Deletion of Public reports in APEX 4.0

Question

As far as I know, in APEX 4.0 no other user other than the one who created a Public report can delete it. Can this behavior be changed somehow?

Hi Denes,
well, there is another way to do that.
First, identify the saved report you want to remove:
This query will give you all APEX views with information about interactive reports.
select *
  from apex_dictionary
where apex_view_name like '%IR%'
   and column_id=0;There we have a look at apex_application_page_ir_rpt:
select *
  from APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT;When you have the proper id, you can remove the report using apex_util.ir_delete_report:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/apex_util.htm#CHDDBCHG
i.e.:
BEGIN
    APEX_UTIL.IR_DELETE_REPORT(
        p_report_id => '880629800374638220');
END;@Denes, I guess we should listen to each other training sessions, we can always learn something new ;) ... I will listen to you next time ... in october :).
Cheers,
