Can I use Oracle APEX with MySQL Database

Hi All,
We are looking to create a performance dashboard using Oracle APEX for our client, but the application database is MySQL. Is it possible to create reports in APEX using data from MySQL database? If yes, are there any specific steps to be followed or any additional setups needed?
Any inputs would be really helpful.
Appreciate all the help
Thanks,
Sameer

Hi Sameer,
it's not possible to use apex on mysql, as stated above me by several persons.
If you havent got any oracle database in your organization, apex would be an expensive choise unless you use the free Oracle XE (express edition), which has APEX embedded.
There are some limitations to XE but with a bit of smart thinking it wouldnt be much of a problem.
[check the XE information here|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25143/toc.htm#BABIECJA]
In short:
- XE will use 1 CPU even if you have two or more in your system
- There is a 4 GB data limit
- RAM memory usage is limited to 1 GB
- 1 installation per computer
You can use XE as a reporting database. This will relieve your mysql database from heavy reporting processes, too.
The XE can be used as a mini data warehouse. So you have to transfer and transform the relevant data from mysql to your XE instance.
After that you can start building report screens etc in the embedded Apex .
hope this helps you

Can I use Oracle IPM with a third party content managemen system?

Hello,
Our client has a requirment to use Oracle IPM with a non-Oracle content management system. That is they don't want to Oracle UCM. Is it possible? If yes, can you please direct me to some kind of documentation.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards
Abhishek

I think you should draw a scheme of your architecture for yourself.
An A/P solution consists of:
- scanning (hence, ODC/ODDC)
- repository of images (IPM based on UCM)
- workflows (BPM as a part of IPM license)
- connector to an application (usually, Oracle EBS Adapter is used here)
If you don't intend to use any part of the solution (e.g. you have a different ERP system than EBS, you have your own repository), you can replace it with your own parts. However, be aware that you will have take care of the integration - Oracle can integrate for you only those parts that Oracle has under control (ODC is integrated to UCM/IPM, IPM/UCM is integrated to EBS, workflows know how to call UCM/IPM services). Of course, it uses open standards (web services or RIDC), so you may implement the integration yourself.

How can i use Oracle intermedia with Oracle forms 9i

Hi all,
I have a requirment from one of our client that they want to manage a large amount of Images,by seeing the documents about the oracle interMedia we got some idea to manage this images ,but the client is alredy having a software which is been developed by Oracle forms9i and we need to develope this using oracle forms9i can anyone give us an idea that how can we make use of InterMedia through Oracle forms9i ....
Thanks in advance....

I am also trying to use interMedia objects with Oracle 9i forms. I've tried everything and I can't get it to work.
So far I have a solution that loads images using WebUtil into a blob field in Forms 9i, then in a backend stored procedure I move the blob to an interMedia object. Which works, but the problem with the image item in Oracle forms is that the image format cannot be change at runtime, so the images will always be what you set at design time.
Can someone out there please help.
Thanks.

How can i use oracle coherence with JPA/ejb in web service?

Hi

please any one does know it reply please it helps me lot to get.
Thanks in advance,

If you want data cached in Coherence to find it's way into an Oracle database for persistence, then look at the "CacheStore" section of the Coherence Developer Guide. This also works the other way round too, in that you can get data read into a Coherence cache via a database read. Again, look in the Coherence Developer Guide.
If you want you applications "entry point" into a piece of code to be a web-service, then Tomcat+CXF will work just fine. Once you are in the service, just use the Coherence API to put the data in a cache.
But also look at the HTTP access offered in later versions of Coherence in the form of REST. This may save you the Tomcat+CXF install, depending upon your needs. See the Coherence Client Guide.
Still, what exactly are you trying to achieve here? It's not clear from your post why a web service using JPA for persistence needs to go via Coherence at all. More info needed.

How to use Oracle APEX with Oracle12c - Beginner

Hi. I have been using for months Oracle Application Express thanks to the online workspace on https://apex.oracle.com/i/index.html.
Now, I want to create my production environment. I have installed Oracle Database 12c on a virtual machine (Oracle Virtual Box) based on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit) o.s.
I have created a new database and, during this process, I have selected only "Oracle Application Express" as database's option. Now, I don't know how to use APEX, how to configure the Listener and whatever I need to let the users may use my APEX's applications. Thank you very much for any help. Please consider that I am a beginner and I don't know how to master the administrative-side of APEX.

How can i use Oracle interMedia with Oracle forms Urgent

I have a requirment from one of our client that they want to manage a large amount of Images,by seeing the documents about the oracle interMedia we got some idea to manage this images ,but the client is alredy having a software which is been developed by Oracle forms9i and we need to develope this using oracle forms9i can anyone give us an idea that how can we make use of InterMedia through Oracle forms9i ....
Thanks in advance....

I will ask, but it would be good to ask in the Oracle Forms forum as well. Many tools recognize the interMedia columns and automatically handle them since they now can say "Oh, this is an image column, I know how to handle this". I am not sure where forms is in this regard.

Can we use oracle reports with php

hello
any body know about that oracle reports can use in php or not if not any reason if can use any example oracle report and php ill very thankful to all for this help bye
from farooq

It depends on what you mean by 'use oracle reports within php'. If you generate reports as urls (don't know if oracle reports supports this but I think it does), you can just link to them or catch them in an iframe.
If you are talking about generating a report from inside a php script, you can use a system() call to execute oracle reports tools such as 'rwrun'. If you do this, make sure your php server has proper oracle environment variables (such as ORACLE_HOME)

How to use oracle APEX with an distant database located on a distant server

Hi there,
I'm a brand new user with Oracle Technologies. I've installed ORACLE 10g XE and updated APEX to 4.0 version on my laptop.
My Manager has setup a distant server with a Linux Red Hat. He has installed on this server EBS R12 with a 11i database.
As a training, I'd like to play with the tables located on the server with the APEX 4.0 installed on my laptop.
As the server is on the same local network and following the description above, is it possible to plug my local APEX to the server database ?
If not, does it mean I have to install APEX on the 11i server database and then connect to the server to play with those tables ?
Thanks a lot for your time and support ACEs members.
Regards,
Ulrich

Hi Ulrich,
yes, you can access other database from your APEX database. The mechanism used to do this is called a "database link". You need to create such a database link in your local database, then you can access the remote database like this:
SELECT *
FROM databaselink@EMP
;If you want to use such remote objects from within APEX you need to create local views to wrap this (search the forum for apex and database links, you'll find interesting threads).

Peter

Can I use Oracle app server with mysql

Can I use Oracle app server with mysql. I seem to have the following error when trying to create a datastore. I have mysql.jar in my classpath. Can any one tell me what's wrong.
Error initializing data-source 'jdbc/topup': DriverManagerDataSource driver 'org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver' not found

Yes you can forward requests from your own apache to the iAS. This can be done using mod_proxy. Some hints about how to do this are availlable on this forum.
mod_oc4j is not a standard apache module, and therefore is not availlable when you download apache. There is no apparent reason to use mod_oc4j on a "regular" webserver (unless you want to build your own iAS). Also there might be some licenseing issues with using mod_oc4j module on a standard apache.
You can encrypt data that is passed from a random Apache to you iAS.

How to connect APEX with MYSQL via Apex's Database link

How do i connect APEX with MYSQL via Apex's Database link? The OBE doesn't go into specific detail about how to link the two.
can someone please elaborate on what these are and where i can find them in mysql:
Database Link Name
Connect To Schema
Password
Remote Hostname or IP
Remote Host Port
SID or Service Name
I need to link to mysql database so I can set up a 3D pie chart in apex

Hi jononioo
A database link is a device for connecting between Oracle database instances only. Oracle does have a method for connecting to other database systems (Transparent Gateway) but this is restricted to other commercial databases and I don't believe there is a gateway for Mysql. (I could be wrong)
I don't know Mysql but maybe there is some way to push data to the Oracle instance. Other than that, is there any reason why the data has to reside in the Mysql database?

No they cannot send you a document that is available only to those with access to MOS.
That would violate the conditions of having such service contract credentials.
Asking someone to violate such privileges is a serious offense and could get that other person's organization banned from all support and all their support contracts cancelled.

Can i use oracle 7.3 drivers against oracle 8 database.

When i'm executing a stored procedure with 8i driver i'm having a problem saying "Cannot Save or Rollback in distributed transaction". But when i use oracle 7.3 drivers i'm not having any problem.My question is , Can I use oracle 7.3 dirvers with oracle 8 database.
null

I tried disabling MTS. That doesnt look to work. Somehow 8i drivers are working in a distributed transaction mode by default. I resolved configuring 8i drivers as not to use distributed mode and works fine for me.
For other who had this same kind of errors Solution is :
Disable distribution transaction off if you are managing manual transactions from your scripts. Example: connectstring= DNS=...;"DistribTx=0.
Justin,Thanks for your concerns and reply.
