Just to add to that

APEX can pretty much expose any of the underlying capabilities of the
database (though some you'd need database development skills for), the
limitations therefore are pretty much the limitations of the underlying
feature. In the case of views of data over db links, especially ODBC , these
tend to come down to performance. For non trivial stuff I therefore tend to
prefer to keep a local, periodically updated, copy of the sql data in Oracle
and join natively.
