4. Most users only use 10% of the tool.
 Don’t be afraid to right-click and discover new features
 If your current task is hard or boring, SQL Developer can probably help
 If you only use it for querying and exporting to Excel, that’s all it will
ever be
 You can disable features you don’t use to simply the UI
Before you laugh, think about how much of Excel you actually use

 Yes, we’re Java gear-heads
 But we also come from strong Oracle database backgrounds
 SQL Developer IS the de-facto in-house database tool
 Walk around one of our R&D shops, you’ll see us 
 Other Database product teams like Times Ten, Spatial & Graph, Data
Miner, etc. build their own SQL Developer extensions to make their
products more accessible to the SQL Developer user
And large parts of the Database and Cloud offerings too

 Everything you need and then some
 Small orgs, big orgs, rich companies, non-profits all use SQLDev
 We could buy any tool we wanted, instead we built SQLDev – you get
to use it too 
Is SQL Developer really good enough to use as the ‘go to’ tool?
