Find out what your peers are saying about GitHub, Amazon Web Services (AWS), JetBrains and others in IDE."It is very extensible and uses resources optimally."
"It works like a one-stop shop for all of our application development requirements."
"Eclipse's auto-code suggestion feature makes programming very easy and fast."
"Using execution plan, I am able to do lots of query tuning."
"I have a lot of flexibility with it."
"Ability to analyze performance, using Explain Plan statement."
"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."
"It allows us to implement a form of test driven development (TDD) for database-resident code."
"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."
"You do not have to install it, just dump it on the OS, then use it."
"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."
"I would like to see it extend native support for functional languages like Scala."
"Eclipse can sometimes be a plugin nightmare. Various plugins require different versions of the same plugin running for different reasons."
"The development of the product needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle SQL Developer could improve the speed, it is a bit slow."
"There is room for improvement in the Real Time SQL Monitoring."
"It would be nice to have the ability to access DBs than Oracle."
"The initial setup is always a problem, it cannot find the Java SDK."
"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."
"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."
