Working with Sample Data

2.2 Working with Sample Data

While you are learning Oracle APEX, if you don't already have an existing set of database tables to experiment with, you can work initially with built-in sample data.

When creating new pages in App Builder, just select Sample Data for the Data Source as shown below.
