Hi All,

Need some help here.

I am using a DB Block and Control block in my form and want to Insert/Update records in the DB block.

I am able to insert new record using commit command, but how do I update an existing record?

I don't want to use the inbuilt toolbar.

Please suggest

- execute query
- update values you want
- commit

I've noticed that you keep saying that you "don't want to use toolbar"; why not? It isn't evil; actually, it is rather useful. I'd suggest you to accept the fact that you're using Oracle Forms and start behaving accordingly.

Thanks for your reply Sir,
However, when I am using the Execute_query command, I am getting the "Do you want to save Changes you have made?" pop-up. Is there any way I can change the content of this pop-up? Or better still, ensure it does not come up at all.

Apologies for creating the impression that I don't want to use the toolbar, its just that I want to explore alternate options for doing the same. Just in case, I work on a project where in the in-built tool-bar has to be replaced by another toolbar.

Please guide here

The message you got means that there are some changes in the data block (for example, you entered a value manually, or set it via a trigger), so Forms warns you that those changes will be lost unless you save them. You have to decide whether you do (or do not) want to do that.

As of changing that message: it is an alert, so you'd have to substitute it with your own. I've never done that, but - if you want to try it, here's an article which shows you how to do it.

Toolbar: so, you'll remove the built-in one and replace it with your own? OK. What improvement do you expect from doing it?

I wouldn't try changing the message.
If you're getting the message without typing anything into fields in the block then go find the trigger code you wrote that sets values in the block and remove it.

Thanks for the Article Sir,

I will use it and let you know.

I am not expecting any improvements Sir, i am just checking if its possible to insert data without using insert command and the inbuilt toolbar.

Ani

Sir,

I am not getting it without typing anything.

I get the pop-up only when I try and update the record. Anyways, I will try and use the link given by Littlefoot and check if it works

Regards,
Ani
