Still no functionality in VS Code for the scheduler

Thanks for that. Improving metadata is something I’ve been planning as I assume it could give more context to LLM’s. I know some tooling show the comments, but what plans are there to make these annotations visible in day SQL Developer for VS Code or APEX?

OMG finally! I had my doubts it would ever be offered outside Oracle cloud. Thank you for the update!

Hm cool I will definitely try that out. I wonder how simple it is to add the APEX documentation. Or for that matter, other software systems.

Wow that’s lame!

Why even bother creating AI content, when it will mostly feed into AI that doesn’t give hits/views/clicks and the ad revenue to pay for itself?

Sounds awesome! I hope there will be a recording available. I’ll be in west coast traffic at 7.

Thanks for this! I always thought too how annoying it was to have to figure out in a list of 20 columns which one to change. Massive improvement!

Is that half an hour, or comma separator for decimal?

Well, ChatGPT will do your homework for you, and will happily answer the same question a million times. Humans rightfully don’t want to do either.

App Builder User's Guide f?p URL Syntax is a legacy syntax that creates a unique URL structure that identifies the address of Oracle APEX, the application ID, page number, and session ID.

Perhaps it was my interpretation when i last looked up the url syntax and saw it referred to as “legacy” docs.oracle.com/en/database/...

Is changing it yourself a paywalled feature?

Hm well I’m on 22.2 still. I am planning to upgrade and I was sure I’d seen somewhere that numeric URL’s were deprecated, and friendly url would be the path forward. I reread all the release notes from 23.1 to 24.2 and couldn’t find it though. Don’t think it was my imagination (shrug)

However that makes sending letters more difficult in rural areas. Not sure the best answer. Happy with it being a service, but there could probably be *some* waste reduction.

I do still miss a few things 1) ability to get column names from the results grid, or expand select *, to easily write a select query. 2) can’t select all / copy all easily from the results grid.

Excellent release! I’ve migrated to VS Code for almost everything, and this release really makes an improvement for some of the missing items (commit/rollback, folders). The only thing I use the Java one for anymore is when I need to change things in the scheduler.

I need an AI to translate that for me. Hopefully it can figure out what language is being used here.

In my experience, it’s natural that a front end like react would use REST, but a backend in Go would talk to the database with a driver library (no official option yet). Granted this can work, but I’m curious about performance for a server level application.

Ahhh ok thank you for that! We normally are in a single workspace so didn’t even think of it.

Configure Login to APEX Builder Using Office 365 This post shows you how to configure MS Azure AD and Oracle APEX to allow developers to login to APEX Builder with their Office 365 accounts.

@jon.cloudnueva.com Hi, really appreciate your blog posts! I had questions for blog.cloudnueva.com/oracle-apex-... 1) how to log on as INTERNAL after this? 2) do we still create account for new users to set privileges (developer, builder access, etc.)? Thank you for any input!

Hmm this is how I read it.
Commands:
1) curl command creates a table using a HTTP endpoint similar to ORDS.
2) mosquitto_pub sends an MQTT message to topic “db/append/example” which routes the message to the correct database table.
3) curl is used to read the table using HTTP like ORDS

I recently found this database called Machbase Neo (have not tried it) but it claims you can publish messages right to the database. Interesting idea and I don’t have to maintain another application www.machbase.com/en/post/how-...

Do you mean broker or client? From my understanding the broker just stores messages in queues, based on configuration. Example might be RabbitMQ which I’ve used. A client program (Python, etc) then reads the queue and processes it, like collect data and post.
