I have a block named aaa, query data source name is bbb and
DML data target name is bbb. When I insert record it does not saved on bbb table. Not saved as well on aaa table.

This is a database block, I wonder why I can't saved on table bbb. Any idea on this?

From where did table 'aaa' come? I thought it was the name of the block?

I believe you are manually inserting your records. Forms will do it for you, you don't have to write your own code. Anyway, I also believe that you are using a 'commit' or 'form_commit' statement after you do your own code. But as the Form does not 'sense' your manual inserts and updates you need to use 'standard.commit' to save your manually made changes.

I got it.
The problem now is on the master-detail relation. The relation is based on (a=a, b=b, c=c), but when I change the column d on master, I fetch nothing for details. As I understand it, the data will be retrieve as far as the condition was met.

If 'd' is part of the primary key in the 'master' table, then 'd' must exist in the 'detail' table.

A master-detail form needs very little in terms of developer written code, initially. Define the 'master' table with a primary key (eg 'invoice number'). Define the 'detail 'table with the 'master' primary key plus the 'detail' key (like 'line number').

I do NOT like, or use, the EXTERNAL invoice number or EXTERNAL line number as my primary keys. I think it is better to use an Oracle sequence for the internal invoice number and a database generated value for the external value so that there is better control over the externalally displayed value, and so that the user is able to change the order of the lines as they are presented on the invoice WITHOUT changing the primary keys on the tables.

Use the wizard to create the 'master' block, use 'default value' to populate the primary key or use the When-Create-Record trigger. Create the 'detail' block using the wizard and again either use 'default value' to populate the primary key or use the When-Create-Record trigger on this block. Build a 'relations' between the two blocks. That's basically all you have to do.

Hi David,

Both tables have no primary key.
I followed your instruction, I've created blocks from the scratch, but I don't encounter any regarding what you have said "default value" to populate primary key. I'm using oracle 5.0.

If i'm going to When-Create-Record trigger, what code I'm going to write? I'm having hard time searching F1.

Thanks!

The When-Create-Record in the 'Master' populates the key fields. The WCR in the 'detail' get the values from the 'master' and puts them into the non-displayed key fields.
