I am concerned to know how to update records that are retrieved using LOVs. The selected record is subsitute/returned into its corresponding text fields(on canvas) that are associated with the data souce.

I try to use COMMIT and UPDATE query but both not working.

Any idea/help/advice?

Thanks.

To get existing records from the database, go into Enter_Query mode, use the LOV to populate some of the fields then Execute_Query to get the rest. To create new records then do a Create_Record, then use the LOV to populate some fields and then do your save/commit.

Thanks alot David.

in my sample application, text item name is deptno and dname and its data block name is dept. when i try to execute the following code on WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger it causes an exception.

<U>code:</U>

<B>UPDATE dept
set dept.dname = :dept.dname
WHERE dept.deptno = :dept.deptno;</B>

can u please tell me the reason behind it.

Thanks anyways.

You should better know what you're putting into triggers. Sample form isn't the one you were talking about previously.

Error you receive is UNABLE TO INSERT RECORD as the When-button-pressed trigger on "update" button has only one line: COMMIT. The "show lov" button gets a record and "update" tries to insert it into the table. Doing so, it violates the unique constraint and thus results in failure.

If you want to UPDATE records, fetch them using QUERY, not list of values, and everything will be fine.

If you want to INSERT new records, slightly different from existing ones, you could use list of values, but unique column value should be entered carefully or, even better, using a sequence which will prevent such errors.
