The very name of the product – Application Express (APEX) – suggests that this is a tool solely for building applications, and thus it should belong solely in the realm of developers. But that is underselling the ability of APEX to be a perfect use case for a different IT demographic – the Database Administrator. In this episode I present my reasons for why APEX is a vital part of the DBA toolkit, and how a DBA using APEX can free up their time to more efficiently manage the databases in their organisation.

Enjoy!
