5 Cool database features exposed in APEX applications - Anton Nielsen

APEX is a fantastic tool for rapidly developing compelling user interfaces, but APEX's real power comes from its ability to easily expose the ever expanding feature set of the Oracle database. This presentation will highlight (and combine) a few new and old "cool" features of Oracle, exposed via APEX. Some possibilities include Oracle Text, Virtual Private Database, owa_util, util_inaddr, utl_http, External Tables (with Hadoop!), Redaction Policies, Flashback, SQL Analytics, SQL Pattern Matching, Spatial, SQL Sudoku...the list goes on and on.
