Are you talking about a database table here or an Oracle Forms app or something else entirely ? Please be more specific and attempt to post to the correct forum.

Basically, Form shouldn't have to do anything with it - it is a database whose job is to take care about duplicate records. This could done by creating appropriate primary/unique keys (or even indexes).

First thing you need to have primary or uniq key on your base table.
then one solution of your problem is that you can set DML set to 1 so that user can insert or update only one record at a time.

second you can use record groups and use when-validate-record trigger to insert the uniq key into record group and check newly inserted record against this record group.(i have never implemeted this but it should work)

and to make it more easy you can use a oracle table in place of record group .

e.g.

create a similar table like your base table.
in when-validate-record
just check
select count(*) into :v_count
from my_temp_table t1
where :blk.col1= t1.col1
....
all cols which are part of primary key....

and similar query on tha base table also

then if v_count is 0 then
insert into my_temp_table values(:blk.col1,blk.col2....)

something like this should fix your problem.

To Restrict the Duplication Selection of same value use this technique.

1) Create a temporary table.Table Column depend on your scnerio.
2) Insert a Code in that table on Post-Text-Item Trigger.
3) Delete a code from that table on Pre-Text-Item Trigger.
4) Checking On When-Validate-Item,Lov Query.

Examples:

1) Create Global Temporary Table Dmy(Code Number) ;

2) Insert Into Dmy(Code) Values (:Block.Itemname); (POST-TEXT-ITEM)

3) Delete From Dmy Where Code = :Block.Itemname ; (PRE-TEXT-ITEM)

4) Select * From Tablename (LOV QUERY)
Where Code Not In ( Select Code From Dmy)

You can also use a dynamic record_group to hold the elements you wish to display in the LOV and in the When-Validate-Item trigger, if everything is okay, delete the entry that was just selected.

Also have a look at the possibility of making this 'special' field part of the table's primary key. Oracle Forms has builtin special processing for primary keys.
