In the latest Application Express release 19.1, the Data Loading component in SQL Workshop has been dramatically improved. Not only CSV files, but also JSON, XML and XLSX files can be loaded into tables in the APEX workspace. However, some readers might already have noticed, that the new Data Loading wizard can only load into new tables. To accommodate SQL Workshop users needing to load data into existing tables, the functionality from previous APEX versions is still...

by Andreea Dobre, Oracle Romania in Bucharest, and Carsten Czarski, Oracle Application Express Development team. One of the new features of Application Express 19.1 is the new Data Loading wizard, which already has been introduced in the Quick and Easy Data Loading with APEX 19.1 blog posting. But there is more than the new wizard in SQL Workshop - the new APEX_DATA_PARSER PL/SQL package provides a nice and easy developer interface to parse files. The APEX_DATA_PARSER...

Starting with APEX 18.1, some significant changes where introduced on how APEX components (report, charts, calendar and others) get data. In earlier versions, each component generated their own SQL query. That was fine as long as APEX only worked with data in the local database. However, with the requirement to support external data sources like REST (Web Source Modules) or REST Enabled SQL, components cannot generate their own SQL any more. An example: End users view an...

by Andreea Dobre, Oracle Romania in Bucharest In the first Web Source Modules and the Interactive Grid blog post, Interactive Grid was built on top of a Web Source Module by using customized PL/SQL code to process two DML operations: GET and POST. The blog posting covered the following steps: REST enabling of the EMP table using ORDS Creating Web Source Module using the REST endpoint Customize the GET and POST operations in order to retrieve data and insert new records within...

Uploading XLSX files is a very common requirement these days. Application Express at this time only supports uploading CSV files out of the box. The community provides quite a few blog postings and also plug-ins; most of these store the data into a collection, which makes it hard to parse an XLSX outside of an APEX context, e.g. in the background using a scheduler job. This blog posting shows a method to parse XLSX files with only SQL and PL/SQL. The actual work will be done...

In the first blog posting about REST Services in Application Express 5.2 Early Adopter you learned, how an external REST Service is being registered as a Web Source Module in Shared Components and then being used as the data source for a Classic Report. In this posting, another REST Service is being registered, we'll add another report to the application page and finally link both reports. The second REST Service will also be an Github API endpoint: ...

Since December 2017, Application Express 5.2 Early Adopter 1 is available. One of the new features in APEX 5.2 will be declarative support for REST Services in Application Express components - that means, developers will be able to create a component, like an interactive report, directly on an external REST service. This tutorial walks you through that new feature, by creating some APEX pages reporting on the GitHub REST API. You can try these out on the Application Express...

One of the new features of Application Express 5.2 is the ability to execute SQL not only in the "local" Oracle database (where APEX runs in), but also on a remote Oracle instance. This is based on the new REST Enabled SQL feature introduced with ORDS 17.4. When the REST Enabled SQL feature is active on an ORDS instance, SQL statements can be passed in JSON format using HTTP POST requests. Execution results are being passed back as a self-describing JSON response. Clients...
