Summary
The DBA panel in SQL Developer was born since version 3.0, starting with the Manage Database (Context Menu) option in the Connection pane, then followed by the actual DBA pane in Version 3.1. Since then, this DBA panel has been continuously adding the features that has made this tool helpful for DBAs as well. The support for 12c features is, however, out of scope of this chapter, but definitely the support for Oracle 12c features like redaction, multi-tenant, cloning of pluggable databases, and so on, are great features for this tool and make it truly cloud ready. In the next chapter, we will be discussing more on the SQL developer accessibility information.
