We are new to APEX. We are looking at putting it in our Oracle EBS database. We would want APEX to be READONLY to the EBS objects. To do this would I do the following: - create a new schema as the default schema - create a synonym in the new schema pointing to the EBS objects - grant select only to the new schema for the EBS objects. Is this what I would need to do or am I making it more complicated than it really is?
