5 Using RESTful Services

RESTful Services enable the declarative specification of RESTful services used to access the database. These services work with the Oracle Application Express Listener to enable the consumption of these services. This section describes how to create, edit and delete RESTful Services.

Note:

If the instance administrator has disabled RESTful Services for this Application Express instance, RESTful Services are not available for this instance and the RESTful Services icon does not display. See "Configuring SQL Workshop" in Oracle Application Express Administration Guide.
