An overview of SQL Developer


SQL Developer is a free integrated development environment from Oracle that allows the database community to develop PL/SQL applications and, perform administrative tasks, and enables management activities such as data modeling, versioning, scripting, and third-party migration. The latest version of SQL Developer (as of the time of writing this book) is 4.1.1.

The tool is built using Java (on JDeveloper Framework), which enables it to run on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. By default, it uses the thin JDBC (Type IV Java driver) driver to connect to the database, thus reducing the requirements of any further database clients. In addition, the extensible architecture of SQL Developer allows the developer community to incorporate their own custom extensions in to the tool. You can leverage Oracle JDeveloper's Extension SDK (Software Development Kit) to develop and add the required functionality as an extension to the SQL Developer tool.
