Full set: 211 questions
Answer options
A: Function Body returning SQL Query
B: Latitude and Longitude Correct answer
C: GeoJSON Correct answer
D: State and Pincode
Correct Answer:
B. Latitude and Longitude; C. GeoJSON
Explanation

The 'GetCurrentPosition' dynamic action in Oracle APEX interfaces with the browser's Geolocation API to retrieve the user's current geographical location. The developer can configure how this location data is returned and stored. The action provides a "Return Format" attribute with two options. The 'Latitude and Longitude' format returns the coordinates as two separate numeric values, which can be mapped to two different page items. The 'GeoJSON' format returns a single text object formatted according to the GeoJSON standard for representing geographic features, which can be stored in a single page item.

Why Incorrect

A. Function Body returning SQL Query: This describes a source type for components like lists or reports, not an output format for the GetCurrentPosition dynamic action.
D. State and Pincode: This is address information that would require reverse geocoding. The GetCurrentPosition action returns raw coordinate data, not processed address details.

Oracle APEX 23.2 App Builder User's Guide, Chapter 9, "Managing Pages in Page Designer," Section "Working with Dynamic Actions," Subsection "About Geolocation." The documentation describes the 'GetCurrentPosition' action and its settings, including the 'Return Format' attribute with the options 'Latitude and Longitude' and 'GeoJSON'.
