Question : first time Oracle user - Creating LOV in Master Detail relationship

Hi Guru's.
I am trying to implement a database in Oracle for the first time, using oracle designer 2000.

problems.
I have a master detail relationship between two tables.
table Booking references the customer table with a foreign key cust_id.

The relationship works fine, but i want to add a LOV onto the canvas to lookup cust-name and display all the values for that customer and their booking details. I have created a LOV on single blocks, displaying all thier values with no problems.

How is this done, i get an error just trying to return the cust_id, before the application runs?

I wonder if there is an good sources of information on the internet, as i have many more problems(menus, list e.t.c) to solve and finding the help diffulcult to use.
otherwise i will just have to ask you guys every day i suppose.

Thanks Woollar1

Answer : first time Oracle user - Creating LOV in Master Detail relationship

hi Aaron,

- regrettably i don't have Designer2000 installed here at the moment (i.e. in middle of 9ias stuff), however, below comments are my recollection:

1. the table-block default triggers function only w/in table-block scope, and pertain only to the table related to their context (i.e. block)

2. i recall using a VIEW to support a Master-Detail LOV lookup

3. create view of Customer & Booking table, Create single LOV on VIEW as if it was a table

4. Updateable Views are an option.

see ya, (i.e. i'll update my at-home stuff soon)
