SQL Developer hides the Query Builder quite well

by on June 25, 2007 in Oracle

You are probably asking yourself, what Query Builder inside SQL Developer (Oracle’s free tool to manage your databases (Oracle, MS SQL, MySQL, etc.)) I am talking about. I don’t know why but Oracle has hidden the Query Builder “very well” in it (talking about good User Interface practice here…).

Anyhow, to get to the Query Builder you have to have a SQL Worksheet open and then right + click and chose the Query Builder from the Context menu, there is no shortcut and no other way to get to it. Well, at least, once you open it you can do quite advanced SQL with it :-)

SQL Developer 1.2 features Migration Workbench

by on June 8, 2007 in Oracle

Our favorite database vendor, Oracle released the other day the new Version of SQL Developer. With it you are not only able to manage your Oracle database (of course) but also work against a MS SQL or a MySQL database. This all for free.

Now, Oracle just added an advanced Migration Workbench to it as well. With the Migration Workbench you can migrate over any Access, MS SQL or MySQL database to an Oracle database the easy way. They even put together some nice tutorials for you to see.

Oracle releases SQL Developer (formerly Raptor)

by on March 14, 2006 in Oracle

Oracle released the production version of SQL Developer (formerly known as Raptor). As from their website it states: “Oracle SQL Developer is a new, free graphical tool that enhances productivity and simplifies database development tasks. With SQL Developer, you can browse database objects, run SQL statements and SQL scripts, and edit and debug PL/SQL statements. You can also run any number of provided reports, as well as create and save your own.”

We have been using SQL Developer in the last couple of betas and we think it is a way killer application. Also we all have now a cross platform tool because SQL Developer works on Windows, Linux (Suse, RedHat, Fedora, etc.) and the Mac (MacOS X).

If you haven’t done so go to Oracle’s Website (OTN) and download SQL Developer today.
