Designed for database developers, programmers and database administrators.

The only book on Oracle Forms that covers the product while showing readers how to create actual, working, powerful applications using Oracle Forms, updated to include all the new web-based and web-oriented features of Oracle Forms 6i. Oracle Forms is the single most important tool used to create sophisticated client/server applications for Oracle databases. Oracle proclaims that the Internet changes everything. And so it does. Recent versions of Oracle's Forms have moved the tool from strictly a client-server based product to a client-server and web-based product. This book updates the other Lulushi books to include Internet based development. This version is so current that it includes coverage right up to Forms version 6i (scheduled for release in Summer 2000). (Note: All other editions/versions of Lulushi's Forms books will remain in print, to accommodate the existing installed base.

Synopsis:

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.
