This document summarizes a presentation on using SQL Developer for database administration tasks. It discusses features like the DBA Navigator, Data Pump import and export, RMAN backup and recovery, security configuration, SQL tuning, reporting, and new features in Oracle Database 12c like pluggable databases. The presentation provides an overview of how SQL Developer can simplify common DBA tasks through a graphical user interface and automation of SQL commands.
