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.

Summary


In this chapter, we reviewed the many aspects of using Data Miner that is integrated with SQL Developer 4.1 and briefly went through its 12c support for the JSON data type. Using this easy-to-use data miner extension, we can quickly create a BI solution by mining out meaningful business intelligence data from a large volume of data. Though the data mining topic is, in itself, a complete source for another book, we are restricting the information provided in this book to the minimal concepts related to data mining that can be explored using SQL Developer 4.1.

The next and final chapter is about working with REST data services and REST development.
