Modifying the Default Master-Detail Functionality

In special situations, you may want to modify or extend the default master-detail functionality that Oracle Forms provides. For example, if your application runs against non-ORACLE data sources or includes long relation chains that require non-standard functionality, you might want to implement your own block coordination mechanism.

GET_RELATION_PROPERTY Built-in

SET_RELATION_PROPERTY Built-in
