types and existing components.
