Large, mission critical applications are often unavailable for long periods of time while database objects are patched or upgraded. Here, crossedition triggers propagate data changes made by the new edition into the columns of the old edition. When the installation of the changes is complete, some users start to use the new edition while others drain off the old edition. Crossedition triggers propagate data changes made by the old edition into the columns of the new edition. Editioning views expose a different projection of each changed table into each edition to allow each to see just its own columns. When needed, changes to data are made safely by writing only to new columns or new tables not seen by the old edition. The changes are made in the child edition while you continue to use the parent edition. The DBA creates a new edition as a child of the existing one. These new capabilities complement existing Oracle Application Express security features some of which include flexible authentication, authorization schemes, and URL tampering protection.Įdition-based redefinition allows an application's database objects to be changed without interrupting the application's availability by making the changes in the privacy of a new edition.

The additional declarative security capabilities make it easier for developers and administrators to harden the security of their applications and the development environment. This, together with other minor improvements, makes the default security functionality more robust within Oracle Application Express.

In addition, administrators can now restrict password reuse. Other features include reducing the privileges required by the Oracle Application Express database account, disabling database monitoring by default, and the ability to specify HTTPS for administration. Key enhancements include the ability to declaratively encrypt session state and specify session time outs for maximum idle time and maximum session duration as well as create new password item types that enable users to enter passwords without ever saving them to session state. Oracle Application Express offers a number of security enhancements.
