Update a single column in query only form

Forms 9i, database 10g
I am migrating the form from 6i to 9i. I have a form that is query only except for one field that can be updated. The main block1, based on a view, includes most of the person's personal data, none of which is updateable.. Another block2, based on a table, includes the 3 not-null colums that cannot be updated, and a remarks field, which can be updated. The block2 properties are set YES for insert, update, delete. The three non-updatable columns have properties set to NO for I,U and D, but the remarks column has I,U and D properties set to YES. When I enter data into the remarks field and press the Save on the Forms icon bar, I get error FRM-40508:unable to insert record and the ORA-00001:unique constraint. I don't should not be able insert and I don't want to, I just want to update one column.
What am I not setting correctly in 9i? The same triggers and code works in 6i.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

No, there are no on-update triggers, but there are Post-Qry. I did run it in debug mode, but there is no good place to put a break point, since retrieval of the data works fine. Should I have key-commit trigger on the block to do the update?

Update one column in Query only block

Hi,
I have a question regarding multi-record, multi-columns form block.
A block has 100 columns (column1 to column100).
We have two separate version of same form. In query only mode, update_allowed property of all the blocks in the form is False.
But in query only form, one specifc column should be updateable.
How can use Custom.pll to achive this functionality ?
I tried following steps
1. In when-new-item instance of column 54, wrote set_item_property and set_block_property
2. Update allowed for block and specific item is True
I know that Block property will override the property of items.
Now all the items are updateable in query only form. But i want only one column updateable.
Appreciate you valuable input on this.
Thanks

This is an eBusiness-related question, you should post it in the eBusiness-forum. From the "pure" forms point of view, set the Block as updateable and set all item except the one you want to be updateable to UPDATE_ALLOWED =PROPERTY_FALSE

Update a single column of a table

Hi Champs,
I want to update a single column of table PA0000.
Following is ABAp code I am using:
UPDATE pa0000 SET massn = wa_upd_actn71-massn
                   WHERE pernr = wa_upd_actn71-pernr AND
                          massn = c_crct_entry.
where in current scenario wa_upd_actn71-massn = 54,
                                     wa_upd_actn71-pernr = 10005092,
                                     c_crct_entry = 71.
But this code is not working and note updating the DB table PA0000.
Can you help me out?

hiii,
If u want to update it thr program then write the query as update <dbtablename> set fld = value where <condn>. make sure that the values u pass are converted as per the values in database.
2nd way is goto se16n
specify table name and then enter &sap_edit on command line. sap editing function will be edited. specify the filter parameters on the field and then execute the transaction. u can change thd data instantly as the data appears in editable alv.

Enabling item on a query-only form

Hi,
I call a custom 6i form in query-only mode. However, now I need to enable one item on the first window for search purposes. I tried using SET_ITEM_PROPERTY,(ITEM_NAME,'Insert Allowed','TRUE') but it doesn't work. How do I achieve that functionality?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I tried to set the property 'enabled' of the item to true so that I might be able to enter or update data into it.
I am trying to change the form status from query only = YES and disable the blocks associated with it.

Query-Only Form

How can I restrict a form to be used for Query-Only sometime (for some users) which can also be used as Insert/Update etc another time (for other users).
I am using Open_Form not Call_Form.

use
CALL_FORM('<formname>', no_hide, no_replace,
query_only);
Thanks

Query only form problems

I have a data block linked to a parent table in a parent/child relationship. The parent table's query key is made up of 2 data items. When the form is executed I want the users to enter values in these 2 data items and then press a button that has a trigger to execute the query. How can this be done and what properties should be set on the data block and items in this data block? Also, this form is a query only type form, no updating is to be premitted to the database.

1. Consider to build a control block with these two items in the block.
2. Create a LOV which will return the two items from a record group to the items in the control block.
3. Passing the control block items' value for your query.
Good luck.

Query-only Forms?

By default, the form wizard for portal assumes that I want to enable dml (insert/update/delete). The application forms that I need to build are query (read) only. Is there an option in the wizard for query-only that avoids building all the related dml code?
I'm new to Oracle Portal (but used SQLForms back more years than I care to admit!). Are there any examples/demos of forms where the end user can enter query criteria (e.g., I only want to see employees with last name of "Smith")?

You can try deleting the INSERT, UPDATE and delete buttons during the forms design time.
For the query button, you need to use the following code, depending on the type of form :-
For Form on Table/View, add the following code after doQuery; :-
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => 'DEFAULT',
p_attribute_name => '_FORM_STATE',
p_value => 'QUERY_AND_INSERT');
For Master-Detail forms, add the following after doQuery; :-
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => 'MASTER_BLOCK',
p_attribute_name => '_FORM_STATE',
p_value => 'QUERY_AND_SAVE');
Ideally, if you do not want to do any DML, you can use a Report and for the report layout, you
can choose Form and set the Max Rows per Page as 1 so that you get one record at a time in a form like layout.

Is it possible to update (=change) control block items in a query only form ?

From Form.A we call Form.B with the parameter query_mode = query_only.
This works fine.
But in Form.B we have a non table block (=control block) with an poplist item.
Allthough in query_only mode we like to change (it's not a real update cause it's control block) the poplist.
But because of query_only mode this item is not updateable.
Is there a workaround to make the poplist updateable in query_only mode ?

Hi,
It is not possible to change the BOX position using the Layout painter like changing windows position.
You have change in the page Windows text elements only by changing their co ordinates.

Tabular Report for Update a single column

Hello Everyone,
I have a tabular report which will display 1 column (apart from primary key),
1. I will display a edit icon (on primary key)
2. when the user selects this icon, this only row must become updatable (only one column must become text item, so that user can modify the value).
3. Next this text item, i would like to display save button and cancel button so that user can click one of these buttons next to that particular row.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Anil

There is no easy way to do this without some incredibly lengthy javascript. Tabular forms still do not give much declarative control to the developer.
If you are looking to click a button and update one column on one row, it's easiest to change your design to two pages using report and form. Make the first page the report with an Edit button, click the button (nothing more than a link) and it goes to a basic form with only one updateable field. After submit, branch back to the first page. Easy.
For the end user, there are no more mouse clicks involved in this than what you described originally so it's likely it'll be an acceptable application design change.

Query Only form having issue

I have a simmilar situation here.
Am using a form which has 2 non-DB fields on the canvas and two DB fields on null canvas. While fetching the record I want to show derived values in Non-DB fields based on DB records. So i used Post query.
Now every time it ask me 'Do you want to save your records?' when I hit F4.
Also If i made a Form function with function parameter Query_only = 'Y' . When I hit Ctl+F11 it says you cannot updtate this record. and stuck on those two fields.
Am using Set_Record_Query_Status in post_query but still facing the same issue. Do you have any solution here?
Thanks,
Adi

Adi,
Do you have the Non-DB items in the same Data Block as your DB Fields? Ideally, you should place the non-db items in a Control Block. Another alternative would be to make your non-db items "Display" items. Both will prevent Forms from registerting changes when you Post-Query data into the non-Db items.
Hope this helps.

Purchase Order form in Query only mode for some users

Hi All,
I want to make the Purchase Orders form as query only for a single user. I tried by giving 'Query_only=Yes' in the parameters section. I am getting 'FRM-04151: You cannot query records here' message more than 10 time. I know we get this message and this is applicable to all the users. But this message is comming more than 10 times.
Is there anyway that I can restrict the Query only mode to a single user and please suggest about the message also.
Thanks in Advance,
Naresh

Naresh,
Since you want to achieve this for one user only, I would suggest you create a new function/menu/responsibility and assign this responsibility to the user.

Insert single column

Hi all.
What is the sql statement for insert a single column to the table?
Let say i gt a student table and a admino column.
Thank

u can never insert a single column.
atleast u should insert blanks to the other fields.
inserting a row is possible , inserting single column will not be a normalised table.
by the way u can update a single column.

Performance of update query for single column vs multiple column

Hi All,
I could not find any answer for this, does it ever matter in terms of performance updating single column versus multiple column in a single update query.
For eg. table consisting of 15 columns, what would be the difference in performance when one column is update in the single query against another update query where 15 columns are updated.
Please do keep in mind my table columns in actually could be around 150+.
Thanks for any information provided.

If updated columns aren´t on where clause , then the only impact of 15 columns will be a increase on redo generation, and a possible chainning row.
So since the redo is one of the things that have a large impact, the answer is yes.
The performance will be slower.
