Microsoft Access is a database intended for small projects with a few users, to manipulate data from a Microsoft Windows machine that has Microsoft Access installed. It is not intended as an inherently reliable solution. Such personal databases don’t offer the productivity, performance, scalability, manageability or security that companies need for regulatory compliance. Often simple applications grow in size and complexity and become mission critical. These same applications are often scattered throughout the network making maintenance, backups, security, and access increasingly costly and inconsistent. Building a Web-based application that supports a multi-user environment is a more efficient way to manage information. Oracle Application Express can quickly replace unsecured, personal databases and as business grows, the migrated application can easily accommodate additional users and increased volume, and all protected within a secure Oracle database.

The Oracle Application Express Application Migration Workshop is a feature of Oracle Application Express that assists customers in migrating Microsoft Access application to Oracle Application Express. It works in harmony with Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench (Migration Workbench) to provide a total solution for your Access Migration requirements. You first use the Migration Workbench to migrate your database schema and data and then use the Application Migration Workshop to migrate your forms and reports. The solution is focused on recovering the design of existing Microsoft Access applications and generating Oracle Application Express applications based on the findings. This sometimes requires manual intervention after the migration tools perform the bulk of the migration work. Your new application can then be refined to take advantage of all the power and capabilities of Oracle Application Express.
