Oracle Developer Advanced Forms & Reports

This guide shows the reader how to develop powerful web-based and client/server applications in record time, and maximize the power of Oracle Developer to create sophisticated, flexible, and user-friendly database applications. This unique book 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.In a recent Computerworld survey Oracle Developer was second only to Visual Basic in "most-wanted" development tools skills for 1999. Developer's Forms supports a variety of object-oriented features that greatly enhance the productivity of the product, but few developers know how to use these features. This book shows them how. Version 6.0 has been thoroughly debugged and is drawing critical-quality applications in under an hour. CD-ROM includes ready-to-use template and report applications.
