Create a view in SQL*Plus and use it in a form. Do NOT create anything in a form unless there's a really good reason to do that.

If you insist, you'd use FORMS_DDL built-in - read more about it in documentation. Note that you can expect problems because trigger fires every time you run the form, so Oracle would raise "ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object". Dropping and creating it again and again is something you should avoid.

I planted quite a few trees, but didn't create many forms that use trees. So, I'm afraid I can't help much.

Open Forms Online Help System and search for "tree". In there you'll find many topics, such as "Creating a Hierarchical Tree Example" and similar. Do some reading.

Also, use Forum's Search engine to see what other people have said and done.
