New Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) drop today. Per usual, mostly bug fixes And per usual, sometimes we like to sneak in new features as well, and this release is no different. You can now have ORDS automatically create POST handlers for executing your PL/SQL. This is a LOW CODE solution. You could of course ALWAYS roll your own RESTful …
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.
