Ques 3. Can you explain how to install Oracle Application Express(APEX) on an existing database?

There are two ways: On-Premise and Cloud.

On-Premise: The first thing you need to do is download the Oracle Application Express installer from the Oracle website. Once you have the installer, you will need to unzip it and then run the setup.exe file. After accepting the terms and conditions, you will need to choose the installation type. There are two options: using the Oracle Database Express Edition or using an existing Oracle database. If you choose to use an existing database, you will need to provide the hostname, port, and SID of the database. After the installation is complete, you will need to run the configuration script. This will create the necessary tables and users for Oracle Application Express.

Cloud: Open the existing autonomous database in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Open 'All Database Actions' where you can see the 'APEX' option. Click on 'APEX' where it will first ask to login as admin. Once you login, it will ask to create an workspace. Under that workspace, you can create users. Then logout from admin and login as developer user with the created workspace. Once you are logged-in, you can create applications.

Ques 4. Can you explain the difference between shared and local workspaces in Oracle Application Express?

Shared workspaces are those that are accessible to all users of the application, while local workspaces are only accessible to the user who created them. In a shared workspace, all users have the same privileges, while in a local workspace, the creator of the workspace has full control over who can access it and what they can do.

Ques 22. How does APEX Architecture work?

APEX is installed on Oracle database (above 9.2 version), starting from Oracle 11g it comes pre-installed with the database. It is comprised of metadata in tables, pl/SQL code, and extensive JavaScript APIs.
The URL request from the browser is translated into appropriate APEX PL/SQL call by either Oracle HTTP Server (Apache) with mod_plsql plugin or Embedded PL/SQL Gateway. This varies by the type of APEX installation on the oracle database. After the data is processed, results are relayed back to the browser as HTML. This cycle happens each time a user requests or submits a page. The application session state is maintained in database tables.
APEX installation can be done in two ways. DBAs are more concerned about it than developers. But this determines how the URL is translated.

Ques 23. How do I separate development from production environment?

  • Depending on requirements for the availability of the application, the size of the user population, and other factors you can decide how to divide the development environment from the production environment.
  • For certain applications, it is acceptable to combine the development server with the deployment server, as long as the end users understand that sometimes the application is not available.
  • Other applications may require two (development and production) or even three (development, test, and production) servers.
  • In Application Express applications can be moved from environment to environment using an export and import facility for application definitions.
  • With one server available to run the database and Application Express, you can still separate the development version of an application from its production version by using two workspaces accessing separate schemas.
  • In this case, one workspace will be used by developers and the other will be the workspace in which the application is deployed in production. We will add a few more Oracle Apex Interview Questions soon.
