Oracle Forms Developer - Code Location

This column has focused on where and how to define code in Oracle Database, but the same rules and logic apply to the Oracle Developer environment. I suggest these guidelines:

If your program could be useful on both the server side and the client side, move it to the server, because it can be invoked from both sides there.

If the program is used only in and relevant to client-side modules (it may, for example, manipulate the contents of a field in a form) and you think or know that it will be useful in more than one module, put it into a shared library.

If your client program is very specific to a current form or report, define it within that module.
