APEXExportSplitter deprecated in Oracle APEX 5.1.4

According to the Oracle APEX 5.1.4 patchset notes the APEXExportSplitter Java utility is deprecated.

That's not a bad thing, because it's simply been included into the APEXExport utility as an extra command option.

Better yet, it's been bundled into the Oracle SQLcl 17.4 utility.

In the screenshot above you can see the following commands run from within SQLcl.

!sql -version

This issues a host command to show the SQLcl version being used.

apex

Typing apex lists the apex applications owned by the current user.

!mkdir test

This issues a host command to create a new directory.

cd test

Within SQLcl change to the newly created directory.

apex export -applicationid 200 -skipExportDate -split

The bit we are interested in; the command to export an application from the database, and split it into seperate files in one statement.

!ls -l

Proving the f200.sql file was created, and then split into components in the f200 directory.

To see the full syntax available simply type "apex export" to view the help.
