3.9.1 About the Advantages of Using Runtime Environment
An runtime environment enables you to run production applications, but does not provide a web interface for administration or direct development of these applications.
Oracle recommends that you run any sensitive production Oracle Application Express applications with a runtime installation of Oracle Application Express. A runtime installation does not expose the web-based application development environment, thus preventing the use of App Builder, SQL Workshop, and related utilities on a production installation. Additionally, a runtime environment only includes the Oracle Application Express database objects and privileges necessary to run applications, making it a more hardened environment.
