Query applied in forms

Question

hi
im not sure on how to show my query on the forms that i am using. i am new to oracle form builder 9i. My query is as stated below
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW OZ AS
select DISTINCT court_id
from booking
where court_id not IN
(select court_id
from booking
where lower (booking_start_time) = lower('&booking_start_time')
and lower (booking_date) = lower('&booking_date')
and lower (court_id) = lower('&court_id')
and lower (booking_status) = lower('&booking_status'));
Im not sure how i would be able to type in the availability fields in the forms that need entering in the fields mentioned in the script above. How would this be done
thanks for reading.

Hi,
i think one chance is to use a stored procedure as Block DataSource.
Create a Package:
create or replace court_disp as
TYPE t_courtrec IS RECORD(
court_id booking.court_id%TYPE
TYPE t_courttab IS TABLE OF t_courtrec
INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
PROCEDURE court_qry(
pt_block_data IN OUT t_courttab
, p_start_time IN varchar2
, p_end_time IN varchar2
, p_court_id IN varchar2
, p_status IN varchar2
in procedure court_qry:
ln_lfd := 1;
for cr in ( select distinct court_id from ... )
loop
pt_block_data( ln_lfd ).court_id := cr.court_id;
ln_lfd := ln_lfd + 1;
end loop;
U can use datablock wizard to assign parameters.
good luck
