Oracle SQL Developer

Summary

SQL Developer provides a number of quick and easy-to-use utilities to work with data, whether it's instance data in your tables or metadata that defines your schema. You can create DDL and DML to save and run at a later stage by using a context menu option or by running going step-by-step. In the next chapter, we'll revisit the process of making database connections. Even though you have been using a connection throughout the book to this point, the options in the next chapter take connections a little further and discuss the alternatives and merits of the different connection types available.
