Insert record in master detail relationship

Question

Hi,
I have the following situation. I have two tables (master and detail in 1:1 relationship). What I want to do is to skip through the master table and insert a record into the detail table containing only the id of the master table (foreign key column in detail table).
My tables look like this:
Master:
ID
NAME
ADRESS
Detail:
ID
DETAILS
MASTERID (foreign key)
For I am not experienced in PL/SQL does anybody give me an idea on how to do this. I think it is suitable to have a procedure solving this...
Thanks in advance!

Here you go:
CREATE TABLE dt_test_master
(     id           number primary key,
     descr      varchar2(10)
INSERT INTO dt_test_master VALUES(1, 'Master 1')
INSERT INTO dt_test_master VALUES(2, 'Master 2')
CREATE TABLE dt_test_child(id number, master_id number, col1 varchar2(10))
alter table dt_test_child add constraint dt_test_child_fk_master
foreign key(master_id) references dt_test_master
CREATE SEQUENCE dt_test_child_id_seq
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE p_CreateChild(     an_MasterId dt_test_child.master_id%TYPE,
av_Col1          dt_test_child.col1%TYPE
IS
BEGIN
     INSERT
     INTO
          dt_test_child
          (     id,
               master_id,
               col1
     VALUES
          (     dt_test_child_id_seq.NEXTVAL,
               an_MasterId,
               av_Col1
END;
SQL> exec p_CreateChild(1,'Child1');

SQL> exec p_CreateChild(1,'Child2');

SQL> exec p_CreateChild(2,'Child1');
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> exec p_CreateChild(3,'Child1');
BEGIN p_CreateChild(3,'Child1'); END;
