Oracle SQL Developer Web now included in single-instance deployments instead of Oracle DBaaS Monitor	Oracle DBaaS Monitor is being decommissioned in favor of Oracle SQL Developer Web on Database Cloud Service database deployments whose database type is “Single Instance” or “Single Instance with Data Guard Standby”. SQL Developer Web is a new, browser-based application that incorporates features of both Oracle SQL Developer and Oracle DBaaS Monitor. To find out more about it, see Using Oracle SQL Developer Web in Database Cloud Service in Administering Oracle Database Cloud Service. When you create a new database deployment, SQL Developer Web is automatically installed. If you have an older database deployment, you can replace DBaaS Monitor with SQL Developer Web by updating your cloud tooling, as described in Updating the Cloud Tooling on Database Cloud Service in Administering Oracle Database Cloud Service.
