AUTOQUERY Returns the VARCHAR2 value TRUE if the Automatic
Query relation property is Yes, FALSE if it is No. When the Deferred

Builder automatically populates the detail block when a different record
becomes the current record in the master block.
DEFERRED_COORDINATION Returns the VARCHAR2 value TRUE
if the Deferred relation property is Yes, FALSE if it is No. This property
determines whether the detail block is to be immediately coordinated with
the current master record, or left clear until the operator navigates to the
detail block.

given master-detail relationship.
MASTER_DELETES Returns one of the following VARCHAR2 values
to indicate the current setting of the block’s Delete Record Behavior
property: NON_ISOLATED, ISOLATED, or CASCADING.
