Determining the Oracle Application Express Engine Schema

A schema is a logical container for the database objects. Oracle Application Express administrators may need to perform certain actions within the Application Express engine schema. For example, in order for an Oracle Application Express administrator to have the ability to assign Oracle default schemas, the database administrator (DBA) must explicitly grant the privilege by running the APEX_SITE_ADMIN.UNRESTRICT_SCHEMA procedure within the Application Express engine.

To determine the current Application Express engine schema for your Oracle Application Express instance:

Use SQL*Plus to connect to the database.

Run the following query in a schema with DBA privileges (for example, SYSTEM).

SELECT TABLE_OWNER FROM all_synonyms
WHERE SYNONYM_NAME = 'WWV_FLOW' and OWNER = 'PUBLIC'
