Hey Folks
Sue Harper is about to release a book on SQL Developer with PacktPublishing.
Btw---and another shameless plug..they are the same publisher who did our book on Modernization
Anyway, back to Susan's book. This is good stuff. With more folks getting their knowledge on with SQL Developer will enable more and more migrations...which is good.
Here are the highlights...(taken from the publisher's site)
* Build complex queries based on a number of tables using visual Query Builder
* Assess the health of your database, data structure of your application, and data in that application with built-in as well as user-defined reports
* Create, compile, and debug PL/SQL code and explore some useful features available to facilitate writing PL/SQL code
* Integrate your SQL Developer with open source version control systems CVS and Subversion, which allow checking out of files from a repository, editing, and checking them back in
* Enter and execute your SQL, PL/SQL, and SQL*Plus statements with the SQL Worksheet interface
* Produce easily replicable scripts that copy and move data from one database instance to another, or from one schema to another
* Create advanced database connections using a variety of connection and authentication types available for Oracle as well as non-Oracle databases
* Create, review, and update database schema designs with SQL Developer Data Modeler
* Augment your environment with features that are specific to your needs by extending your SQL Developer with XML structured user-defined extensions
* Monitor and manage your Application Express applications by integrating with SQL Developer
* Set up an easy and quick migration environment for your database schema by using the migration repository
* Browse and review non-Oracle databases, before using the migration environment to migrate and consolidate databases on the Oracle platform
Anyway...go pre-order!
