Developing Oracle REST Data Services with SQL Developer 4.2

1 Min Read

One of the new features in version 4.2 of SQL Developer is the ability to work with your ORDS Restful Services directly in the database tree.

Here’s a video demo…

Some of you don’t have access to YouTube at work (or at home apparently), so here’s a quick snapshot.

Note the ‘REST Data Services’ item on the tree.

As you make changes here, the REST Services, assuming they’re published and ORDS is actually running, are affected immediately.

I really like this part, if you know SQL or PL/SQL, you can create a RESTful Service.

See my other recent ORDS posts to get an idea of what you can do in terms of defining parameters, defining POST or PUT handlers, etc.

      No idea. I’m not sure they have ORDS up and running there for folks to build custom REST APIs or not. The apps side of the house is a completely different line of business.

      But.

      I would be EXTREMELY surprised if they let you do that.

      Have you considered opening a support ticket to get your table fixed?
