About Oracle APEX
Oracle Application Express is Oracle’s browser-based Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool for the Oracle Database. With just a web browser and limited programming experience, APEX users can develop and deploy fast, secure, web-based applications that access a single database.
APEX combines the qualities of a personal database — productivity, ease of use, and flexibility — with those of an enterprise database — security, integrity, scalability, availability and web-deployability. APEX:
- replaces a patchwork of spreadsheets and unsecured personal databases like MS Access with web-based applications accessing a single repository of secure, standardized data;
- allows end-users to manipulate data easily from within customized applications;
- gives developers and IT personnel control over access to corporate data for security and data integrity;
- provides a fully scalable enterprise-level solution that can seamlessly scale up to terabyte-sized application stores with thousands of users.
Since APEX development is declarative, even users with limited programming experience can quickly build applications, including rapid spreadsheet webification and reporting applications. APEX also supports programming interfaces (APIs), so seasoned developers can interface with all available resources to create sophisticated, secure applications.
Best of all, APEX is free to anyone running an Oracle Database. Starting with Oracle 11g it comes pre-installed; it’s available as an option for Oracle Database versions 9.2 and above — including the no-cost, fully deployable Oracle Express Edition (XE).
