Using APEX for database administration
Do you know Application Express (APEX) is free tool that comes pre-configured from Oracle 11g onwards. It is very easy to use tool to create database based applications. There are lots of use cases for using APEX by DBAs.
1. for creation of small utilities like- daily backup reporting
2. for creation of db portal kind of thing where your entire DB estate details are present
One can learn using this tool in less than 1 hr. there is no installation required. application created by APEX are web based applications and entire development in APEX is also web based.
Thanks,
Abhi

Why, use Enterprise Manager, is also with no extra cost.
-
or you can use the SQL Developer for free too

We are using APEX for visualizing some results from AWR Warehouse. But why is this a database Idea? What should Oracle Corp. develop? Nothing?

This idea was not for Oracle corp but it was for DBA community.

I've seen some nice reports from APEX - it has a nice interface and certainly a worthy tool for the toolbox.

What's the suggestion here? You can already use APEX in this manner if you choose. Is the suggestion to have Oracle create some reports and web pages for you so that you don't have to?

As long as I can remember. Its free to monitor your Oracle databases. I'm no licensing expert but I believe you have to pay more if you want to use it to monitor non-Oracle database hosts, etc.

I don't see an idea here. I think the poster may have misunderstood the purpose of the Database Ideas space.
