Orclapex Accra Meetup



Apex just gets better by the day. This idea of a meetup has been influenced by the the various local groups around the world. 
Right now, there are a number of groups already formed across the world: 
·       ORCLAPEX-MSP for the Minneapolis, St. Paul area led by Jorge Rimblas
·       ORCLAPEX-DFW for the Dallas/Fort Worth area led by Doug Gault
·       ORCLAPEX-MTL for the Montreal area of Cadana led by Francis Mignault
·       ORCLAPEX-NYC for the New York City area led by Dan McGhan
·       ORCLAPEX-VIENNA  for the Vienna Austria area led by Peter Raganitsch
you can  check out the recently created  ApexMeetups which houses a repository of all apex meet ups around the world.On the Global map  found none on my continent.As the african adage says "With our thoughts we make the world " - I decided to startup one. 
This great product from oracle in the part where I live is under utilized. This meetup is created is to help 
1. Meet fellow developers in and around the environs 
2. Sensitize the general public (other developer on other platforms ) about how easy it is to build apps on the fly with just a browser IDE.
3.Help bring out the next generation of African Apex developers 

In the future, if this message is sung well,probably we could have some hackathons to solve , real African problems and also see perhaps some startups coming up from this.
OrclApex Accra is about to go live for its maiden meeting.

You can join OrclApex Accra  here the  Date will soon be slated.


Just can't wait.

Expose your Local Development Environment to the outside world with Ngrok

When we develop on localhost, we usually use some kind of simple HTTP server like node, our Oracle database,APIs, webhooks, Callback Urls or whatever. This is all good and we are all pretty happy about that. We have access to our app using our fancy  http://localhost  url. We are happy, but  alone . What if you would like to share your app to a colleague that is not on the same network as yours ? What if you need to check your app on an SSL connection? What if you wanted an external system to pass you a process invoked by a method ? ngrok to the rescue Ngrok   is a simple “free” service that can help you with that.

Disabling of Password Expiration in Oracle Apex(Internal Workspace Admin)

This post was inspired by a  question  on the OTN APEX forum, which contains how to  reset set the password of the  Oracle Internal Workspace Admin    and  Set the account never to expire  The first bullet has so many blogs  talk about how to reset the password of the Internal Workspace. However, i am more intrigued with the second . To start of with It is not advisable to never expire accounts since its rudimental for user to always renew their accounts  prior to expiration. The default expiration of an account is mostly 180 days so hey whats the point going to do this again after 180 days?? . There are two methods that can be used to achieve this  Generic Never expiration of all User accounts (This should never be practiced in a production Environment All database users are assigned to something called a PROFILE . The profile controls two aspects of the users database acce...

How does one add a day/hour/minute/second to a date value?

DATE is the datatype that we are all familiar  with when we think about representing date and time values. It has the ability to store the month, day, year, century, hours, minutes, and seconds. It is typically good for representing data for when something has happened or should happen in the future.  The problem with the DATE datatype is its' granularity  when trying to determine a time interval between two events when the events happen within a second of each other. This issue is solved with the TIMESTAMP datatype. In order to represent the date stored in a more readable format, the TO_CHAR function has traditionally been wrapped around the date: SQL> SELECT  TO_CHAR(hiredate,'DD.MM.YYYY:HH24:MI:SS')  "hiredate"   FROM employees; hiredate ------------------- 17.12.1980:00:00:00 20.02.1981:00:00:00 The SYSDATE pseudo-column shows the current system date and time. Adding 1 to SYSDATE will advance the date by 1 day. Use fractions to add hours...
