These updates address common enterprise requirements for application development and data management. AWS customers using Amazon RDS for Oracle can upgrade to APEX 26.1 without downtime, leveraging AWS’s automated patching and maintenance processes. The service continues to support prior APEX versions for backward compatibility.
