Object Browser in Oracle Apex Workshop

Intro to Object Browser in Oracle Apex Workshop

Topic Introduction: To develop a web application we use Oracle Apex. It has some powerful features. After installing Oracle Apex we create one or more workspaces. Every workspace has an Object Browser which provides a graphical interface to interact with the database easily. It enables developers to browse, create, and edit objects in a database. Suppose we use the Apex Object browser no need for any other tools to interact with the Oracle database. In that case, it allows you to create, modify, delete, drop, and do all other database-related work.

To go to the Object browser follow the step.

1. Log in to the workspace

2. Click on SQL Workshop

3. Click on Object Browser

Object Browser Interface On Oracle Apex Workshop

This Object Browser page is divided into two panes

• Object Selection Pane
• Detail Pane

Object Selection Pane: It displays on the left side of the Object Browser page and lists database objects. Object type show according to the selected type above within the current schema such as a table, view, function, procedure, package and etc. For example, if you choose a view from the drop-down list, the view list will be shown below. if you choose trigger will show all trigger lists.  you can also filter by object name that will give the result by matched object name.

Detail Pane: It displays to the right of the page and displays detailed information about the selected object. To view object details, select an object in the Object Selection pane. Click the tabs at the top of the Detail pane to view additional details about the current object. from here we can utilize this option to see each description of each table, its column properties, constraints, indexes, and triggers including contents. It also allows us to make any changes to a table's descriptions or data.

Consultation: To sum up I will say that the Object browser is the most important part of the oracle apex workshop. without the above description, there has much more functionality that I can't describe within a short time. During real-time use, you will be able to see the proper functionality. If you have any more queries about this, you can ask here for a solution. I will try my best.
