Post-change trigger raising when query!!

Question

this trigger is form related: i just attach a post-change trigger with an item.
contains the following code
declare
name varchar2(50);
name1 varchar2(50);
begin
name1 :='%'||:BLK_EMP_MST.FATHER_NM||'%';
select first_nm INTO name from hrt_emp_mst
where father_nm like name1;
if(name is not null) then
MESSAGE(name||' has same father name');
MESSAGE('WARNING');
end if;
exception
when no_data_found then
null;
end;
it working fine when we insert a new record. but when i query for record, it fires, which should not be

I agree with Manu, rather than use a Post-Change trigger to validate user input, use the When-Validate-Item (WVI) trigger instead. This will allow you to validate the input from a user, but the WVI trigger won't fire when a record is queried into your block.
@Manu
POST-QUERY is kept only for backward compatibility in 10gI think you meant to say "Post-Change" instead of "Post-Query." The Post-Change trigger has been depricated, but the Post-Query trigger is still valid in all Forms versions.
