Downloading data from a BLOB Field using mod_plsql

Hi,
I am trying to use the mod_plsql to download data from a blob field, I have a web page where I can pick the file name to be downloaded from the documents table This table has the BLOB field that has the Data formatted in a text file format(contains carriage returns), when I open it up in the browser it is displaying it correctly , but when I right click on the file name and choose "Save Target As" and save it as text file it is ignoring the carriage returns and displaying entire blob in one line.
Can somebody help me figure out why it's not recognizing the carriage returns?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Is there a way to retrieve data from a blob field and save it to temp table.Why would you want to do that?
Can you provide some more details regarding your requirement?
(Don't forget to mention your database version as well)
Also, I wonder why you've added a 'decompress' tag to your question?
edit, after seeing Tubby's reply
Dang, the connection must be frozen here ;)

Extract Data from a Blob field

I have a BLOB type field in a Table. Now I would like to have a Pl/Sql code or C code which could read the data in the BLOB field which is in XML format. Actually the data in the BLOB a record and I would like to take only required data from the BLOB and insert into another Table

You might want to look at these OTN articles:
[list][*]Managing Web Content
[*]Customizing Content with XML
[list]
These apps use CLOBs instead of BLOBs to store XML documents, but they might give you some ideas.
Good luck,

Download Data from OBIEE to Excel using Macro (ODBC connection)

Hi,
We have OBIEE used as data source for reporting. Currently we manually go into OBIEE and download the report in Excel Format. However we want that to be automated by writing a macro and connecting directly do the DB and querying the data.

Can we download employee data from ECC to CRM using standard middleware?

HI,
Can we download employee data from ECC to CRM using standard middleware? If yes pl give me the procedure.(not using HR ALE/IDOC)
Thanks,
Regards,
PV

Standard replication for employee to CRM is using ALE.
BDoc send information for CRM for other business partner. If you want to use BDOC message for send employee to CRM, you should build your own BDOC message that read HCC Table and send this information to CRM.
However send this information using ALE is not difficult. Why don't you wan to use ALE?

What are the ways to download data from ods?

Hi all,
what are the ways to download data from ods?
1. se11/se12
2. listcube
3. infospokes.
Apart from the above 3 is there any other way to download data from my ods.
I need to download around 90 fields from my ods to a flat file. But listcube doesnt allow me to select all the fields. So i used se11 to download the data from my ods. bUt still se12 doesnt allow me to download all the 90 fields it downloads only 40 fields.
Can anyone suggest me how to select all the 90 fields and download it to an excel sheet.
thanxs
haritha

Hi Haritha,
Go to Tcode SE16, give your ODS active Table name and give width of output list as 1023.
Now run transaction to see your data and then click Settings --> User parameters and Select ALV Grid Display.
Now you should see and Excel Icon on top, click on it then select Table , then
Microsoft Excel and it will open your data with all columns you want.
I just tried for 213 columns
Hope this helps.
Thanks

I cannot display image (read from oracle BLOB field) on browser?

I cannot display image (read from oracle BLOB field) on browser?
Following is my code, someone can give me an advise?
content.htm:
<html>
<h1>this is a test .</h1>
<hr>
<img src="showcontent.jsp">
</html>showcontent.jsp:
<%@ page import="com.stsc.util.*" %>
<%@ include file="/html/base.jsp" %>
<%
     STDataSet data = new STDataSet();
//get blob field from database
     String sql = "SELECT NR FROM ZWTAB WHERE BZH='liqf004' AND ZJH='001'";
     //get the result from database
     ResultSet rs = data.getResult(sql,dbBase);
     if (rs!=null && rs.next()) {
          Blob myBlob = rs.getBlob("NR");
          response.setContentType("image/jpeg");//
          byte[] ba = myBlob.getBytes(1, (int)myBlob.length());
          response.getOutputStream().write(ba);
          response.getOutputStream().flush();
     // close your result set, statement
     data.close();
%>

Don't use jsp for that, use servlet. because the jsp engine will send a blank lines to outPutStream corresponding to <%@ ...> tags and other contents included in your /html/base.jsp file before sending the image. The result will not be treated as a valid image by the browser.
To test this, type directly showcontent.jsp on your browser, and view it source.

How to exctract data from a report to use it in a process

Hi! I would like to know how to exctract data from a report to use it in a process. Let's say that I have a report which have following fields: id_person, name_person. And then, I want to make a process which introduce the id_person (from report) into an associative tabel. How can I reffer to the fields from my report?
I was thinking about something like that( this should be the code from my process)
insert into associative_table(id_person)
values(id_person) or
insert into associative_table(id_person)
values(Report_name.id_person) but it doesn't work....
Thank you very much.

Another option, use collections.
Create an on load process that loads all the rows you would have in your report into a collection:
begin
HTMLDB_COLLECTION.CREATE_OR_TRUNCATE_COLLECTION(
p_collection_name => 'ASSIGNED_CALENDAR_CONTACTS' );
for x in (SELECT CONTACT_ID, CONTACT_FNAME, CONTACT_LNAME
FROM CONTACT
WHERE InStr( pkg_CalendarMgr.f_FetchContactIDsForDay( TO_DATE( :P3_CALENDAR_DT, 'YYYYMMDD' ), 'OF' ), CONTACT_ID ) > 0 )
loop
htmldb_collection.add_member(p_collection_name => 'ASSIGNED_CALENDAR_CONTACTS',
p_c001 => x.CONTACT_ID,
p_c002 => x.CONTACT_FNAME,
p_c003 => x.CONTACT_LNAME);
end loop;
end;
Then, instead of your report selecting from the table, have it select from the collection, this way your display will match what's in the collection:
SELECT c001, c002 || Chr(32) || c003 CONTACT_NAME, 'Remove' remove
FROM htmldb_collections
WHERE collection_name = 'ASSIGNED_CALENDAR_CONTACTS'
ORDER BY c003, c002
Then you can have a button on the form that steps through the collection, one element at a time and does whatever you want it to.

Apex.ajax.clob - retrieving data from a clob field

I have an application that uses a table that stores xml data, and the field in the table that stores the data is a clob. I used Carl Backstrom's example to build what I have so far, (God's blessings on his family). Here is the script I use to store the data from an HTML Editor into the database:
function clob_set(request){
var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('P59_CONTENT');
var clob_ob = new apex.ajax.clob(
function(){
var rs = p.readyState
if(rs == 1||rs == 2||rs == 3){
$x_Show('AjaxLoading');
}else if(rs == 4){
$x_Hide('AjaxLoading');
$s('P59_CONT', p.responseText);
doSubmit(request)
}else{return false;}
$x('P59_CONT').value = oEditor.GetHTML();
oEditor.SetHTML('');
if(!$v_IsEmpty('P59_CONT')){clob_ob._set($v('P59_CONT'))};
The submit calls a process that inserts the data from the clob001 field in the CLOB_CONTENT collection into my table.
How do I get the data out of the table again to present in the HTML Editor? Each option I use gets me into trouble with the 32k length limitation that is extant in Apex. What would be the best way to address this?

Inserting or retrieving a clob in the database is simple and can be done with a pl/sql process. It gets more more complex when the clob is large; I believe the limit is 32k? Larger than that and the HTTP process cannot manipulate the data stream.
The key to manipulating clobs successfully is through the use of collections, and javascript. In my case, I used the standard html editor item (fckeditor) to retrieve the data and present it on the page through the apex.ajax.clob javascript function. The clob_set method in the apex.ajax.clob function that I mention in the previous sections of this post calls the 'doSubmit(request)' that causes a pl/sql function to be fired that writes the clob to the database from the collection created by the clob_get method. The collection that the clob_get method creates is called 'CLOB_CONTENT', and can be accessed through the 'apex_collections' view through standard sql within APEX. In my case, the pull the 'clob001' field from the 'CLOB_CONTENT' collection after the clob_set method runs, and I insert the value from 'clob001' into the table I have created for storing the clob content. The clob_set pulls the data from the HTML editor (FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('P59_CONTENT')) through the GetHTML() method that is part of the FCKeditorAPI.
function clob_set(request){
var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('P59_CONTENT');
var clob_ob = new apex.ajax.clob(
function(){
var rs = p.readyState
if(rs == 1||rs == 2||rs == 3){
$x_Show('AjaxLoading');
}else if(rs == 4){
doSubmit(request);
$x_Hide('AjaxLoading');
}else{return false;}
var p_html = oEditor.GetHTML();
if (p_html){
clob_ob._set(p_html);
else {
p_html = ' '
clob_ob._set(p_html);
The clob_get method pulls the data from the 'CLOB_CONTENT' collection and puts it into the html editor item I have created, performing the process in reverse. The primary difference with reversing the process is that a pl/sql function is created that populates the clob001 field in the 'CLOB_CONTENT' collection prior to the clob_get function firing:
declare
l_clob clob:= empty_clob();
begin
if apex_collection.collection_exists(p_collection_name=>'CLOB_CONTENT') then
apex_collection.delete_collection(p_collection_name=>'CLOB_CONTENT');
end if;
apex_collection.create_or_truncate_collection(p_collection_name=>'CLOB_CONTENT');
dbms_lob.createtemporary( l_clob, false, dbms_lob.SESSION );
if trim(:P123_ID) <> 0 then
select
nvl (ltr,'There is no letter assigned.')
into
l_clob
from grant_tbl
where id = to_number(:P123_ID);
apex_collection.add_member(p_collection_name => 'CLOB_CONTENT'
,p_clob001 => l_clob
ELSE
apex_collection.add_member(p_collection_name => 'CLOB_CONTENT'
,p_clob001 => 'You must select an item to view its letter.');
end if;
end;
The clob_get function is below. Notice that the line "$s('P123_CONTENT',p.responseText);" is taking the output from the clob_get and setting the value of the P123_CONTENT page item (which is my standard html editor item) with the 'responseText'. the 'p' object and the 'responseText' method are built into the clob_get function when a 'new apex.ajax.clob' object is created. Confusing? Tell me about it!
function clob_get(){
var clob_ob = new apex.ajax.clob(
function(){
var rs = p.readyState
if(rs == 1||rs == 2||rs == 3){
null;
}else if(rs == 4){
$s('P123_CONTENT',p.responseText);
null;
}else{return false;}
clob_ob._get();
}

Hi,
Here is a small sample program to convert data in an internal table into XML format and display it.
DATA: itab TYPE TABLE OF spfli,
      l_xml TYPE REF TO cl_xml_document.
* Read data into a ITAB
SELECT * FROM spfli INTO TABLE itab.
* Create the XML Object
CREATE OBJECT l_xml.
* Convert data in ITAB to XML
CALL METHOD l_xml->create_with_data( name = 'Test1'
                                     dataobject = t_goal[] ).
* Display XML Document
CALL METHOD l_xml->display.
Here are some other sample SAP programs to handle XML in ABAP:
BCCIIXMLT1, BCCIIXMLT2, and BCCIIXMLT3.
Hope this helps,
