To have the ID in your database table but the NAME to only exist in the code table do the following.

Create a record group based on the two fields, associate it with an LOV, define the ID as having a width of zero, create a non-database field in your block and on the canvas, associate the LOV with this field, also for this field 'return' the ID to your database field which is not on the canvas and 'return' the NAME to your non-database field which IS on the canvas. Remember to populate your non-database field in the Post-Query trigger of your block.

Create a new form. Create record_group using 'Query Text', "select id, name from temp order by 1". It is called record_group3. Create an LOV using the wizard. Use an existing record group, 'record_group3'. Use 'Modify existing Record Group', then 'next', press 'double arrow', 'next', set width of ID to zero, 'next', set title to 'my_lov', press 'next' three times and then finish. Create block using wizard. Don't display the ID field on the canvas, and create a non-database field which is displayed. Create a Post-Query trigger for this block. Add this code

begin
  select NAME
    into :table_2.item9
    from temp
   where ID = :table_2.field_3;
exception
  when no_data_found then
    :table_2.item9 := 'code missing';
  when others then
    :table_2.item9 := null;
end;

Now go back to the non-database field and add the LOV (it IS simpler to create the block before the Record_group and LOV but I have written it this way so you see the form from a maintenance versus build point of view). Go back to the LOV, click on the 'Column Mapping Porperties', for 'ID' define the 'Return Item' by using the 'Browse' button and select the database item that is NOT on the canvas and which you want populated (leave the display width as zero), select the 'NAME' column and set its 'Return Item' to the non-database field which is on the canvas. Click okay, save, and run. The non-database field displays the 'NAME' data. The LOV shows the 'NAME' data and returns the 'ID' data.

Hope this helps. I have attached the form in Forms 6. Below is the script to create the two tables and to populate them.

David

CREATE TABLE TABLE_2
(
  FIELD_1  VARCHAR2(5 BYTE),
  FIELD_2  VARCHAR2(5 BYTE),
  FIELD_3  NUMBER(5)
)
LOGGING 
NOCACHE
NOPARALLEL;

CREATE TABLE TEMP
(
  ID    NUMBER(3)                               NOT NULL,
  NAME  VARCHAR2(30 BYTE)                       NOT NULL
)
LOGGING 
NOCACHE
NOPARALLEL;

INSERT INTO TABLE_2 ( FIELD_1, FIELD_2, FIELD_3 ) VALUES ( 'A', 'AA', 1); 
INSERT INTO TABLE_2 ( FIELD_1, FIELD_2, FIELD_3 ) VALUES ( 'B', 'BB', 2); 
INSERT INTO TABLE_2 ( FIELD_1, FIELD_2, FIELD_3 ) VALUES ( 'C', 'CC', 3); 
INSERT INTO TABLE_2 ( FIELD_1, FIELD_2, FIELD_3 ) VALUES ( 'A', 'AA', 2); 
INSERT INTO TABLE_2 ( FIELD_1, FIELD_2, FIELD_3 ) VALUES ( 'B', 'BB', 1); 
INSERT INTO TABLE_2 ( FIELD_1, FIELD_2, FIELD_3 ) VALUES ( 'C', 'CC', 4); 
COMMIT;

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX PK_TEMP ON TEMP
(ID)
LOGGING
NOPARALLEL;

ALTER TABLE TEMP ADD (
  CONSTRAINT PK_TEMP PRIMARY KEY (ID));

INSERT INTO TEMP ( ID, NAME ) VALUES ( 1, 'aaa'); 
INSERT INTO TEMP ( ID, NAME ) VALUES ( 2, 'bbb'); 
INSERT INTO TEMP ( ID, NAME ) VALUES ( 3, 'ccc'); 
COMMIT;
