In this episode, Anton and Hayden unpack 3 gripes they have about APEX and include some useful workarounds.
1. Ignore “Length of Item or Tabular Form Column Name” APEX Advisor Warning
2. Don’t be confused when the audit recommendation from QuickSQL doesn’t work on apex.oracle.com
3. Although there is not declarative “execute RESTful data source” process type, you can use “Execute Code” and use apex_exec.execute_rest_source.
