For a product that has the top 2 or 3 posts on the Oracle TechNet forums it sure is strange that so many people in the Oracle arena have never heard of it. <BR/><BR/>I would like to see Oracle give Apex a bit of a push, but I expect they like to see these things grow 'organically'. Which is a shame, as due to it's pairing with XE, it really could be a genuine My-SQL killer. Imagine if all those hosting companies had Apex as an option, that really would raise it's profile.Paul Brookeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13062557724899647553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-2544674548393839492008-05-13T03:45:00.000-04:002008-05-13T03:45:00.000-04:00It looks to me that the current version (3.0) of D...It looks to me that the current version (3.0) of DanceTunes.com site has changed technology and it is now using PHP instead of Apex. <BR/>Just have a look for yourself at the web page sources and look for "php"...<BR/><BR/>Time to remove it from the list??<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>PaoloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-25634192579325568572008-05-12T22:14:00.000-04:002008-05-12T22:14:00.000-04:00It's incredibly easy to understand.1.
