Oracle is moving SQL Developer development to its VS Code extension, while support for SQL Developer Classic 26.2 ends in April 2027. DbVisualizer gives Oracle users a dedicated desktop database client for SQL editing, database exploration, data editing and work across many different databases.

Keep your database workflow in a dedicated desktop client

If SQL Developer Classic has been part of your daily work, DbVisualizer lets you keep database tasks in a focused desktop application built for developers, DBAs and analysts.

Work with Oracle and more

Use the same application for Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL and many other databases.

Explore database objects

Browse schemas, tables, views, packages, procedures, functions, triggers and other Oracle objects from one interface.

Write and analyze SQL

Use code completion, formatting, scripts, explain plans and result tools to work efficiently with SQL.

EASY SETUP

Keep working with the Oracle databases you know

Move your Oracle workflow to DbVisualizer and keep working with the same databases, schemas and objects in a dedicated database client built for everyday database work.
