The future of software development is shifting from writing implementation code to expressing intent.
Oracle APEX 26.1 addresses this shift with APEXlang.
See how the Open Application Specification Language for Oracle APEX represents a strategic shift in how low-code applications are authored, reviewed, and evolved particularly in an era where AI agents are becoming primary development interfaces. #orclAPEX social.ora.cl/6013B8bI0d

Tired of hitting:

And you're able to create all the standard database objects
ALT Developer role (23.4) Grant DB_DEVELOPER_ROLE get users up and running with standard development privileges Example granting this to dev_user and a query showing which privileges this user has
