title: Is it possible to connect to DB in Oracle APEX application externally?
body: <p>I am trying to query the table stored in Oracle APEX application externally (using Java). But, i am quite not sure on achieving it. Because, inside APEX i was able to access external databases using dblink. But, the other way around is puzzling me. It starts from what should be the connect string, will there be host &amp; port details etc.,. </p>
  
  <p>Search on oracle docs and other dba forums didn't cover this scenario. It would be a great help if someone can give a pointer on this.</p>
