Oracle Developer Suite

Encyclopedia : O : OR : ORA : Oracle Developer Suite

Oracle Developer Suite is a suite of development tools released by the Oracle Corporation. The principal components were initially Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports, although the suite was later expanded to include JDeveloper amongst others.

History

In the early 1990's, Oracle had two complementary, but quite different tools - SQL*Forms and SQL*ReportWriter. Both were character-based and there was some integration between the two. The developer interface became more similar over time and they were eventually grouped together as Developer/2000. As with most products that had 2000 in their name, this was dropped after 1999 and the suite was renamed Oracle Developer Suite. Tools such as JDeveloper and Oracle Designer were added over subsequent years.

Most of the component parts of Oracle Developer Suite are now part of what Oracle calls Oracle Fusion Middleware.

Current Status

Oracle Developer Suite 10g consists of the following components:

Oracle JDeveloper
Oracle Forms
Oracle Designer
Oracle Software Configuration Manager
Oracle Reports
Oracle Discoverer
Oracle Warehouse Builder
Oracle Business Intelligence Beans
