I have a requirement to login to ORACLE DB with pre-entered username and password, I am using SQLdeveloper tool to connect to Oracle.

When I launch sqldeveloper.exe it must directly connect me to the Oracle database. What process arguments should I pass with this process?

I have tried

CMD>sqldeveloper.exe Username/Password@server:port:Service

Instead of connecting to the database, it opens worksheets in the tool, like for the above example it opens worksheets like username, password etc...

It launches Sqldeveloper tool but do not connects to the database

while I am able to connect through the command line using

CMD>sql.exe Username/Password@server:port:Service

To my knowledge that facility does not exist, with the exception of using the command line tool SQLcl.

I will ask the SQL Dev people and come back with more information if I can get it.
