How would you implement this idea? If you are not sure, leave blank.

    The core engine of Oracle APEX is built using Oracle and PL/SQL. Therefore it requires an Oracle database in which to be installed and run.

    However there is nothing stopping you from using MySQL (or any other data source for that matter) as a main data source for your application. You can do this by exposing RESTful Services on top fo the target data source and using APEX's REST DATA SOURCES to access data via those RESTful services.

    Love the suggestion on any datsource access via RestAPIs

    It's already on the roadmap https://apex.oracle.com/en/learn/resources/roadmap/

    Sorry, under review again, this request was for making it so that APEX could RUN on MYSQL database - that is unlikely to happen. However, as Doug mentioned above, APEX can NOW as of APEX 22.1 query MYSQL data sources - both very different things.
