Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a web-based application development tool that allows users to build applications for the Oracle database without needing to write code. It provides an integrated development environment and runtime environment. Key features include browser-based application building, integrated SQL tools, declarative development, and security. The APEX workspace provides a private development space within a shared Oracle APEX installation. Users can access tools like the SQL workshop, object browser, and utilities to work with database objects and scripts.
