Worked on a "100% generated" application on very
similar versions you state. Although I used the term
100% in quotes, I was very impressed with the
developers - who got about 95% of the gui (screens,
reports) done purely through Designer.
Table API's were used primarily for the journalling
feature. Worked fine - the only real pain being that
any references to CG_REF_CODES in the validation code
were done with literals - so heaps of parsing with
sql's that could for all intensive purposes be common.
You'll your shared pool littered with
select ..
from cg_ref_codes
where domain = some_literal_in_quotes
and ...
I raised an enhancement with Oracle, but as at 6i.2
(the last time I looked at Designer) it was still the
same.
