In the first part of this series, we looked at how to enrich your data with meaning by generating embeddings using OpenAI’s API. We stored those vectors in our Oracle APEX app, laying the groundwork for a smarter kind of search — one that understands concepts, not just words. Now it’s time to go a [...]
Vector Search is a way to find things that are similar—not by matching exact words like a typical SQL LIKE '%cat%' search—but by comparing meaning. The basic idea is this: You take your data (text, images, whatever) and turn it into numbers—a list of numbers, actually—called a vector. Each vector lives in a multi-dimensional space, [...]
Introduction In a world where applications must be increasingly connected and interoperable, Oracle APEX and ORDS offer a robust platform for building and consuming RESTful APIs quickly, securely, and scalable. This tutorial walks you through how to build and consume an Oracle APEX REST API using ORDS, OAuth2, and both declarative and programmatic approaches. Basic [...]
Working with blockchain data in traditional enterprise environments can feel a bit like trying to mix oil and water. Between smart contracts, RPC nodes, ABI files, and all the other moving parts, it’s easy to get lost—especially when your main focus is building applications with Oracle APEX. In our previous article, we tackled this challenge [...]
