#oracle Cloud Support…14 days without a response…

[John Scott @aejes]

You can always trust the British public to name things well.

Is anyone else having this issue? Seems like the official Oracle Support position is that Oracle now control DBaaS APEX upgrades and customers can no longer download the patches to do it themselves?

This seems very odd positioning of DBaaS versus Autonomous.

#oracle #orclAPEX

[John Scott @aejes]

So if you have an Oracle DBaaS instance (non autonomous), it appears that you are no longer able to download APEX patches via MOS since the DBaaS Instance is deemed as “cloud” (ie Oracle manages it)

This seems like a huge oversight.

Oracle SQLcl now having MCP support is a huge productivity boost. Obviously caveats about source control, not letting it run wild in Production etc, but still this is really impressive.

@krisrice @thatjeffsmith and the team at @oracle have done an amazing job.

#oracle #sqlcl

[John Scott @aejes]

@krisrice @MCP_Community @Clinebot @cursor_ai @AnthropicAI It's going to be a game-changer for productivity.

(Obviously with caveats of source-control, don’t let your AI run riot in Production etc etc etc….)

This will be huge for the continued adoption of #orclAPEX #oracle

@mortenbraten @dgielis and as I said, I can only comment on what I built and how I built it. I have no working knowledge of other products.

[John Scott @aejes]

@mortenbraten @dgielis I definitely never claimed to come up with the concept of the JSON / template tags, that was all down to Docxtemplater and the other libraries I used at the time (I’m pretty sure I was 100% transparent in the presentation about the entire technology stack).

[John Scott @aejes]

@mortenbraten @dgielis It’s not my intention to highlight or comment on the history or functionality of anyone else’s Product, only reflecting on what I built and presented on all those years. AOP has been a well respected product and more importantly was brought to market.

[John Scott @aejes]

@JaysonHanes @oracleace A simple DM of "Hey next time, would you mind…” would have been a way better customer focused approach IMHO, that could have avoided this whole thread taking away from my original message....but as you say “this isn't a debate”

[John Scott @aejes]

With Oracle Application Express (APEX) and AI you can add some incredible features for your users to interpret and manipulate data like never before.

Loving building things like this.

@JaysonHanes @oracleace and for reference, I'm absolutely fine with “we'd just like to see only Oracle APEX everywhere.”, I can absolutely get behind that.

The message was good, the delivery was not.

@JaysonHanes @oracleace You’ve lost me with “I'm not sure why it's not clear”, What have I said I'm unclear on?
