SQL*Developer now supplied with Oracle 12c

You will never have to search and download SQL*Developer. It's allready supplied in the 12c RDBMS home!

cd $ORACLE_HOME/sqldeveloper
./sqldeveloper.sh

Make sure you run in graphical mode (or use Xming, WinX-32 or something like that).

I found it was very slow on XMing to a remote database on vpn.... so maybe I won't use it much.

[oracle@myhost sqldeveloper]$ pwd
