Good to hear this officially, although today it is April Fools day and to make the post a little bit more interesting, I added some falvour to it. As you mentioned as well "...it has no foundation, nor historical precedent. I am not aware of any current or future plans..." To be honest, I don't know of any off such rumours (the ones I refered to), but thinking of a good April Fools remark, this was one that poped into my mind. When I think about it, I am even a APEX eleterate regarding what happens out there in the APEX atmoshere. I know that the APEX community can count of a enormous amont of enthousiast as it should be because I think it is a cool product. Hoping no harm done, Sincerely, Marco Gralike Sr. Oracle DBA Thank you very much Mr. Davis Peake for your remark.

Something with mixed licensing model like Berkley DB would be a perfect candidate for port, if Oracle ever thinks about it. Being a realist, I understand that this is not likely to happen. I love Oracle DB (and use it a lot in my "day job"), but it does have quite a large admin overhead for a simple non-commercial website... I love Apex too, this is an incredible tool - thanks a lot guys for doing such a great job! All jokes aside, a development concept similar to Apex on a “free” DB would rock.

I am not aware of any current or future plans to charge licensing fees for APEX. The majority of our development tools are no-cost options or free, many of which run on the Windows platform. Oracle Application Express requires only a Web browser and as such is not installed anywhere other than the database, which can be installed on a very wide variety of operating systems (including Microsoft). Oracle certainly does understand the potential of APEX as seen by our decision to embed APEX within the seed 11g Database. We plan to incorporate the latest version possible of APEX into 11gR2. Regards, David Peake Product Manager - Oracle Application Express Marco,
