Today i had to work with an oracle database and i did not had any SQL client installed on my machine, so i went to Oracle’s site and tried to download Oracle SQL Developer but my luck, i couldn’t signup because of some error on oracle’s signup page. Hmm … so i tried to look for some other website which might be keeping a copy of Oracle SQL Developer. It was the when i found out about this similarly named product “SQL Developer”. I downloaded and installed it. But before i could connect to the database i had to download Oracle’s JDBC driver and add it in SQL Developer’s driver list. Once that was done i could easily access the database. Checkout a screen shoot of the product taken from their website.
1. Main menu and tool bar
2. Database Navigator
3. Output window and Bookmarks
4. MDI (Multiple Document Interface) window area
5. Context menus
PS: I figured out that the problem with downloading Oracle Developer was because of some cache problem with my browser and i was able to download Oracle SQL Developer.
