Oracle Forms Developer – Form Builder Reference, Volume 1

Optimize Transaction Mode Processing (Forms Runtime)
Description
Optimizes transaction mode processing.
By default, Form Builder assigns a separate database cursor for each SQL statement that a form executes
implicitly as part of posting or querying data. This behavior enhances processing because the statements
in each cursor are parsed only the first time they are executed in a Forms Runtime session, not every
time.
Note that the cursors that are assigned to query SELECT statements must be parsed every time they are
executed. This exception exists because queries can vary from execution to execution.
When you specify OptimizeTP=NO, Form Builder assigns a separate cursor only for each query
SELECT statement. All other implicit SQL statements share, or reuse, cursors. This behavior saves
memory but slows processing because all INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and SELECT FOR UPDATE
statements must be parsed every time they are executed.
Option Name Optimize Transaction Mode Processing optimizetp
Default YES
Optimize Transaction Mode Processing (Forms Runtime) restrictions
The OptimizeTP parameter has no effect if you replace standard Form Builder processing with On-
Insert, On-Update, and On-Delete triggers because these triggers replace the implicit issuance of
INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements.
