The post-database commit trigger is executed after Oracle forms issue the commit to finalized transaction while, the post-form commit is fired during the post and commit transactions process, after the database commit occurs.
In Oracle Forms, “post-database commit” and “post-form commit” are events that occur during the data commit process, but they have different scopes and triggers.
- Post-Database Commit:
- This event occurs after the changes made in a form are successfully committed to the database.
- It is triggered after the database commit has been executed, meaning that the changes are now permanent in the database.
- Any processing or actions specified in the “post-database commit” trigger will take place after the database transaction is complete.
- This trigger is useful for performing actions that are related to the database state after the commit, such as updating other related tables or triggering external processes.
- Post-Form Commit:
- This event occurs after the changes made in a form are successfully committed to the database, similar to “post-database commit.”
- However, the “post-form commit” trigger is specific to the Oracle Forms environment.
- It is triggered after the form has successfully committed the changes to the database, but before control is returned to the user.
- Actions specified in the “post-form commit” trigger are typically related to the form and its components, and they take place within the context of the form itself.
- It allows you to perform additional processing or take specific actions within the form after the database transaction is complete but before the user regains control.
In summary, the key difference lies in the scope and timing of these events. “Post-database commit” is broader and deals with actions related to the database as a whole, while “post-form commit” is specific to the Oracle Forms environment and allows for form-specific actions after the commit but before returning control to the user.
