Hi I am new to oracle express application and I am having trouble trying to create access control for different levels of users. I am not the admin, I am just the developer and cannot create users.
So far I have zero users. I want to create users. Not sure if it is possible. I don't have the function available.
The image below shows an error. Don't know how to solve this. I am assuming it is not possible to create access control if I don't have users. I am not sure.
This won't help you right now, and I know you're not in control of this, but you should encourage your teacher or administrators to update the version of Oracle APEX which is being used.
The version you're using (APEX 5.0) implemented access control by creating a table in your database schema. In newer versions of APEX, local access control is embedded as part of the framework itself.
Your instructions may be using a specific curriculum associated with this version of APEX, and it would be time-consuming to update. But please do let them know for future classes that Oracle does provide a completely free curriculum, with a permissive use license.
Here is more information about the curriculum, and here was the blog announcement.

Hello we need to develop a web application using Oracle ADF and jdeveloper 12c. This is a big project so we need to develop this application with the help of a team of size 10 members. Our doubt is how we can develop a web application using a team.
Suppose that we have 10 modules. Each module has developed by each member(Each member is using different system with same environment. Jdeveloper 12c). Finally developing all the 10 modules how we can combine all the 10 modules as a single application. How we can modify bindings , page flows and connection details.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
A comprehensive look at ADF team size and roles you can find on ADF Architecture TV channel.
In terms of architecture, I would suggest SUM of the Parts Pattern:
Simply put, every member can use their own workspace where they will create bounded task flows based on fragments. Then, each of those workspaces will be packaged as ADF Libraries and imported into a MASTER workspace, acting as a portal. One of the most common patterns for implementing Master portal is Dynamic Tabs UI Shell Template Functional UI Pattern
I suggest you watch this to understand ADF large project architecture better, and read this, this and this as well. This book may be of use.
The best approach will be using a version control tool like SVN. Initially, anyone member of the team need to migrate the blank project structure to SVN. later on others can checkout the code and implement their code and after that they can check in the code. The problem here is you have to assume that no 2 developers are working on same file at same time, or else code conflict may happen while committing the code.
Currently, I am also working on a project where some developers are from onshore and some from offshore. So, we use the SVN. Jdevloper itself comes with SVN Client. So no need of installing any SVN client like Tortoise SVN or Smart SVN.
If still you need more information you can reply back.
I'm doing a small pilot project trying to implement Sql Server Data Tools sqlproj projects in order to better bring our databases under source control. In my organization, we have separate no-trust domains for test environments of various purposes, so these domains of course have their own isolated active directory accounts.
The documentation is still somewhat sparse and I don't really know where to go for more information on this toolset, especially considering the extraordinary amount of churn in Visual Studio's history of database assets.
So far, the only idea I've really had would be to make separate sqlproj projects specifically for the security objects each separate domain, separate from the other schema objects. My hope is that somehow I can tie my actual database schema to those at deploy time and also to somehow switch which security project I'm using in the build. I have no idea if that's feasible though.
Has anyone that uses Visual Studio sqlproj projects had to deal with this? Is there a best practice for this kind of thing?
If you have different settings for each environment then the easiest is to either leave them out and not delete them when you deploy or to have a post deploy script that sets them up manually.
Normally for handling different configurations I would suggest using sql cmd variables (on the properties of the project there is a page for setting these up) but when you create a login you cannot use a variable to create it so that falls over!
There is an example on how to setup a post deploy wrapper for just this case:

Good luck with ssdt, there are some strange quirks but it enables so much!
I am trying to making a tool which can help in maintaining data base version(like maintaining source code version). The technology which I am thinking to use is spring-hibernate so that the tool can be web based and it can be used by multiple project . The idea is that any database change can only be triggered with the help of this tool,so that the database version information can be maintained and the database can be made consistent .Operations like commit,roll back,branching,merging should be possible. Can you suggest me that how should I approach to this problem?
I have found an opensource tool called LiquidBase which has already provided some sort of solution in maintaining database version. Here is a short preview on what this tool can do. But this tool has some limitations like it does not handle stored procedures and triggers and it works on the basis of an XML file . But I think I can integrate this tool with my requirement and I can speed up development. If you have any other tool in knowledge which can be better than this then please let me know.
If possible tell me that how the tool should be organized so that different project can easily maintain their database version. What all problem the tool should try to address and what minimum support should at least be there in this tool? What should be the UI so that user should be easily able to use it.?
From within an Apex class, how can I detect the Edition (ie, Group, Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited). More specifically, is there an API to retrieve the capabilities (or lack thereof) for the user's edition?
The problem I am trying to solve is that from the Group/Professional edition, users cannot access the custom Web Services in my app, receiving the error LOGIN_OAUTH_API_DISABLED. Is there a way to detect whether this is going to work from within Apex?
You can use the following SOQL to determine the Organization's license type:
SELECT OrganizationType FROM Organization
For Professional it will return "Professional Edition". This is detailed on the Organization object page.
Are there any specific capabilities you're looking to discover? There's no way to determine the edition (and this would be mostly a red herring if you could). A lot of differences end up being reflected in the data model, and you can discover that using the describe features.
If you want to check from apex if your web services is enabled/available, then you could use apex callouts to try and make a call to it (and FWIW, the error code is from OAuth, and not from your apex web service)
I've got a website that runs on a shared hosting environment, using ASP.net 2.0 (C#) and MS SQL Server 2005. I've recently been asked if I can integrate my website with a piece of third party desktop software that uses the Access runtime as its database (transparent to the end user).
Primarily I want to be able to offer users of my website the option of exporting their data into the Access database on their local machine. The data schema's match sufficiently, the question is how to actually do this, and in the simplest way possible for the user.
Simply having a webpage update the local Access database isn't possible due to the obvious security restrictions. I've considered asking them to upload the Access database to the server, so I can migrate the data then allow them to download it again, however the competency of the users of this software is such that even locating the Access database, let alone uploading and downloading it from the website might be too complicated.
I've also considered if Adobe Air or Silverlight could help here, but don't know them well enough to know for sure. Similarly I'm assuming another exe could be written to perform this task that the user could simply download and run, however my experience is in web development, not program development, so this isn't a 100% certainty for me, or an ideal development option for me.
So, can this be done, and if so what technique can achieve this, with the stated aims being ease of use for the end user, followed by ease of development by someone with web development as their main skill. Many thanks!
You may find this answer of interest: Best way to stream files in ASP.NET
It is about transferring a file from the server. You could save Excel or CSV and use that to update Access.
Instead of trying to do this in a web page you might just expose some views from your sql server to some client specific logins.
Then within the Access application, allow them to tie to your sql server. You might even provide an access application for getting the data from your site and stuffing it in their local access database.
In my work we have done something similar that is transparent to the user by creating an ActiveX control. The problem is that you are limiting the users to use only Internet Explorer.
I think that the best way to achieve what you are trying to do is by installing a service in the client's computer. If creating a service is beyond your experience you can post a project in a place like oDesk and find somebody that can help you with the development for the money that you are willing to pay to complete your project.
Good Luck.
