Are Virtual Columns a good idea in APEX apps?

GiuseppeLDec 27 2012 — edited Jan 2 2013
Hi all,

Searching for a way to get fields auto-populated (a QTY*PRICE for example) I discovered Virtual Columns.

Looks very good, but.
a) You can't create Virtual Columns under APEX.
b) You can't create Virtual Columns under SQL Developer.

You must do it with SQL directly. And if you do it.
a) You can't insert rows under Object Browser (APEX)
b) You can't modify anything in this table under SQL Developer

My surprise, is, thath as far as I see, Virtual columns exists since 2007, but seems APEX nor SQL Developer, with updates released some days, are'nt compatible with this "new" feature.

There are some reason for this? In Oracle World anybody uses computable fields?

Regards.
