Good plugins and helpful templates with a useful auto-code suggestion feature

Eclipse's auto-code suggestion feature makes programming very easy and fast. Thanks to Eclipse, we can deliver fast and well-compiled code as it compiles the code on every hit which stops developers from writing bad code instantly. On top of this, we can integrate other software like Tomcat, and MySQL in Eclipse very easily which makes development even faster. Now, we can deploy our Java app directly into Tomcat from Eclipse itself which saves a lot of time in development. The same thing is true in MySQL. we can see data in Eclipse itself using SQL queries. There's no need to install a query browser application.

Useful features, simple implementation, and scalable

For first-time users of Oracle SQL Developer, it's going to be a bit difficult, but they can find their way around over time. I rate Oracle SQL Developer a nine out of ten. I didn't face any other issues other than it being a bit slow when you have a lot of work to do.

Pros

"It works like a one-stop shop for all of our application development requirements."

"It is very extensible and uses resources optimally."

"Eclipse's auto-code suggestion feature makes programming very easy and fast."

"I have a lot of flexibility with it."

"You do not have to install it, just dump it on the OS, then use it."

"The newer version has a lot of new features. It generates output and scripts for your Ultrix. It can generate JSON, XML, etc."

"It's easy to deploy, I can copy it onto the system and run it without having to install it and this makes it a very good solution for quick use."

"You can install it on every platform. It just works. The other thing is that it's free. And Oracle is committed to the development of the tool, so it has been improving."

"The most valuable features of Oracle SQL Developer that I use. However, I do not use all of them"

"Using execution plan, I am able to do lots of query tuning."

"It allows us to implement a form of test driven development (TDD) for database-resident code."

More Oracle SQL Developer pros

Cons

"Eclipse can sometimes be a plugin nightmare. Various plugins require different versions of the same plugin running for different reasons."

"I would like to see it extend native support for functional languages like Scala."

"The development of the product needs improvement."

"It would be nice to have the ability to access DBs than Oracle."

"There is room for improvement in the Real Time SQL Monitoring."

"Oracle SQL Developer could improve the speed, it is a bit slow."

"The stability depends on what version you're using. There are more successful versions and are less successful versions. For example, 17.3 is less successful. There were many bugs. Now, we are trying to pull all the developers to upgrade to 17.4."

"The competing products have more features."

"I think it would be great to have an overview over the sessions it opens so that we could easily see and control which connections to the database we want to keep open, which ones are hanging; and it would be great to make them independent from each other."

"I would like it to support background processes better."

"If they had something on the Web then you wouldn't need to install it, just query, like Enterprise Manager."
