And those two problems require completely different solutions.
Oracle's new AI agent blog promises to accelerate Oracle Forms migrations to APEX. It's a compelling pitch - and an incomplete one. AI generates plausible code. Deterministic engines generate correct code. For enterprise systems running mission-critical processes, that distinction is everything. Here's what the blog post doesn't say, and what 300+ migrations taught us instead.
