Oracle Application Express (Apex) is a rapid web application development tool that allows users to build applications entirely within an Oracle database using only a web browser. It provides wizards to help develop forms, reports, charts and spreadsheets. Apex applications are highly performant and scalable as they reside within the database. It uses a multi-tenant architecture where developers work within a dedicated workspace to develop applications against database schemas. Apex includes components for application building, SQL development, team collaboration and administration.

Editor's Notes
- #8: 3.1.2 built into Oracle Audit Vault 10.2.3 as their complete reporting solution. Instead of hundreds of static reports AV team developed small number of Interactive Reports and allow customers to customize the information. Audit Vault useful to APEX development team as helped prove the functionality and scalability provided with Interactive Reports. 3.2 introduced Forms Conversion. Even if not interested in converting from Oracle Forms to APEX should still upgrade ASAP due to the many enhanced security features 4.0 currently scheduled for end of calendar year 2009 – Statement of Direction provides latest list of planned features
- #9: APEX is effectively a 2-Tier architecture where the client (a simple Web browser) talks through to the APEX Engine which resides in the Oracle DB Given the fact it resides in the Oracle Db it can be installed into any edition and any version of the Oracle DB 9iR2 and above SE, SE1, or EE and Oracle XE. The APEX Engine serves HTML pages and processes page submissions based on the meta data stored in tables within the DB Communication between the browser and database can be configured using the APEX Listener (Soon to be released), Embedded PL/SQL Gateway (EPG) which is part of the DB, or Apache and mod_plsql. Oracle Application Express Listener The Oracle Application Express Listener is a Java based alternative to Apache mod_plsql. The Oracle Application Express listener is supported to run on Oracle WebLogic Server and OC4J.

- #11: APEX Engine resides in the Oracle DB Application Express engine renders pages dynamically in real time from the data contained within the Oracle Application Express metadata repository. When the application is run, the Oracle Application Express engine then reads the metadata and displays the requested page or processes page submissions. Oracle Application Express transparently manages session state in the database. Application developers can get and set session state using simple substitutions as well as standard SQL bind variable syntax.
