"It is very extensible and uses resources optimally."
"It works like a one-stop shop for all of our application development requirements."
"The most valuable features of Oracle SQL Developer that I use. However, I do not use all of them"
"Using execution plan, I am able to do lots of query tuning."
"The newer version has a lot of new features. It generates output and scripts for your Ultrix. It can generate JSON, XML, etc."
"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."
"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."
"Ability to analyze performance, using Explain Plan statement."
"I have a lot of flexibility with it."
"The development of the product needs improvement."
"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."
"It would be nice to have the ability to access DBs than Oracle."
"I would like it to support background processes better."
"There are occasional runtime issues that are easily worked around, especially on a Windows deployment."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup is always a problem, it cannot find the Java SDK."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the Real Time SQL Monitoring."
