Forgive me for this silly question but i am new with Oracle Forms and Oracle Database, but so far i've managed to handle it Laughing

Laughing

My question will sound so silly but i have not figures that part yet. I have succesfully connected Forms 10g with my database(Oracle database 10g Enterprise Edition) and all is working fine. I have completed the form part from my application and now I want to fill my forms with data from my database. I want to ask how can i crate tables and store data in the database so i can retrieve them to my Oracle Forms.
So far i have used SQL*Plus but i have not achieved anything.
I did the following:
1) I opened the SQL Editor
2) I created a sample table juset for expirimental purposes for beginning to see how it works e.g.(create table news ( n1 varchar(50) );
3) then i used the insert into news values ( 'news' );
all were succesfull but i've noticed that the data isn't stored permanantly in there and when i run the data Block wizard it succesfully connects the table news but the problem is that there are no data in it plus if i run a select * from news return no data.
I would like some guidance(because i am newbie with that stuff) in how can someane store data in database and retrieve them. Sorry for the big post. I would like it to explain as much as i could. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it! Embarassed

Just follow Data Block Wizard; if you do that, it will create a functional form. There's nothing you have to do in order to make it work - at least, its basic functionalities will be here and let you query data, insert new data and update existing data.

When you run the form, simply execute the query (find that button on the toolbar or press <Execute query> on your keyboard (it might be F8 key) - if you've inserted some values through SQL*Plus, executing a query will fetch it. No additional programming is necessary.

How? Where?

Please, post exact Oracle error code (such as ORA-00942 or FRM-40501 or similar). It is much easier to figure out what is going on than reading your description.

Well i get the error: FRM-40301. That means i am not connected to the database. That's really odd. From Data block wizard i can view all of my tables that i have crated with PL/SQL and i can see all of their fields, but when i try to fetch their values from a button with EXECUTE_QUERY i get the FRM-40301 error(i try to do it programmatically). Mad

Again thanx for your big help.

No, you are wrong.

Oracle

FRM-40301: Query caused no records to be retrieved. Re-enter.

Cause: No records matched the query criteria. Still in Enter Query mode.

Action: Either adjust the query criteria or press [Exit/Cancel] to leave Enter Query mode.

FRM-40514 means that you should connect to the database and retry the operation.

So: make sure you are connected to the database during form execution. Executing a query will return records if they exist in a table (and satisfy conditions you entered during querying phase).

There's not really any useful information in that post.
Do you have a default where clause?
Do you have a pre-query trigger?
Have you checked the query being sent to the DB? (use get_block_property - last_query, or trace the session)
Are you sure there's data in the DB that matches the query?

What is "job%"? Forms is case sensitive by default, so perhaps you should adjust the "Case insensitive query" item property (or pay attention to what you enter).
