All right, here's the problem >>

I have a form on a report with columns and attributes taken from the tables in the database. 5 tables are allocated in the database, but one table is used for this "form on a report."

I named the report as a Company form, where users can add/edit company's name and details into it. However, without the use of candidate keys, i added validations to control the columns such that no two values are the same, although there is a primary key which i named it as company_id.

For the validations, i created an sql expression type "not exist" and input the following code:

SELECT company_name
from Project_COMPANIES
where company_name = :P8_COMPANY_NAME;

The code did work where no two values are the same within a particular column. However, when changes are made to update and delete, it wasn't successful unless users are forced to change the existing values to a different value. So my question was, what are the methods to set such that all three basic functions (Insert, update, delete) can work at the same time?

Regards,
Andrew.
