V 1.8.77 Release Note
New features
on page Manage Schema
1. Export UI Defaults
Enables you to download a UI Defaults definition PL/SQL script file for tables of the current schema with additional attributes like optimal width, max length, format masks, and LOVs for references, Yes/No fields, and check constraints with IN-Lists.
You can import this file with APEX to improve the default appearance of new forms on your tables.
Example: https://github.com/dstrack/Schema_Data_Browser/blob/master/Examples/hr_uidefaults.sql
2. Export Updatable Views - download a PL/SQL Script with Create View statements for updatable views.
The data browser displays this kind of view as report variant 'Import View'.
In the Dialog Window 'Show query' you can choose 'Create View' to see the Script for the currently selected table. The setting for 'Import Controls' (Compare Case Insensitive, Search keys unique, Search keys unique) and UNIQUE CONSTRAINTS for the display values of you LOVs will control the generation of these views.
The views will have INSTEAD OF INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE triggers that will manage the processing of DML statements on those views.
You can import and execute this file with the APEX "SQL Workshop / Scripts" page to install this views. You may use this view as a data source in Interactive Grid.
There you will be able to search in the display values based on LOV for references,
and you will be able to edit data in each column.
Example: https://github.com/dstrack/Schema_Data_Browser/blob/master/Examples/hr_imp_views.sql
Bugfix: The generated query SQL code for rendering the form will call APEX_ESCAPE.HTML for character columns to prevent Cross-Site Scripting.
The bug was discovered by Ved Prabhu from Bangalore, India, and then reported by Joel R. Kallman from Oracle.
Bugfix: The processing for the Button 'Duplicate Schema' on the Home page has been fixed.
UI-Appearance Option: Added a global control to show or hide Breadcrumbs below the page title. The control can be set by the online user via the Navigation Bar menu.
Data Browser: The style of the View Mode Navigation List has been changed to Navigation Tabs to improve the highlighting of the current View Mode.
The entries for 'Entity Relationship Diagram' and 'Springy Diagram' have been removed from the View Mode Navigation List and have been added to the 'Actions' menu.
Improved descriptions and help text and improved german translation of the App UI.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Features of the Data Browser
The key functionality of the SQL query and PL/SQL generators
1. Produce a description of any record
Candidate keys are detected and serve as the unique display column set to describe any table record in LOVs, References, Record Labels, Link Labels.
2. Identify any record
Primary keys are detected and serve as internal identifiers that are hidden from the users. Functions to produce new identities(from sequence or sys_guid), references (columns Link_ID$, Row_Selector$), and access methods (by column name or ROWID) are automatically applied.(Weak constraint definitions like unique index definition are also detected and considered)
2. Produce formatted descriptions
Any Number and Date field will be formatted with predefined or calculated format masks.
3. Produce recursive description
Any foreign key in the display column set is replaced by the reference target description.
4. Perform reverse key lookups
This functionality is used to process imported data without any programming.
Any data that is entered or loaded in unique description fields from joined tables can be reduced to new or existing primary key values. This is possible when the tables have primary keys and candidate keys defined and the referenced rows exist or can be inserted because no constraint is violated.
Rows can be inserted when the table definition has default value or functions for all required columns that are not included in the view or that are empty in the import dataset. Required columns must have default values or can be initialized from the context (container references).
5. Produce a description of any relation
For any foreign key constraint, a description of the reference source and target is composed to produce Report Labels, LOV queries, master-details reports. The relationship of tables is used to produce a navigation tree there tables are shows as childs of parent tables when they have foreign key references to that parent table.
6. Produce a description of any reference
Any foreign key column can be replaced by a description of the reference target. The replacement can produce multiple formatted columns. Unique columns headers are produced by combining source column names and target table names.
7. Produce composed description
The columns of a tables display column set can be concatenated with predefined delimiters to produce a composed description. The composed description is used to produce the display values required in 'Select List' und 'Popup List of Values' form items and in for link labels.
8. Produce human-readable and updatable views on any sufficiently defined table.
All available information from the data dictionary is aggregated in snapshot views for fast access. Functional programming is applied to enable spontaneous query and code generation. A query generator is invoked to produce new functions that render reports and forms. Code generators are invoked to produce new functions that perform controlled and correct data manipulations.
9. The system catalog is the single source for table and column names and there attributes.
With name pattern matching, functional properties are applied to matching columns. Any changes in the system catalog are reflected immediately in the rendered reports and forms. Spontaneous changes to the running applications are supported. Projects with an agile workflow and DevOp projects are possible. But projects with more conservative demands are also supported. It is possible to model forms and reports and then extract and copy the generated SQL Queries and PL/SQL Code. You can use it as UI Defaults, in static Apex pages, in the Data Reporter App, and PL/SQL libraries. The report queries can be extracted as updatable views that can be utilized in Apex Interactive Grids.
Forms
Dynamically produced tabular and single record forms in Readonly or Edit Mode for any table.
Changes in the schema definition are reflected immediately in the rendered forms.
Produce Field labels
Detect and removes common column prefixes and postfixes.
Compose unique field names for columns of joined tables.
Column Infos
Help Text with column comments, format mask, description of constraints, functional meaning, statistics: Min, Max, Count, Density.
Developers have options to alter the comments and constraints (range of permitted values).
Produce a diverse variety of input fields
Including formatted numbers, date, date-time, timestamp, text, multiline textbox, office documents, images, boolean (Yes/No switch),
Popup links and modal dialogs for 'Rich Text Editor', PDF preview, Office document preview, Image Preview, 'Select Lists' and 'Popup List of Values' (LOVs). LOVs are produced for foreign key columns and check constraints that define value lists. (Example constraints: col_x references table_y; check (col_x in (1, 2, 3)); check (col_y = 1 or col_y = 3) ).
Boolean fields are detected by analysing constraints, default, datatype, length, nullable, cardinality, contradictions and column name pattern.
Functional fields for row selection, link to single record views, ordering rows in a set, hashed passwords, encrypted passwords, file metadata, audit information.
Logical enclosed references are suppressed in the default display column sets. This is done to avoid the display of redundant information. These hidden columns are automatically initialized in key lookup and DML operations.
Automatic validations
When an input field is changed, validations are performed immediately. Any simple check, size limit, reference, or unique constraint defined in the data dictionary is evaluated. On submit of the form any complex check constraint and required constraint defined in the data dictionary is evaluated.
Navigation links
Produce links to parent, childrens, and sister records.
Report Variants
In 'Form View' reports all normal columns of the selected table are displayed. Serial primary key column and audit columns are hidden by default. In read-only mode, foreign key columns display the labels of the referenced rows. In edit mode, foreign key columns are LOV popup or select list fields with automatically composed labels. When available, additional functional columns can be displayed via the actions/columns menu option. In 'Form View', 'Navigation Counter' and 'Navigation Links' reports the height and width of large text blocks and images is constrained to keep the reports readable. When you click on images or document icon, a document preview modal dialog window is opened. In edit mode you can click on text cells with a pen icon to edit large text fields in an HTML-Editor modal dialog window. Column Limits:View up to 100 columns, Edit up to 60 columns.)
'Navigation Counter' reports by default only display the natural key columns (labels), counters of references and totals of the active table. For each foreign key that references the current table, a column with count of references to a row is displayed. Depending on the setting of the 'Nested View' option, a click on a counter opens the references in a nested table view or on a separate report page. When available, additional functional columns can be displayed via the Actions/Columns menu option. When a number column of a child table is marked a 'Summand' via the Action/Alter Column Rules Dialog, totals for that columns will be displayed.
'Navigation Links' reports by default only display the natural key columns (labels) and totals for the current table. For each foreign key that references the current table, a column with a list of Links to child rows is displayed. A click on a Link opens the reference in a dialog page. When available, additional functional columns can be displayed via the actions/columns menu option. When a number column of a child table is marked a 'Summand' via the Action/Alter Column Rules Dialog, totals for that columns will be displayed.
'Raw Record' reports by default display all data columns of the selected table. Serial primary key column are hidden by default. Foreign key columns display the internal numeric values as stored in the database.
In 'Import View' reports all normal data columns of the selected table are displayed. Serial primary key column and audit columns are hidden by default. In read-only form, foreign key columns display the labels of the referenced rows, while in edit forms, foreign key columns are LOV popup or select list fields of individual label columns. In case of composite labels each component column is displayed as a separate column. The default report column list is suitable for data export and imports. The data import process can validate a convert CSV data files with columns that match the report columns layout. Then the lookup of foreign key references is automatically performed. Depending on the import setting, new lookup values for foreign keys are inserted in the referenced tables or error messages are produced when that is not permitted. When the natural key values (or chosen display columns values) of the imported data matches with existing rows in the current table, then the data is merged for that rows and the data is inserted in new rows when that keys don't match.
In 'Export View' reports by default all normal data columns of the current and the parent table are displayed by default. The serial primary key column and audit columns are hidden by default. Foreign key columns display the natural keys (labels) of the referenced rows. In the case of composite natural keys (labels) each component column is displayed as a separate column. In the modal dialog for Action/Columns Join Options are displayed. You can set the join options to systematically add columns of the referenced tables for each foreign key reference of the current table. After setting the 'All columns' Join option for a table, you can include further columns of the referenced table recursively up to the root of the keys. Independent of your settings, the report will produce one output row for each row in the current report table.
In 'History View' reports old versions of the table data can be displayed. The normal data columns and audit information is displayed by default. For foreign key columns, the composed label values are displayed. When the historic data differs from the current row values, that values are highlighted with different table cell background colors. Row changes have to be recorded in a change log to support the History Views. You have to enable the option 'Enable Change Log Support' in the Settings/Edit History Settings dialog page to enable this recording.
In 'Calendar' views data from the current table is displayed in Calendar regions. The natural keys (labels) are displayed in calendar sheets when a calendar start-date and optional end-date column has been registered for the current table.
In 'Tree View' views data from the current table is displayed in a Tree.The natural keys (labels) are displayed as tree nodes when a parent reference column has been registered for the current table. A parent reference is a foreign key reference to the same table with empty parent references for the root nodes.
Tabular form
You can add multiple new rows with default values. At least one empty row will be displayed. Show protected rows as display-only in edit forms. The program supports ordering, text search, pagination
Single record view
The form can be rendered with 1,2 or 3 column layout.
Publish Reports
A connection to the Data Reporter App enables the publication of reports to other users. Application users and whitelisted tables are automatically synchronized into the Data Reporter App. Any report view can be exported as a data source for the Data Reporter App.
Export formats - Form, HTML, CSV, Native
Data can be rendered in
HTML read-only - with formatted data, scroll boxes for large text, and highlighted search matches.
HTML input - with input fields for data entry
Native - unformatted for Interactive Reports,
CSV - Unicode text files with comma-separated values for downloads.
Export / Import Cycle
Data from the Import Views can be exported in CSV files to the user's desktop. The columns template of the import view specifies a logical column set that contains all data columns and no serial primary or foreign keys and only display key columns of the referenced tables. The columns template can be downloaded and used as a specification for successful data transfer. On the desktop, the users can alter rows, or append new rows with other applications like MS Excel on Mac Numbers and produce a CSV file.
The user can import CSV files into an APEX collection. After the Import of the file, the data will be automatically validated and a first key lookup is performed. The data is loaded into a temporary collection and ais displayed in an edit form. Validation messages are shown at grid cells with bad data. The user can manually fix the errors by entering new data.
After the inspection of the imported file, the user can perform the import by pressing the 'process import' button. The program will perform the processing to update and insert rows in the database.
Import control parameter provides some flexibility to influence the key lookup processing:
Compare Case Insensitive: Allow the keys lookup process to the match text column values case insensitive.
Search keys unique: Require unique constraints for the imported lookup column sets.
Insert new foreign keys: Allow the process to insert new rows in lookup tables. When empty key columns are looked up, the program matches rows with empty columns in the lookup table. When other columns but the key columns are imported, then the table schema should be in the third normal form. There should be no columns that are dependent on other columns but the primary or candidate keys.
Simple data manipulations
Perform validations, lookups, and DML processing for any table.
Sequences that related to a table are detected and then used to produce new identities.
Change checks are produced to process only relevant rows and to verify that updated rows have not been changed by other users.
The processing of the insert, update or delete operations produces confirmation messages.
Success messages inform you about the number of affected rows.
Error messages will report any validation or processing error.
Validation errors will appear near the corresponding fields in the form.
Advanced data manipulations
Function to duplicate selected rows.
In the context of a container reference, there are functions to copy, move, and merge sets of data.
Convenience
The application stores and remembers your settings for the last accessed table, view mode, column layout, and order between sessions.
Sessions can last up to 10 hours before a new login is required.
When buttons and menus are invoked by the user, ca. 300 dynamic actions perform the processing and (partial screen updates). This enables fast processing and improved user experience.
Field validation is performed when you leave a field.
Required-checks are postponed until you submit the form, to avoid needless complaints.
Light and Dark Display Themes.
German and English versions of the interface.
Security
Custom Authorisation - Only registered users can access the Application.
all generated links in the application are protected with APEX checksums.
Manage User Accounts with access levels, hashed passwords, e-mail validation, request a new password, invite users via e-mail.
Control visibility of tables with table name pattern for inclusion, exclusion, admin only.
Control write access with table name pattern for edit, read-only.
Control (default) visibility of columns with column name pattern for display labels (always), data deduction, hidden, ignored.
Deny write access to rows with column name pattern for read-only access.
Developer tools

UI Defaults
Optimize the column descriptions and export them as UI Defaults. UI Defaults will boost productivity when new forms and reports are produced with APEX. A complete set of column attributes is prepared. included attributes are: column label, datatype, input field length, max field length, required/mandatory, format masks, static default value, static LOV definitions, dynamic LOV definitions, help text (with column comments, format mask, check constraints).
Diagrams
Entity Relationship Diagrams
Database Object Dependencies
Dynamic Actions of Apex Pages
The diagrams are rendered using a dynamic springy layout method that is self-optimized and interactive. The user, can zoom, resize, drag and pane to inspect complex relationships and find missing links.
DDL tools
The application derives all attributes of the tables and columns from the schema definitions and the configuration settings of ca. 50 name patterns. For most patterns, common default values exist. The tables that are designed with this application will match the pattern defaults. All data definition statements are written into the app_protocol table.
Definition of new tables
Choose from templates to add functional columns:
Parent Tables
Referenced tables (Container, Optional Container, Required, Optional)

Drop Column - Remove a column from a table.
Schema & Data Browser V 1.8.64 Release Note
The diagram renderer:
- Beside the diagrams there is now a control panel for all diagram parameters that can be adjusted with immediate visual feedback.
- Zoom: lets you fluently zoom the canvas viewport in a factor range from 1 to 12 X.
- Font size: lets you adjust the size of the nodes relative to the canvas and edges.
An initial font size is calculated for new diagrams depending on the square root of the count of nodes.
You can adjust the font size, to either put the focus on the nodes or on the edges.
With very small font size, the automatic layout is performed at the highest frame rate.
min. Energy: defines a threshold level where the program stops the calculation of updates for node positions.
Set 'min. Energy' to 0 or greater, when you want to stop the processing intensive calculations.
max. Speed: defines the maximal speed of the moving nodes during automatic layout.
Stiffness: defines the force that pulls two nodes together when they are connected via an edge – Rubber band effect.
Repulsion: defines the force that is repelling other nodes nearby.
Damping: defines a factor that is reducing the applied forces, to slow down the movements.
- The performance of the algorithms to calculate the forces are improved by a factor of 10, so that you can now render diagram of up to 2000 nodes and edges fluently.
- In order to avoid shaking nodes when the stiffness is cranked up, a counterweight algorithm has been added. The algorithm automatically adjusts the nodes weight dependent on the degree of connections.
The diagram editor
- On the Page 'Springy Diagram' you can alter individual node properties (Shape, Text, Color, Active) with immediate visual feedback.
- Node colors can be chosen from a popup dialog window of HTML color names.
- There are now buttons to control the zoom factor and font size when no mouse wheel is available.
- There is now an auto-focus button to give you an optimal view on a selected node.
- Resizing of the diagram canvas and multiple canvas are now supported. The legends of the database diagrams are now active springy diagrams.
- Many graphical and processing errors have been fixed.
- Support for touch pad: select node, move node, move canvas, zoom canvas, zoom font size
- A smart selection method enables you, to logically select related node via their directed graph's edges using one of the methods:
- 'Selected' highlights just the clicked node and its edges.
- 'Downstream' highlights all nodes that a connected via edges in arrow direction; useful for following a signal in an APEX Dynamic Actions diagram and to select dependent objects (children) in a dependencies diagram.
- 'Upstream' highlights all nodes that a connected via edges in the reverse arrow direction; useful to select depends on objects (parents) in a dependencies diagram.
- 'Connected' highlights all nodes that a connected via edges in both arrow directions; useful to select independent modules in the pool of objects in a database schema. You can crank up the stiffness parameter to make the module separation more obvious.
- 'Pin' Button – a flip state button
- active: sets a heavyweight in touched nodes, with the effect that the nodes stick where they are. (weight=10000)
- inactive: sets a lightweight in touched nodes, with the effect that the nodes float to their optimal position. (weight=10)
- The Actions Menu has now function to
- Save as:, for schema diagrams this action enables you the save the current diagram as a named springy diagram for later use.
- Exempt Selected: hide all nodes that are not selected. (active=N)
- Hide Selected: hide all nodes that are selected. (active=N)
- Show All: sets all nodes to visible (active=Y)
- Freeze / Lock All: sets a heavy weight in all nodes, with the effect that the nodes stick where they are. (weight=10000)
- Melt / Unlock All: sets a light weight in all nodes, with the effect that the nodes float to their optimal position. (weight=10)
- Edit Diagram properties: lets you edit the numerical diagram parameter and lets you delete a diagram.
Data Browser – Import View
- Importing Database Object Dependencies
the software package includes the file Object_Dependencies_Export.sql
- Install the views on an oracle instance via the SQL developer application and then execute the following statements:
select * from APP_OBJECT_DIAGRAM_EDGES_V;
select * from APP_OBJECT_DIAGRAM_NODES_V;
- Save the output of the query results as two CSV files on your desktop.
- Navigate in this app to the data browser (page 30),
select the table name 'Diagram Nodes' or 'Diagram Edges' below the table 'Springy Diagrams',
select the import view in the report-modes navigation bar and then begin the import by clicking on the Import button.
- The import processing has been improved. When the importer displays data validation errors,
You can now rearrange the columns in the proper order.
That will trigger a re-validation and you can continue the import of nodes and edges then no validation errors when found.
- A Navigation bar with view modes simplifies the Navigation to the Springy Diagram – editor page.
Entity Relations Diagram:
The kind of foreign key to Primary key relation is displayed by different edge colors and labels.
- The Actions Menu has now function to
- Edit Table Data (link to the Data Browser)
- Alter Schema Object (Add table, column, reference; Alter Rules & Constraints, Comments)
- Edit Schema Object (in SQL Workshop)
- A double click on an object node opens the data browser for that table.
Object Dependencies Diagram:
- The object types checklist contains separate check marks for Key Constraint, Ref Constraint, Check Constraint, Not Null Constraint
- A single click or touch on an object node, updates the object info side panel and popup LOV fields for the current object type and name.
- A link to display the SQL Text of the selected object is displayed on the right side panel.
A click on that link will open a popup dialog to display the SQL text. (Be patient, because that can take a while).
- when you want to find an individual node by type and name, you can use the LOV fields to enter a search term and choose a name from the list.
After choosing a name, the diagram is auto-focused on the selected node with that name.
- A double click on an object node opens the SQL Workshop page with that object, when you have access privileges the APEX workspace.
- The legend is now a springy diagram with interactive functionality for zooming the canvas or font size.
Dynamic Actions Diagram
- The diagram renders nodes for all:
- Dynamic actions: with nodes for event source, action name, true and false branches,
code steps, request name, affected items, regions, buttons.
- Menus: (shown on the diagrams on pages 0 and 1),
- Lists: with nodes for request names and Link target page.
- Processing points: with nodes for request name, page process names, page branch names and target page #no.
- Buttons: with nodes for request names and links to target page.
- Classic Report links: with nodes for request names and link to target page.
- Interactive Report links: with nodes for request names and Link to target page.
- A single click or touch on an object node, updates the DA info side panel and a popup LOV field for the current DA name.
- For selected links or branches, a link to load the diagram of the target page is displayed on the right side panel.
A click on that link will save the current diagram and then open the diagram of the link target page.
- when you want to find an individual dynamic action by name, you can use the LOV field to choose a name from the list.
After choosing a name, the diagram is auto-focused on the selected node with that name.
- A double click on a dynamic action node opens the APEX page designer with that object, when you have access privileges the APEX workspace.
- The legend is now a springy diagram with interactive functionality for zooming the canvas or font size.
- When the downstream selection method is active, nodes for buttons, regions stop the propagation of the signal, because they are passive objects.
