What Is Oracle SQL Developer?

Oracle SQL Developer is a free graphical tool that is designed to improve your productivity and
simplify the development of everyday database tasks. With just a few clicks, you can easily create
and debug stored procedures, test SQL statements, and view optimizer plans.
SQL Developer, the visual tool for database development, simplifies the following tasks:
• Browsing and managing database objects
• Executing SQL statements and scripts
• Editing and debugging PL/SQL statements
• Creating reports
You can connect to any target Oracle database schema by using standard Oracle database
authentication. When connected, you can perform operations on objects in the database.
The SQL Developer 1.2 release tightly integrates with Developer Migration Workbench that
provides users with a single point to browse database objects and data in third-party databases,
and to migrate from these databases to Oracle. You can also connect to schemas for selected third-
party (non-Oracle) databases such as MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft Access, and
you can view the metadata and data in these databases.
Additionally, SQL Developer includes support for Oracle Application Express 3.0.1 (Oracle
APEX).

Specifications of SQL Developer
• Is shipped along with Oracle Database 11g Release 2

• Is developed in Java
• Supports Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X platforms
• Provides default connectivity by using the JDBC Thin
driver
• Connects to Oracle Database version 9.2.0.1 and later

veloper/index.html
Specifications of SQL Developer

Oracle SQL Developer 1.5 is shipped along with Oracle Database 11g Release 2. SQL Developer
is developed in Java and leverages the Oracle JDeveloper integrated development environment
(IDE). Therefore, it is a cross-platform tool. The tool runs on the Windows, Linux, and Mac
operating system (OS) X platforms.
Default connectivity to the database is through the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) Thin
driver, and therefore, no Oracle Home is required. SQL Developer does not require an installer.
You only need to unzip the downloaded file. With SQL Developer, users can connect to Oracle
Databases 9.2.0.1 and later, and all Oracle database editions, including Express Edition.
Note
• For Oracle Database versions before Oracle Database 11g Release 2, you will have to
download and install SQL Developer. SQL Developer 1.5 is freely downloadable from the
following link:
- http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/index.html
• For instructions on how to install SQL Developer, you can visit the following link:
- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12151_01/index.htm

SQL Developer 1.5 Interface
You must define a

connection to start
using SQL Developer
for running SQL queries
on a database schema.
SQL Developer 1.5 Interface

The SQL Developer 1.5 interface contains three main navigation tabs, from left to right:
• Connections tab: By using this tab, you can browse database objects and users to which you
have access.
• Files tab: Identified by the Files folder icon, this tab enables you to access files from your
local machine without having to use the File > Open menu.
• Reports tab: Identified by the Reports icon, this tab enables you to run predefined reports or
create and add your own reports.
General Navigation and Use
SQL Developer uses the left side for navigation to find and select objects, and the right side to
display information about selected objects. You can customize many aspects of the appearance
and behavior of SQL Developer by setting preferences.
Note: You need to define at least one connection to be able to connect to a database schema and
issue SQL queries or run procedures and functions.

SQL Developer 1.5 Interface (continued)
Menus
The following menus contain standard entries, as well as entries for features that are specific to
SQL Developer:
• View: Contains options that affect what is displayed in the SQL Developer interface
• Navigate: Contains options for navigating to panes and in the execution of subprograms
• Run: Contains the Run File and Execution Profile options that are relevant when a function
or procedure is selected, and also debugging options
• Source: Contains options for use when you edit functions and procedures
• Versioning: Provides integrated support for the following versioning and source control
systems: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) and Subversion
• Migration: Contains options related to migrating third-party databases to Oracle
• Tools: Invokes SQL Developer tools such as SQL*Plus, Preferences, and SQL Worksheet
Note: The Run menu also contains options that are relevant when a function or procedure is
selected for debugging. These are the same options found in the Debug menu in version 1.2.

Creating a Database Connection
• You must have at least one database connection to use

SQL Developer.
• You can create and test connections for:
– Multiple databases
– Multiple schemas
• SQL Developer automatically imports any connections
defined in the tnsnames.ora file on your system.
• You can export connections to an Extensible Markup
Language (XML) file.
• Each additional database connection created is listed in
the Connections Navigator hierarchy.

A connection is a SQL Developer object that specifies the necessary information for connecting to
a specific database as a specific user of that database. To use SQL Developer, you must have at
least one database connection, which may be existing, created, or imported.
You can create and test connections for multiple databases and for multiple schemas.
By default, the tnsnames.ora file is located in the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
directory, but it can also be in the directory specified by the TNS_ADMIN environment variable or
registry value. When you start SQL Developer and display the Database Connections dialog box,
SQL Developer automatically imports any connections defined in the tnsnames.ora file on
your system.
Note: On Windows, if the tnsnames.ora file exists but its connections are not being used by
SQL Developer, define TNS_ADMIN as a system environment variable.
You can export connections to an XML file so that you can reuse it later.
You can create additional connections as different users to the same database or to connect to
different databases.

1 2
Creating a Database Connection (continued)

To create a database connection, perform the following steps:
1. On the Connections tabbed page, right-click Connections and select New Connection.
2. In the New/Select Database Connection window, enter the connection name. Enter the
username and password of the schema that you want to connect to.
a) From the Role drop-down box, you can select either default or SYSDBA (you choose
SYSDBA for the sys user or any user with database administrator privileges).
b) You can select the connection type as:
- Basic: In this type, enter the host name and SID for the database that you
want to connect to. Port is already set to 1521. Or you can also choose to
enter the Service name directly if you use a remote database connection.
- TNS: You can select any one of the database aliases imported from the
tnsnames.ora file.
- LDAP: You can look up database services in Oracle Internet Directory,
which is a component of Oracle Identity Management.
- Advanced: You can define a custom Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)
URL to connect to the database.
c) Click Test to ensure that the connection has been set correctly.
d) Click Connect.

Creating a Database Connection (continued)
If you select the Save Password check box, the password is saved to an XML file. So, after
you close the SQL Developer connection and open it again, you are not prompted for the
password.
3. The connection gets added in the Connections Navigator. You can expand the connection to
view the database objects and object definitions, for example, dependencies, details,
statistics, and so on.
Note: From the same New/Select Database Connection window, you can define connections to
non-Oracle data sources using the Access, MySQL, and SQL Server tabs. However, these
connections are read-only connections that enable you to browse objects and data in that data
source.

Browsing Database Objects
Use the Connections Navigator to:
• Browse through many objects in a database schema
• Review the definitions of objects at a glance
C - 10 Copyright © 2010, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

After you create a database connection, you can use the Connections Navigator to browse through
many objects in a database schema, including Tables, Views, Indexes, Packages, Procedures,
Triggers, and Types.
SQL Developer uses the left side for navigation to find and select objects, and the right side to
display information about the selected objects. You can customize many aspects of the appearance
of SQL Developer by setting preferences.
You can see the definition of objects broken into tabs of information that is pulled out of the data
dictionary. For example, if you select a table in the Navigator, the details about columns,
constraints, grants, statistics, triggers, and so on are displayed on an easy-to-read tabbed page.
If you want to see the definition of the EMPLOYEES table as shown in the slide, perform the
following steps:
1. Expand the Connections node in the Connections Navigator.
2. Expand Tables.
3. Click EMPLOYEES. By default, the Columns tab is selected. It shows the column
description of the table. Using the Data tab, you can view the table data and also enter new
rows, update data, and commit these changes to the database.

Displaying the Table Structure
Use the DESCRIBE command to display the structure of a table:
Displaying the Table Structure

In SQL Developer, you can also display the structure of a table using the DESCRIBE command.
The result of the command is a display of column names and data types, as well as an indication
whether a column must contain data.

Browsing Files
Use the Files Navigator to explore the file system and open
system files.

You can use the Files Navigator to browse and open system files.
• To view the Files Navigator, click the Files tab, or select View > Files.
• To view the contents of a file, double-click a file name to display its contents in the SQL
Worksheet area.

Creating a Schema Object
• SQL Developer supports the creation of any schema

object by:
– Executing a SQL statement in SQL Worksheet
– Using the context menu
• Edit the objects by using an edit dialog box or one of the
many context-sensitive menus.
• View the data definition language (DDL) for adjustments
such as creating a new object or editing an existing
schema object.
Creating a Schema Object

SQL Developer supports the creation of any schema object by executing a SQL statement in SQL
Worksheet. Alternatively, you can create objects by using the context menu. When created, you
can edit the objects by using an edit dialog box or one of the many context-sensitive menus.
As new objects are created or existing objects are edited, the DDL for those adjustments is
available for review. An Export DDL option is available if you want to create the full DDL for one
or more objects in the schema.
The slide shows how to create a table by using the context menu. To open a dialog box for
creating a new table, right-click Tables and select New Table. The dialog boxes to create and edit
database objects have multiple tabs, each reflecting a logical grouping of properties for that type
of object.

Creating a New Table: Example
Creating a New Table: Example

In the Create Table dialog box, if you do not select the Advanced check box, you can create a
table quickly by specifying the columns and some frequently used features.
If you select the Advanced check box, the Create Table dialog box changes to one with multiple
options, in which you can specify an extended set of features while you create the table.
The example in the slide shows how to create the DEPENDENTS table by selecting the Advanced
check box.
To create a new table, perform the following steps:
1. In the Connections Navigator, right-click Tables.
2. Select New Table.
3. In the Create Table dialog box, select Advanced.
4. Specify column information.
5. Click OK.
Although it is not required, you should also specify a primary key by using the Primary Key tab in
the dialog box. Sometimes, you may want to edit the table that you created. To do so, right-click
the table in the Connections Navigator and select Edit.

Using the SQL Worksheet
• Use the SQL Worksheet to enter and execute SQL,

PL/SQL, and SQL*Plus statements.
• Specify any actions that can be processed by the database
connection associated with the worksheet.
Click the Open SQL

Select SQL Worksheet Worksheet icon.
from the Tools menu,
or

When you connect to a database, a SQL Worksheet window for that connection automatically
opens. You can use the SQL Worksheet to enter and execute SQL, PL/SQL, and SQL*Plus
statements. The SQL Worksheet supports SQL*Plus statements to a certain extent. However,
SQL*Plus statements that are not supported by the SQL Worksheet are ignored and not passed to
the database.
You can specify the actions that can be processed by the database connection associated with the
worksheet, such as:
• Creating a table
• Inserting data
• Creating and editing a trigger
• Selecting data from a table
• Saving the selected data to a file
You can display a SQL Worksheet by using one of the following:
• Select Tools > SQL Worksheet.
• Click the Open SQL Worksheet icon.

Using the SQL Worksheet (continued)

You may want to use the shortcut keys or icons to perform certain tasks such as executing a SQL
statement, running a script, and viewing the history of SQL statements that you executed. You can
use the SQL Worksheet toolbar that contains icons to perform the following tasks:
1. Execute Statement: Executes the statement where the cursor is located in the Enter SQL
Statement window. You can use bind variables in the SQL statements, but not substitution
variables.
2. Run Script: Executes all statements in the Enter SQL Statement window by using the Script
Runner. You can use substitution variables in the SQL statements, but not bind variables.
3. Commit: Writes any changes to the database and ends the transaction
4. Rollback: Discards any changes to the database, without writing them to the database, and
ends the transaction
5. Cancel: Stops the execution of any statements currently being executed
6. SQL History: Displays a dialog box with information about the SQL statements that you
have executed
7. Execute Explain Plan: Generates the execution plan, which you can see by clicking the
Explain tab
8. Autotrace: Generates trace information for the statement
9. Clear: Erases the statement or statements in the Enter SQL Statement window

• Use the SQL Worksheet to enter and execute SQL,

PL/SQL, and SQL*Plus statements.
• Specify any actions that can be processed by the database
connection associated with the worksheet.
Enter SQL

shown here.
Using the SQL Worksheet (continued)

When you connect to a database, a SQL Worksheet window for that connection automatically
opens. You can use the SQL Worksheet to enter and execute SQL, PL/SQL, and SQL*Plus
statements. All SQL and PL/SQL commands are supported as they are passed directly from the
SQL Worksheet to the Oracle database. But the SQL*Plus commands used in SQL Developer
have to be interpreted by the SQL Worksheet before being passed to the database.
The SQL Worksheet currently supports a number of SQL*Plus commands. However, commands
that are not supported by the SQL Worksheet are ignored and are not sent to the Oracle database.
Through the SQL Worksheet, you can execute SQL statements and some of the SQL*Plus
commands.
You can display a SQL Worksheet by using either of the following two options:
• Select Tools > SQL Worksheet.
• Click the Open SQL Worksheet icon.

Formatting the SQL Code

You may want to beautify the indentation, spacing, capitalization, and line separation of the SQL
code. SQL Developer has a feature for formatting SQL code.
To format the SQL code, right-click in the statement area and select Format SQL.
In the example in the slide, before formatting, the SQL code has the keywords not capitalized and
the statement not properly indented. After formatting, the SQL code is beautified with the
keywords capitalized and the statement properly indented.

Using Snippets
Snippets are code fragments, such as syntax or examples.
When you place your cursor here,

it shows the Snippets window.
From the drop-down list, you can
select the functions category that
you want.
Using Snippets
You may want to use certain code fragments when you use the SQL Worksheet, or create or edit a
PL/SQL function or procedure. SQL Developer has a feature called Snippets, which are code
fragments such as SQL functions, Optimizer hints, and miscellaneous PL/SQL programming
techniques. You can drag Snippets into the Editor window.
To display Snippets, select View > Snippets.
The Snippets window is displayed at the right. You can use the drop-down list to select a group. A
Snippets button is placed in the right window margin, so that you can display the Snippets
window if it becomes hidden.

Using Snippets: Example
Inserting a
Snippet
Editing the
Snippet
Using Snippets: Example

To insert a Snippet into your code in a SQL Worksheet or in a PL/SQL function or procedure, drag
the Snippet from the Snippets window into the desired place in your code. Then you can edit the
syntax so that the SQL function is valid in the current context. To see a brief description of a SQL
function in a tool tip, place the cursor over the function name.
The example in the slide shows that CONCAT(char1, char2)is dragged from the Character
Functions group in the Snippets window. Then the CONCAT function syntax is edited and the rest
of the statement is added as follows:
SELECT CONCAT(first_name, last_name)
FROM employees;

Debugging Procedures and Functions
• Use SQL Developer to debug

PL/SQL functions and
procedures.
• Use the Compile for Debug
option to perform a PL/SQL
compilation so that the
procedure can be debugged.
• Use Debug menu options to set
breakpoints, and to perform step
into and step over tasks.
Debugging Procedures and Functions

In SQL Developer, you can debug PL/SQL procedures and functions. Using the Debug menu
options, you can perform the following debugging tasks:
• Find Execution Point goes to the next execution point.
• Resume continues execution.
• Step Over bypasses the next method and goes to the next statement after the method.
• Step Into goes to the first statement in the next method.
• Step Out leaves the current method and goes to the next statement.
• Step to End of Method goes to the last statement of the current method.
• Pause halts execution but does not exit, thus allowing you to resume execution.
• Terminate halts and exits the execution. You cannot resume execution from this point;
instead, to start running or debugging from the beginning of the function or procedure, click
the Run or Debug icon on the Source tab toolbar.
• Garbage Collection removes invalid objects from the cache in favor of more frequently
accessed and more valid objects.
These options are also available as icons on the debugging toolbar.

Database Reporting
SQL Developer provides a number of predefined reports about

the database and its objects.
Database Reporting
SQL Developer provides many reports about the database and its objects. These reports can be
grouped into the following categories:
• About Your Database reports
• Database Administration reports
• Table reports
• PL/SQL reports
• Security reports
• XML reports
• Jobs reports
• Streams reports
• All Objects reports
• Data Dictionary reports
• User-defined reports
To display reports, click the Reports tab to the left of the window. Individual reports are displayed
in tabbed panes at the right of the window. For each report, you can select (using a drop-down list)
the database connection for which to display the report. For reports about objects, the objects
shown are only those visible to the database user associated with the selected database connection,
and the rows are usually ordered by Owner. You can also create your own user-defined reports.

Creating a User-Defined Report
Create and save user-defined reports for repeated use.
Organize reports in folders.
Creating a User-Defined Report

User-defined reports are reports created by SQL Developer users. To create a user-defined report,
perform the following steps:
1. Right-click the User Defined Reports node under Reports and select Add Report.
2. In the Create Report Dialog box, specify the report name and the SQL query to retrieve
information for the report. Then, click Apply.
In the example in the slide, the report name is specified as emp_sal. An optional description is
provided indicating that the report contains details of employees with salary >= 10000. The
complete SQL statement for retrieving the information to be displayed in the user-defined report is
specified in the SQL box. You can also include an optional tool tip to be displayed when the
cursor hovers over the report name in the Reports navigator display.
You can organize user-defined reports in folders, and you can create a hierarchy of folders and
subfolders. To create a folder for user-defined reports, right-click the User Defined Reports node
or any folder name under that node and select Add Folder. Information about user-defined reports,
including any folders for these reports, is stored in a file named UserReports.xml under the
