Chapter 5. SQL Developer for DBAs

Initially, SQL Developer was considered to be a developer tool that can make the database client connections work with the privileged database objects. Over the years, the Oracle SQL developer tool has been continuously evolving and maturing as a full-fledged product that has largely changed the usage of SQL developer from a user perspective.

One of the major features is the SQL Developer's DBA panel that allows a database administrator to carry out DBA activities with much more ease and supports the 12c database with a multi-tenant architecture and its cloud features fully.
