Howdy,
The small script I have is the following begin
insert into teachers(id) values (:teachers.f_id); end;
I get the error
FRM-40508 Oracle is unable to insert record. I have tried many variations on the script to make it work, none of which do I have tried declaring variables to make it work, like
declare
f_id varchar2(2);
...
insert into teachers (id) values (f_id); which does not work either. I goto sql*plus and I can insert happily, but try it from forms and it dies. Can you place any light on this subject. I know this question must be easy for Boffins like yourself, but I am not :-(

Howdy,
Great work on your book Oracle: A beginners guide. I am a
true beginner and read it in 3 days. Now I'm going through it again, trying
to accomplish all the tasks you mention in your examples. I left the trail
a little bit to see If I can make a form which had two buttons, one that
finds data and one that add's new data. The finding data all works fine
,but the adding new data Does not. I can't figure out why, and the error
message that I get does not do much for explaining it, and I was wondering
if you could help me out for a second.
