I’ve been working through the Oracle APEX App Builder User Guide and experimenting with customizing templates (specifically duplicating and modifying the left/right column layout).
So far, I’ve:
- Successfully duplicated and modified an existing template
- Considered using a Dynamic Content region to render structured content
Where I’m unsure is around how best to manage and display the content itself:
- Should I store the content in database tables and render it dynamically?
- Or is it better to use static HTML (e.g., in Static Content regions) for easier formatting control?
- If stored in the database, what’s the recommended approach for maintaining structured formatting (e.g., sections, columns, styled areas)?
My concern is that storing HTML in the database may make content harder to maintain, but static content reduces flexibility.
What’s the recommended pattern in APEX for handling this kind of structured, formatted content?
Any guidance or examples would be appreciated.
