I have a question about SQL developer – I have a need to connect to DB2 for data extract or just to browse DB2 tables. Is this possible from to do this from SQL Developer? If so, how can this be setup? If not what are my options or alternatives to access DB2 from SQL Developer?
Any and all assistance will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

I want to copy tables from a postgreSQL schema to Snowflake (including data). What's the easiest way to do this?
My postgreSQL database lives in AWS RDS.
I went through this a couple of months ago and will share what I learned.
Snowflake does not recognize psql so a psql export/import will not work.
The recommendation I received from support was to export the tables as csv files, recreate the DDL, and then stage the csv files in S3.
There are third party tools that help connect and sync Postgres databases to Snowflake. Stitch being the one my group looked at.
So you can write your own integration or use Stitch to connect the two. There could be a more effective way to do this but if you are moving a large database over, I am afraid there is not an easy way to do this. That said, it is not terribly difficult but will take time to move everything over. Hope that helps!
Please check out the following community article which explains the steps to migrate.

This is from one of the Snowflake partners who provides the tools to migrate the data.
it's been 2 months I'm working for a new client on BI Reporting on Oracle BI Publisher within an OracleCloud CRM and HCM. to make query to OracleCloud database I have to use notepad++ and then copy/past my query in the Query textArea on BIPublisher (which is a simple text area without any syntaxe check or color), I was wondering if there are some experts who might know a way to connect SQL Developer to OracleCloud database so I can run my queries directly without copy/past on the browser.
thank you a lot
There's no direct access to the underlying Oracle Database from your SaaS subscription.
We (the SQL Developer team) are working with a few of the SaaS business owners to make SQL Developer Web available for their subscribers. This would allow you to run queries directly against your database w/o having to do the copy/paste jump you're doing today in BI Publisher.
I cannot provide guidance on when this will happen or even if your particular services will make it available.
The TL;DR answer to your question is 'No, but we are working on it'
We have a bespoke column based database which we access progamatically using its ADO.NET driver which we wrote in-house. However a colleague wants to use Excel etc to access this database using ODBC.
I expected to find some form of connector to provide an ODBC connection over an ADO.NET datasource (or some config in the ODBC) but I can't find anything.
I know this is using a new tech to connect to a much older one, but its what they want! So if anybody knows of a way to do this it would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Sounds like you've created a ADO.NET driver first, as opposed to an ODBC driver first. This sounds a little crazy as everyone knows you can access ODBC driver from ADO/NET but not the other way round.
ODBC is actually a much better interface and used by far more applications, is you question actually correct??
I have been working with Microsoft SQL Server since 6.5 along with other database like Oracle, MySQL and SQLite. I equally appreciate or hate all these DBMS for some point or the other.
On our forthcoming project, we are considering Postgres in the back-end. I have already started playing with it, pretty interesting for me.
I have always heard good comments on Postgres database, but I don't like the admin studio at all. While creating new a table, I hate the way of creating columns on pgAdmin by having to click add button again and again.
Are there any "Studios" for Postgres database that provide
more organized table creation process (spreadsheet like)
graphical view designer
What's wrong with plain SQL? Writing plain SQL goes much faster than click-wait-click-wait-type-click-wait-ok-wait. You could use any tool for this, pgAdmin as well.
Open Office Base can also connect with PostgreSQL, works like MS Access. And talking about MS Access, MS Access can also connect to PostgreSQL to create tables, views, etc.
See this official list of Administration/Development tools.
EMS SQL Manager seems to be a good option.
for the graphical view of SQL queries
maybe SQLeo can Help
Does anybody know of a web based something that would allow end users to interact (change selection) for an OLAP cube on DB2
I've tried DB2 AlphaBlox once. Check that out.
