Display a blob column in a classic report

We are using Apex 4.0, and trying to display a blob on the report using: decode(nvl(dbms_lob.getlength(ci.photo),0),0,null,'<img src="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P2_PHOTO',ci.ci_nbr)||'" height="75" width="75" />') img. What appears on the report is:
<img src="apex_util.get_blob_file?a=101&s=4433607511119466&p=2&d=4632627567686552&i=6506227756338792&p_pk1=1202016&p_pk2=&p_ck=B45D690EDA38F565BB6AC2BC859E2F0F" height="75" width="75" />
I am following the example in apex.oracle.com, your help will be much appreciated.
David.

Thanks for the response Jeffe, I did change the attribute to standard report column and I think it is going the right direction but now I am a blank box with a smaller box in the upper left corner with a red x in the box. If you have any ideas about this one that would be great.

Problem with download link for a BLOB Column in a "Classic report"

I am having a problem where I cannot make a download link for a blob column function in a "classic" (non-interactive) report. I went through the tutorial on this topic and it was great help it working out the minor bugs, but I get a 404 error (apex_util.get_BLOB not found). For testing purposes I went ahead and created a an identical report on the same page that is an "Interactive report" and it works like a charm. Same query, same BLOB formatting Mask, pulling data from the same table. So, it really doesn't seem like an issue with the grants, since both reports should be executing as the same user.
I know it sounds like the obvious answer is to just go with the interactive report and my problem is solved, but the rest of this site uses classic reports, and I don't need the sort features of an interactive report, and the slightly different style of the the report really stands out even if I turn off all the bells and whistles. I don't want to change the css to make them look identical, I just want a regular report to work.

I eventually found another post: APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB was not found on this server
In this post there is the suggestion of putting "dbms_lob.getlength("var")" after the date field in your select. So I changed my query to have it at the end, and now my format mask (DOWNLOAD:table_name:ATTACHED_FILE:FILE_ID::FILE_MIME_TYPE:FILE_NAME:::attachment:Download) works like a charm, in a classic report.

Display a text as blinking in classical report

Hi experts,
I've to display a text as blinking in classical report output.
Is this possible? If possible, how to do this? Need your help.
With regards,
Goutam

hi goutam
I am assuming that you want the text as Static and not data from some sap table
For that
what you can do is add a png image which is blinking through OAER and call that in your report ..
Also did you try the Tcode DWDM .. ?
OR you could use RSDEMO_HTML_VIEWER ...
Hope this helps

Need to create link to Word Doc in blob column in search results report

I got the Oracle Text boolean search of word documents in a blob column of a table working.
Now I need to be able to create a link in the results report.
I know that Oracle creates a link for each document in the column when you attach a file, I just need to know what the link should be to allow users to open the document in the search results report.
Right now the application is set to do a search in the attached word documents, and in the results window it shows the names of the people who match the search, but it won't allow me to create a link to their resume in the results report.
the name of the table is CONTRACTOR_LIST and the blob column is RESUME.
How would you go about creating a simple link to the word file in the results window?
Here is the code for the query
select score(1) relevance, Name, Resume
from contractor_list
where CONTAINS (resume, :P1_SEARCH, 1) > 0
order by 1 desc
That works, but I can't get it to link to the resume file.
Here is the code I'm using for the link
javascript:popupURL("#RESUMEL#")
This just give me an error page and the the link is
http://server-namer:8080/apex/[datatype]
the error is
Bad Request
The HTTP client sent a request that this server could not understand.
Thanks again!

It is within the table I believe (I'm not a DBA or a developer) since I created a BLOB column and then used the file browse feature to allow users to attach a resume to the table in order to be able to perform a search of the attached documents.
I'm just having a hard time pointing the link in the search results report to the document in the blob column.
The information on that page is great if you're trying to create a link to the document on the initial report.
But I created a query using Oracle Text to run a report that does a boolean search of the attached word documents in the table.
When it displays the search results, it doesn't create a link to the document and I can't figure out how to do it.
Here's a link the the instructions I used to create the initial search report with Oracle Text, mind you I only created the index and query, I didn't add in all the link data since they're using documents on websites and I'm using documents in a table.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/pdf/apex_text_application_v1.6.pdf
If you can help me with this I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks again.

How to display a BLOB (Image) in a EBS Report?

User requested to add a Logo image to a report which is called from E-Business Suite (EBS).
The image is currently stores in a BLOB column.
How can I make the image to display on the report?
Thanks!

I was trying to use the BLOB and display the image in a report.
Per your suggestion:
"Select the column in your query.
Create an item in the layout editor and set the source to this column.
Set File Format to Image."
My question was I dont know how to "set the source to this column" as you described above.
So, to work around it, I moved the image file phyically to the UNIX file system.
Then, created an item in the layout editor which required a valid "image file path" the property palette.
Since, the report was created under windows, it did not validate with UNIX file path.
That's why i need to perform extra steps to get the file path correct to work in UNIX.
EDIT:
I guess when you said "set the source to this column", you mean to map the "Field source" attribute in the property palette to the database column from query.
But depends on what item you want me to create (I created a "Link File" item) and it does not have the "Field source" attribute available to map to a database column.

No data found when adding column link to classic report

Hi,
Oracle 11g r2, APEX 4.1.1.00.23.
I have some classic reports.
I go to Report Attributes, then I click Add Column Link in the "Tasks" right menu, it adds me a column link, I just add some text for the link and a page to go to.
Then I run the report and I get :
report error:

Debug mode shows me :

- Create a new Region of type Classic Report, then set Region source as :
begin
return test_return_query;
end;- Run the page, the report works as expected
- Go to Report Attributes and click Add Column Link (and just specify a text for the link and a page to go to).
- Run the page, you should get the error !This might be unorthodox but try wrapping your returned query within an SQL statement, like so:
   begin
      return 'SELECT t.* FROM ('||test_return_query||') t';
   end;
I can reproduce it on oracle.apex.com if needed...If my suggestion doesn't work, I think this might be the only option. You could create a new forum posting with the word "BUG" in the title, along with a link to this thread and the relevant workspace details (with guest developer credentials).

You dont need to write this code. just give '1' in the key to select porperty of the radio button.'
and create on label also for each radio button. three labels for three radio buttons.
and as you said if i create an attribute name flag type wdy_boolean and if i bind it readonly property of all radiobuttons.suppose if i select copy radiobutton remaining two will be disabled.
actually it will disable all the three radio buttons.
but in anycase your requirement is that user should not be able to select the other radio buttons once he has selected one.

How to print some text in BOLD in a classical report

Hi,
I need to print some selected text in BOLD in classical report.
Went through SDN forum...came across some suggestions like using class cl_dd_document and its functions..
The problem is that one of its function "add_text" allows to highlight text...but the display function "display_document" requires a container to display, whereas mine is a simple classical report...am i wrong somewhere..or is there any other method to do the same...
Thanks!!

Hi Deepti,
I am not sure that is possible on a classical report ntu you can use colors to highlight a part of the report output in order to check the various options you have with format is to check F1 on format.

How to display oracle BOLB column data forms

Hello Francois ,
I also want to display a BLOB column value on Oracle front-end (but this is oracle form 6i version)
I tried your below method but i was not able to make it work....
it displays the other details wen quired but not the blob data column
please help --- urget solution required
<<<<<<<
Create a block based on the table you have the BLOB image, then use an Image Item based on that BLOB column. All you have to do, then is an execute_query() instruction to populate the Image Item.
Francois

I'm not convince that the null pointer exception is coming from the database. Rather, whatever you wrote to package the result might be at fault. Regardless, typically, to avoid the web container swallowing an exception is to catch it yourself. Your database call will need to catch the exception and repackage it for the JSP. A bad style would be to use scriptlet and catch the exception, but it could be useful for debugging.
