Answer 1

Hi Ixiscas,
I am able to reproduce this issue on my APEX Installation (4.1, 11g).
The reason maybe that the code is not executed directly but via dbms_sys_sq.parse_as_user().
My suggestion would be to move the functionality to a pl/sql procedure in the parsing schema and call this procedure in the page process.
Regards
Marc
