Sankhadeep Sengupta - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved efficiency and access control enhance data management while room for improvement exists in query debugging and user interface
Oracle SQL Developer has disadvantages, such as the inability to execute or debug a query in a stored procedure, which is something we had in TOAD, a licensed tool with a richer feature set. So, we're dealing with the limitations of Oracle SQL Developer. Other than the debugging feature, I wish Oracle SQL Developer had better connectivity similar to TOAD, where we could simply input the DNS name without repeatedly entering passwords. Although there is a save option in Oracle SQL Developer, TOAD had a more developer-friendly interface, which I miss. The debugging functionality was much more convenient and smooth in TOAD compared to Oracle SQL Developer. I find Oracle SQL Developer less interactive and less developer-friendly, particularly when it comes to debugging, which was easier in TOAD.
