Welcome to the unOfficial Apex (Oracle Application Express) Wiki

Introduction

Oracle Application Express (Apex) is the new name for HTMLDB. Note that all the examples have been changed to use 'Apex' rather than 'Htmldb', as such some of them may not work with your existing setup, in which case substituting htmldb should work

This website is a resource of ideas and thoughts on how to enhance, integrate with external systems, and administer Oracle's Apex product.

Our intention is to complement Oracle's existing Apex website, covering different aspects of Apex.

The two second tutorial for editing the wiki

Only registered users can edit or create a wiki page.

Linking is controlled by using a 2 word camel case string so typing in ThemeCategory into a wiki entry will automatically create a link to that category. If the category is not present clicking that link will create it and direct you to the edit page.

On the top of the edit page there is a Show formatting help toggle it has the basic formating commands shown.

Content is more important than formating don't sweat the formating it can be fixed later

Recognition to Author/s of Individual Sections and Elements

If you make a section (or element) with a page, place your name (with Main infront of it to link to your username) and the day (DD MMM YYYY) in italics after it.

For example:

_Author: Main.ColinSheppard - 08 Dec 2005_

(You can cut and paste this from the text box below the editing Text Area: "Your signature to copy/paste:")

With the link of this detail, a user can email to the person whose entry is being editing or simply wants to make a comment. Notifying them of any edited change is considered good form and etiquette.

See Wikiquette A general guide for Wiki etiquette.
