How to load an image into blob in a custom form

Hi all!
is there some docs or how to, load am image into a database blob in a custom apps form.
The general idea is that the user has to browse the local machine find the image, and load the image in a database blob and also in the custom form and then finally saving the image as blob.
Thanks in advance
Soni

If this helps:
Re: Custom form: Take a file name input from user.
Thanks

this is the code for download
create or replace PROCEDURE download_my_file(p_file in number) AS

How to Load an image into buffered image then drawString()?

HELP , i need to load image for the background called noise.png
I want to load the noise.png as the background of the new generated image .
How suppose that i can do that ?
This is my code with a Black color background
public static String createViverificationImageAtPath(String path,int width, int height) throws IOException {
        String out = "";
        java.awt.image.BufferedImage bi = new java.awt.image.BufferedImage(width,height,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
        bi.setRGB();
        String viver = (int)((float)Math.random() * 100000) + "";
        viver = generate.getRandomRomanLetter(false) + viver + generate.getRandomRomanLetter(false);
        Graphics2D g2d = bi.createGraphics();
       // g2d.setColor(Color.blue);
        g2d.setBackground(Color.yellow);
        g2d.drawString(viver,3,height - 5);
        g2d.drawLine(0,height,width,0);
        ImageIO.write(bi,"jpeg",new File(path));
        return viver;
    }

ImageIO.load()
you know, the opposite of save?

Loading Images into BLOB.

I have written pl/sql code for mass load of images into blob. When user is trying to access it from front end. some of the images are corrupted. means blank page is displayed but for other the actual image is displayed. So is there any size limitation on blob images???mostly images i am storing is of 20kb - 300kb.
Thanks in advance.

There is a definite limit to the size of blobs you can store. That limit is (4GB-1 byte)*(block size) which means between 8 and 128TB.
I highly doubt your issue is storing the BLOBs in the Oracle database though since you thought it unimportant to post version information, DDL, or DML no one can possibly tell for sure.
I would be far more suspicious of whatever tool, also unmentioned, being used to retrieve and display them.

I know your original pl/sql routine contained a COMMIT, but did you use the same code with the COMMIT? If not, are you checking the table from a different session?
I ran your same code and it worked without issues. Are saying if you do a SELECT COUNT(*) from test007 it returns zero rows?

Loading an image into an Applet from a JAR file

Hello everyone, hopefully a simple question for someone to help me with!
Im trying to load some images into an applet, currently it uses the JApplet.getImage(url) method just before registering with a media tracker, which works but for the sake of efficiency I would prefer the images all to be contained in the jar file as oppossed to being loaded individually from the server.
Say I have a class in a package eg, 'com.mydomain.myapplet.class.bin' and an images contained in the file structure 'com.mydomain.myapplet.images.img.gif' how do I load it (and waiting for it to be loaded before preceeding?
I've seen lots of info of the web for this but much of it is very old (pre 2000) and im sure things have changed a little since then.
Thanks for any help!

I don't touch applets, so I can't help you there, but here's some Friday Fun: tracking image loading.

Fastest way to load an image into memory

hi, ive posted before but i was kinda vague and didnt get much of a response so im going into detail this time. im making a java program that is going to contol 2 robots in a soccer competition. ive decided that i want to go all out and use a webcam instead of the usual array of sensors so the first step is to load an image into the memory. (ill work on the webcam once ive got something substanical, lol) since these robots have to be rather small (21cm in diameter) i can only use some pretty crappy processors. the robots are going to be both running gentoo linux on a 600 mhz processor, therefore it is absoleutely vital i have a fast method of loading and analyzing images. i need to be able to both load the image quickly, and more importainly analyze it quickly. ive looked at pixelgrabber which looks good, but ive read several things about javas image handling beging crap. these articles are a few years old, and im therefore wonding if there anything from the JAI that will do this for me. thx in advance.

well i found out why i was having so much trouble
installing JAI. im now back on windows and i cant
stand it, so hopefully the bug will be fixed soon. oIt's not so bad. I mean, that's why we love Java! Once your linux problem is fixed you can just transfer your code there as is.
well. i like the looks of JAI.create() but im not so
sure how to use it. at this stage im tying to load an
image from a file. i no to do this with pixelgrabber
you use getcodebase(), but i dont know how to do it
with JAI.create. any advice is appreciated. thx.Here are some example statements for handling a JAI image. There are other ways, I'm sure, but I've no idea which are faster, sorry. But this is quite fast on my machine.
PlanarImage pi = JAI.create("fileload", imgFilename);
WritableRaster wr = Raster.createWritableRaster(pi.getSampleModel(), null);
int width = pi.getWidth(); // in case you need to loop through the image
int height = pi.getHeight();
wr = pi.copyData(); // copy data from the planar image to the writable one
wr.getPixel(w,h,pixel); // pixel is an int array with three elements.
int red = pixel[0]; // to find out what's the red component
int[] otherPixel = {0,0,0}
wr.setPixel(w,h,otherPixel); // make pixel at location (w,h) black. And here's a link with sample code using JAI. I've tried several of the programs there and they work.

How to load a image after getting it with a file chooser?

I'm still starting with JavaFX, and I simply would like to know how to load the image (e.g. png or jpg) that I selected using a FileChooser in the user interface. I can access the file normally within the code, but I'm still lost about how to load it appropriately. Every time I select a new image using the FileChooser, I should discard the previous one and consider the new one. My code is shown below:
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;
import javafx.scene.image.Image;
var chooser: JFileChooser = new JFileChooser();
var image;
Stage {
    title: "Image"
    scene: Scene {
        width: 950
        height: 500
        content: [
            HBox {
                layoutX: 670
                layoutY: 18
                spacing: 10
                content: [
                    Button {
                        text: "Open"
                        action: function() {
                            if (JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION == chooser.showOpenDialog(null)) {
                                var imageFile = chooser.getSelectedFile();
                                println("{imageFile.getCanonicalFile()}");
                                image = Image{
                                    width: 640
                                    url:imageFile.getAbsolutePath()
            // Image area
            Rectangle {
                x: 10
                y: 10
                width: 640
                height: 480
                fill: Color.WHITE
            ImageView {
                x: 10
                y: 10
                image: bind image
}Thank you in advance for any suggestion to make it work. :)

As its name implies, the url param expect... an URL, not a file path!
So, use {color:#8000FF}url: imageFile.toURI().toURL(){color} instead.

Step- by- Step on How to Load Excel data into Crystal Reports?

Hi Friends,
Can anyone send me a Step- by- Step on How to Load Excel data into Crystal Reports? Pls help me. Thanks in Advance.
Vijay

It's also important to 'prep' the excel file prior to connecting to it.
Give the data tab a meaningful name
Make sure the column headers are unique and that every column has a header
Delete any blank tabs
If you have trouble with Excel changing the data type of a field (say, a social security number you want to be a string value rather than a number so you don't lose leading zero) an alternative would be to save the spreadsheet file as a CSV, create a schema.ini to specify the data types for each column (example below) and use the same steps to connect except instead of choosing Excel 8.0, scroll to the bottom and choose Text. You have to make sure the CSV file is in the same folder as the schema.ini file that defines the columns.
Schema.ini example:
200912PUSD.csv
ColNameHeader=True
Format=CSVDelimited
MaxScanRows=25
CharacterSet=OEM
Col1=SSN Char Width 9
Col2=LAST_NM Char Width 25
Col3=FIRST_NM Char Width 25
Col4=DOB Date
Col5=STDNT_ID Char Width 10
Col6=SORTKEY Char Width 10
Col7=SCHOOL_NM Char Width 30
Col8=OTHER_ID Integer
Col9=GRADE Char Width 2
The filename in the first line needs to have the [] brackets around it, but I couldn't get it to display in this forum correctly.

How to load oracle data into SQL SERVER 2000?

how to load oracle data into SQL SERVER 2000.
IS THERE ANY UTILITY AVAILABLE?

Not a concern for an Oracle forum.

How to convert jpeg images into video file of any ext using JMF

I want to convert the Jpeg files into video clip with the help of JMF
any one can help me?
Plz reply me at [email protected]
or [email protected]

I'm not sure of his/her reasoning behind this, but I have yet to find a way to record video with mmapi on j2me. So with that restriction, I can see how one could make it so that it just records a lot of jpegs, and then makes it a movie.
I would be interested finding a workaround for this too. Either if someone would explain how to record video with mmapi or how to make recorded images into a video. Thanks!

I cannot seem to load raw images into LR 2.5. I've been using this for years. I always load from memory card, but it gives me an unknown error message. I tried to load from camera, hard drive, & external drive and still will not work. I checked import menu and nothing has changed. I loaded the photos onto my tablet and images are fine, so do not feel it is the memory card. Any thoughts?

The error message probably said "unsupported or damaged"
The T3 requires Lightroom 3.4.1 or later. You can either upgrade to a more current version of Lightroom (version 5.6 is the most recent) or you can use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert the RAWs to DNG, which should import into Lightroom properly.

*** Question How to load a file into BI-Integrated Planning and use WAD 7.0

Hi, I created an manual DTP upload to my planning infocube and it works fine. The transformation rules convert 0CALMONTH into the relevant Calendar and Fiscal characteristics. So all of my Time Characteristics are fine, both Calendar and Fiscal.
However, When using the "How to load a file into BI-Integrated Planning and use WAD 7.0" solution, only the Calendar Characteristics are populated and not the Fiscal. The upload application somehow knows to populate the 0CALMONTH2, 0CALQUART1, 0CALQUARTER, and 0CALYEAR.
How can I get the upload to populate my Fiscal Period Characteristics?
Would it be best to modify the "Upload Application, or can I write a planning function to update the fiscal characteristics, or some other way?

even when there're only about 8 image files in the collection (total size 2,51MB).
I've seen other people's software that could load hundreds of photos in a matter of seconds! How do I suppose to do that? How to load mutiple images efficiently? Please help!! Thanks a lot!

Thanks everybody! I appreciate your help! I don't understand why but when I use a separate thread to do the job, that problem disappear. You were likely doing your image loading and thumnail creation on the Event Dispatching Thread. Among other things, this is the same thread that updates and paints your panels, frames, buttons, ect.. When a programer does something computationaly expensive on the event dispatching thread then the GUI becomes unresponsive until the computation is done.
Ideally what you want to do is load images and create thumnails on a seperate thread and update your GUI on the event dispatching thread. I supect that while you are finally doing the first item, you might now be violating the second item.
Whatever, the program seems to be pretty slow on start up 'cause it have to reload images everytime. I'm using Picasa and it can display those thumbnails almost instantly. I know that program is made by professionals. But I still want to know how.I took a look at this Picasa you mentioned. It's the photo manager from google right? You're right in that the thumnails display instantly when starting up. This is because Picasa is actually saving the thumnails, instead of creating them everytime the program starts up. It only creates the thumnails once (when you import a picture) and saves the thumnail data to " +*currentUser*+ /AppData/Local/Google/Picasa2/db3/" (at least on my computer --> Vista).
Also, if your looking for speed then for some inexplicable reason java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(...); is faster (sometimes much faster) than ImageIO.read(...). But there comes a price in dealing with Toolkit images. A toolkit image isn't ready for anything until it has been properly 'loaded' using one of several methods. Also, when you're done and ready for the image to be garbage collected then you need to call Image.flush() or you will eventually find yourself with an out of memory error (BufferedImages don't have this problem). Lastly, Toolkit.createImage(...) can only read image files that the older versions of java supported (jpg, png, gif, bmp) .
And, another question (or maybe I should post it in a different thread?), I can't display all thumbnails using a JPanel because it has a constant height unless I explicitly set it with setPreferredSize. Even when put in a JScrollPane, the height doesn't change so the scrollbar doesn't appear. Anyone know how to auto grow or shrink a JPanel vertically? Or I have to calculate the preferred height by myself?Are you drawing the thumnails directly on the JPanel? If so then you will indeed need to dynamically set the preferred size of the component.
If not, then presumebly your wrapping the thumnails in something like a JLabel or JButton and adding that to the panel. If so, what is the layout manager you're using for the panel?
