This is my Resource page for Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS).
Need to publish Web Services (HTTPS) for your Oracle Database? Welcome to ORDS!
ORDS is our middle tier JAVA application that allows you to access your Oracle Database resources via REST. Use standard HTTP calls (GET|POST|PUT|DELETE|HEAD) via URIs that ORDS makes available (/ords/database123/user3/module5/something/.)
ORDS will find and run the appropriate database workload (a query, an anonymous block), and return the output as formatted JSON.
