Pro Oracle Application Express Sample Spreadsheet

The excellent book Pro Oracle Application Express book by John Scott builds an application through the book and it starts with a sample spreadsheet showing a set of reported bugs. I was not able to find a downloadable version of this so I created it. Not much work and very easy to do, but also not very enjoyable.

Since I created it with google docs it is easy to share it, so I figured I'd post a link here that I can refer to in the future when someone asks for it. You can find it here. Just choose file->export and export it as a csv file. You can then use this to create the application the book starts with and modifies.

Post corrections here so I can update the document for future readers of the book.

If you like APEX and you have not yet bough this book, you should buy it today. It is very good and very well written.

Time to resurrect this blog

OK. This blog has been dormant for longer than what should have been possible. Having moved across the world, started a new job, and returned career focus to Oracle specialist (from more or less forced management roles) it's definitely time to start writing again.

The first step has been to move it to a proper blog platform, it is now at http://oradbdev.mathiasmagnusson.com and the same feed as before (http://feeds2.feedburner.com/OracleDbDevelopment). Assuming this works and it gets to the blog reader, next post will hopefully deal with something Oracle related. If not, I'll have to make a few attempts until I get all of this to work. I apologize ahead of time in case I'd need a few tries to make all this blog magic work.
