I have been using it for about five years, but it has not been continuous. Sometimes I have projects that are developed in SQL Server, MySQL, and even more relational databases such as MongoDB. It depends on the project. Basically, it is very strange that when a new project comes and I decide which technology to use, most of the time it is already there as a legacy system that was developed perhaps 15 years ago. There is already functionality, so it depends on the requirements and user stories that product management requires or asks. Based on that, or even there are other kinds of projects I have been working on, such as supporting some existing platforms. As I mentioned, it depends on the type of project, but basically, it is a legacy system. There is no documentation most of the time, and I can say it is very challenging because I need to do research. Also, I have been working with other teams on the back-end side. When there is C# code there, they call a stored procedure, then they give me the name of the object, and then I can start my research.

I have been working with Oracle SQL Developer for different database entities, such as scheduling jobs that run on data and send mail notifications using an SMTP server. Additionally, we handle various storage for application-related information and manage handshaking with SAP through staging tables. While we don't directly integrate with SAP, we utilize those staging tables for non-SAP applications to fetch SAP-related details. That's primarily how we utilize the database.

I use the product, and the many aspects of it, because it covers everything from querying a database to monitoring to making a conceptual model to getting the model from the database and producing diagrams. It has many uses.
We use it daily to merge our databases. In my function, I use it as my client database. I am also using a newer version. It is small client, which is new product. We use the GUI product daily. This is my daily tool for whatever I am doing.

Right now I am using SQL Developer to install a database, and I use it as a client tool.
The primary use case is developing and maintaining databases.
Database querying, curating scripts, and database tuning.
We manage user databases and we see execution plans for performance. It's performing very well.
It's for monitoring the database and for PL/SQL Developer.
We use it to support developers. Its main use is for developers to connect to a database.
