Q7. What Is A Difference Between Pre-select And Pre-query?

Fires during the execute query and count query processing after oracle forms constructs the select statement to be issued, but before the statement is actually issued. The pre-query trigger fires just before oracle forms issues the select statement to the database after the operator as define the example records by entering the query criteria in enter query mode.Pre-query trigger fires before pre-select trigger.

Q8. How Do You Reference A Parameter Indirectly?

To indirectly reference a parameter use the NAME IN, COPY 'built-ins to indirectly set and reference the parameters value' Example name_in ('capital parameter my param'), Copy ('SURESH','Parameter my_param')

get_lov_property

set_lov_property

no

Q29. What Are Difference Between Post Database Commit And Post-form Commit?

Post-form commit fires once during the post and commit tractions process, after the database commit occurs. The post-form-commit trigger fires after inserts, updates and deletes have been posted to the database but before the tractions have been finalized in the issuing the command. The post-database-commit trigger fires after oracle forms issues the commit to finalized tractions.

Q30. What Is The Use Of Tractional Triggers?

Using tractional triggers we can control or modify the default functionality of the oracle forms.

Q31. Name Of The Functions Used To Get/set Canvas Properties?

Get_view_property, Set_view_property

Q32. What Is The Advantage Of The Library?

Libraries provide a convenient me of storing client-side program units and sharing them among multiple applications. Once you create a library, you can attach it to any other form, menu, or library modules. When you can call library program units from triggers menu items commands and user named routine, you write in the modules to which you have attach the library. When a library attaches another library, program units in the first library can reference program units in the attached library. Library support dynamic loading-that is library program units are loaded into an application only when needed. This can significantly reduce the run-time memory requirements of applications.

Q33. What Is The Maximum No Of Chars The Parameter Can Store?

The maximum no of chars the parameter can store is only valid for char parameters, which can be upto 64K. No parameters default to 23Bytes and Date parameter default to 7Bytes.

Q34. What Are The Built-ins Used For Finding Object Id Functions?

Find_group(function)

Find_column(function)

Q35. When Do You Use Data Parameter Type?

When the value of a data parameter being passed to a called product is always the name of the record group defined in the current form. Data parameters are used to pass data to products invoked with the run_product built-in subprogram.

 

Q36. What Are Parameters?

Parameters provide a simple mechanism for defining and setting the valuesof inputs that are required by a form at startup. Form parameters are variables of type char,number,date that you define at design time.

Q37. What Is Coordination Event?

Any event that makes a different record in the master block the current record is a coordination causing event.

Q38. What Is Strip Sources Generate Options?

Removes the source code from the library file and generates a library files that contains only pcode. The resulting file can be used for final deployment, but can not be subsequently edited in the designer.ex. f45gen module=old_lib.pll userid=scott/tiger strip_source YES output_file

Q44. What Are The Built -ins Used For Modifying A Groups Structure?

  • ADD-GROUP_COLUMN (function)
  • ADD_GROUP_ROW (procedure)
  • DELETE_GROUP_ROW(procedure)

Q45. At What Point Of Report Execution Is The Before Report Trigger Fired?

After the query is executed but before the report is executed and the records are displayed.

Q46. What Are The Two Phases Of Block Coordination?

There are two phases of block coordination: the clear phase and the population phase. During, the clear phase, Oracle Forms navigates internally to the detail block and flushes the obsolete detail records. During the population phase, Oracle Forms issues a SELECT statement to repopulate the detail block with detail records associated with the new master record. These operations are accomplished through the execution of triggers.

Q47. What Is An User Exit Used For?

A way in which to pass control (and possibly arguments ) form Oracle report to another Oracle products of 3 GL and then return control ( and ) back to Oracle reports.

Q48. What Is New_form Built-in?

When one form invokes another form by executing new_form oracle form exits the first form and releases its memory before loading the new form calling new form completely replace the first with the second. If there are changes pending in the first form, the operator will be prompted to save them before the new form is loaded.

Q49. What Is The Maximum Allowed Length Of Record Group Column?

Record group column names cannot exceed 30 characters.

Q50. What Is A Record Group?

A record group is an internal Oracle Forms that structure that has a column/row framework similar to a database table. However, unlike database tables, record groups are separate objects that belong to the form module which they are defined.
