"The new theme used throughout the Application Builder is still a work in progress, especially in respect to Internet Explorer. Therefore we have disabled access from IE at this stage."


This is hilarious, Can APEX team make this permanent :)

Generate days in month

I recently saw a post from Duncan Mein using pipelined function to generate days in month. Neat.

A comment had an example using dual based query with a 'with' clause and rownum.

This could also be done using the following simple query

select my_date "Date" ,to_char(my_date ,'Day') "Day"
  from (select to_date(level || to_char(sysdate,'/mm/yyyy'),'dd/mm/yyyy')  my_date
          from dual
       connect by level <= to_number(to_char(last_day(sysdate),'dd'))
       )
