Chapter 5. Reporting and Charting
As developers, we sometimes get caught up in the fun of creating applications — applications that implement all kinds of logic, that perform cool tricks to help users enter and update data, and that are pleasing to the eye and the mouse.
But as we focus only on applications, we tend to concentrate on entering, updating, and deleting data. These processes are, in the real world, typically just precursors to unlocking the real power of collected data through reports and charts.
Oracle Application Express makes it as easy to generate powerful and flexible reports as it does to create data access pages. In this chapter, you will create some more sophisticated reports and explore the ways that users can interact with the reports.
