Oracle Forms Triggers

Trigger is a set of statements that executed when an action take a place.


There is some types depends on event level (Form, Block, Record, Item) for Triggers, if the same
trigger found in more than one level then the lowest level will run ex: when_validate_item on (form,
block, item) then only the item level will run. The second types of triggers depends on the time for run
(pre, when, post, on, custom) each type is different from other in time to run.
Pre: before the chosen event ex: pre_query (before execute the query).
When: during the event ex: when_validate_item (when item data validation).
Post: after the event ex: Post_Query (after execution of query).
On: this type unpredictable cause we don’t know when it will run, may during a trigger execution or
just when you try to enter data in protected field.
Custom: you can add a custom trigger and call it from any were (execute_trigger(‘custome_tri’);)

Here are some of the most important trigger can the programmer use in any program:
