Oracle Forms Developer – Form Builder Reference, Volume 1

On-Commit trigger
Description
Fires whenever Form Builder would normally issue a database commit statement to finalize a transaction.
By default, this operation occurs after all records that have been marked as updates, inserts, and deletes
have been posted to the database.
The default COMMIT statement that Form Builder issues to finalize a transaction during the Post and
Commit Transactions process.
Definition Level form
Legal Commands
SELECT statements, PL/SQL, unrestricted built-ins
Enter Query Mode no
Usage Notes
• Use an On-Commit trigger to change the conditions of normal Form Builder commit processing to
fit the particular requirements of a commit to a non-ORACLE database.
• To perform the default processing from this trigger, call to the built-in.

On-Commit trigger examples
Example
This example disables the commit operation when running against a datasource that does not support
transaction control. If the application is running against ORACLE, the commit operation behaves
normally.
BEGIN
IF Get_Application_Property(DATA_SOURCE) = ’ORACLE’ THEN
Commit_Form;
ELSIF form_fatal OR form_failure THEN
raise form_trigger_failure;
END IF;
/*
** Otherwise, no action is performed
*/
END;
