Oracle Forms Developer – Form Builder Reference, Volume 1

Post-Forms-Commit trigger
Description
Fires once during the Post and Commit Transactions process. If there are records in the form that have
been marked as inserts, updates, or deletes, the Post-Forms-Commit trigger fires after these changes have
been written to the database but before Form Builder issues the database Commit to finalize the
transaction.
If the operator or the application initiates a Commit when there are no records in the form have been
marked as inserts, updates, or deletes, Form Builder fires the Post-Forms-Commit trigger immediately,
without posting changes to the database.

Usage Notes
Use a Post-Forms-Commit trigger to perform an action, such as updating an audit trail, anytime a
database commit is about to occur.
On Failure
Aborts post and commit processing: Form Builder issues a ROLLBACK and decrements the internal
Savepoint counter.

Post-Forms-Commit trigger examples
Example
This example can be used in concert with the Post-Database-Commit trigger to detect if records have
been posted but not yet committed.
/*
** FUNCTION recs_posted_and_not_committed
** RETURN BOOLEAN IS
** BEGIN
** Default_Value(’TRUE’,’Global.Did_DB_Commit’);
** RETURN (:System.Form_Status = ’QUERY’
** AND :Global.Did_DB_Commit = ’FALSE’);
** END;
*/
BEGIN
:Global.Did_DB_Commit := ’FALSE’;
