During Contech2024,Alex Nuijten will present 2 talks: To V or not to V? or.. using SQL Macros in APEX? and Cookie Cutter APEX Applications

To V or not to V? or.. using SQL Macros in APEX? – Abstract:

The V function has been around APEX as long as … let’s say very long and that’s a long time.
The V function allows you to reference item values from session state in your SQL statements. When calling V there would always be a price to pay.
With recent releases of the database there is a new way to do something similar; SQL Macro. With SQL Macro you can create parameterized views and this could be very interesting for APEX Developers.
In this session I will give you an overview of this new functionality and how you can use it in your APEX applications.
Cookie Cutter APEX ApplicationsAbstract

In a perfect world your APEX SAAS solution would be deployed with a click of a button, have a separate database for each customer, and can a customer choose when they want to upgrade to the next version.

In this perfect world, the customer don’t have to worry about default lookup data, because the SAAS provider does that.
This perfect world can be created with Application Containers and Oracle APEX.

In this session you will learn the basics of Application Containers, how data is shared and separated in each container and how a new version is rolled out.
