Improved SQL Script Support
SQL Scripts can now use standard SQL*Plus syntax in Oracle
Application Express
Release 2.0. Also, any script can be run as a background
process, freeing the
developer to continue working while their script executes.
Session State Protection
A new feature – Session State Protection – has been introduced
into Oracle
Application Express Release 2.0. Session State Protection
protects an Oracle
Application Express Application from users who try to pass
malicious code through
a browser.
SQL Command Processor Stateful Transactions
Developer can now choose whether or not to automatically commit
transactions
issued in the SQL Command Processor. Any uncommitted transaction
will
automatically be rolled back should the browser be closed or a
logout occur.
Dynamic “ Pull Down” Menu Navigation
Navigation has been enhanced through the use of new
pull-down menus. These
menus allow developers to quickly navigate to the specific page
they require. In
addition to enhancing Oracle Application Express, these menu
templates are also
available for use in the Application Builder.
Efficient HTML & Style Sheets
The amount of HTML generated by Oracle Application Express 2.0
has been greatly
reduced in size, resulting in much faster loading and web page
rendering times.
