Description

Maximize the power of Oracle Developer to create sophisticated, flexible, and user-friendly database applications.

This unique guide contains an invaluable resource—a discussion of actual Forms and Reports standards used by the authors to create production systems. Included are standards for the use of SQL and PL/SQL in the development tools, naming conventions, and GUI design. In addition, there is extensive coverage of advanced techniques you can use to save time when developing and maintaining your forms and reports. Examples are based on the authors' award-winning Forms template used in many real-world projects.

Learn to:

Take advantage of Oracle Developer's object-oriented features

	Build simple applications in less than an hour and more complex ones in a day or two
	Create and deploy standards for best practices, code sharing, and object reuse

Use Forms and Reports template systems to create custom applications with a consistent look and feel

Master the GUI design features of Forms and Reports

Successfully manage a development project using the tips and techniques of experts.

Notes:

	The book uses Developer Release 6 (Forms 6 and Reports 6) as the focus for the techniques.
	Many of the techniques will also work with Developer Release 2 (Forms 5 and Reports 3).
	If you are using Dev. 6, download the Sample v.6 files below.
	If you are using Dev. 2, download both files below. The v.6 file contains non-Developer code examples as well as the template. Most of those will work in Dev.2.
	Look on the Tips page for a Dev. 1 (Forms 4.5) sample template.
