13.9 AUTO_SET_ASSOCIATED_ITEM Procedure

This procedure automatically sets the associated page item or tabular form column based on a constraint contained in p_error.ora_sqlerrm.This procedure performs the following:

Identifies the constraint by searching for the schema.constraint pattern.
Only supports constraints of type P, U, R and C.
For constraints of type C (check constraints), the procedure parses the expression to identify those columns that are used in the constraints expression.
Using those columns, the procedure gets the first visible page item or tabular form column that is based on that column and set it as associated p_error_result.page_item_name or p_error_result.column_alias.
If a page item or tabular form column was found, p_error_result.display_location is set to apex_error.c_inline_with_field_and_notif.
