SQL Developer 3.0 demonstrated at OOW

The SQL Developer development team is at the demo pod in Moscone West and has been busy showing off the latest (yet to be released) version of SQL Developer. SQL Developer 3 features an all new graphical query builder, a scheduler interface, data import wizards, improved data grids, basic DBA functionality, improved migration capabilities, and an alternative to the tree based object navigator with a client side filter. If you are at Oracle World and want to meet the developers you should stop by the demo pods.

Oracle BI Publisher 11g

Oracle open world (OOW) is great opportunity catch up on new database and database tools technologies. Yesterday, my highlight was seeing an in-depth presentation of Oracle BI Publisher 11g. I was blown away by the clean and remarkably advanced browser based user interface. The ability to define pixel perfect reports both for online viewing and PDF combining data from multiple queries was very impressive. When you view a BI publisher report online, its not just a static report with beautiful charts, end users can filter and drill down and interact with the report output with outstanding performance. Oracle BI publisher is a great complement to Oracle APEX, in that it can build any report you want, and like APEX it's 100% browser based; and yes it works on the iPad as well.

If you are at OOW you can checkout a presentation today Wednesday here:

11:30 am - 12:30 pm S317933: Introduction to Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher
