Oracle Forms is the single most important tool used to create sophisticated applications for Oracle databases. The latest versions of Oracle Forms have reflected Oracle's Internet-centered strategy, adding powerful capabilities for building Web-centered applications to the product's traditional client/server focus. In Oracle Forms Developer's Handbook, one of the world's leading Oracle developers presents powerful techniques for leveraging Oracle Forms in both web-centered and client/server environments. This is the first Oracle Forms book to reflect the brand-new Version 6i. Oracle Forms Developer's Handbook starts by presenting step-by-step instructions for using every tool in the Forms environment, including the Forms Designer, Object Navigator, and the Layout Editor. Next, learn how to use PL/SQL in Forms applications; master all of the methods and objects available to Forms programmers; and learn how to apply object-oriented programming practices to Forms development, including inheritance, reusability, encapsulation, and polymorphism. Then, walk step-by-step through developing a series of complete, elegant, well-performing Web-based and client/server applications. An accompanying CD-ROM contains all of the book's applications and source code examples, plus all files needed to create and populate sample database objects -- enabling readers to start from any chapter and follow the hands-on activities.
