Oracle11GR2 XE default is to install oracle application express 4.2. Follow the steps below to upgrade to 5.0. From the interface point of view, 5.0 is more inclined to the style of Web2.0.
1. Download apex_5.0.zip and extract it to a local directory. Suppose you unzip to the d:\apex50 directory. The compressed package comes with the directory apex. :
In the directory d:\apex50\apex, connect to the database as SYSDBA and execute:
@ apexins.sql SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
The above script will upgrade APEX
2. Load relevant pictures and execute with SYSDBA:
@ apex_epg_config.sql D:\APEX50
The second parameter is the directory where the zip is decompressed. The script will automatically go to the next level apex\images to load the image.
Since the HTTP port will be closed during the upgrade, it is also necessary to execute:,
EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT(8080);
After executing the above, you can use localhost:8080/apex to log in to APEX, but only the English interface is supported at this time.
If you want to add support for the Chinese interface, you need to do the following:
set nls_lang= AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
Enter the D:\APEX50\apex\builder\zh-cn directory and connect to the database with SYSDBA
alter session set current_schema=APEX_050000;
@ load-zh-cn.sql
The character set must be set to AL32UTF8 first, otherwise an error will be reported when running load-zh-cn.sql.
After the execution, when you log in to APEX, you will find more simplified Chinese interface prompts.
