Oracle Forms Developer – Form Builder Reference, Volume 1

UPDATE_CHART built-in
Description
A data block is updated whenever it is queried or when changes to it are committed. By default, when the
block is updated, any charts based on the data block are automatically updated. You can use the
UPDATE_CHART built-in to explicitly cause a chart item to be updated, even if the data block on
which it is based has not been updated. For example, you may want update the chart to reflect
uncommitted changes in the data block.
