SANPATOct 15 2021

Dear Friends
We want to insert data from A table to B table. How it will be written in Oracle Apex Forms.
In the form 12c i was writing the code in the following way, now in apex how to write.
Create Procedure Test1 as
Declare
Cursor a1 is select empno,name from employee;
begin
delete from test1;
commit;
for i in a1
loop
insert into test1(empno,name)
values (i.empno,i.name);
end loop;
COMMIT_FORM;
end;

It looks like table TEST1 is being used as a temp table.
In Forms, this should probably have been a GTT.
GTTs don't work in APEX dye to Connection Pooling. You'd use a Collection instead.
But, I'm just guessing about the purpose of TEST1.
(PS - you should probably have just done an INSERT... SELECT instead of parsing a cursor in a loop)

Dear Mike Kutz
I want to delete all the old records from test1. then i want to update the table with the latest Query data from test table. can you suggest how to insert the records using the procedure in Oracle Apex .
Delete all Data from A Table
Query on Table B and get the data
Insert the Query data into A Table.

APEX is stateless. It automatically calls COMMIT as needed (or ROLLBACK ).
I'd keep it simple, Sanjay (K.I.S.S.)

BEGIN
  DELETE FROM TEST1;

  INSERT INTO TEST1 (empno,name)
    SELECT empno, name FROM EMPLOYEE;
END;

As you are running this from a Dynamic Action it will be running in a different database session to that of your page. If your page hasn't committed it's data, the session in your DA will not see that data.
Is there a particular reason you are doing this work through a DA and not through a process?

Dear AndyH
I am new to Oracle Apex and Learning , Can you please give me some tips , how to take such query from Process.
Its getting executed properly , but i don't know how to display the message once the Procedure Query will update the table . Can you please suggest.
