To connect to a database using SQL Developer, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Open the SQL Developer application.
  2. Click on the “New Connection” button on the main interface of SQL Developer. This will open a new connection dialog.
  3. Connection Name: Specify a name for the connection.
  4. Username: Enter the username for the database you want to connect to.
  5. Password: Enter the password for the database you want to connect to.
  6. Host Name: Enter the host name or IP address where your database is located.
  7. Port: The port number for inputting the database (usually the default port number).
  8. SID: Enter the system identifier (SID) of the database you want to connect to.
  9. Click on the “Test” button to allow SQL Developer to test if the connection is successful.
  10. If the connection test is successful, click the “Connect” button to establish a connection with the database.
  11. Now, you can carry out SQL queries and other database operations in SQL Developer.

Please note that the exact steps to connect to the database may vary depending on the type of database you are using (such as Oracle, MySQL, etc.). The steps outlined above are based on the process of connecting to an Oracle database.
