How to check the security of your application
Oracle Application Express has different in-built tools available to ensure security
within an application.
Oracle Application Express Advisor
The built-in Oracle Application Express Advisor is a tool that can be used to
check for performance issues, as well as performing checks for errors, security
issues, usability, and quality assurance. This utility is available in 4.0 and above.
The Advisor functions like a compiler or LINT lagging suspicious behavior or
errors.
LINT
is a utility that examines and analyses programs for style, usage, and
portability issues. By running the Advisor, you can check the integrity of your
application based on the underlying metadata.
