Oracle Forms & Reports

oracle forms reports service overview

Oracle Forms & Reports is a well-established application development platform for building database-focused applications. For decades, it has been a cornerstone of enterprise software development, particularly for creating systems used for data entry, management, and reporting against an Oracle database.

The platform is known for its declarative, low-code approach, where developers use a visual builder to create screens, define business logic, and generate fully functional applications with minimal manual coding. Its tight integration with the Oracle database allows direct use of features like PL/SQL stored procedures and triggers. However, in today’s modern IT roadmaps, Oracle Forms & Reports is widely considered a legacy technology.
