Uploading a file in Oracle APEX usually means submitting the page, which can be slow and annoying if you just want a preview.

My take on the low-code bashing in a thread on Reddit I stumbled upon this week. It seems that "low-code" needs more proper clarification. nielsdebr.blogspot.com/2025/08/low-... #orclapex

For those using APEX Accounts or Custom Authentication, I strongly recommend considering a switch to a solution like Office 365 (AD) or Google Authentication via Social Sign-In. It is easy to set up, and you don't have to worry about storing passwords anymore.

Jon Dixon @jon.cloudnueva.com · Jun 1

The results are in from the May 25th Ask the Community Question. Most people are using Enterprise SSO for Authentication. Look out for this week's question on APEX Developer Blogs #orclAPEX

When deep knowledge goes together with a native acting talent the result is the best keynote I ever seen:Trouble in The Old Republic.
Congratulations @developer-sam.bsky.social: what you have done today at #apexconn25 was a real show with so much truth in it and with meaningful message.

Fabian Neureiter is talking today at APEX Connect about XML and how we can handle it in the Oracle database. It's a really interesting topic, even if it's not one of the trendy ones right now 👍
