Find out what your peers are saying about GitHub, Amazon Web Services (AWS), JetBrains and others in IDE."Good support for refactoring."
"Having the complete development environment in Linux in the same way as in Windows is already the best."
"Using execution plan, I am able to do lots of query tuning."
"I like it because it's very similar in output to SQL *Plus, and it has many convenience features that make it easier to read the data and use the basic reporting features it provides."
"It allows us to implement a form of test driven development (TDD) for database-resident code."
"The newer version has a lot of new features. It generates output and scripts for your Ultrix. It can generate JSON, XML, etc."
"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 most valuable features of Oracle SQL Developer that I use. However, I do not use all of them"
"Ability to analyze performance, using Explain Plan statement."
"One of the most important things to improve is the consumption of resources, mainly memory."
"Sometimes, plugins (from third parties) are not updated."
"Scalability has room for improvement. Often if you have to do a heavy load of queries or are getting large result sets you have to be careful not to overload the Java virtual machine that's running."
"I would like it to support background processes better."
"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."
"If they had something on the Web then you wouldn't need to install it, just query, like Enterprise Manager."
"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."
"It's more stable sometimes and less stable other times. I have used it in Windows, Mac, and Linux. It's variable, it's not the same stability. I think that can be improved on."
"It would be nice to have the ability to access DBs than Oracle."
"The competing products have more features."
