Read this blog, see the ‘cool stuff’, use it, and then teach your organization what you’ve learned and show them how to do more. I like money and I want you to make more. Why do you need to realize this? Because for every percentage point you deviate from the 10% (and I mean going up, not down), makes you that much more productive and valuable to your organization. Now the tricky part is that while there’s some overlap, everyone’s ‘10%’ sweet spot is different.
Actually most users only avail themselves of about 10% of ANY software product. Then tab over to your worksheet and start playing with your new objects in the database – all without leaving SQL Developer. So you can build a relational model, engineer that to a 12c physical model, and then generate your DDL scripts to push out to the database.
But we also include it INSIDE of SQL Developer. Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler is a separate data modeling tool. A complete data modeling solution is built right-in. No, we’re trying to help you migrate from these platforms TO Oracle Database.Įverything you need to migrate your application and database (OK, mostly everything) is to be found in SQL Developer. But the reason we provide this feature isn’t because we’re trying to be a multi-RDBMS query tool. You can query and browse these cough databases. We can connect to SQL Server, Sybase, DB2, and other ‘weird’ platforms. This version already has a good bit of 12 c specific feature exploits available, including:Ħ. With Database 12 c, you’ll find version 3.2.20.09 of SQL Developer. Now, the software version of SQL Developer shipped with the database is only updated as new major versions of Oracle Database are released. That’s right, go double-check your $ORACLE_HOME directory. With interfaces to RMAN, Data Pump, security, storage, and parameter management, the SQL Developer user can quickly perform their administrative tasks without having to leave the tool.Īnd we’re looking to add more toys here, so stay tuned! 7. There’s an entire DBA panel in the tool that almost doubles the functionality of the product. I’ll be working with one of the JDev Product Managers soon to do more outreach to our Java developers to help them get more out of the database widgets inside of JDev. It’s a very fun and interesting relationship. So we build SQL Developer off of JDeveloper and then provide extensions back to JDev. If you’re in JDeveloper doing database stuff, that’s largely from us. In version 4, we’re running on their latest 12c framework – that’s how you get your fancy floating windows, an updated look-and-feel, improved search and replace, etc. Heh, no one’s perfect ? Yes, we like to kid our JDev cousins, but they do give us some nice things. And that will continue for many years to come. We don’t like to brag (lying, of course we like to brag, we’re Oracle), but after 8 years, we have saved our customers many millions of dollars in software licenses and maintenance. The number of folks downloading it grows by double-digit percentage points, year-over-year. What started out as Project Raptor in 2005 has become one of the most downloaded resources on OTN, enjoying somewhere around 2,500,000 regular users. From 2005 to today, man how time flies!Īctually, we can’t sing either, but I digress. We’re not the new kids on the block anymore. And you probably know it better than the average user, especially if you’re a subscriber to this blog ? But I’m betting there’s a few key things you’ve overlooked.
