Bug in version 11.0.3.1770: SQL window grid "List-of-values" (foreign key) does not always work

[Claus Pedersen]

I have a table with a foreign key to another table (e.g. scott/tiger emp with foreign key to dept.dept_no) and edit the table data in the SQL window grid. I have (amongst others) the values 1, 11, 40, 41 in the list of department numbers.

In a new record, I use the dropdown to show the list. I want to select 41 and first type "4" on the keyboard. The list shifts to the row with 40. I then press "1" and the lists shifts to 41. I press Enter to select this value. This works as expected.

Now, again on a new record, I want to select 10. I open the list and press "1", the list shifts to 1. If I press "0" to shift to 10, the list stays on 1 and if I press Enter, the value 10 in the field is replaced by 1, because the list was not updated.

This can not be by design, so it must be fixed.

I cannot immediately reproduce this, but we'll check it out.

How to reproduce: Run the following script on e.g. the Scott/Tiger schema (ignore SQL warnings if e.g. the tables or the rows already exist):

create table DEPT (
  deptno NUMBER(2) NOT NULL,
  dname  VARCHAR2(14),
  loc    VARCHAR2(13));

alter table DEPT add constraint DEPT_PK primary key (DEPTNO)

insert into DEPT (DEPTNO, DNAME, LOC) values (1, 'Test Dept. 1', 'Berlin');
insert into DEPT (DEPTNO, DNAME, LOC) values (10, 'ACCOUNTING', 'NEW YORK');
insert into DEPT (DEPTNO, DNAME, LOC) values (11, 'Test Dept. 11', 'Kassel');
insert into DEPT (DEPTNO, DNAME, LOC) values (20, 'RESEARCH', 'DALLAS');
insert into DEPT (DEPTNO, DNAME, LOC) values (30, 'SALES', 'CHICAGO');
insert into DEPT (DEPTNO, DNAME, LOC) values (40, 'OPERATIONS', 'BOSTON');
insert into DEPT (DEPTNO, DNAME, LOC) values (41, 'Test Dept. 41', 'Hamburg');
insert into DEPT (DEPTNO, DNAME, LOC) values (42, 'Test Dept. 42', 'Frankfurt');

create table EMP (
  empno    NUMBER(4) not null,
  ename    VARCHAR2(10),
  job      VARCHAR2(9),
  mgr      NUMBER(4),
  hiredate DATE,
  sal      NUMBER(7,2),
  comm     NUMBER(7,2),
  deptno   NUMBER(2));

alter table EMP add constraint EMP_PK primary key (EMPNO);

alter table EMP add constraint EMP_FK_DEPT foreign key (DEPTNO) references DEPT (DEPTNO);

insert into EMP (EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, MGR, HIREDATE, SAL, COMM, DEPTNO) values (7369, 'SMITH', 'CLERK', 7902, to_date('17-12-1980', 'dd-mm-yyyy'), 800.00, null, 10);
insert into EMP (EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, MGR, HIREDATE, SAL, COMM, DEPTNO) values (7499, 'ALLEN', 'SALESMAN', 7698, to_date('20-02-1981', 'dd-mm-yyyy'), 1600.00, 300.00, 30);
insert into EMP (EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, MGR, HIREDATE, SAL, COMM, DEPTNO) values (7521, 'WARD', 'SALESMAN', 7698, to_date('22-02-1981', 'dd-mm-yyyy'), 1250.00, 500.00, 30);

Then try to edit data from table EMP and use the drop-down on column DEPTNO and select 10 or 11 by typing the numbers and pressing Enter. Only 1 is selected. If you type 40 or 41, the correct department is selected.

The 10 and 11 items are indeed not selected. We'll fix it.

Not fixed in ver. 11.0.4
