1 Workspace and Application Administration

In an Oracle Application Express development environment, users log in to a shared work area called a workspace. A workspace is a virtual private database that enables multiple users to work within the same Oracle Application Express installation while keeping their objects, data and applications private. This flexible architecture enables a single database instance to manage thousands of applications.

Developers can create and edit applications and view developer activity, session state, workspace activity, application, and schema reports. Workspace administrators additionally can create and edit user accounts, manage groups, and manage development services. This section describes how to perform Workspace administration tasks and access many of these reports.
