I strongly recommend PL/SQL-Developer by Allround Automations ( http://www.allroundautomations.nl ). It's much more a development tool than an administrative aid. I don't like the developers to administer the databases or foodle around in the structure of the tables. Tools like SQL/Navigator and TOAD are much too powerful/featureful!

It's quiet cheap. We are using it for 4 years and are really happy with it.

But everything we deliver is strongly SQL+ centered, because installation and upgrade of everything has to be automated. I really like the customer's DBA only to execute a batch, no foodling around!
