Noone answered yet so I will start. There are SO Many ways to get started. It would help if you could describe your application environment and expectations. MarkLogic is definitely suited as part or all of the tools needed for a business application. I am not that familiar with Oracle Apex but from the quick read I would suggest that the MarkLogic App Server technology is at about the same level. What is best for you will depend on many factors.
To start with, what is your data storage needs ? Do you currently have existing data or data models ? Which technology to use to leverage marklogic is largely driven by your app developer skillset and willingness or desire to learn new technologies. There are great REST and Java based API's for Marklogic, as well as the core XQuery based App Server technologies. All can be used to create fully featured business applications. Just FYI: Application Builder is a "Quick Start" to get you started in MarkLogic. It is focused on Search based Applications. If your app is more focused on data management (authoring, modifying data) then it may not make a good starting point for your app. I hope others will chime in ... But I suggest you describe what you would like to write in a bit more detail and the background of your developers. That could help with suggesting the benefits or weaknesses of various approaches and languages. "Under the hood" Everything is based on the XQuery App Servers. But there is many good "surface areas" ... which is the best to use is dependent on many things. As for cost. You will need to contact MarkLogic sales. Cost is dependent on your production and development needs. MarkLogic is enterprise software where the needs vary per customer and so does the cost. I suggest calling a sales rep and starting a discussion to get a guideline. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Lee Lead Engineer MarkLogic Corporation [email protected] Phone: +1 812-482-5224 Cell: +1 812-630-7622 www.marklogic.com -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Giuseppe Luigi Punzi Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2013 1:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Looking into MarkLogic Hi all, 2 hours ago, I know about marklogic, and I'm looking around. There are some questions I would like to ask if somebody can help to understand it better. 1. We need to develop a web based ERP. We Should to look into xquery or PHP as language development true?. It's common this kind of development with marklogic? 1b. Is application builder only for querying DB or is something like apex from oracle? 2. Express license is suited to deploy production apps, but, how much is the $ version? I can't find it anywhere. 3. Is Marklogic suited for development business applications? Or maybe I must stay studying APEX from Oracle? Best regards, thanks for your time.
