New release of Oracle SQL Developer and Data Modeler

Oracle released a new version of the SQL Developer products.
The new versions are:

• Oracle SQL Developer 3.2 (3.2.09.23)
• Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.1.2 (3.1.2.704)

Especially Oracle SQL Developer 3.2 is worth to upgrade (or install if you didn’t use it before). It holds many tweaks and enhancements, but the most important ones are:

• it is ready to make connections to the Oracle Cloud (once this becomes public beta / available)
• it can connect to the Oracle 12c database and use some of the new database features
• it allows you to configure the APEX Listener 2.0 and above
• other smaller, but very useful features I use daily. Jeff did some nice blog posts about it

The release of Data Modeler is more a bug fixes release. If you didn’t use Data Modeler yet, it’s worth to give it a try. You can visualise your ERD, model a new design or synchronise the model with the data dictionary and so much more.
