So you want to pick a table and then just display all the data from that? All columns? All rows?
Do you want to be able to modify the data?
Do you want to be able to restrict the data?

U can use third party tools like toad...
Also u can design a dynamic form.U have to polpulate all table
from dba_all_tables for your current user in a Hierarchical tree of Htree item. Then u can pupulate selected table data into a form by when-tree-node-activated trigger.
I think your purpose will be solve by this way.but best solution is TOAD. http://www.quest.com/toad/

That's unusual. How do you plan to print it? A printscreen? Might be OK if there aren't many records. What if there are hundreds of records within the table? [Scroll-down and printscreen] x many_times? I don't think so.
Basically, what you are saying is that you'd have SELECT * FROM some_table. In order to create a form, you have to use items. Each of them has its own datatype. It can not be modified during runtime (i.e. you have to create it withing the Forms Builder). So - how will you know which item represents which column? How will you adjust datatypes? Put everything into a character item? How large will they be? Item size can not be modified either. If there are many columns within the table, how will you show them all in a readable manner?
I think I could go on and on, but - I hope you got the point: Oracle Forms is not a tool for that. If you want to print data, use a reporting tool (such as Oracle Reports). If you want to manipulate with data, use Forms.
Perhaps you could do what you've imagined, but it would take too much effort and the result would still be suboptimal.
