Databases Reference
In-Depth Information
Although this isn't likely to be the final version of the data model, it's probably complete enough for a start.
Using your ERD tool, you could go ahead and generate the database object creation scripts and then upload and run
them through APEX SQL Workshop's SQL Scripts interface. However, because your data model is so small, in the next
chapter you use the Object Browser tool to create the objects from scratch.
Summary
Identifying the problems your APEX application is supposed to solve is only half the battle. Good database design—and
designing specifically with APEX in mind—is the key to creating a successful APEX application. Taking the time to
make sure you have a solid foundation means you can take full advantage of everything APEX gives you so that there
is less work to do later.
