I’m not sure why the dbms_registry calls didn’t work, probably it’s the best when you post your problem to the OTN APEX Forum. There are a lot of people who have more experience with installation problems.

I think your authorization error is not related to APEX it’s related to Web-DAV/XMLDB. But again, I think on the forum you will find the proper solution.

what about creating two separate ApexLib schemas. eg APEXLIB_TST and APEXLIB_PRD or APEXLIB_0015 and APEXLIB_0100? This could be an option for you to separate the different ApexLib version you may have.

I will create a bug entry for the uninstall script.

Thanks
Patrick

haven’t done a real performance test yet. Just looked at the explain plans which are generated for the statements and they are a lot more joins done when using the APEX repository views.

But what I have seen from my observation, the time used by ApexLib to add the additional infos to the page is really fast, just 0.01-0.02 overhead. So it probably only matters if you have a higher load on your DB.

About the question install it into the application schema or into it’s own schema. I would suggest to install it into it’s own schema, to separate it from your existing code. Another advantage is that you can grant it to several applications without having to install it several times.

The decision to installation into it’s own schema is independent if you use the direct access or just the APEX repository view access.

Hope that helps

I’m not sure what you mean with “procedures and/or functions with parameters”. Probably the best is if you write me an e-mail (you can find it in the profile) and I will send you my phone number, so that we can have a talk. Probably you live just a few blocks away

Patrick

in your document about “How to integrate” you described at 3. to create a region on Page0 of Type “PL/SQL Dynamic Content”. In the PL/SQL source you showed I miss some examples of procedures and/or functions with parameters ! What about these ?

(cu in the forum)

it’s designed to work with the versions 2.0 and 2.1 (which is included in Oracle XE). But I have to admit that I haven’t tested it with this versions. But the good news is that I got feedback from users that it works as expected

I have not tried the framework yet – and we do have some APEX development here. The post is definitely a motivation to try the framework and the benefits of the framework. Does the framework work with HTML DB and Oracle XE?
