Developer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Has consistently supported long-term projects with reliable performance and team collaboration
With Oracle products, I have extensive experience, particularly with the database. I am familiar with DB2, which is IBM, and also I'm familiar with Postgres and other database products. I am using Exadata, which is a hardware and software platform. That's the back-end hardware platform. I'm basically using PL/SQL, which is the main product that I'm using all the time. I am using Oracle SQL Developer very extensively. With version control, you're basically working on multiple products, and the integration is good for sharing code, and it provides good facilities for team collaboration. I am not using the automated SQL tuning features, but I have extensively used the explain plan tool which is available in Oracle SQL Developer for performance enhancement. Oracle SQL Developer is a wonderful tool for ad hoc reports. You can quickly develop underlying code, run it, and create a report that you can format as well, outputting in Excel or any other format, in text or CSV format, which you can push to other tools for further processing or transmit it. We are end users, not partners or resellers with the product. I rate Oracle SQL Developer a 9 out of 10.
