Open SQL Developer from command line with parameters (connectstring, user, passwort...)

Question

is it possible, to open the Oracle SQL Developer 4 from command-line with parameters (e.g. Connectstring, SID, Host, user, password, ...)?

I want to run it out from KeePass and i want to handover these parameters to access the database.

Thanks.

Wouldn't using the SQLPlus command line interface be the better choice in that case? — Filburt

Okay, it sounded like you were going for some automated process rather than something that actually requires a GUI. — Filburt

No, that's not possible with SQL Developer (the GUI), but our command-line interface, SQLcl does support that.
