I'm looking for an Oracle database management tool like sql server management studio.
I've searched the internet and found a lot of tools on the following link:
http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Search/oracle.html.
But I don't know which one is better.
I need a stable and easy-to-use GUI tool for working on windows.
The best free ones are (in no particular order)
SQL Developer
TOra
TOAD
Oracle Enterprise Manager (parts are included in the licence)
Eclipse plugin - SQL Explorer
The best commercial ones are (in no particular order)
TOAD
DBArtisan
Oracle Enterprise Manager
PL/SQL Developer
My shop uses an open-source Eclipse plugin called SQL Explorer: http://eclipsesql.sourceforge.net/ It has good stuff for examining schemata; it integrates with your source code control system; it works on other database table servers too.
We also use a commercial tool called PL/SQL Developer: http://www.allroundautomations.com/plsqldev.html
This tool has a "SQL Beautifier" which can tidy up some of the hairiest queries you can imagine. In tidying them up, it helps the one writing the query find typos. It also has a context menu that will do "EXPLAIN PLAN" on a query that's already running, and a way to stop a running query. Those are incredibly handy tools.
Carpenteri mentioned Oracle Enterprise Manager. That comes with your Oracle thick client. I find it helpful for getting an instance-wide view of what's going on in your server.
If you are looking for a system management tool for your Oracle database it is worth looking at the Oracle Enterprise Manager
You could use a combination of some tools like SQL Developer, SQLTools and Aqua Data Studio

We would like to move into the CI direction and face the following situation. We have a Linux based SVN server hosted by another team. We are a small .Net software team and would like to run automatic unit and integration tests over night and get feedback in the morning. Which (cheap) options do we have in this situation? Any feedback would be very much appreciated.
It doesn't matter where your SVN server is hosted.
SVN server provides you a platform-agnostic way to communicate with it.
So you are able to use either CI server you prefer.
If you want to get it for free, I'd recommend to use Team City (free version is limited in some ways but it will be definitely enough if your team is small).
You can host your Team City on any server you control and setup connection to SVN via URL.
As for window based automatic build I recommend the following below:
Jenkins - It has a lot of plugins. Easy to manage, install and configure.
CruiseControl.net - It is great as well and highly configurable. In my opinion it does have a big learning curve but it is worth the learning.
RedGate Deployment Manager - This one looks promising. I have not used it however I have always been a fan of RedGate products. RedGate always deliver fully polished products.

I'm just starting to learn Oracle SQL Developer as I develop PL/SQL code at my new job, and while it's an okay tool, it lacks a lot of the conveniences and features that you'd want when writing programs using a different IDE (such as IDEA).
Is there a different tool out there that really assists when building large packages/procedures/functions of PL/SQL code compared to Oracle's SQL developer 3? It would be great to get features like code completion, or to have the ability to CTRL-click a procedure name to quickly jump to a piece of code, and other nice features of this type?
PL/SQL Developer by AllroundAutomations its really good one. Provides all the basic features that other tools provides. And very good while debugging your stored procedures, functions and triggers. But it is also a licensed version. There are no. of add-ons are available which makes tool more powerful and You can customize your Plsql developer as shown in following links.
here and here
I think Oracle SQL Developer is okay to develop PL/SQL code, It is a free software produced by Oracle org, it might lack of some specific features. but it satisfies most of common usages and functionality.
Toad is a more powerful tool with very widely used. but you need get a license.
PL/SQL developer was interesting to try out a couple years ago, but I'm always finding myself doing a decent amount of DBA type work, and it wasn't very helpful with that.
My DBA skills are not particularly strong, so that area, Toad and SQL Developer definitely come out ahead.
Overall, I prefer Toad (though it can be a resource hog, and getting everything working the way you want can be a pain). There's different versions (one specifically for developers) so one of those might suit you.
I recently started a new job, and decided to give SQL Developer a run (this is primarily because Toad is expensive enough that some places won't spend the money on it...like my last job...so it seemed like a good idea to pick a tool I knew I'd have everywhere). It certainly has its issues (it seems to be rather stubborn about breaking a connection if a query is running...but its possible thats a java thing), but it is free, lightweight, and gets the job done.
A note on Toad: At this point (possibly for the forseeable future) is strictly a 32-bit app. It'll run on a 64-bit windows box and connect to a 64-bit Oracle database, but the Oracle client must be 32-bit

Oracle SQL Developer is a free tool from Oracle.
SQuirreL SQL is a java based client that can connect to any database that uses JDBC drivers.
I'm sure there are others out there that you could use too...
Oracle SQL Developer
you can always use the web based management tool that comes with oracle express db.. have tried using it? you can access it through http://host:port/apex if i remember correctly...
Alternative solutions are Oracle SQL Developer, TOAD etc...
SQLTools is an almost fully functional and free Oracle GUI:
http://www.sqltools.net/
You could try this: it's a very good tool, very fast and effective.
http://code.google.com/p/oracle-gui/
Try this : https://code.google.com/p/oracle-gui/
Haven't used it yet, but looks good though.
Try odbTools at http://odbtools.software.informer.com - it is free.

I have a new project working with an existing oracle database. I've always been a SQLServer guy, so first time with Oracle.
Any recommendations for a SQLServer Management Studio type app for Oracle?
I would start with Oracle SQL Developer. It's a client app so you can see your tables, run queries, etc. It's free, fast and will get you started.
(It's not as good as toad, of course)
toad
You can also use pl/sql developer: http://www.allroundautomations.com/plsqldev.html?gclid=CJLCqNrIz5kCFYQ-3godM3Pmug
I personally like Toad the best but I know many people who prefer SQL Developer. Definite pros and cons to both but like a lot of things it comes down to what you are used to. I haven't used the freeware version of Toad much but I've heard it's somewhat lacking. In my opinion, if you have money to spend go with Toad, if you are looking for something for free go with SQL Developer.

I currently work with an Oracle database and we use stored procedures for all our SQL queries. The problem I have is that we do not really having a coding standard for our packages. So what happens is that every developer has a different style (or in some cases no sense of style) in how they format there packages. Making them difficult to read and work on with out first reformatting. We all pretty much just use Notepad or Notepad2 to write our packages.
I am unfortunately not in a position to mandate a coding standard and enforce it (just a code monkey at this point) so I was hoping to find a free SQL code formatter that I can use myself, and possibly suggest to others on the team to use, to make my life easier.
I have considered writing a small application that would essentially take a file as input and reformat everything, but before I did this I figured I would ask if anyone new of such a tool that is already available and is free.
So does anyone now of any such tools available?
There is a free one online sqlformatter, also SQLinForm, personally i use TOAD and have done since before it was bought by Quest (10 years?)
VIM script
Aqua Data studio $ I use this one all the time.
I like TOAD for Oracle. It has a format feature that's decent. I see there's a freeware version, though I have not used it.
Toad for Oracle
nicest, most mature
$$$
http://www.toadsoft.com
Toad for Oracle, free version
free
this will do what you want
limitations are related to number of connections, size of data mods, etc.
http://www.toadsoft.com
Oracle SQL Developer (up and coming, free!)
free
from Oracle
cross platform

I had the exact same experience from Day One working with Oracle stored procedures - "I have to use NOTEPAD?! Oh HELL no."
So I hopped on the internets and what I found were people saying "Hey, I have to create stored procedures in Oracle, isn't there anything better than NOTEPAD?!"
And the canonical answer was: "Download TOAD, you'll be glad you did". So I followed their advice, was very happy with it, and I'm pleased (if a bit amazed) to see it is still a popular answer.
