Any alternative to handling photo other than BLOB??

I have an APEX application on Employees information. I have seen from this forum how alot of the photos are being loaded into the database as BLOB.
However, I was wondering if there's an alternative - maybe have a directory on the server where the database points to but yet able to project on APEX reports. Is this possible?
I am not sure what terms should I be searching in the forum. Hence, I appreciate all kinds of suggestion or guidelines I may get. I'm a newbie; therefore an example on how to set up the whole thing would be great.
Thanks.

You can put them on any webserver. Ie. if you have a server called batman and in the root dir you have a folder called images. You can simply but an html link to those images
<img src="http://www.batman.com/images/myimage.jpg" /> You can also put images in the htdocs of your apex web server if you are using a web server instead of the internal gateway. ie. if you have a folder in the apex install call images you can just access them like
<img src="/images/myimage.jpg" />

  • Are there any apps for managing photos other than iphoto

    I do not find iphoto to be a particularly intuitive or user friendly app to manage photos with.  Are there any other options?

    What is your complaint about iPhoto? What are you having problems with?  Have you perused the tutorials on iPhoto:
    Apple - iPhoto for Mac
    Mac Apps - iPhoto - Apple Support
    What features do you want in a photo management applications.  There are many, many image management apps for Mac available:
    Lightroom
    Aperture
    IMatch 5
    Stock Keeper
    Photo Explorer
    Shoebox Express
    Shoebox Pro
    Picasa
    JetPhoto Studio
    myPhotos
    photo 1.5.1
    Photo Supreme
    MediaDex
    EzyPic Photo Organizer
    Daminion
    Photonator
    iMatch
    uAlbum
    All have different features so you'll need to determine what's important to you and do some research.  I don't think any are as easy to use as iPhoto, particularly with a Mac.

  • Are there any alternatives to getting support other than chat or phone? Phone wait is 1  hour and chat keeps on failing - started 4 separate chats with different people and still don't have my issue resolved

    Any others that have had these issues? I have been very close to resolving my issues with a serial number but everytime I get close to the solution my chat session gets interrupted - even though I am on a very reliable, fast internet connection. Tried to call but the average wait time is 1 - 1.5 hr..

    I first blamed it on the wireless and moved to an ethernet connection, which is high speed and very reliable. Then I changed browsers. I didn't allow for any inactive time between replies, but the customer service reps took their time. I have the transcripts that show that I repeatedly asked "are you still there" to ensure I wouldn't loose the connection - but I still did loose it. I tried to call, wait time 1-2 hrs - I think they simply are overloaded.

  • I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck.

    I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck. Is anyone else having this problem please?

    I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes.  Now it's dad and husband, every time!  Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails. 
    And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered".  So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point.  I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions.  (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck.  I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)

    I wanted to know how to view the gifts I've sent to people and (if possible) know if they received and downloaded them. Is there any way to do that, other than asking the person?

  • After using iMatch, I have duplicate music.  Is there any way to remove duplicates other than manually?  Thx

    Hi Jim,  I don't understand how this would help me in my situation.  I loaded an old project, selected the clip edits that I needed, and then loaded the new project and pasted those edits into it, thus creating a duplicate multi-cam sequence.
    Are you saying that before I paste, if I navigate to the old project in the media browser and import the multi-cam sequence into my project, Premiere will merge that with the exact same multi-cam sequence in my new project so that when I paste it won't create a duplicate?

    THanks all i have resolved the problem.
    The below links explains you what is the problem and how to solve it clearly.
    http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/HTTPCharset/
    Problem :
    The characters which are in the feed are UTF-8 encoded characters ,
    where as by default the tomcat server assume that all the characters are encoded in ISO-8859-1
    as the result Tomcat is trying to read the characters in the feed (which are UTF-8 encoded) in ISO-8859-1 encoded format because of which it could not able to print the international character's.
    How to resolve?
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    we need to say to the java servlet that those characters are UTF-8 and are not the default ISO encoded
    How to say?
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    URL ffeedurl = new URL(feedurl);
              HttpURLConnection.setFollowRedirects(true);
              URLConnection connection = ffeedurl.openConnection();
    HttpURLConnection httpConnection = (HttpURLConnection) connection;
    Please observe the below line the second argument of InputStreamReader constructor ....................it is UTF-8
    which say to the servlet that characters retrieved from the URL are UTF-8 Encoded are not encoded in the default ISO format
    InputStreamReader defaultReader = new InputStreamReader(httpConnection.getInputStream(),"UTF-8");
    That's it. in adddition to that you need to take care of the below things.
    1) mysql connection should be as below
    jdbc:mysql://localhost/databasename?useEncoding=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8
    instead of
    jdbc:mysql://localhost/databasename
    2) in mysql database , each table , each text/varchar column should be of UTF-8-general-ci
    3) if you are using log4j and want ot see the UTF-8 characters in the log messages you should add the below param to each appender
    <param name="Encoding" value="UTF-8"/> (i don't know even after setting this i couldnot able to see the characters properly in log file/console)
    4 ) important links which talks about this problem and solution:

    I've not seen any reports indicating any issues with other apps either. I would strongly echo Larry's comments about App Store reviews, and reviews on download sites and forums up and down the internet. The great thing about the internet is that everyone has an opinion, that might also be the worst thing.
    The problems with these comments are manifold: for a start, happy people are less likely to review, unhappy happy are much more inclined to. That's why we don't have thousands and thousands of posts on this forum from all the people who have no problems saying "look I have no problems". Unhappy people get cross and are more likely to express that anger in negative reviews.
    Then what about the reviewer? What is his or her knowledge, experience and skill level? No doubt they are having problems, and real ones, but how do you know if their issues are problems with the app, their own inexperience, third party conflicts and so on. I've seen people on here claim the fact that iPhoto won't edit video is a bug. I've seen hundreds and hundreds of posts from folks on here who are certain they've found a bug, only for their glitch to be resolved. No review is worth anything unless you know something of the reviewer, his or her knowledge and experience.
    So frankly, I never bother with those reviews on any such stores, not just iPhoto on the Mac App Store.

  • Is there any other way to purchase photos other than one at a time?

    Hi everyone!
    I love aperture, and would like to purchase some photos...whenever I click file>order prints, I'm led to order a SINGLE PRINT for just that photo. Does aperture offer like a shopping cart method, where I can check out all at once? i ask this not only for convenience, but also to save money on shipping; it would charge me 2.99 per photo when I could just as easily put em all in the same shipment.
    thanks!

  • Stacks in LR5 will not expand, and I can't seem to select any photo other than the top of the stack.

    Since upgrading to LR5, I've been really frustrated by stacks. When I export to jpg, I add it to the library, and add it to a stack with the raw. In LR4, it was easy to select either of these files, since they were side-by-side in the library, but with a visible indication that they were linked. Now, choosing expand stack does exactly... nothing. As far as I can tell, I can either select the very top photo of the stack by clicking on it, or all files in the stack by clicking on the little 1 of X box on the stack, but I have no way of selecting individual files in a stack.

    Your email provider has blocked the standard mail port 25 for sending emails and is requiring a different port. This is to avoid mail relays that use mail clients to send spam. You need to find the port that is used by your provider for sending outgoing mail. Then change the settings in your email account on your phone to match the port. You will also have to provide some security credentials for the account.
    You can also try deleting the email account from your iphone, and the adding the email account back as this will many times set the correct port for sending emails.
    You could also do a Google search on the the settings for your device with your email provider. That will provide you with the proper settings.
