APEX Data Workshop Explained: Use Cases & Step-by-Step Data Loading

Oracle APEX offers a wide array of powerful features, and one of the most intuitive among them is the Data Workshop. It allows users to load data directly into existing database tables—without writing a single line of code. With just a few clicks, users can upload a file, select the target table, and let APEX handle the rest seamlessly.

In this article, I’ll demonstrate how to use Data Workshop to load an Excel file containing 30,000 records into an existing table. The entire process is simple and efficient, with an expected load time of under 2 minutes.
