Before Starting the Conversion Process

Before starting a conversion project, it is important to learn how to build applications with Oracle Application Express. The first step is to install Oracle Application Express within an Oracle Database instance. Oracle Application Express requires an Oracle database that is release 9.2.0.3 or later. To learn more, see Oracle Application Express Installation Guide. To learn how to build applications based on existing Oracle database tables, review Oracle Database 2 Day + Application Express Developer's Guide.

The Oracle Application Express development environment utilizes wizards within a declarative environment and enables you to easily extend components using SQL and PL/SQL. You can further extend the Oracle Application Express framework by incorporating JavasScript and Asynchronous JavasScript and XML (AJAX). To learn more, see "Implementing Business Logic".
