Editor's Notes
- #4 Note: Follow Oracle naming rules. Do not give two objects of the same type the same Name. The name cannot include Oracle or Form Builder reserved words.
- #12 Note: Apply is available only when you reenter the Layout Wizard to modify an existing layout.
- #23 What happens when you modify a Relation? Changing the Delete Record Behavior property from the default of Non-isolated to Cascading replaces the On-Check-Delete-Master trigger with the Pre-Delete trigger. Changing the Delete Record Behavior property from the default of Non-isolated to Isolated results in the removal of the On-Check-Delete-Master.
