APEX Shared plan limits: storage, workspaces and daily requests

How tablespace storage, workspaces and daily web requests are measured on APEX Shared plans, how to check your usage, and what happens when you reach a limit.

The three main limits

Every APEX Shared plan includes set amounts of the resources below. The current figures for each plan are on the compare plans page.

Tablespace

Your data is stored in a tablespace reserved for your service. It grows as you add data, up to your plan's size. Any additional workspaces you create share the same tablespace.

• Check usage: the Tablespace box on your service page shows used and total megabytes.
• When it is full: inserts and updates fail with errors such as ORA-01653: unable to extend table.
• What to do: see Check your tablespace usage and free up space.

Workspaces

Your service page shows how many workspaces you are using, for example Additional Workspaces (1 / 3). Create more with + Create Additional Workspace until you reach the limit. See Add another APEX workspace to your plan.

Web requests per day

Requests to your applications' web services are counted per day. The count starts again each day. If your applications regularly need more, move to a larger plan.

Need more?

When you regularly reach a limit, a larger plan is usually the simplest answer — see Upgrade, renew or cancel a service. For production applications with heavy traffic or large data, consider APEX Dedicated DB, with private resources and no shared limits.
