26.3 Creating a Legacy Master Detail Form
Create a legacy master detail form by running the Create Page Wizard and selecting Legacy Page and then Legacy Master Detail.
Note:
Legacy master detail forms are legacy application components. Although Oracle still supports legacy components, Oracle recommends developers use the new master detail format which includes one or multiple interactive grids. See "Creating Master Detail Forms."
Developers can create a legacy master detail form using the Create Page Wizard from two tables that do not have foreign key relationship defined in the database. Although Oracle recommends the use of foreign keys and properly defined relationships in the underlying database, developers do not always have the ability to modify their database model.
In a legacy master detail form, the master detail form page includes buttons that enable the user to move forward and backward within the master result set. While running the wizard, you choose which columns determine the navigation order. You also have the option to choose whether to create a two-page or three-page master detail form, with the detail records shown in a report with single-record editing on a separate page.
