Integrating PL / SQL with a Button on a Web Page ...

Question

I would be very grateful if someone could help with the following query.
I have a database with a table called '*Tbl1*', which contains the following columns:-
1). tbl1_unique_id (number, primary key);
2). tbl1_title (VARCHAR2, 200);
3). tbl1_description (VARCHAR2, 2000);
4). tbl1_notes (VARCHAR2, 500);
5). tbl1_status (Open, Closed).
I have also created a page, which displays all of the records where the tbl1_status is equal to 'Open'.
What I would like to do is add a button to the page, which when pressed, replaces whatever information is in the tbl1_notes column with a default statement.
I have managed to produce PL / SQL code, which will query the table and update only those rows where tbl1_status is equal to 'Open' when using the 'SQL Commands' window, but I am having trouble integrating it with a button on the web page.
I think that I need a 'Page Process', but I do not know what type (Data Manipulation, On Demand, PL / SQL, etc) or how to set it up correctly.
Any help you can provide with regard to the above query will be appreciated.

Trevor,
Navigate to the page where you would like to add the process. Add the button if you've not already done so. Then click the "create page process" button under the Page Processing column.
Select PL/SQL and click Next >.
Enter a Name and click Next >.
Paste your code from the SQL Workshop and click Next >.
Enter success/failure messages if you like and click Next >.
Select the button you added and click Create Process.
Regards,
Dan
