PL/SQL Developer
What is PL/SQL Developer?
PL/SQL Developer is an

Integrated Development Environment that is specifically targeted at the development.

PL/SQL Developer has its focus

on PL/SQL development. But dont underestimate the possibilities of the SQL Command Window.

PL/SQL Developer - installation

System requirements
PL/SQL Developer will run on: Windows all release so far, Mac OS is not supported - but you can run on Virtual Machine like CrossOver more installation info: http://dgielis.blogspot.fr/2010/09/plsql-developer-on-osx.html Linux not support as well - but on a Linux box you can use Wine more info: http://johanlouwers.blogspot.fr/2008/09/plsql-developer-onlinux.html The supported Oracle Server versions are 7.x, 8.x, 8i, 9i, 10g and 11g on any platform. To connect to an Oracle database, PL/SQL Developer requires a 32-bit SQL*Net, Net 8, Net 9, Net 10 or Net 11 version, in other hand it require Oracle Instant Client (32-bit)

PL/SQL Developer - installation

Easy installation? steps (for Windows)
1) Download PL/SQL Developer (9.0.6) from DFS: G:\Applications\AllroundAutomations 2) Run the setup, 3) Download Oracle Instant Client 32-bit version from Oracle site,
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html

4) Unpack it under C:\ProgramFiles\InstantClient, 5) Create directories C:\ProgramFiles\InstantClient\network\admin, 6) Create or past inside above directory tnsnames.ora file, 7) Launch PL/SQL Developer,

PL/SQL Developer first start up

If you started PL/SQL Developer without connecting to DFS, go to: Tools > Preferences > Oracle / Connection

you can select the Oracle Home with the correct TNSNAMES.ORA file.

tnsnames.ora file directory OCI.dll library location

PL/SQL Developer first start up PL/SQL Developer - setup at CERN

We dont need to create additional network/admin directories inside InstantClient directory. Instead of that we can specify location of tnsnames.ora file on DFS: G:\Applications\Oracle\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora

tnsnames.ora file will be always up to date

Benthic - Golden 6.x

Golden 6.x
- Is much more simpler tools that two previous one but still quite handy for SQL statements.

System requirements
- Golden is available only for Windows, however the same like for PL/SQL Developer we can use workaround to install it on MacOS and Linux, - Oracle Instant Client 32-bit is necessary.

DB administrative tools - 45

Benthic - Golden 6.x

Installation steps
- Copy the Instant Client dll's to C:\Oracle - Put C:\Oracle at the beginning of PATH system variable, - Copy tnsnames.ora to C:\Oracle - Add the system variable TNS_ADMIN with a value of C:\Oracle - Set the OCI DLL field of Golden's Login Options window to "C:\Oracle\oci.dll" (you will have to restart Golden after setting this value).

Cherry on the cake

rlwrap - is a 'readline wrapper', a small utility that uses the GNU readline library to allow the editing of keyboard input for any command.

DB administrative tools - 52

rlwrap
Finally something only on Linux - rlwrap compiles and runs on most Unix(-like) systems, including cygwin Installation
gunzip rlwrap*.gz tar -xvf rlwrap*.tar cd rlwrap* ./configure make make check make install

rlwrap
Usage together with SQL*Plus or RMAN
