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

History

[edit]

When the Oracle Relational Database Management System hit the market in 1986 – the first commercially available version was version 4 – it comprised already SQL*Forms, which was one of the first Fourth Generation Language (4GL) products marketed as such. In the early 1990s, Oracle then had two complementary tools:

  • SQL*Forms, used to develop data entry
  • SQL*ReportWriter, used for developer reports

Both tools were character-based and there was some integration between the two although they were sold as separate products. The developer interface became more similar over time and they were eventually bundled together as a single product named Oracle CDE (Cooperative Development Environment).

The suite was later renamed to Oracle Developer and later 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 were added over subsequent years.

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

Components

[edit]

The name of the suite has been changed a few times. The software components that are included in the suite have also been renamed over time.
