Forms and Databases

Hello, I've uploaded my database onto my site and now I've
created an online form that is suppose to populate my database,
however I can't get it to submit the data into the database. I used
the "Record Insertion Form Wizard" in Dreamweaver to create the
form. When I test online, fill in all the fields and click on
submit , it returns me to the index.asp page with an error message
"Internal Server Error". I've also created an additional page
called hello.asp for when the submit button is pressed the page
would "go to" the hello.asp page of my site. I don't know what I'm
doing wrong or what I need to do to correct. Please help! Thank
you.
Here's the site I'm
working on

First question.
Can you return any data? That is do you have a page that is
populated
from the database. My reason for this question to asert that
you have
connection strings/dsn, etc set up on the site the same as
they are
setup up on your test server.

please help me
Mandar

listening for the first time but u r facing the problem, reconfirm that the query/properties are correct in form properties, check it by creating new form module for just checking weather it is showing correct in that form. and c if there is when_new_form_instance trigger or When_Validate_windows trigger used for some execution. and one more thing just check if u didnt change the column and create it again and database type is NO ( properties )

Flash form and Database integration using PHP

One of the simpleest ways to Flash forms and data components
to interact with a MySQL Database is with the use of PHP scripts.
These scripts can be the intermediary between the Flash form and
the MySQL Database. There are some

I hope this helps.

I think i found your problem.
It's a Syntax Error here you should use . instead of ,...
[code]
Subject",$CompanyName
[/code]
this should work.
[code]
Subject".$CompanyName

Forms and database character conversion

Hi,
We currently have a database setup to use a non-utf8 characters set, I believe it is set up for western european languages only. We now want to expand our database to include support for other languages such as arabic and japanese. To do this we would like to make a copy of our existing database and change the charecter set to UTF8.
We also have a Forms application currently using Forms 5 and due to be upgraded to 11g.
What sort of implications willl changing the database character set have for the existing Oracle Forms? What sort of changes if any will we need to make to the Forms in order to get them working with the new character set?
Thanks for your help.

What are the best security practices for your forms and databases

What are some of the best security practices to follow to
ensure your database isn't attacked with injections, forms abused
with snippets of code, and mass spam DB inserts on your
forms?

David Powers books on php for Dw give detailed advice on how
to do
forms, first with html, and then validate them with secure
php
scripts.

Web form and database security risk

I'd like to develop an Oracle Form or APEX Form where people don't have to login to use it. Like a registration form on our website, where anyone can fill it out. Ideally, the information entered into the form would be saved to an Oracle table (could use a flat file if database security is an issue). I'm a developer and don't know a lot about the security side.
I'm thinking we would need a static IP address and an Oracle public password that doesn't expire, since the public doesn't have to login to use the form.
Is this possible and is it a database or network security risk ?

An APEX page can certainly be configured to not require authentication (that's pretty standard for the login/ registration page). There is no need for an "Oracle public password." There are accounts in the Oracle database that APEX uses but that no human needs to know the password for. If that's what you mean by "Oracle public password" then, yes, you do. But that would be the case no matter what authentication and authorization scheme you use in APEX.
A static IP address for your web server is likely a good idea. It's possible to have DNS work with dynamic IP addresses but that's probably not what you want.

Querying a date field with different masks in form and database

Dear friends,
I have a field with date format mask dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss, but the same field has date format dd/mm/yyyy inside the form which queries it.
If I run this form, obviously I will query this date in dd/mm/yyyy format mask, but this date is not being found because it doesn't include hh24:mi:ss (hour) from the database field.
How can I solve this problem? I tried to change my form, putting a format mask with hours, but it requires me to query this date with time, and obviously no one needs to know the exact moment (with seconds!) when the date was recorded in the database.
Thanks, and best regards,
Franklin

Franklin,
You could instruct your users to use the '%' when they enter a date search criteria. Another alternative would be to programatically add the '%' to the date. Also, if your Block based on a view you could alter the vuew to use TRUNC() on the date field to drop the time.
Another option would be to use the Pre-Query trigger to modify the Block WHERE clause to: TRUNC(date_field) = :block.date_field.
Hope this helps.

In IE go into options and under the Advanced Tab deselect the
option to
"Display Friendly URL Errors", then you will get the true
problem. The most
likely cause is a permissions issue with the database. You
need to ensure
that it has write but not browse access enabled.

Forms and database connectivity

Hi to all ,
I am connecting my form (Dev suite 10g) from a Win XP client to a database (Oracle 9i) on Win-2003 server , while connecting it is connecting fine and giving me access to all tables from a specific user, but when i am running the form it was not showing me anything.
Can any one suggest me what could be the probable problem and solutions to that also......

Hi,
Please check you oc4j instance is running otherwise you should mention the error(what you see...).

Forms and database concept

This question is tricky let's see who answers it right - monica give it try...
Q1. If i have three trigger written at the block level namely-
pre-delete
pre-insert
pre-update
and then i do three operations update,delete and insert onthe table what will be the order of execution of the triggers and WHY?
I am answering the order but i want WHY? so.
A1. Pre-delete
Pre-update
Pre-insert
but why?

Anthony,
each Forms application rewuired database authentication information to access teh database schema. This information can be provided in A Forms login dialog, or as mentioned, stored in an LDAP server using Oracle SSO.
The Forms application only knows about the current conencted username and password, not about previous users. I don't see a security issue with this.

Delete record from the form and from the database

hi,
i want delete record from the form and the database ,but the record is only delete from the from !!!
this is my code :
if //condition then
delete_record;
commit;
end if ;
Any solutions ??
thnx

You have unique key field(s) on the table you are trying to insert which actually restricts you from inserting the same value again.
When you are deleting the record and issue commit there is a record to be inserted in the table which is a duplicate that's why you are getting this unique error.
As oracle is not able to insert your commit fails and stops your deletion of record from table

I run Dev 6i on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit,the forms are working fine after connection to the database but the reports continue to request for username, password and database connection string every time i try to open a report.

I receive REP-0501: Unable to connect to specified database. I run developer 6i application on windows 2008 r2. I have applied the nn60.dll and nnb60.dll files to the \BIN directory. The forms are working fine. The reports will only display after the correct user id (username, password and database connection string) is supplied. This is happening to all attempts to open already complied form. Pls, help.

If you are connecting to an Oracle 11g database, remember that by default the passwords are case sensitive. To disable that, run
ALTER SYSTEM SET SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON = FALSE;

Getting "ORA-12703" error in forms 10.1.2.3.0 and database 11.1.0.6.0

Hello All,
I am using forms 10g (10.1.2.3.0) version with database 11g (11.1.0.6.0).
I did some modification in a package. That package is getting called in the forms. After doing modification (just add one if condition) in the package procedure (Not added parameter) I connected to the application and calling the form. I am getting the error message "ORA-12703". After that if I am just compile all the forms, one form is working fine. But in some other form it is not working properly. Still I am getting the error message "ORA-12703". I just put some debug message in the package and form, I compiled both form and package. At this time both are working fine. But if I am putting some debug message in the package only then it is not working. Getting the same error message.
Does it a forms or database issue or I need to do some thing? Any suggestion welcome.
Thanks
SUN

ORA-12703 this character set conversion is not supported
Cause: An attempt was made to use the CONVERT function to convert between two character sets, and the requested conversion is not possible due to unavailability of one or both character sets.
Action: Use character sets available on the system in the CONVERT function.
What character set do you have on the database and what charset on the client side? Maybe SQL*Net issues the convert function when you use different charsets for both?

CONNECTING ORACLE 9I OR 10G DATABASE WITH ORACLE 10G FORMS AND REPORTS

pls tell how to connect oracle 9i or 10g database with oracle developer suite 10g . though the forms are getting connected but not running with error as
FRM-10142 the HTTP listner is not running on pls start the listner or check your runtime preferences.
now pls tell how to start listner and how to chage runtime preferences.
though i have worked with oracle 9i and forms 6i where we used to copy the tnsnames.ora from network/admin of oracle to forms 6i tnsnames.ora.
thank you, you may be thinking such a long question.....

sir
By server i mean the computer where oc4j and backend database are running is one one of the client pc not a dedicated server..., these database and 10g dev suite are installed in one of the client machine,
all the clients are using same internet explorer as browser.
no message is being displyed on some of the client machine where these forms are not being uploaded on browser instead it displays as done in status bar without actually showing anything at all...
sir so far as jinitiator or JRE is concered i have seen on the client machine (where my forms are running on internet explorer) a pop up is displyed telling one activex control is required to run this program and click to install it..
after clicking it download jinitiator from server and after installing jinitiator my forms are loaded and start functioning...
what i feel is as i said this machine where oc4j and database is running is one of the client machine so some other clients do not have acess to this machine, so this might be the reason why those clints are not able to run the said forms on the internet explorer.... can it be so... kindly tell..
thank you for your patience for reading the question

Can we store forms and reports in 10g database in any format

Can we store forms and reports in 10g database in any format

Hi,
Why do you want to store the forms and reports in database? Do you mean something like SCM repository for versioning?
I don't find any use in storing the forms and reports in database.
