Hi,
I have two tables, say T and P, and field T.P_ID refernces P.ID.
I need to build a form where records of T are visible and there is a button which brings up a window with the corresponding P record. It also allows for selecting an other P record and return its ID into T.P_ID. So far not too hard.
My question is whether there is a convenient way
to allow the user to INSERT records in the P window at the same
time. My problem is when I close window P and open it for another T record. Then, P records need to be POSTed before the actual referenced P record can be displayed. If so, what trigger do you suggest for this action?
Question 2:
Do you guys prefer to always filter block P in such case,
or can I easily navigate to a given P.ID after a "fetch all"?
(I will have less than 100 records in table P).

If you are working in the same Oracle session then you should be able to see your new 'P' without doing a POST.
I would suggest running your form as a normal master-detail with a button to pop up a new form, based on a single block using the 'P' table. Then when you come back, the form exit behaviour will 'automatically' get the user to commit the new entry.
