Generate intelligent enterprise apps you can trust with Oracle APEX AI Application Generator

Oracle APEX AI Application Generator helps organizations use AI to create secure, scalable, data-driven enterprise applications on the Oracle Database that you can trust.

Announcing Oracle APEX 26.2

APEX 26.2 includes enhancements to APEXlang, AI agents, AI Interactive Reports and Oracle Deep Data Security integration. Read about the full details here.

The enterprise does not need another tool that simply generates more code. It needs a way to capture AI’s development speed without transferring the cost into security exposure, governance complexity, and complex maintenance. APEXlang is notable because Oracle is not trying to compete with the leading coding agents. Rather it gives those agents a structured target, then uses the established APEX and Oracle AI Database stack to manage execution, data access, and security. That is a key distinction for Oracle customers.

Dave VellanteChief Analyst, theCUBE Research

And with APEXLang, Oracle leverages exactly this architectural differentiator by generating application-defining artifacts with the help of AI agents. The result is artifacts that are more easily readable than the code generated by other platforms, all while operating on and inside Oracle AI Database.

Holger MuellerConstellation Research

The limits low-code platforms once treated as an embarrassment turn out to be their most durable asset, and the reason has nothing to do with development speed. A definition language narrow enough to review, sitting on a database that enforces policy whatever the definition says, is what decides in advance what your organization will still be holding in three years. This is bigger than one product launch. Low-code is being reborn on the very terms it used to apologize for, and other platforms with a runtime worth defending will land in the same place.

APEXlang: the Application Definition Language

APEX 26.2 continues to enhance APEXlang, a declarative, human-readable application definition language for Oracle APEX applications.

APEXlang gives developers and AI agents a supported way to express application intent as structured metadata that can be reviewed, versioned, governed, and executed by APEX.

  • Human-readable application definitions
  • Version, review, and govern application intent
  • A foundation for AI-assisted development

Learn about APEXlang

Built on a foundation you can trust

Oracle APEX runs on the Oracle Database, inheriting all of the enterprise-grade security and governance capabilities.  And trusting that your data will be secure is even more important in the age of AI.

Developers build and deploy applications knowing that data access, user management, and application behavior are managed within a consistent, enterprise-ready environment.

Database Security

Oracle APEX is tightly integrated with Oracle Database security features, including encryption, data protection, and hardened infrastructure, ensuring your applications benefit from decades of proven innovation.

Access control

Define exactly who can see and do what with fine-grained control over users, roles, and data access—down to the row and column level when needed.

Auditing

Track and monitor application activity with comprehensive auditing capabilities, giving you visibility into user actions and helping support security reviews and investigations.

Data Isolation

Built on a secure, multi-tenant architecture, Oracle APEX ensures strong separation of data and workloads across applications and users, protecting sensitive information.

Compliance

Support regulatory and organizational requirements with features designed for governance, risk management, and compliance across industries and regions.

Identity Integration

Easily federate with popular identity providers (IdPs) to enable single sign-on and centralized identity management without complex configuration.
