Workspace
• Oracle Application Express enables a single database to host large numbers of users.
• Users work in a dedicated work area called a workspace.
• A workspace is a virtual private database that enables multiple users to work within the same Oracle
• 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.
• Flexible architecture enables a single database instance to manage thousands of applications.
• It turns a single database into a hosted service, making it an ideal platform for consolidation of smaller data stores.
