Oracle SQL Developer is an IDE for working with SQL in Oracle databases. Oracle Corporation provides this product free; it uses the Java Development Kit.

Features

In addition to working with Oracle products, Oracle SQL Developer previously supported connections to Microsoft Access, Sybase, and MySQL databases. As of the 1.5 release, though, the product only supports Oracle databases and a variety of third-party plugins. These plugins may be used to connect to a non-Oracle database.

A re-written SQL worksheet (the code-editing element in SQL Developer) will debut with the 2.1 release. Also, as of the 1.5 release, Oracle SQL Developer employs the commercial SQL formatting API by Guido Thelen. Oracle SQL Developer supports automatic tabs, code insight, bracket matching and syntax coloring for PL/SQL.

1.5.4, released in March 2009, is a translation release. Languages include Japanese, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese and Korean.

Components

Oracle SQL Developer product components include:

  • OWA (Oracle Web Agent or MOD_PLSQL), is an extension module for the Apache web server, and helps in setting up dynamic web-pages from PL/SQL within Oracle SQL Developer.[1]

Extensions

In addition to the extensions provided by Oracle, third-parties have written extensions to add new features and integrate with other products:[2]
