Oracle 11g comes pre-installed with Apex 3.2 and Oracle XE can be upgraded to Apex 3.2 as it comes pre-installed with Apex 2.1.

Installation Best Practices(Applicable to Apex 3.2 on Oracle 9i Release 2(9.2) or Oracle 10g Rel 1 and Rel 2)

1. Default or Dedicated?  The Apex 3.2 installer by defualt install into SYSAUX(System Auxiliary) tablespace, a new feature of Oracle 10g. Instead of using the SYSAUX it is better to use dedicated tablespace for the following reasons.

a. The Apex installation creates 3 new database accounts and associated objects and metadata and hence belong to a dedicated tablespace. This provides more control and flexibility over the admin. of the APEX environment especially from the recovery point of view.

The 3 new accounts created are

APEX_030200- The account that owns the Oracle Application Express schema and metadata

FLOWS_FILES – The account that owns Oracle Application Express  uploaded files.

APEX_PUBLIC_USER - The minimally privileged account used for Oracle Application Express configuration with Oracle HTTP Server and mod_plsql.

b. Facilitate DBA to decide on which disk should be used to store the dedicated tablespace in order to reduce contention.

2. Naming Conventions: Follow naming conventions or create one if one does not exists so that it can be helpful during upgrade  in future. For e.g the tablspace name can be given as APEX_REL32 or APEX_32 to identify that the table space is associated with APEX 3.2.
