Oracle SQL Developer

Oracle SQL Developer is a free integrated development environment that simplifies the development and management of Oracle Database in both traditional and Cloud deployments. SQL Developer offers complete end-to-end development of PL/SQL applications, a worksheet for running queries and scripts, a DBA console for managing the database, a reports interface, a complete data modeling solution, and a migration platform for moving 3rd party databases to Oracle.

Oracle offers a wide range of migration services to help users optimize their usage of Oracle technology. Through the use of tools, resources, and proven best practices, Oracle can provide support for migrating from legacy or non-Oracle technologies to Oracle. Oracle SQL Developer is Oracle's Migration tool to migrate non-Oracle databases to Oracle. Migrating with Oracle SQL Developer reduces the time, risks, and financial barriers involved in migrating to the Oracle platform.

Moreover, SQL Developer's DBA panel allows an administrator connected to a 12c Database with a Multi-tenant architecture database to select a pluggable database, and copy or move it up to their Oracle Database Cloud Service environment. SQL Developer will unplug the database, copy it up to the Cloud Service, and plug it in seamlessly with no interaction required from the administrator.

The progress of the entire process and the uploading of the files can be monitored within SQL Developer itself. Users can also visualize the status of their database in a brand new, graphical representation of the IO, wait events, storage, log switches, and processes. Requiring no server side objects, agents, or database changes, this new SQL Developer feature will shorten the amount of time it takes to diagnose ongoing performance issues.
