About Application Express page
The information on this page can be very useful when you're developing and debugging APEX applications.
In fact, the About page is an excellent location from which to quickly get an overview of your particular APEX instance.
Because APEX is stored in the database, all the values in the figure can also be obtained from a query. For example,
you can find the database version from the following query:
SELECT *
FROM v$version
