I’m making a database of an imaginary Airport that has a simplified physical model of 10 tables. The final part is to make some kind of web-based GUI for users, I have three general types of them: airport manager, airline representative and user/visitor of the airport website.
Currently I’m planning to build the interface with Oracle APEX and my concerns are about if it suites the target. I need several views for every type of user. So I need flight table for visitors and different control panels for airport manager and airline representative (manager has more power :), representative can only change flight information on rows related to HIS company etc.). Can I do it with APEX and will I be able to implement PL/SQL triggers and procedures myself?
I’m asking because APEX installation is a time-consuming task and I don’t want it to be a time-wasting one…
Thanks in advance.
Yes, Apex is probably easier than any other tool to build such an application, and it has all the flexibility you could possibly need to handle these requirements. You can use Authorisation Schemes to give each type of user access to different pages, and to different information and functionality within pages.
