Key truths about Oracle APEX:

APEX eliminates middle tier application logic: APEX runs entirely within the Oracle Database, using PL/SQL and SQL for logic, bypassing traditional middle-tier servers (e.g., Java EE). This simplifies architecture and boosts performance.

You can build interactive reporting apps based on data from disparate systems: Via REST Data Sources, database links, or ORDS, APEX integrates data from external systems, enabling unified reporting (e.g., combining on-premises and cloud data).

Needs client software: False; APEX is web-based, requiring only a browser.
