Oracle books for apex ?

hi all ,
does not oracle offer books for learning apex ?
if i had a course in oracle , will not she give me a book to learn from it !!
i do not find books regarding apex in the market except some of some writers
books like
beggining oracle application express
and
pro application express
and 2 day + developers guide on apex documentation
and they are not enough at all
is there another resources ?
thanks in advance

Well, all the books and tutorials start from beginer level and go to some advanced levels.
Just like you cannot learn to swim without getting into water, you cannot learn Apex without dabbling in it ;-)
Get yourself an installation of Apex and start off with that and a book / tutorial/ Help (which is also pretty good).
No text books, the likes of Haliday & Resnick Part 1 & 2 for Physics or G.B. Thomas for Calculus / Coordinate Geometry in real world !

Good books for apex developer

Hi all-
I recently started to work on apex side and I was just wondering which book in apex(3.2 version) will be good for my reference.
Suggestions will be appreciated.
Regards,
Nani

Good for 3.2.. However, you are falling behind in APEX with 3.x... APEX 4.0 has been out a while and now 4.1 is due for release this summer.. You really should look at updating, since APEX 4.x has sooooo many new cool features...
Thank you,

Oracle Book for experienced SQL Server developer

Hi everyone
I'm looking for suggestions for a book to start with Oracle database development. Though, I'm not looking for a beginner book that starts with explaining what tables, views and procedures are.
I'm doing database development on MS SQL Server since 12 years. I also know things like relational algebra, no-cursors and other general database guidelines.
What do you think about one of those books?
Oracle Essentials: Oracle Database 11g: http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Essentials-Database-11g/dp/0596514549/
Oracle PL/SQL Programming: Covers Versions Through Oracle Database 11g Release 2: http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-PL-SQL-Programming-Versions/dp/0596514468/
Any suggestions would be great. :-)
Thanks in advance
Flo
BTW: I'm not looking for free web resources, I'm looking for a paperback.

Hi and welcome to the forums.
What do you think about one of those books?
Oracle Essentials: Oracle Database 11g: http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Essentials-Database-11g/dp/0596514549/
Just download the Concepts manual. I was disappointed with my purchase.
Oracle PL/SQL Programming: Covers Versions Through Oracle Database 11g Release 2: http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-PL-SQL-Programming-Versions/dp/0596514468/
The "bible" of PL/SQL is by Steve Fueurstein. Get it.
Any suggestions would be great. :-)Toim Kyte's books will explain the "philosophy" of Oracle- youi can comapre it to
your SQL Server knowledge. Start with these and the Concepts manual.
These forums are a great resource if you're not sure of something.
Read the FAQ.
HTH and good luck :)

Book resources for ApEx

I'm a database developer who has played around some w/ ApEx and
who has zero experience w/ HTML. Our group is looking into moving
a somewhat complex Forms app to ApEx, and I know I'll need to
be doing more than just the basics in ApEx.
I've found this forum very helpful, but want to get some good books
in front of me.
Couple of questions:
What books do you recommend for ApEx?
Would it be wise for me to get an HTML book? If so,
I'd love recommendations.
When is the book Pro Oracle Application Express (Scott S and John S's
book) actually going to be available? The date keeps getting
pushed back! Because of Scott's incredible knowledge of ApEx,
this is the book I really want... but don't know if it'll be available
in time!
Thanks much,
Carol

Carol,
I'm sitting in the airport right now waiting to fly out to ODTUG, so don't have time for a 'full' reply to this, but if you want to drop me a mail ([email protected]) I'll see what I can do for you (no promises of course).
The date keeps getting pushed back! I know ;) Guilty as charged...but it is coming I promise.
Because of Scott's incredible knowledge of ApEx, this is the book I really wantNot sure if you mean Scott S or me (or a combination of both!), if it's me then I'm thinking of changing my name, as it'll be the third time this week someone has called me 'Scott' (and about the 1,000,000th time this year ;).
Thanks,
John.

Where is the Oracle Application Server for Apex 3.2.1?

Hi, I feel ashamed asking this, but I want to know where to download the Application Server for Apex 3.2.1. Apex is installed in a DataBase 10gR1 and the O.S. where I will install the Application Server is RedHat
I think it is here
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/index.html
But there is a lot of links and things to download and I don't even know if it will work because it is Release 3 and the DataBase is Release 1, but I tried downloading the "Oracle 10gR3 Companion (10.1.3.x) CD", but after running the installer in the disk1, I found that the Oracle HTTP Server that it would install does not include mod_plsql and I know I need it.
So, which one should I download, or where can I find it?
Thanks.

Strictly speaking you do not need Application Server or OHS for running Apex, you have an option in ApexListener. If it is a small installation then stick to EPG that comes built-in.
Try downloading the Oracle HTTP Server from here . You will need to check the commercial aspects yourself as OHS is not a free software for Production environment, AFAIK.

How to configure Oracle SSO for forms and apex

Hi All,
I am trying to configure oracle SSO for forms and apex using third party external authentication. Please help me how to configure. I a have tried all possible things
from web but I am not able to do it. Is there any doc or links are much appreciated.
Info: Some reason my oiddas web link is not working it used to work fine before and also the from /pls/orasso/ link I am not able to login may be because of my oiddas issue
Thanks

Hi Andreas,
Thanks you for your help. I am trying to implement third party external LDAP authentication for APEX and Forms.
So I started with OID and SSO setup to create external Partner Applications. Some reason my oid and sso web login links are not working. I didn't find any errors. I need some help in finding the problem and direction, I already read docs on web but no proper direction. I appreciate your help.
Thanks

Oracle Spatial for XE 10g / APEX 3.1

I am working with the "2 Day + Developer's Guide" on my Oracle 10g XE / APEX 3.1 installation. There are the OEHR sample objects... the guide says that I need to install "Oracle Spatial" first:
"Tip: In order to successfully import the objects associated with the
OEHR Sample Objects application, your Oracle database must include
Oracle Spatial. If your database instance does not include Oracle
Spatial, you can install it using Database Configuration Assistant. To
learn more, see the Oracle Database Installation Guide for your operating
environment." (page 27, 3-5)
Does 10g XE already includes Spatial? I couldn't find it in the Oracle downloads section :-/
Maybe my installation doesn't have Spatial since I can't install the OEHR sample objects: Problems installing the OEHR sample objects application
Thanks a lot!

Does 10g XE already includes Spatial?XE supports only Locator, which is a subset of Spatial.
The Locator is described in detail here:http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14255/sdo_locator.htm#i632018

BUG for sort column with Oracle 11g and APEX 3.2

I have BUG in Report region(Oracle 11g and APEX 3.2). if i have more than 746 Char for my column's value and i want to sort them, this error appear
Report error :
ORA-00910: specified length too long for its datatype.
But in an other environement in Oracle 10g and apex 3.2, with the same data. I have no BUG.
Somebody have an idea for a possible solution to this problem???

Again, I may just be wasting your time...but if I have XDB problems...especially with the password, I do the following:
1. Change your working directory to $ORACLE_HOME/apex.
2. Start SQL*Plus and connect to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed as SYS.
3. Run apxconf.sql
> @apxconf
4. When prompted, enter a password for the Oracle Application Express Admin account.
5. When prompted, enter the port for the Oracle XML DB HTTP server. (default port being, of course,8080).
6. Unlock the ANONYMOUS account
> ALTER USER ANONYMOUS ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
7. If needed, I do the SETHTTPPORT command mentioned before...
Since I'm using the Oracle 11g, with embedded PL/SQL server, I have no idea if this is the same for 10g us OHS?
Hope that helps!
KSL.

Oracle 11g R2 HTTP server for APEX

I am in the process of configuring new apex enviornment to run Oracle HTTP Server instead of the embedded server which we are currently using on another instance. I have configured 11g r2 along with companion version of Oraclle HTTP server entitled Oracle Fusion Middleware Web Tier Utilities.
Currently all is working fine with this configuraiton using SSL.
We have a couple of third party applications that are supplied in a EAR file for deployment. Does this version of Oracle HTTP support such deployments? There seems to be no gui interface to managing the http server and web cache. Do we need to move to the full Fusion app server to support EAR deployments, etc. If so, I am assuming we would then have to purchase Fusion product unlike http product for APEX.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Bob

For a number of reasons scrapped http server and installed and configured GlassFish community edition with Apex Listener. With caching enabled all is working great. Weblogic is overkill.

Books for oracle 1Z0-051 exam

Which books are recommended for oracle 1Z0-051 exam ?

visit Amazon.com and search for "1Z0-051". There is not only official Oracle book, but a few third party.
I like

Recommended books for Oracle 10g

I'm new to this group, so my apologies in advance if this is not the appropriate group for this question. If it is not, please steer me in the right direction. Thanks!
Here's my situation: I'm currently a Microsoft SQL Server developer and have been for about 6 years, so I'm fairly conversant with SQL. Our company is in the process of purchasing an application that runs under Oracle 10g, and I need to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can about 1) being the Oracle DBA for our (small) company, and 2) developing in Oracle SQL.
Are there any specific books some of you would recommend for my particular situation (beginning level Oracle user, intermediate/advanced in SQL)? Any and all advice/suggestions/help will be gratefully accepted.
Thanks in advance --
Carl

First thing I would recommend is going in the OTN and download the 2 day dba article
and the top 20 Oracle 10g features

Regarding Good book for Oracle Service Bus 11g

Hi All,
What is the good book for Oracle Service Bus 11g in the below list(or You can also specify any book other than from below list)?
1)Oracle Service Bus 11g Development Cookbook
2)Oracle Service bus in 21 days
3)The definitive guide to SOA:Oracle Service Bus,Second edition (or)first edition?
Can yOu help me out which is the good book for OSB?

Hi Deilby,
Thank You for your reply.
According to my understanding(I don't know whether it is correct or not),If you want to have full-fledged OSB development,we need to have eclipse.
If you just need to have routing and transformation along with SOA suite development,We can use OSB console .
Can You also look into this below SOA forums thread with SOA-OSB questions? If I have 'Oracle
Service Bus 11g Development Cookbook' , Can I answer all those questions?
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2559964?tstart=0
My intention is clear,I want to have full-fledged OSB development information(important components) and that leads to have good exposure to face questions.
Can You help me out to clarify my understanding and recommend the book according to that?
Note: I already worked on SOA Suite.I worked on OSB console. I think whatever we can do with OSB eclipse development the samething we can do with OSB console along with SOA suite.
Can You clarify on this?

Best Book on ORACLE SQL for a Beginner?

Hi friends ....I have just finished my graduation....(BE ELECTRONICS) .....I am dead serious about mastering ORACLE DATABASE......I have basic idea about ORACLE....Yesterday I just installed Oracle 10g Release 2 for VISTA...I just wanted to know which is the best book for a beginner who want to master ORACLE SQL....?????/

its Tutor as well.....But Last word.......Which is
"the" book for a beginner amongst all the SQL books
suggested by my dear friends........It ALL depends on what your short, medium and long range objectives are.
For example: do you want to be
- an Oracle DBA expert;
- an Oracle database programming expert;
- a general database programming expert with a specialty in Oracle;
- an Oracle application programming expert;
- a general application programming expert?
Personally I would encourage being a general database programming expert with a specialty in Oracle. This is probably the rarest of the group, the least understood, and the most needed in the industry. If you were to follow that path, I'd recommend a very very strong grounding in SQL - which 99% of all programmers I've met do NOT have - before moving forward to any procedural enhancement to SQL (such as PL/SQL, Java, TransactSQL, etc.)
I am the first to propose Tom Kyte's books in the right situations, which usually include:
- dealing with someone already reasonably competent in SQL and development;
- someone who thinks that porting from SQL Server to Oracle is a snap, since they are all 'just different dialects of SQL', or;
- someone who is seriously looking for guidelines on approaching Oracle application development and tuning.
For a complete beginner, my list of books stands in my preferred order (one at a time), with the addition - at the end - of Tom's books.
