Database Reference
In-Depth Information
This section lets you define any number of pre-installation validations to be run. These
validations are similar to normal page validation and allow full control over whether
the application installation can proceed. You may have as many validations as you
wish, and the validations may be conditional as well.
If any validation fails, the installation is halted, and the user is presented with the er-
ror message(s) defined in the failing validation(s).
Install
This is the core of supporting objects and where you define what scripts to run and in
what order to install all the objects your applications need to work properly. Here you
can create and manage scripts that install database objects, workspace or application
images, CSS files, static files, and so on. Depending on the type of scripts you're in-
cluding, you may be able to create them in different ways.
When it comes to scripts that create the underlying database objects, you've prob-
ably used a tool such as SQL Developer or the SQL Workshop's Generate DDL tool to
generate a script to a file.
You can choose to either upload a pre-created script or create the script from
scratch. You do so via the Create Script Wizard shown in
Figure 10-15
.

Create Script Wizard
Choosing Create from Scratch presents you with a script-editing screen where you
can type in the script steps from scratch or copy and paste the script from a text editor.
However, if you already have the script stored in a file, you may want to use the Create
from File option, which allows you to upload the script from your local computer.
