Your Server stinks!
Oracle Development Tools

You must upgrade it!

Working with old software versions is a common problem. Therefore server upgrade and consolidation is a necessity. But servers and applications upgrades are a nightmare. This page gives You a rescue! You'll find useful tables with releases, compatibility matrix, upgrade path, suggestions, ... At least I'll try to!

This page contains details on Oracle Development tools not available in the original document and may contain copyrighted material.

Oracle Development Tools 

Oracle Developer is the name of a set of Oracle Development tools.

The relationships between them are complex because Oracle offers many tools and some of they (eg. Forms) 
have a long successful story... and they changed their names and version numbering several times!
