Well suited for medium size to large Oracle system that includes a large and complex database schema with many database objects including functions and triggers. Also well suited for a medium size to large Microsoft SQL Server system with many complex database objects. Its SQL editor and query builder are well suited in developing complex SQL queries.
[Oracle SQL Developer is] best suited if your company works with different databases and needs a common SQL editor to manage and query data for its user. Oracle SQL Developer works very well with Oracle but also some other relational databases. If you do lot of querying and import/export in database, then this is tool for you. It's ideal for DBAs as well for data modeling, management, session monitoring, logging, versioning, etc. It’s not ideal for no relational/noSQL or big data. It is not tool for visualization. It’s best suited for querying using SQL. Companies that are looking for free tools that are robust and most useful should definitely look at it.
does not handle lost connections well (specially after stopping a running query) (mysql). eg. after hitting stop, and then hitting run again, it can sometimes look like its running the query, but it isn't actually!
filtering on databases window is clunky (why the need for filtering certain object types at a time? just filter everything, google style)
altering table, adding columns (NOT to the end of the table's columns, but earlier) is not supported (mysql) even though the db supports it (alter table add column BEFORE..)
Setup can be challenging if your schemas aren't well formed or managed. Also, the ability to model/develop extensions for an existing database solution will depend on how robust the DBA provisioned roles and designed the respective schemas.
Detailed analysis of models can be clunky for complex relational models.
I use this tool for several hours each day, spanning many years in various projects. It's wide support for various database types while keeping consistency within the UI for each is important when working with various databases day in and day out.
Oracle SQL Developer is very easy to use and there are a wide range of courses available which can help you get started just within a day. Data can be exported in multiple formats based on user requirements. Organizational data can be stored and management effectively using Oracle SQL Developer. All the data, tables, sequences, indexes can be easily created and updated in Oracle SQL Developer.
[DbVisualizer] is pretty easy to use compared to IntelliJ because of it's simplicity. The performance is very good, it feels as good as a native application compared to the other two softwares I used for the same purpose. It's very cheaper compared to the other two tools and that's a big selling point.
Oracle SQL Developer is available on multiple platforms, Windows Mac Linux and it's free. SQL Developer is best suited for a big cross functional globally based team. SQL Developer is less resource intensive, compared to other IDEs. SQL Developer has the capability to manage and develop Oracle Database in both on premise and Cloud deployments. SQL Developer can also connect and interact with non oracle database like MS SQL server and MySQL etc.
The only point I could potentially give is hours saved by having so many warehouses hooked up in one place vs. having to manage connection string changes/password updates across multiple applications... maybe 10% decrease in time spent managing connections? Mind you, I've had everything hooked up on DbVis for close to 6 years so it's hard to remember the "before times"
No impact on the organization's budget as Oracle SQL Developer is free.
With the increased productivity of our database administrators, they are able to better assist the software developers in prototyping future products.
Through Oracle SQL Developer, our administrators were able to normalize many of our databases, reducing the amount of redundancy, and hence increasing the performance of our main application.
