Features
Oracle SQL Developer supports Oracle products and a variety of third-party plugins which users may deploy to connect to non-Oracle databases. Oracle SQL Developer works with IBM DB2, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Sybase Adaptive Server, and Teradata databases.[1]
Oracle SQL Developer supports automatic tabs, code insight, bracket matching and syntax coloring for PL/SQL.
Oracle Corporation planned a re-written SQL worksheet (the code-editing element in SQL Developer) to debut with the 2.1 release.
As of the 1.5 release, Oracle SQL Developer employs the commercial SQL formatting API by Guido Thelen.
1.5.4, released in March 2009, is a translation release. Languages include Japanese, Spanish, Italian, German, French, India, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese and Korean. Users can set a language manually by adding "AddVMOption -Duser.language=<one_of_the_supported_languages>" (without quotes) to <SQL_Developer_installation_directory>\bin\sqldeveloper.conf.
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.[2]
