Problem Statement: Oracle Fusion HCM SQL Developer Experience
Currently, developing and validating SQL queries for Oracle Fusion HCM is a highly fragmented and time‑consuming process for developers. SQL code is typically written in external editors such as Notepad++ or similar tools, without any direct connection to Fusion data. Once the query is ready, the developer must log in to Oracle Fusion HCM, create a new Data Model, create a Dataset, paste the SQL code, validate it, and then execute the report to check the output.
If the query does not produce the expected results, the developer must repeat the entire cycle—exit Fusion, modify the SQL in the external editor, return to Fusion HCM, update the dataset, revalidate, and re‑run the report. This repetitive process significantly slows down development, increases context switching, and becomes a major productivity bottleneck for SQL developers.

Proposed Idea / Enhancement Request
Oracle should consider providing a dedicated developer tool or integrated SQL workspace for Oracle Fusion HCM that allows developers to write, execute, and validate SQL queries directly against Fusion data in a controlled development environment. Once the developer is satisfied with the output, the same validated SQL/Data Model should be easily deployable to QA for testing and later promoted to Production, following standard approval workflows.
If such a tool does not already exist, I strongly request Oracle to design and implement this capability natively within the Fusion ecosystem, as it would drastically improve developer productivity, reduce errors, and align Fusion HCM development with modern CI/CD and developer‑first best practices.
