Oracle Forms Developer – Form Builder Reference, Volume 1

On-Insert trigger
Description
Fires during the Post and Commit Transactions process when a record is inserted. Specifically, it fires
after the Pre-Insert trigger fires and before the Post-Insert trigger fires, when Form Builder would
normally insert a record in the database. It fires once for each row that is marked for insertion into the
database.
Definition Level form or block
Legal Commands
SELECT statements, DML statements (DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE), unrestricted built-ins

Usage Notes
• Use an On-Insert trigger to replace the default Form Builder processing for handling inserted
records during transaction posting.
• To perform the default Form Builder processing from this trigger, include a call to the
INSERT_RECORD built-in.
On Failure
Form Builder performs the following steps when the On-Insert trigger fails:
• sets the error location
• rolls back to the most recent savepoint
