hello gurus,

actually my question is directly related to forms.

question is :-

i have a form module in which there are 24 fields.
it is basically to fire a query on the basis of the fields which are filled and left which are blanked.

like as an example :-
i am form there are three columns (name,empno,address)
If user filled only name and empno with some values.
Now when i press for the result then the query should construct or build only for those fields which are not null ( i.e. filled with some values) and left the other fields.

considering the above example the query can be

select name,empno from table_name where name = value and empno = value;

but it is one query , there can be 3! = 6 possibilities for the above example. so it will contain 6 different procedures based on their values .

but if we think in case of 24 fields it is quite huge ....

so i want to make only one query at runtime based on the values which are filled only

thanks in advance

regards
rajat chaudhary

Use the standard Oracle Forms functionality. Go into 'enter_query' mode, enter your data, and then do the 'execute_query'. Forms will build the query, execute it, and populate your fields for you.

ya martin,
you are absolutely right but user don't want to press any key ( e.g. F7 for enter_query and then F8 to execute_query) apart from the button which give the result.

Then start the form in 'enter-query' mode and put the statement 'execute_query' in the 'when-button-pressed' trigger.
