We can finally add 'native' to the list of choices when it comes to 'prettified' URLs, as Oracle APEX 20.1 honours the statement of direction with a simple checkbox in application properties.
I tried this with old & new applications, and it appears to be case insensitive.
https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/sage/r/SCOTT_UT/Zhuzh?P29_DEPT=10
APEX also appears to honour either format, regardless of the setting.
https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/sage/r/swesley_forum_ut/emp?p6_empno=7566&p6_mode=R
It contains the workspace name, application and page aliases (if present), however this obfuscates key reference information a developer users hourly ;p
I wonder if there will be a related API?
I know some people yearn for this, but is it really that prettier than the original?
https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=64956:6:::::P6_EMPNO,P6_MODE:7566,R
Time may tell. It usually does.
