In a way, Oracle Forms can be considered the grand-grand-grandfather of Oracle APEX. The basic idea behind these technologies is the same — easy creation of data-driven web applications with a minimal amount of coding required. Oracle APEX takes this philosophy much further, however, and is a much more evolved and modern technology. Also, most (if not all) Forms modules have their APEX counterparts.
The history of Oracle APEX dates back to 1999 when it was known as Oracle HTML DB (there were also other names, such as Flows and Project Marvel). Over the years, many versions of this technology have been released, and a few groundbreaking features have been introduced — such as plug-ins, Interactive Grid, or REST and PWA support.
Just like Forms, Oracle APEX uses the PL/SQL programming language. However, in APEX, a simple data-driven application can be created entirely — or almost entirely — through the use of specialized Wizards that allow you to connect various ready-made elements and make them work together. You can set up basic business logic, create a layout and interface, and get things working without writing a single line of code. Of course, if you’re not afraid of the command line and have the necessary coding skills (or team up with someone skilled), you can still use them to deliver more complex and powerful solutions.
It’s also worth noting that APEX uses the same database that Forms does (Oracle DB), so it’s equally scalable, safe, and stable. You also retain access to important features, ML/AI modules, Spatial, and so on. The main difference is that, unlike Forms, APEX works in the cloud.
There are no plans to abandon the development of Oracle APEX. It’s quite the opposite: APEX is becoming popular in the world of low-code development and, thus, is actively developed and supported by Oracle – which is great news for your software. The current version of Oracle Application Express is 22.1, and it was released in May 2022.
