-

👀Watch The below video in my YouTube channel about Installation of Oracle Database 23ai and APEX 24.2 on Windows Step-by-Step 



✅Before starting check the System Requirements:
  1. Operating System: Windows 10-11 or Windows Server 19-22
  2. Memory: At least 4 GB RAM (8 GB or more recommended).
  3. Disk Space: At least 20 GB of free space.
  4. Administrator Access: You need administrative privileges to install software.

  •  Install  Oracle Database 23ai on Windows:

👀I suggest you watch this video on my YouTube channel about this article

my_video

step1:

Download  Oracle Database 23ai from below Link

https://www.oracle.com/database/free/get-started/

you can also see the Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows:

https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/23/xeinw/index.html


step 2:
after unzipping downloaded files then click setup.exe



step 3:
This is mandatory to have at least one pluggable database




in this step oracle start to configure LISTENER





  • Install  APEX24.2 on Windows:
https://www.oracle.com/tools/downloads/apex-downloads/

SQL>Alter session set container=freepdb1;

If you do not want to specify a datafile manually, you can enable Oracle Managed Files (OMF) using the DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST parameter:

 
SQL>ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST='/u02/oradata';

SQL>CREATE TABLESPACE apex_tbs datafile size 100m autoextend on;

SQL>select tablespace_name from dba_tablespaces;

SQL>@apexins.sql apex_tbs apex_tbs temp Images
SQL>@apxchpwd.sql

SQL> @apex_rest_config.sql --✹ TIP: This command Create the APEX_LISTENER and APEX_REST_PUBLIC_USER users

SQL>ALTER USER APEX_PUBLIC_USER IDENTIFIED BY APEX_PUBLIC_USER
ACCOUNT UNLOCK;


  •  CONFIG ORDS 
Now you should install ORDS and actually, you need to install ORDS. because Without ORDS, APEX applications would not be accessible via a web browser.
👀 For more detail about ORDS and configuration follow the below article:

👩 : Falls Sie nicht müde sind  :-| 👨 : Ich bin immer müde, aber das ist okay :-) I recently attended the APEX Connect 2025 conference from Syntegris Company.  One of the presentations that strongly caught my attention focused on the development of a personal assistant powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), which runs completely offline,  with no reliance on cloud services . This assistant was implemented using technologies such as Oracle Database 23ai , Vector Search , and the RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) approach. It was designed to manage personal information, emails, calendar entries, and project data. 👀Watch this short Video about  #ApexConn2025    https://youtube.com/shorts/UQmwwTEsJuk?si=WJUXdJ4jvh1Nmsap The presenter highlighted the challenges of his life, such as: High volumes of daily emails  Multiple overlapping meetings Fragmented and scattered information He proposed a personal AI assistant that could : Filter emails and ext...

  If you did not install Oracle database 23ai and Apex24.2 you can first use the below link to install them and then back here to install and config ORDS. How we can Install APEX 24.2 and Oracle Database 23ai on Windows Step by Step: https://lidagholizadeh.blogspot.com/2025/03/install-oracle-database-23ai-and-apex.html 👀 Watch The below video in my YouTube channel about   Installation of Oracle Database 23ai and APEX 24.2 on Windows Step-by-Step  Why Do We Need ORDS for APEX? Oracle ORDS (Oracle REST Data Services) is a middle-tier application that enables RESTful web services for Oracle databases. It is essential for running Oracle APEX (Application Express) because APEX is a web-based application development platform that needs a web server to handle HTTP requests.We need it because APEX does not include a built-in web server.  It acts as a bridge between an Oracle Database and web applications, allowing developers to expose database objects  as RE...

Image
  ✔   RTL Map Region Labels 24.2 Map regions have been enhanced to provide full support for right-to-left text rendering. This fixes an outstanding bug regarding displaying RTL labels in Map regions. 👀 Video for this article:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5zKPJeRwXM&t=66s In Oracle APEX versions before 24.2, developers encountered issues with rendering right-to-left (RTL) text labels within Map Regions. Specifically, labels in Persian, Arabic, or Hebrew did not display correctly, leading to misaligned or improperly oriented text. This limitation hindered the usability and accessibility of applications for RTL language users. With the release of Oracle APEX 24.2, this issue has been addressed. Map Regions now fully support RTL text rendering, ensuring that labels in RTL languages display correctly and align properly on the map. This enhancement improves the overall user experience for applications catering to RTL language audiences. 🌍   Geocoding in APEX...

In this article, I want to discuss this question Where can  we use JavaScript in Oracle APEX  on the client side ? I recommend watching the video on my YouTube channel  ( www.youtube.com/@LidaGholizadeh_ORACLE_GIS )  for more details about this article! 1. Dynamic Actions Dynamic Actions in Oracle APEX support predefined JavaScript events, such as Click , Mouse Enter , and more.  You can also define Custom JavaScript Events for specialized use cases when you want to do something that predefined Events can not handle.To implement this type of Dynamic Action, you need to create  two separate Dynamic Actions : Defining the Custom Event Triggering the Custom Event  For Defining the Custom Event set the Event of DA to custom and   set a name for the Custom Event for example My_Custom_DA Here Selection Type  determines which elements or scope the custom event applies to and you have these option Item(s) : Triggered by one or more page it...

Vector Tiles in Oracle Spatial 23

-
Image
Vector tiles are an efficient way to deliver and render map data in web applications. Unlike raster tiles, which are pre-rendered images, vector tiles contain raw geometries and attributes, allowing for dynamic styling and interaction on the client side. 🕮  What Are Vector Tiles? Imagine a large map divided into small, manageable square sections called "tiles."  There are two primary types of tiles: Raster Tiles : Static images representing the map. Zooming in can cause pixelation, and any style changes require generating new images. Vector Tiles : Contain raw geometric data and attributes. They allow for smooth scaling without loss of quality and enable dynamic styling, such as changing colors or labels, directly in the browser. Oracle Spatial 23c introduces support for generating and serving vector tiles directly from spatial data stored in the database. Step 1: Prepare Your Spatial Data Ensure your spatial data is stored in a table with an SDO_GEOMETRY column. CREATE T...

Leveraging ONNX Models for AI Vector Search in Oracle Cloud Database 23ai

-
Image
Oracle 23ai supports ONNX LLM models.😘 In Oracle 23ai, one of the powerful features is  AI Vector Search , which enables semantic search on unstructured data such as text, images, and audio. Oracle supports using ONNX models to convert input data into dense vectors, which are then stored in  vector columns  for efficient similarity search. ❓ What is ONNX (Open Neural Network Exchange) ? It is an open format for representing machine learning and deep learning models. ❓ How Can we use ONNX model in Oracle Database? in the first step you should Import ONNX model in your Database. I am going to use Oracle Cloud and upload my ONNX model in the storage of my cloud. Step 1: Upload ONNX Model to Oracle Cloud Storage In Oracle Cloud storage>bucket Then Upload your onnx file you downloaded Step 2: Import the ONNX Model into Oracle Database Use the DBMS_VECTOR package to I mport the ONNX model: you need to create a credential and for this you need your username and password ...

What is SYS.ODCI (SYS.ODCINumberList or SYS.ODCIVarchar2List) and How Can Use it in APEX ?

-
Image
⍰    What is SYS.ODCI...? Oracle database provides predefined collection types, such as  SYS.ODCINUMBERLIST and SYS.ODCIVARCHAR2LIST , which simplifies operations involving lists of numbers or strings.  SYS.ODCI  designed for bulk operations   and they  are nested table types that store lists of numbers and strings,  respectively.  ⍰    Can we use  SYS.ODCI  instead of  TABLE OF  Types ? In some cases, you can use SYS.ODCI types like instead of defining your own nested table types. For example, if you need a collection of numbers or strings, you can use these system types instead of defining something like this yourself because User-defined types require explicit definitions. In contrast, SYS.ODCINUMBERLIST and similar predefined types are readily available and can be used both in PL/SQL and SQL contexts without additional definitions. But In general,  For more complex structures (like objects with multiple...
