Can i use my always free instance using SQL Developer desktop?

Hey guys. I hope you're doing great!

I'm currently working in an always-free instance of APEX, so I'm using the web version of the SQL Developer Tool. And it's giving me headaches cause I just can't get the hang of it.

For example, for some reason, some of the queries I run just don't return anything, no errors, no success messages, anything. I've tried checking the roles and privileges given to my development user. Still, even if I try to grant DBA privileges (Using the ADMIN user), it just says that the privileges can't be granted or the role does not exist.

Since I'm using this instance to try a lot of new things, sometimes I need to quickly modify a certain record for testing purposes, but it just says that the update operation has failed, for example.

So I wonder, is there a way for me to connect to my always-free DB using the SQL Developer desktop app?

If there is, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thank you in advance!
