Inserting manually in a form

Lets say I have to insert a new record into a TESTTABLE manually when user presses a button.
I put the code in when-button-press trigger
/code
insert into table..values...
set_record_property(1,block, status_changed); -- mark the block as changed
/code
It work except that when a user close the form/window , form ask the user to save changes yes/no.
The problem is evenif user select 'no', the form is still inserting the record into testtable.
any idea why is this happening, how to prevent it. I do not want to insert if user select no.
Thx

The moment you execute the INSERT statement the records will be inserted into the table but they are not committed until you issue a COMMIT_FORM or press "Save", even if the user chooses "No" in the dialog box, your insert statement was an explicit statement, the form is not aware of the insert, that's why it cannot roll back.
If you want to rollback, you need to customize some triggers, create a savepoint before you insert the records and use a ROLLBACK statement in in your POST-FORM trigger.
Unfortunately I don't have Forms installed on my current machine to test, but it should work.
Try it, It's Fun.

Insert Rows Above in Form

Hello all,
I'm trying to allow users to insert rows on a form in such away that the added row renders in the middle of the form. Probably having a check box on each row saying 'insert row above'.
The purpose is to emulate editing a table in a word processor basically. I understand I'd have to manage re-sequencing the data as the user changes records that appear in the 'middle' of the table.
I've seen D Kubicek's 'row mover' page and it's a good fallback, however I'd be interested as to whether what I want is really simple or will involve a lot of js and / or Ajax.
Cheers,
Toby
================================================
Eg
Before
Sequence Data Chkbox ("insert above")
======================
ID1 Value1 []
ID2 Value2 []
ID3 Value3 [x]
After
Sequence Data Chkbox
======================
ID1 Value1 []
ID2 Value2 []
(null) (null) []
ID3 Value3 []

See this example on that issue if your tabular form is standard:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:209
This example again, if it is a manual one:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:170
As Andy suggested, the order in the SQL, nulls first would do the job. However, if sorting is enabled, there is a problem.

Help with validation on a manually created tabbed form

version 4.1.1.00.23
Hello,
I have a manually created tabbed form that I'm having trouble creating validation on.
The page is a Resource Staffing page where PM's can forecast the Resources that will be needed for various projects. The forecast can be for 12 - 18 months.
The requirement is to display a message to the user if they are trying to save a row without forecasting any time. It's possible they may not know how may Resources or the length of time needed when the row is created. If they respond that they want to save the row without time the MRU will create the record. If they answer that they do not want to save the row they are returned to the page without loss of information.
The month fields on the page are defaulting to 0 (zero).
I've updated the Save button to Redirect to URL and in the URL Redirect I have: javascript:confirmNoTimeSaved()
The javascript:
[code]
function confirmNoTimeSaved()
    var arr_jan,arr_feb,arr_mar,arr_apr,arr_may,arr_jun,arr_jul,arr_aug,arr_sep,arr_oct,arr_nov,arr_dec = new Array();
        arr_jan = document.wwv_flow.f07;
        arr_feb = document.wwv_flow.f08;
        arr_mar = document.wwv_flow.f09;
        arr_apr = document.wwv_flow.f10;
        arr_may = document.wwv_flow.f11;
        arr_jun = document.wwv_flow.f12;
        arr_jul = document.wwv_flow.f13;
        arr_aug = document.wwv_flow.f14;
        arr_sep = document.wwv_flow.f15;
        arr_oct = document.wwv_flow.f16;
        arr_nov = document.wwv_flow.f17;
        arr_dec = document.wwv_flow.f18;
    for(i = 0; i < arr_jan.length; i++)
        if(arr_jan[i].value == 0 && arr_feb[i].value == 0 && arr_mar[i].value == 0
            && arr_apr[i].value == 0 && arr_may[i].value == 0 && arr_jun[i].value == 0
            && arr_jul[i].value == 0 && arr_aug[i].value == 0 && arr_sep[i].value == 0
            && arr_oct[i].value == 0 && arr_nov[i].value == 0 && arr_dec[i].value == 0)
            txt = 'You have no time assigned to your Forecast. Do you want to save this Forecast without time entered?' + '\n' + '\n' + '"Yes" to save the Forecast.' + '\n' + '"No" to return with no changes.';
            caption = 'Confirm Saving With No Time';
            vbMsg(txt,caption)
            switch (isChoice)
                case 6:
                    doSubmit('SUBMIT');
                    break;
                case 7:
                    doSubmit('CANCEL2');
                    break;
        else
            doSubmit('SUBMIT');
            break;
</script>
<script language="VBScript">

</script>
[/code]
The 'CANCEL2' is just a Branch I'm using to branch back to the page without clearing Cache. I do have 'Cancel' button on the page and the Branch created for that clears the Cache.
While debugging the javascript I get into the VB Script on the testVal = MsgBox(isTxt,vbYesNo,isCaption) line and the browser crashes.
Can someone help with this requirement?
What additional information can I provide?
Thanks,
Joe

The code above is my attempt at this requirement, however, the browser crashes when it gets to the VBScript on the MsgBox call. I don't have to use this approach. Does someone have an idea how to solve this?
Thanks,
Joe

Select list in a manually created tabular form

I created a select drop down item in a manually created tabular form. When I run the page, it also shows the null value '%'. How do I edit this?
This is the line I am using in the SQL:
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(34,IN_PGRS_STAT_DSC,'select distinct STAT_DSC, STAT_DSC from PROJECT_STATUS_REF') IN_PGRS_STAT_DSC,

And the select list doesn't work. It gives me an error message if I have the form to display one extra empty record and the select list. But even with the select list, if I don't include the extra row, it works properly.
report error:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 13:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "COLLECT" when expecting one of the following:
:= . ( @ % ;
ORA-06550: line 1, column 82:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol ";" when expecting one of the following:
. ( , % from
What I also realized is that the drop down shows the value 7. But the table is empty with no records. I have no idea where this number 7 is coming from?

What error do you get?
If you get no error, check if you have proper error handling, not something like "when others than null", or an on-error trigger that doesn't show you the error.

2 manually created tabular form on the same page based on 2 different table

Hi, I followed the how to document on manually creating tabular form, including one extra row.
The first form I created works fine, but when I attempt to create the second tabular form based on a different table on the same page, I get the following error message when I try to create the query:
ORA-04045: errors during recompilation/revalidation of PUBLIC.X ORA-00980: synonym translation is no longer valid
The logic behind both tabular forms I am using is the same, except that for the second query, I use 100 instead of 1, 300 instead of 3, etc:
select htmldb_item.hidden(1,empno) empno,
ename,
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(3,job,'select distinct job, job from emp') job,
htmldb_item.popupkey_from_query(4,mgr,'select ename, empno from emp',10) mgr,
wwv_flow_item.date_popup(6,null,hiredate) hiredate,
htmldb_item.text(7,sal,10) sal,
htmldb_item.text(8,comm,10) comm,
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(9,deptno,'select dname, deptno from dept') deptno
from emp
Can anybody help?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
If by "100 instead of 1" you mean the column numbers, then this won't work as you can only have a maximum of 50.

Inserting data from jsp form to multiple tables !

Hi,
I want to insert data from jsp form to two tables
tables are
(1) Form
formId (PK)
deptName
(2) Data
formId (FK)
sNo
description
itemCode
and the problem is that i want to save information form a jsp form to above two tables and i have only one form.
so how do i insert data from a jsp form to multiple tables.

You already know what your form in the jsp will be and what fields they are. You also already know what your database looks like. Using one form, you should be able to break the data down, and give it certain ids and/or names, so that when the form is submitted, you retrieve the correct values corresponding to a specific field and insert it.
Unless there is something else I am not catching, this seems pretty straight forward.

Can it be possible that a user insert data by a form and then create a PFD?

Can it be possible that a user insert data by a form, then store the data in the Data Base and finally create a PFD?
If this is possible with BI Publisher, what do i have to do to link the form with the BIPublisher interface?
Regards

Hi
If you just have a PDF form and do not need to pre populate data then all you need do is:
1. Add a submit button to the PDF - you can use the full Adobe product or a BIP API
2. Load the PDF as a template with a dummy data source.
The user can then run the "report" as usual. When they have completed the form they can hit the Sumit button on the form. Adobe will then scrape the data out of the form in an XML format and post it to the URL you added. At the other end of the URL you need a servlet to accept and process the XML data.
If you need to prepopulate the form you can attach a datasource to the PDF template but ensure the fields are preserved after running the form for the user through the config options.
BIP does have APIs to populate drop lists, etc but these are not exposed thru through the BIP UI.
I'll try and write this up for the blog and OTN soon

Not able insert ,query data from forms

hi,
I am not able to insert data or query data from forms(10g devsuite).getting error frm-40505,frm 40508 .i am able to insert and select record from sql plus.the block ihave created is control block .it is connected to the table using the properties.
should i do anything to insert record.please help

the block ihave created is control block .it is connected to the table using the properties.A Control Block, by definition, is a non-database block. This means the block is not directly connected to a table so you have to manually display data in the block and any DML you want to perform on data in this block you must do manually as well.
There are four database objects you can base your database block on; 1) a Table, 2) a View, 3) From Clause Query (basically an In-line View), and 4) a database stored procedure. I recommend you use one of these four methods rather than manually display your data.

If I were you, I would never do this through any program. The only secure, reliable way is to rewrite everything by your own hands. Even if we could argue, your way works as well (and could be faster at the beginning), at the firt moment you will be asked to perform any tiny change in this "imported" thing, you will cry your eyes out (and understand why it is the only useful way to rewrite everything manually).

Manually created tabular form

I created a tabular form manually. I got it to work so that it displays a blank record automatically so the user can insert a new row. But this only gives the user to insert one row at a time. Can this be changed so the user can insert multiple rows at a time?

Thanks. The tabular form (detail) is actually part of another form based on another table (parent).
I want to use the apply changes button that the parent form provides to update recrods for the detail form. And for my requirement, I actually need only 3 extra rows, and this is set number for every parent record.
Can this be done without having to click on add row button, since I only and always need 3 rows?
Thanks

Help please !! Need to insert date automatically in form

I have been trying unsuccessfully for a week to automatically
capture today's date on a form. I can display a date on screen but
it will not insert date into mySQL db. All other information is
inserted as expected.
Am I just whistling in dark? Is there no way to eliminate
user input for the order date field?
I have looked throughout the forums and no luck.
Anyone have any ideas about how to do?
Thanks,
Dale :-)

You can use a timestamp function within your MySQL table, but
remember you can only use the timestamp function ONCE in a table.
Using the timestamp Function:
Set the field type to TIMESTAMP. You can also set the default
to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and the attributes to ON UPDATE
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP if you want the timestamp to change when the
record is updated.
If you want to record times more than the one time you are
using the timestamp and you are using PHP/MySQL or PHP/MySQL ADODB
(InterAKT's PhAKT Extension), then try this:
http://chuckomalley.net/help/insert_date_help.php
That gets the time into the MySQL Database. Next thing you'll
want to do is to have it display the time the way you want it. The
default will display it as yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss and you may not want
it that way. To display it the way you want it try this:
http://chuckomalley.net/help/display_formatted_date.php
For the specific syntax on using this, refer to the online
MySQL Manual and search for DATE_FORMAT() at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/index.html
Cheers

PHP, INSERT FILNAME FIELD FROM FORM

I am trying to do a simple insert record into a MySQL
database and for the life of me I cannot get the file field
(<input name="photoNAME" type="file" id="photoNAME"
/>)
to insert into the database. I have three other fields that
do insert correctly the only one that won't go in is that field. I
can't even get the form field to echo to the screen.
Anyone have any idea why?
Thanks

As Gary indicates, using type="file" is for file uploads. If
all you're
trying to do is get the name of the file into a database,
there's no
need to upload the file. In fact, it's a total waste of
resources.
You need to use the PHP file system functions to build a list
of the
images in your folder, and use it to populate a drop-down
menu of
filenames. I show how to do it in both "Foundation PHP for
Dreamweaver
8" and "PHP Solutions", but it's not all that difficult to
code yourself
if you use scandir() (PHP 5 only).

Insert a Photo into form?

1. We're deciding which version of Adobe to buy...
We have a form that applicants are required to fill out.
I have successfully created this form using Acrobat 9 Pro (trial version on Windows Vista).
Are we able to insert a photo of the applicant onto the form?
And if so, how do I do it? I need to demonstrate that this works to our board before a purchase is made.
So far I've only done a 'workaround solution' which is to create a button, icon only and insert photo.
Is there a better way?
And my last question....
2. Which version to buy? What we need it to do is:
a. send out the form by email to 22 people per week
b. have applicants complete several highlighted fields & return the form by email to us along with a photo
c. we insert their photo on 3 pages if they haven't already done it
d. we print it out
e..when the applicant arrives for their exam, they are given their exam. They check off some boxes manually with a pen
f. we scan the completed 2 sided form into our computer for storage and retrieval
Do we need Standard or Pro ?
Thank you very much

hi!
i just read through the thread but couldn't really follow due to my lack of knowledge of acrobat.
even if i don't know how it seems to be possible to generate a pdf which can be used to attach photos to it with a acrobat reader or any other pdf reader.
it would be great if anyone could explain a bit more in detail how to do this.
my question was if it is also possible to attach any other file to the pdf?
i am a dentist specialising in implantology but unfortunately there is no software which meets the needs for implantologists regarding an exam and diagnosis. everything has to be typed manually in a practice management software which is very expensive and will not be installed on my laptop as i visit the practice just once a week (license too expensive and not useable anyway because server client software).
i would now like to make a .pdf that i can run on every computer with a acrobat reader which alows me to enter everthing i find during my exam.
it would be absolutely awesome if i could also attach clinical photographs, xrays and 3d scan data. there is no need for acrobat to be able to display these data. it just needs to store them in the pdf so i could make the pdf attach al the files and just import it in the software in each practice for each patient.
thanks for the help!
