"SQL Developer - An Application to retrieve the data easily"
4/5
What do you like best about SQL Developer?

Connectivity to the database is faster.

We use ORACLE DB in our application; SQL developer is the best application to connect to DB servers hosted on different servers.

Queries can be saved easily.

Massive table data can be extracted to various formats like CSV, Txt etc.

It does not lose the data written on a worksheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Entity relation of tables cannot be seen on SQL developer.

One To Many associations, Foreign Key relations cannot be seen when the table is viewed.

Sometimes copying the data is difficult, as it does not load it entirely.

Updating the data on the go does not happen which makes difficult always writing update queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
