Hi all,

I want to insert the records into the emp1 table from emp(base table), i created emp block (emp table is the base table)
and create pre-insert trigger at the emp block. When i enter all the columns and click on the "save", transaction completed 1 record saved. Here i am the record into the both emp & emp1 also, why it inserts into the base table(emp).Please help me.

DECLARE 
    v NUMBER := 1; 
BEGIN 
    first_record; 

    LOOP 
        v := v + 1; 

        INSERT INTO emp1 
                    (empno, 
                     ename, 
                     job, 
                     hiredate, 
                     sal, 
                     comm, 
                     deptno) 
        VALUES     (:EMP.empno, 
                    :EMP.ename, 
                    :EMP.job, 
                    :EMP.hiredate, 
                    :EMP.sal, 
                    :EMP.comm, 
                    :EMP.deptno); 

        EXIT WHEN :system.last_record = 'TRUE'; 
    END LOOP; 
END;

If you want to insert records into EMP1, why didn't you simply base that data block on EMP1 table?

The way you did it now, Forms inserts a record into EMP table by default (as it is a data block), as well into EMP1 (as you told it to in PRE-INSERT trigger.

Yes you are right Littlefoot.

I created pl/sql trigger.

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER APPS.trg_emp
  BEFORE INSERT ON APPS.EMP for each row
BEGIN
    INSERT INTO emp1
                (empno,
                 ename,
                 job,
                 hiredate,
                 sal,
                 comm,
                 deptno)
    VALUES     (:NEW.empno,
                :NEW.ename,
                :NEW.job,
                :NEW.hiredate,
                :NEW.sal,
                :NEW.comm,
                :NEW.deptno);
END;


I ran the form it inserted the both emp & emp1 table records.

So, what's the improvement? In the first message, you did that job using a Forms trigger. In the last message, you did that job using a database trigger. No difference.

Why do you quote my whole previous message? I know what I said, and there were no other messages in between. What's the purpose of doing this? Why don't you simply REPLY?




Your initial question was:
Quote:

why it inserts into the base table(emp)

I told you why.

Your final question (so far) was:
Quote:

Is there any option to insert another data table?

Now I'm confused. Do you want to prevent this form from inserting data into two tables, or are you exploring all possible ways of inserting data into two tables?

What problem are you trying to solve? What is your task?

You did that already, didn't you? Using two different (but similar) ways, using Forms and database triggers.

@mist - once again you seem to fail to understand that we know nothing about your system. You need to describe your problem in far more detail than you are doing at moment.

You apparently want to copy data from one table to another.
Under what circumstances should data be copied?
Should all emp records be copied, or only some?
Should the user be able to modify the data?

If i insert the data from the form & click on the save. Check the emp1 table here the record got inserted. But the record also inserted into the emp also.

My requirement is, while i enter the data into emp block , i want to insert into the emp1 table data only.

Once again: what is the purpose of doing ANYTHING with the EMP block, if you don't want to store data into the EMP table? Base that block on EMP1 table and everything should work properly, without you having to write any kind of triggers.

I believe it is code in your very first message here; you have a LOOP, but you never navigate to the next record (so this is most probably an infinite loop). Therefore, that would be
  ...
  EXIT WHEN :system.last_record = 'TRUE';
  NEXT_RECORD;
END LOOP;

Hi Littlefoot,

After i enter the records into the emp block & click on the find button it insert to the emp1 table.So for this i add find button in the emp block.

BEGIN 
    Go_block('EMP'); 
    first_record; 
    LOOP 
        BEGIN 
            INSERT INTO emp1 
                        (empno, 
                         ename, 
                         job, 
                         hiredate, 
                         sal, 
                         comm, 
                         deptno) 
            VALUES      (:EMP.empno, 
                         :EMP.ename, 
                         :EMP.job, 
                         :EMP.hiredate, 
                         :EMP.sal, 
                         :EMP.comm, 
                         :EMP.deptno); 

            COMMIT; 
        EXCEPTION 
            WHEN OTHERS THEN 
              NULL; 
        END; 
        [color=red]Exit WHEN :system.last_record = 'TRUE'; 
        next_record; [/color]
    END LOOP; 
EXCEPTION 
    WHEN OTHERS THEN 
      NULL; 
END;

Never write exception handlers like that - read WHEN OTHERS

Does this code solve your problem?

So do you have a database datablock based on emp?
And are you populating that block with a cursor/select statement?

Then the reason it's inserting into emp is the reason LF already specified - you're putting new records in a datablock based on emp.
This is forms default behaviour, it is behaving exactly as it is designed to, and we've pointed this out before.

The only way to populate a database datablock with data and not have forms think that data is new records that need to be inserted is use the default query functionality - execute_query.
As far as forms is concerned, populating a block from a select statement is no different to having the user enter data.

You really, really need to get your head around the basics of forms default behaviour or you will never be any good at writing forms.


As to what you should do instead, we have no idea, because you still haven't answered any of our questions about what the form is supposed to do:
