Overview of this book

At times, DBAs support 100s of databases at work. In such scenarios, using a command-line tool like putty adds to the difficulty, while SQL Developer makes the life of a developer, DBA, or DB architect easier by providing a graphical user interface equipped with features that can bolster and enhance the user experience and boost efficiency. Features such as DBA panel, Reports, Data Modeler, and Data Miner are just a few examples of its rich features, and its support for APEX, REST Services, timesten, and third-party database drivers demonstrate its extensibility. You may be a newbie to databases or a seasoned database expert, either way this book will help you understand the database structure and the different types of objects that organize enterprise data in an efficient manner. This book introduces the features of the SQL Developer 4.1 tool in an incremental fashion, starting with installing them, making the database connections, and using the different panels. By sequentially walking through the steps in each chapter, you will quickly master SQL Developer 4.1.

Chapter 6. SQL Developer Accessibility

SQL Developer has a Connections node for establishing a database session with the target database. The connections may be either newly created or an imported and existing connection that we already had in the previous version of SQL Developer. To create a new database connection, right-click on the Connections node and select New Database Connection. You can also connect to schemas for MySQL, TimesTen, and Hive, as well as some select third-party (non-Oracle) databases, such as Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase Adaptive Server, and IBM DB2, to view metadata and data. However, providing details on such third-party database connections are out of scope of this book. The existing connections are always displayed in the connections pane automatically every time the SQL Developer is started. This list of existing connections is fetched from either tnsnames.ora file (if it exists); otherwise, the connections information is stored in a connections.xml...
