# apex-source-control
Scripts for bringing Oracle Application Express applications into version control, any version control tool may be used.
Scripts are designed to work with Linux and OSX (Will not work on Windows).
Introducing file-based version-control for Oracle Application Express apps!
* Designed to be used by teams who want to bring their experience in version-control and APEX development together.
* Any version-control tool can be used, not just git.
* Tested on Linux and OSX (Windows not supported)
These scripts were designed using [this paper] (http://www.rwijk.nl/AboutOracle/psdua.pdf) as reference.
If you have questions about workflow or any other concepts you should look for answers there first.
There's a lot of good information about directory structure and general developer workflow so it's definitely worth a read.
It should be noted that if you decide to read the paper we have changed the names/functions of the scripts slightly: file-to-apex=install_apex.sql; uninstall-apex=uninstall_apex.sql; and apex-to-file=apexupdate.sh (Except we don't auto-update using subversion in order to leave more user freedom)
## Setup
#### Required files and environment variables
For these scripts to work you need the APEXExport.class and APEXExportSplitter.class which come with [APEX] (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/downloads/index.html) as well as [ojdbc6.jar] (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/apps-tech/jdbc-112010-090769.html) which comes with Oracle database.
