Hello DBAs, Please I need to know what is API ? & how should we update Standard Tables at Oracle EBS (11.5.10.2) by such APIs while using TOAD ? & if this is mandatory to use them for updating standard Tables - as I knew that EBS will be desupported by Oracle if standard tables updated directly by TOAD. Also I see that most of Apps developers use TOAD with Apps & oracle documentations assure that it is NOT recommended to use third parties like TOAD to access & update Oracle EBS tables- but this is always done !! .... So I have little conflicts about such used actions at most of customers. Please can you clarify for me & give me your recommendations? Thanks a lot. Thanks and Best Regards Mostafa Eletriby
