Exception Handling + APEX_ERROR [Oracle APEX 19.1]
In this post I would like to present a native Oracle APEX package which, in my view, is not very much addressed and I find it quite useful!
Integrating Oracle APEX (18.2) with Microsoft Power BI (Oracle RESTful Data Services)
Lately we can see how much has been spoken of Business Intelligence, the famous BI, and the tools that encompass this world. One of them, well known by signal, is Microsoft's Power BI. Thinking about this and how Oracle APEX has been prominent in the development of web and mobile applications, how could we combine the best of the two? I mean, how could we use Power BI to graphically display data generated in Oracle APEX and bring value to a company's business through its data
Dynamic Actions: Notifications (Alert&Confirm) [Oracle APEX 18.2]
Continuing our series of dynamic action posts, we'll look at how to use the Notifications (Alert&Confirm) in Oracle Application Express (APEX).

Viewing icons in the Interactive Report [APEX 18.1]
Want to display icons instead of data in interactive reports? In this post we will see how easy, practical and beautiful to accomplish this task in Oracle Application Express (APEX). Let's go!

Using SQL row limiting clause
In this post we will see how to limit or omit a set of rows in Oracle using the offset and fetch clauses. In versions prior to Oracle 12c, much use was made of the ROWNUM clause, however, when using it with the ORDER BY clause, the developer might not have the expected return. These new clauses are available from Oracle 12c. We will use as an example, the EMPLOYEES table of schema HR - which in our example will have only 10 records and some columns. Table HR.Employees Offset
Creating a Custom Authentication Schema [APEX 18.1]
In this post we will see how to create a custom authentication scheme in Oracle Application Express (APEX) based on a database table. For this, we will create a user table and a function that will be responsible for validating users who may or may not have access to the system. Note: In this article we will not focus on the security part, password encryption, etc. This article aims to show in a simple way the creation of a custom authentication scheme. Description To build ou
Query an address from a Web Source Module [APEX 18.1]
In this example, we will learn how to create and consume data from a Web Source Module in Oracle Application Express (APEX) 18.1. It is very simple and useful! What is a Web Source Module in Oracle APEX? Web Source Modules allow developers to access REST services or JSON data in applications, enabling the use of this data in APEX components such as interactive reports and forms. Unlike Web Services references, a Web Source Module contains Web Service metadata that can be used
