I am a total newbie at Apex so any help would be appreciated. My situation:
I created Apex app with few forms and reports. Since I want to implement security for some tables, example:
Table Employee has columns email and credit_card_num. These 2 columns are encrypted using DBMS_CRYPTO.
My Oracle Database version in Oracle XE 11g Release 2.
So I have stored procedure and package for encryption and decryption using dbms_crypto.
When I add new employee in APEX form email and credit card number are passed as plain text and saved on that way in database.
1. How can I make it to be saved as encrypted value using package and procedures I've created in the database (to parse the inserted value to function)?
2. Since I am a total dummy and newbie at Apex can anyone explain me how does Apex really work? Is the inserted data sent in plain text or encrypted over network?
Thank you
