Can Codex modify an existing Oracle APEX app?

I tried it with SQLcl MCP + APEXlang: schema inspection, page edits, validation, and import. Also sharing a real-world MCP autocommit pitfall.

Today, I had to ping this webpage to a cstmr, again...

Them: "We cant install SQL-Developer and SQLcl at customer - because oracle may want to charge for a license..."

me: Please Read This Page:

Testing. Probably something I should have mentioned in the post. AI helped with creating the test cases also but you again need to know what good looks like there. Because Codex had access to the DB also via SQLcl MCP it could run and check tests.

Want a #SQL script with all the differences between two Oracle Database schemas?

Use the Oracle SQLcl command:

diff -source -target

This creates a ZIP file with all the changes to make them match
