Every database needs a stored proc language and this was seriously lacking in Salesforce... until now. It's important to note that this only is a Data Access language, *not* a UI language. You need the AJAX toolkit to create complete solutions. I have to say I’m very impressed with Apex.

It seems like I'm not the only one questioning why a new "language" and stack was introduced. I wrote about it in my recent post <a href="http://www.saasblogs.com/2006/10/10/salesforcecoms-apex-benioffs-handcuffs-for-on-demand" rel="nofollow">Salesforce.com’s Apex: Benioff’s Handcuffs for On Demand</a> Ha!

While the feature sounds quite useful, we *may* get to test it in a few months and there is no date set for release? Really? So vaporware is the best thing that they can come up with for dreamforce? It's starting to get thick. The apex announcement is ultimately disappointing. While the feature sounds quite useful, we *may* get to test it in a few months and there is no date set for release?
