How can i make this query run for a form

Question

This query works fine for a sql report
SELECT *
FROM STUDENTS
WHERE given_name||' '||family_name = :P101_USERNAME
AND password = :P101_PASSWORD;
But i want it to do the same thing for a form but i dont have the option like i do for the report where i can just apply the condition to the process.
Anyone any ideas how i could do this so that when i go to the form this information is already there based on the username and password from the previous page?

Answer 1

Assuming that page 101 is your login form, just lookup the primary key of the student based on the values presented in the login page fields, then set and pass this value to the form page.
So you would create a process that runs near the very end of the the login processes on page 101, something like this:
declare
l_student_id students.student_id%TYPE;
begin
select student_id into l_student_id from students where  given_name||' '||family_name = :P101_USERNAME and password = :P101_PASSWORD;
-- then set the value of your form page primary key field
:P1_STUDENT_ID := l_student_id;
end;I've done something similar and it works fine for me, although I haven't looked at it recently.
