If you’ve downloaded the 64 bit windows version with the JDK bundled, you’re all set. Just extract the folder, then find the ‘sqldeveloper.exe’ in the top directory, and run it. It’s an archive, not an installer.Īfter you’ve downloaded SQL Developer, there’s no installer to run. If you HAVE to use Java 6 or 7, you’ll have to grab an older version of SQL Developer, sorry. You can run Java 9, but you’re on your own for the moment.
The name is ‘8’, but the version is ‘1.8.’ We develop, test, and support SQL Developer for 1.8. Many versions of Java out there – 7, 8, and 9 are the most common. The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is a smaller and less powerful ‘go box’ for Java applications, but SQL Developer relies on some of the libraries included only in the JDK – so get the JDK! I call it the ‘Toolkit’, but it’s just a ‘Kit,’ but not THAT K.I.T.T. If you’ve ever seen that funny icon popup in your system tray while running apps over a website, that’s probably java. To run it requires the Java Virtual Machine – this is the ‘go box’ for java applications. Otherwise, if you’re on Windows 64 bit OS, you can simply download this version of SQL Developer: Windows 64-bit with JDK 8 included. If you have a 32 bit Windows machine, you’ll need to download the 32bit 1.8 JDK first. The hardest part is the first step – picking your download and waiting. I realize many of you have connections that are both slower and faster, so keep that in mind when I make my ‘5 minute’ claim.
That’s a pretty big claim, and I reckon I should back that up now.ĭisclaimer: I have a hi-speed residential network connection that was averaging 15.93Mbps this morning. I’ve been telling anyone who will listen than you can get up and running with SQL Developer in under 5 minutes.

I can’t think of a better place to start than with how to ‘install’ SQL Developer. I want to spend some time in the next few weeks helping the beginners out there. Many of my recent posts have been on advanced topics, hidden tricks, and productivity tips. It’s easy to forget that many people still have not discovered SQL Developer, or are just getting started.
