Using an Oracle SQL
database and client management software enables database developers, SQL BI
users, and DBAs to create and manage Oracle databases easily. There are many
different kinds of Oracle database query tools you can use, and some of the
best ones enable you to perform tasks online through a web browser. This way,
you do not have to install any client on your desktop or laptop. Here are the
top 10 things to look for in an Oracle database query tool:
1. Online data browser – Choose an Oracle database query tool that supports full
database browsing capabilities online. This way, you can easily view table
data, count the total number of rows in a table, and filter data.
2.
Export and import tools – A good query tool must
let you export table data into HTML, CSV, PDF, and insert formats. Likewise, it
must be capable of importing csv data directly to tables.
3. Data editor – It should be easy to
make, update, delete, and insert data, as well as blob or update clob data.
4.
Index client tool – Oracle table indexes are
useful when searching data in a table. Look for a database query tool that lets
you view index details such as index type, uniqueness, columns, tablespace
name, and statistics.
5.
Column manager – This feature lets you
view Oracle table column details, add new columns, and change table columns.
6.
Web-based constraints manager – Constraints are rules
that are enforced on a table’s data columns. An Oracle database query must let
you view details on table constraints, like the status, type, name, and
columns, and it should let you perform tasks related to them.
7. Database trigger manager – The triggers are executed
when a delete, update, or insert statement is issued against the table. They
are stored procedures, too. With a trigger manager, you should be able to view
the details and perform tasks like drop, enable or disable, and add new after
or before events.
8. Data
file manager – Look for an Oracle database query tool that
will make it easy to manage and monitor data files with graphs. It should
display the location of a data file, provide auto extensible information, and
let you view and alter files.
9.
Database monitoring and session manager
tool – This advanced feature lets you kill
database sessions or stop or start the trace. Likewise, it can filter session
data, so you can see only those that are active. A web-based user interface
makes it easier to troubleshoot issues, which are related to the session.
10.
Report builder – Reporting tools are
important, but be sure the reports can be created in different formats that are
easy to store, like CSV, Excel, and PDF.
