Edit table data through multiple forms

Question

Hi everyone,
I have a report page with records from a table. I want to edit the records through multiple forms: one form holds half of the columns to edit, another form holds the rest.
I'm not sure how to create the connections between the pages with the forms and the report page with the record to edit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Ways you could go about this:
1. Manually create the items on each page, then on the final page have your own process with the code: insert into <table> (1,2,3,4,5) values (:p1_item, :p1_item2, :p1_item3, :p2_item1, :p2_item2);
2. Have a DML process on each page, only with the columns you want to insert - of course, the items on the pages after the first form page would have to be nullable (which isn't really a good idea imo, unless of course it follows the business rules), otherwise you wouldn't be able to do the initial insert on the first form page - then after create have a branch to the next form page, passing in the primary key to the next page, so its just updating the row when you hit apply changes.
