About Feature Requests

Features requested here are not guaranteed to be implemented.
The Product Development team will be using these requests to assist in deciding the product direction. You can submit requests for SQL Developer or SQL Developer Data Modeler. Use the product drop list to specify the product when adding your new request.

Do not log bugs here. This is for new functionality to be implemented. Use the SQL Developer Forum for discussions and queries and Metalink for bug reports.

Before logging a new feature, please search to see if it has already been logged. We judge features by accumulated votes and adding duplicates waters this down. To vote on a feature, click the edit icon to the left. Once a feature status has been updated, you can also see the feedback from the team by editing the feature.
For more information on working with the interactive reports and the status definitions see the following SQL Developer Exchange blog entry.
