After a while, we can start using the software. No you can create connection to some database". Basically SQL Developer" was created to manage Oracle" Database, but you can install plugins to work with other databases like Hive" for instance.

Based on my experience the Oracle" SQLDeveloper is slow and heavy tool. Rather, I recommend you something lighter and more universal like DBeaver. Using DBeaver" you can easily establish connections to various Databases. When some libraries are missing the DBeaver" will automatically select and download the required libs for you. It is a much lighter tool and more reliable tool than Oracle".
