Oracle Forms Developer – Form Builder Reference, Volume 1

COUNT_QUERY built-in
Description
In an On-Count trigger, performs the default Form Builder processing for identifying the number of rows
that a query will retrieve for the current block, and clears the current block. If there are changes to
commit in the block, Form Builder prompts the end user to commit them during COUNT_QUERY
processing. Form Builder returns the following message as a result of a valid call to COUNT_QUERY:
FRM-40355: Query will retrieve records.
54
This built-in is included primarily for applications that will run against a non-ORACLE data source.
