Overview

Oracle APEX is a low-code application-development platform included with Oracle Database. District technology teams can use it to build secure, data-driven web applications, internal portals, forms, dashboards, reports, and workflows around district databases and operational needs.

APEX is a development platform rather than a finished education application, so its value depends entirely on the locally built systems and the staff who maintain them. It can remain under Specialized & Emerging Systems or move to a new Low-Code Development Platforms category.

Features

Low-code application development

• Builds responsive database applications with forms, reports, charts, navigation, validation, and business logic through a declarative environment.
• Developers can extend applications with SQL, PL/SQL, JavaScript, REST, and plug-ins.

Oracle data foundation

• Runs with Oracle Database and can expose or consume supported REST services and external data sources.
• Architecture, licensing, hosting, and support follow the district’s Oracle environment.

Application governance

• Locally built applications require requirements, security review, accessibility testing, source control, documentation, backups, monitoring, and succession planning.
• Catalog records should identify the actual APEX applications a district relies upon.
