apex] will be running on 18c database?

st*381438*re Sep 21, 2018 2:15 PM

Does anyone know when the internal database will be upgraded to 18c?

Whenever I use Oracle Application Express (it says version 18.1.0.00.45) on both my prototype environments [apex.oracle.com/pls/apex] and my Windows VM-Box [localhost:8080/ords/f?p=4550:1]

But when I run the SQL: select *from v$version; i see

Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 12.1.0.2.0 - 64bit Production

Is there a simple way to run a prototype 18.1 APEX application on the new 18c Database.

Thanks Steve

Hi Steve,

PE&O do have plans to upgrade the database for apex.oracle.com, but I can't confirm that schedule right now.

Just to clarify things in relation to the versioning - 18.1.0.00.45 is the version of Oracle Application Express. That's not referring to the database version that the product is installed in. As you have seen, the hosted instance is running on 12.1.0.2.0 currently, and presumably that's the version you've also got installed on your VM.

You may not be aware that Oracle XE 18c is scheduled for release soon - see this forum post by the Oracle XE PM, Gerald Venzl: Hello, I'm the new product manager for Oracle Database XE. So once it's available for download from OTN, you'll be able to install our latest production release, APEX 18.1.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Hilary
