Oracle APEX
Low-code platform from Oracle for building and deploying data-driven web applications inside an Oracle Database.
www.oracle.com/apex/repositorydocs
Oracle APEX is a low-code platform for building and deploying data-driven web applications. Applications are generated from metadata stored in an Oracle Database, and the platform runs inside that database. Oracle REST Data Services, a Java-based web server, sits in front of it and maps browser requests to the APEX engine in the database. Developers and end users reach the same installation through a browser, with no client software to install.
Worth knowing
A self-managed installation needs an Oracle Database release that the install requirements name, plus Oracle REST Data Services at the version the same page lists. The product page says APEX is included at no additional cost with supported editions of the Oracle Database, and the architecture page notes that Oracle WebLogic Server, if used as the web server, carries licensing costs.
