In SQL Developer, one of the most important navigation windows is the Connections window pane. This is the window where we have all our predefined database connections.

Another important fixed window after making database connections is the SQL Worksheet window. The SQL Worksheet provides a scratch pad for all SQL, PL/SQL, and SQL*Plus statements and commands. You can run individual statements or a collection of commands. You can also run scripts and execute PL/SQL. In essence, you can do all you might do in a command-line interface like SQL*Plus.

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.
