WebDB - field and form validation question

Hi,

I've just started looking at WebDB 2.2 from a Developer/Forms background and am having problems with validation.

In Forms, you determine which fields in the block/form are primary keys and so Forms know how to handle duplicates during insert and updates - generally with a friendly enough message.

In WebDB, you just get the ORA error thrown back at you when things go wrong. I don't see how to mimic the Forms behaviour - am I expected to write a piece of Javascript to validate the form before the insert/update occurs?

Similarly, the item-level validation doesn't seem to have much more than checking whether the item is a number, within a range or null. Again, am I expected to write all my own validation?

I hope that I've missed something!

Andy
P.S I see that WebPortal 3.0 (EA June 2000) is the successor to WedDB - anyone using that yet? If so, what do you think of it?
