I have a very simple Oracle Apex app. I created a button on the home page. I also created a second page using the "Form" template, and the source for this form is a table in the local database.
I set the button to open the form, and I passed the value of the primary key of this form (it's a column called ID) from the home page to the form page, as this screenshot of the button's behavior shows (3 is the page number of the form, P3_ID is the page item in the form associated with the primary column "ID", and 1 is the value that I passed for P3_ID):
The table that the form references is empty, i.e. there is no row with ID equal to 1. Meaning I want to pass the value of 1 to this form so that it automatically create a row with ID of 1 after the user fills out the rest of the form. Here is the form page:
Now the error. When I run the app and press the button, I get this error:
The error says it's from the process called "Initialize form Warcraft Particulars". I searched everywhere and I couldn't find a process by that name anywhere in the app. What am I doing wrong?
CodePudding user response：
Pre-rendering process (in a form) will try to execute query and fetch a row whose ID = 1; as it doesn't exist, Apex raises the no_data_found error. That's why you got it (the error).
Moreover, you're doing it wrong - don't pass ID you'd want to create, fill it in form's process (or use a database trigger which will put a sequence number into the ID column, or use an identity column if your Oracle database supports it (12c onward)).
Furthermore, I'd suggest a slightly different approach: don't create a form that's alone in the Universe. Approach that lets you both view existing data, update (or delete) it and insert new rows is to use a Wizard and choose a report with a form. Exact naming is different from one Apex version to another; for example, current apex.oracle.com Apex version is 22.2 and it offers "Interactive report", while the 1st Wizard page lets you choose whether you want (or not) to include a form page (you'd say "Yes").
Anyway: once you find the correct option, choose it and wizard will then create an interactive report page you'd use to
- view current data
- it has an edit icon at the beginning of each row which - when pressed - navigates to the form page where you can edit values or delete entire row
- create new row (by pressing the "Create" button)
and a form page which does what I described a moment ago.
