"A nice database management tool"
What do you like best about SQL Developer?

It's free. Everyone likes free tools. The UI is quite simple, you will not need any manual to operate it.

The tool was used throughout my organisation. I used it in software testing. The fact that handle multiple data bases at one time and you can work with data very easily through queries directly makes it user friendly.

Exporting data is another useful feature to analyse data. This was required while we were making software from scratch and it was very helpful in root cause analysis.

Another simple yet useful feature is the color coding of keywords while writing sql queries.

You can also save your work into a sql file which can be used later.

From beginners to experts it's useful for all.

End user reports extraction using sql queries is very direct easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Developer?

There is nothing as such to dislike but sometime while running large set of queries it used to hang (running displayed always) and we were never sure that the changes were made or not. Anyway we have to execute the changes again which was a rework.

The UI is not customizable which is think is a feature present in many tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When trying to save log output from the SQL Statements that I just run, it would be great if the last used directory was already selected. Apart from that I don't remember anything that I dislike about SQL Developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
