Tools can be useful for increasing productivity while developing code. They oftentimes allow you to take shortcuts when coding by providing templates to start from or by providing autocompletion as words are typed. A good development tool can also be useful by incorporating several different utilities and functions into one development environment. Oracle SQL Developer is no exception, because it provides functionality for database administrators and PL/SQL developers alike. Functionalities include creating database tables, importing and exporting data, managing and administering multiple databases, and using robust PL/SQL development tools.
