Hi, can it be used to prepare and show to the potential client, a concept of a future APEX application?

Has anyone run VirtualBox in Mac OS running in Apple Mx chipset successfully?

Hi Jeff, thanks for another great video. I am on the timestamp 10:18 of your video. I am not able to type any sql commands. I see the HR schema on the left and worksheet on the right, but I am not able to type any sql commands in the worksheet. When I click in the worksheet area and try to type something, nothing happens. It feels like typing is not allowed or disabled in the worksheet. Any ideas ? Also, when I select any other schema beside HR, I don't see their tables. For example SH. I select SH and Tables, but I don't see any tables below. Thank you.

Thanks very helpful. FYI: although you used sqlplus but how to install and make it work in the host OS?
