Hello,

I'm using an 'On-Update trigger' to replace the default Form Builder processing for updated records. When I try to change a column in the form I get:
ORA-01446: cannot select ROWID from, or sample, a view with DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc.

The on-update doesn't fire. How do I get around this. The block is based on a view.

Have you solved your problem?

Please post your code. Also, search this forum for 'user_updatable_columns'.

I did not solve this problem. I'm still looking, thanks for the information on the 'user_updatable_columns'.

I don't want the form to update the view. If possible, I would like the user to be able to change the columns on the form and the 'new entered data' would be sent to a function (java script) which does the actual update of the tables.

If you don't want to do an update, why are you DOING an update?

PLEASE POST THE CODE OF YOUR ON-UPDATE TRIGGER.

Hello,

What I mean is: I don't want the form to execute the DML 'update' automatically. I want the user to be able to change a column on the form and have the 'on-update trigger' call a java script to perform the DML update.

This is my understanding; if you use an 'on-update trigger' the form should fire that trigger for an update not the forms default process for an update. This is the code:

fnd_Message.set_name 'fnd',:c_per_employee_discipline_v.employee_number);
fnd_message.show;

c_per_discipline.initialize (:C_PER_EMPLOYEE_DISCIPLINE_V.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER,
:C_PER_EMPLOYEE_DISCIPLINE_V.DATE_ADMINISTERED);

c_per_discipline.updateenddate
(:C_PER_EMPLOYEE_DISCIPLINE_V.DATE_START,
:C_PER_EMPLOYEE_DISCIPLINE_V.DATE_END);


It doesn't fire this trigger (nor does it file the pre-update). As soon as you enter the column to change it the error appears.

I have experimented with the block and report properties with no success. Embarassed

Why don't you use VB?

Visual Basic?


We are a Java shop and eventually will convert all Oracle forms to JSP.


Oracle forms is not capable of doing what I'm asking?

It just seems such a waste of time. Just write your Java stuff and stop trying to twist forms to do things it wasn't designed to do.

Hello all!

I suppose that tnegrey don't need this anymore, but I was suffering from the same problem and I found a workaround for it.

This "problem" occurs at the ON-LOCK trigger of the block. When the query data source is a complex view (with distinct or group by), it's not possible to get the rowid to lock the record.

So, if you create a new ON-LOCK trigger (overwriting the default), you can develop your own treatment to lock the record that you will update (or use a simple "null;" statement Shocked ).

Is your block from a query that is DISTINCT? Then you cannot do that.
