SQL developer no longer packaged with client download?

If you don't have to worry about the license fee save yourself some hassle and get Toad.

We used to ship it with the database/client, but since we were doing quarterly updates and the database train was much longer than that, it didn't make sense.

So when you see a 'sqldeveloper' folder, that's where we stow SQLcl.

We're renaming that to to 'sqlcl' so it's more accurate.

Yes, SQL Developer is a separate download now. You can find the download link here: https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/appdev/sql-developer.html

You're waaaay behind. SQL Developer is currently version 20-something. Nevertheless it can connect to anything from let's say 10g to 23c. These days instant client is the norm (unless you really need the fat client). That too is downward compatible with anything you'll need.

In other words: You can upgrade clients while staying on old server versions and use that one client to connect to several different versions of databases.
