Welcome to Oracle SQL Developer.
Oracle SQL Developer is a free graphical tool that enhances productivity and simplifies database development tasks. With SQL Developer, you can browse database objects, run SQL statements and SQL scripts, edit and debug PL/SQL statements, manipulate and export data, and view and create reports. You can connect to Oracle databases, and you can connect to selected third-party (non-Oracle) databases, view metadata and data, and migrate these databases to Oracle.
SQL Developer also integrates interfaces into several related technologies, including Oracle Data Miner, Oracle OLAP, Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database, and SQL Developer Data Modeler (read-only).
