Oracle Application Express
Oracle APEX (Oracle Application Express) is a low-code application development platform developed by Oracle Corporation. APEX is used for developing and deploying cloud, mobile and desktop applications. It has a web-based integrated development environment (IDE) that includes tools such as wizards, drag-and-drop layout builders, and property editors.
APEX is a feature of the Oracle Database. It is a part of the Oracle Cloud within the Autonomous Database Cloud Services and the stand-alone APEX Application Development service.
Oracle APEX has had name changes since its creation in 2000, including:
APEX was created by Oracle developer Michael Hichwa following his earlier project, WebDB. While building an internal web calendar, Hichwa collaborated with fellow Oracle employee Joel Kallman to develop Flows. Together, they co-developed the web calendar, adding features to Flows as they needed them to develop the calendar. Early builds of Flows had no front-end, so all changes to an application were made in SQL Plus via insert, update and delete commands.
With version 5.2, the numbering system was changed to align with the year and quarter of the release, renaming it to 18.1. This change is consistent with Oracle's change in numbering nomenclature.
Oracle APEX is a low-code development platform, a type of environment that can trace their origins to fourth-generation programming languages and rapid application development (RAD) tools.
APEX allows users to build web applications with a "no code" graphical user interface. However, when the requirements are more complex, APEX allows the extension of the low-code objects through a declarative framework. This framework lets the developer define custom logic, business rules, and user interfaces. The developer can do this through the inclusion of SQL, PL/SQL, HTML, JavaScript, or CSS as well as APEX plug-ins.
APEX applications are subject to the same level of application security risks as other web-based applications built on more direct technologies such as PHP, ASP.NET and Java. However, since APEX 4.0, the Application Builder interface has included a utility called Advisor, which provides a basic assessment of an application’s security posture.
