It’s free, and if you’re happy with Oracle XE’s limitations, then it’s perfect, you have the database free as well. I’ve been following APEX for long time ago, since it was called HTML DB, and wrote 2+ years ago a guide how to install APEX on XE.

Now APEX 4.0.1 is GA and most of the people would like to upgrade. It’s very simple.

1. Download APEX from OTN

2. Unzip it making sure you don’t change the name of the apex folder inside the zip.

unzip apex_4.0.1.zip /tmp/
cd /tmp/apex

3. Connect to your XE installation

sqlplus / as sysdba

4. Run the installation script

SQL> @apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/

5. Wait 10-15 minutes then connect again as sysdba and import images

SQL>@apxldimg.sql /tmp

!do not put the “apex” folder in the path there

That’s it, no more unlock account, set password, set port, you already did this on the previous installation.

Enjoy!

    I’ve been asked many times if there is possible to install Oracle Application Express on Express Edition of 10g database, both of them being free products. The answer is YES, and the procedure is quite simple, as very well indicated on Oracle website

    The steps would be:

    • Download the latest version from APEX website
    • Unzip the archive in a convenient location on your hard-disk
    • Start a SQL*Plus from that location( C:\apex\> sqlplus / as sysdba )
    • Install apex:
      @apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
    • Change admin password:
      @apxchpwd
    • Set images path (APEX_HOME is the folder where you unziped the archive):
      @APEX_HOME/apex/apxldimg.sql APEX_HOME
    • Run the following script where “password” is the admin password set 2 steps before:
      @APEX_HOME/apex/apxxepwd.sql password

    Good luck
