    Triggers are sets of statements that execute when certain actions occur. There are different types of triggers based on the event level and timing. Some important triggers include when_new_form_instance to initialize variables, on_error to handle runtime errors, pre_insert and pre_update to set field values implicitly, and when_validate_item to validate item data. Triggers execute at different times like pre-event, during the event, or post-event. System variables are also available to access information about the current block and item.

    Oracle Forms Triggers


    Trigger is a set of statements that executed when an action take a place.
    There is some types depends on event level (Form, Block, Record, Item) for Triggers, if
    the same trigger found in more than one level then the lowest level will run ex:
    when_validate_item on (form, block, item) then only the item level will run. The second
    types of triggers depends on the time for run (pre, when, post, on, custom) each type is
    different from other in time to run.
    Pre: before the chosen event ex: pre_query (before execute the query).
    When: during the event ex: when_validate_item (when item data validation).
    Post: after the event ex: Post_Query (after execution of query).
    On: this type unpredictable cause we don’t know when it will run, may during a trigger
    execution or just when you try to enter data in protected field.
    Custom: you can add a custom trigger and call it from any were
    (execute_trigger(‘custome_tri’);)

    Here are some of the most important trigger can the programmer use in any program:
