Hi!
I have a non-base-table item which I want to update in the pre-update trigger of the current block.
If the content of the field exceeds 4000 characters, i get the error message
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column.
The code is
update tab set long_col = :formsblock.long_col
where tab.tabpk = :formsblock.foreign_tabpk;
Workarounds would be,
1.) to delete the old dataset and insert the new one:
delete from tab
where tab.tabpk = :formsblock.tabpk;
insert into tab (tabpk, long_col) values
(:formsblock.foreign_tabpk, :formsblock.long_col);
or 2.) to change the Item from a non-database item to a database item and use the internal update of the forms-module, but both workarounds are not very satisfying.
Do you know another way to update the LONG-column within the pre-update trigger (or any other PL/SQL part of forms)?
Thank you!
Greetings,
Dirk Schröder
