How Do I Access SQL Developer Web

 Introduction

SQL Developer Web is a browser-based tool available within Oracle APEX environments, especially for Autonomous Databases (ADB) and some on-premises setups with Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) enabled. It allows developers and administrators to work with database objects, run SQL commands, monitor performance, and manage users—all from a modern web interface without installing any desktop software.

Whether you're working in Oracle APEX Service, Autonomous Database, or a local ORDS-enabled instance, accessing SQL Developer Web is fast, secure, and efficient. This blog will guide you through the steps to access SQL Developer Web and start working with your database online.
