Need to Move contents of BLOB from database to middle-tier file system

I need to be able to move the contents of a BLOB (which is a PDF file) from the database to a specified location in the middle-tier file system (running 9iAS). There does not seem to be the equivalent package or other built-in functionality to DBMS_LOB (for moving INTO the database, which is amazing. Does anyone have a java bean or (?) which can accomplish this simingly simple task??

The java bean should work to extract from the database to a binary file on either Unix or Windows. As long as the file is in .bmp format in the database, you can save the file as .bmp on you file system and everything should be alright.
Or, perhaps, am I not understanding your question?
Good Luck

How do I reorganize my photos on iPad 2? I need to move (not copy) photos from one album to another. When I use the copy function to another album, and then try to delete an image from the original album, the system wants to delete the photos from all albums. Please help.

You can't do it directly on the iPad - the new album functionality basically only allows you to copy photos into those new albums, you can't move them. The way that I think of it as working is that you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you then delete the original photo on the iPad you therefore automatically delete all the pointers to it.
If you want to re-organise your albums then you will need to do it on your computer and then sync those albums over to the iPad

Its best to move your entire iTunes library over a FW connection or network.

I need your help, PLEASE. How can to fix "NO MOUNTABLE FILE SYSTEM" error of my back up hard drive on Mountain Lion OS?

Did you format the drive for Mac use before you tried to use it as a backup drive?
Are you using Time Machine on the drive? You can't view the contents of its backup database and the only way to access the info is directly from the Time Machine app.

Moving spfile from non-asm to asm file system

Hi All
We are migrating non-asm file system to asm file system, we are held up in moving the spfile from non-asm file system to asm file system ...
we tried the below method
Recreate SPFILE on ASM diskgroup
SQL> create pfile='c:\initTEST.ora' from spfile;
File created.
SQL> create spfile='+DGRP2/spfileTEST.ora' from pfile='c:\initTEST.ora';
File created.
after this we started both the running instance and asm instance
but after starting the instance TEST we saw the instance still using spfile of non-asm file system
what is the correct way of moving the spfile from non-asm to asm file system..
Regards
Hariharan.T

You need to perform this first:
First rename the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfileTEST.ora to spfileTEST.ora_old
create initTEST.ora in dbs location with below contents:
Also i recommend you to recreate the spfile in ASM as it might not be in good shape.
When ever you start the oracle instance there is a specific order to find the oracle pfile/spfile
1. O_H/dbs/spfile<SID>.ora
2. O_H/dbs/init<SID>.ora
3. O_H/dbs/spfile.ora
4. O_H/dbs/init.ora
in your case instance always finds spfileTEST.ora in dbs location (non -ASM) and will stop looking further. If you remove it our of the way it will find initTEST.ora which will redirect to spfile present in ASM.
NOTE: As per your earlier update you created spfile in ASM after puttin spfile='+DG...' in the initTEST.ora..
If you start the instance with this SPFILE you will be getting "maxmimum cursors limit exceeded" error.

Open a pdf from a buffered stream versus file system?

With the PDF Library SDK is it possible to open a pdf from a stream versus the file system?

Yes, but not trivially. You would have to implement your own
ASFileSys, which is a method for accessing "files". This is a
collection of methods, rather like an object oriented class, but in C.
You would have to support get, put, open, random access, file naming
etc.

How to show in a report a pdf blob from database

Hi all
We are working on report 6i and report 10. We have a report wich needs to show a blob field from database that storages a pdf (type application/pdf). OLE2 is deprecated. The pdf blob field must be displayed in a preview and must be printed. In local, it works. When it works on a browser, the pdf blob field is missing. If we load the field into a pdf file, the field is not visible in the browser.
Do not get it to work. How I can implement? Could you give us any example for this?

In local, it works. What do you mean by that exactly? You see the pdf in Reports Builder?
If you just want to show the pdf in a browser (not embedded in a report) it is easy to use mod_plsql. You can have a simple db procedure like this to show any kind of blob:
procedure show_webdoc(io_blob    in out nocopy blob
                     ,i_mimetype in varchar2
                     ,i_filename in varchar2)
is
begin
   if dbms_lob.getlength(io_blob) >0 then
      owa_util.mime_header(nvl(i_mimetype,'application/octet'),false);
      htp.p('Content-length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(io_blob));
      htp.p('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="'||i_filename|| '"');
      owa_util.http_header_close;
      wpg_docload.download_file(io_blob);
   end if;
end show_webdoc;

Dowload blobs from Database

I know this is not the best way to store files but I have inherited an old php script which I am converting to CF because php is useless.
Now i have a script to do this in php but can this be achived with CF? It is just a quick fix until I have time to rework the CMS
<?php
if(isset($_GET['id']))
// if id is set then get the file with the id from database
$id    = $_GET['id'];
$query = "SELECT name, type, size, content " .
         "FROM upload WHERE id = '$id'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed');
list($name, $type, $size, $content) =                                  mysql_fetch_array($result);
header("Content-length: $size");
header("Content-type: $type");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name");
echo $content;
i
exit;
?>

My php experience is NILL, but applying basic coding experience I believe your CFML will be close to this.
<cfif structKeyExists(url,"id")>
<cfquery datasource="..." name="result">
    SELECT name,type,size,content
    FROM upload
    WHERE id = <cfqueryparam value="#url.id#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer">
</cfquery>
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition: atachment; filename=#result.name#">
<cfcontent type="#result.type#" reset="yes">
#result.content#
</cfif>
If any of this content can be binary, then you may also need to use one or more of the toBinary() toBase64(), isBinary(), binaryDecode() or other relevant functions.

Getting blobs from databases

Hi!
Im trying to get a blob from a database and write it to a file, but I just can't get the Blob value, I just recieve the adress. I've tried InputStream and getBytes but none of them does what I want. getBytes where closest but because it requires two inparameters (long pos, int length) and blob.length gives an long i can't figure out how many bytes to get. Anyone got any sugestions?

Agrawal.
I've read through both those pages (even thou i've already managed to make the connection to mysql) and I still can't work around my problem. the method getBytes(), requires two parameters, one that tells it where to start reading and one telling it how long it should read. If I leave one out it will inevitable lead to problems. So I still need to figure out a way to get the length of the blob in a int to make this work. but since the blob.length() method returns a long wich I can't convert I'm stuck!

HELP! Need help in restoring APEX application from database backup

I accidentally deleted many pages from my development APEX environment when I thought I was deleting from QA. By the time I discovered it, it was too late to do a flash back. The DBQ I am working with is now trying to recover from a database backup, but we are not having much success. Can someone point me to any documentation that may exist on exactly what to restore from what schemas? It is not intuitively obvious what should be extracted and restored? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I have older exports, but I would loose 2 weeks of work by going back to them. I need to be able to restore from a database backup so I get back my changes. What we tried to restore didn't bring back the deleted pages so we must have done something wrong.

Need to move pages and sections from one doc to another

I have a long document loaded with graphics. I need to repurpose pages and sections from that document and use them in another document.
How do I move a section or page from one to another. A simple copy and paste doesn't seem to be the answer since it copies only the text, not the illustrations and format.
Also, it would help if I could unlock sections - is that possible and how do I do it?

You will have to do it manually, but you can do it whole sections at a time. Open your files & show thumbnails. Sections have a yellow border around all of the pages in that section. Now click on the page in the thumbnail pane & copy. If the file is more than one page & you only want one, you'll need to insert a section break to separate the pages. Then go to your other file & paste. The whole copied page will be pasted in. I found that pasting in the body of the target document only pasted the text but, if I clicked in the thumbnail area of the target document & pasted, I got both text & graphics. Repeat with another section. Styles will copy over with the sections but headers & footers will not.

New MacBook Pro (first Mac). I need to move my itunes library from my pc to a networked external hd (wd passport for mac). I have an ipod with all my media (including video) and i have itunes match. What is the best way to do this? PC to Mac HD ...

I need to move my itunes library from a pc to a laptop in a different home, can I do this? help!

I had set up my original itunes library on a pc in my previous home. I have left this home due to a marriage split up and now live somewhere else.
I have a new lap top which I am desperate to update my ipod nano on.
I have set up home sharing, and authorised my laptop. Unfortunately, I no techno whizz, and I'm really struggling now with this.
I have plugged in my nano to my itunes on my lap top and it is offering to either delete everything off my nano for what is held on as purchased songs from itunes - a total of approx 30 songs, from approx 1400 songs on my nano, or just update to show my purchased songs.
Help!! I'm getting to the end of my tether with this. Yes, I have read the tutorials and help through itunes.
Nothing is making sense or working.
Can someone please explain this to me like I'm a 3 year old?
I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me!!
Thank you!!
