Oracle Forms Developer – Form Builder Reference, Volume 1

On-Populate-Details trigger
Description
Form Builder creates this trigger automatically when a Master/Detail relation is defined. It fires when
Form Builder would normally need to populate the detail block in a Master/Detail relation.
Definition Level form, block
Legal Commands
SELECT statements, PL/SQL, unrestricted built-ins, restricted built-ins
Enter Query Mode no
Usage Notes
Use an On-Populate-Details trigger when you have established a Master/Detail relationship and you want
to replace the default populate phase of a query.
The On-Populate-Details trigger does not fire unless an On-Clear-Details trigger is present. If you are
using the default Master/Detail functionality, Form Builder creates the necessary triggers automatically.
However, if you are writing your own Master/Detail logic, be aware that the On-Clear-Details trigger
must be present, even if it contains only the NULL statement.
When Immediate coordination is set, this causes the details of the instantiated master to be populated
immediately. Immediate coordination is the default.
When Deferred coordination is set and this trigger fires, Form Builder marks the blocks as needing to be
coordinated.
If you intend to manage block coordination yourself, you can call the SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY
(COORDINATION_STATUS) built-in.
On Failure
Can cause an inconsistent state in the form.
Fires In
Master/Detail Coordination
