Associating APP_USER with file stored in database

I'm using APEX 3.0 with 10g database. I have an invoice report that references the APP_USER as the person who generated the invoice, and his or her name appears at the bottom of the invoice. I need a way to associate the person who is the APP_USER with a .pdf signature file, so the person who generates the invoice is "signing-off" on it, and then can email the invoice to the customer with this signature at the bottom. Is there a way to provide logic between the BI Publisher report and the application/database so each APP_USER is associated with an assigned .pdf signature file?

Hello,
If you include session state information, in the xml that is send to BI Publisher the APP_USER is included.
So in your BIP Word template (rtf) you can include the APP_USER field.

Dimitri

Access forms File stored in database

Can any body help in this
Call_Form('i:\test\fmb\entgrp');
here entgrp is the FMX file stored in Server which is mapped to i:
1 Now if i want to use this call_form
to call the file stored in database what is the syntax
2 and How to invoke this file from desktop using f45run
3 The File Stored in Databse like this is fmb or fmx
Thanks in Advance

When you save a Form to the database it is the FMB that you save and not the FMX. So you'll need to have the FMX on a file system and call it from there.
f45run recieves parameters such as userid=scott/tiger module=a.fmx
Check out the help to see the full list.
(P.S. Isn't it time you upgraded to a newer version of Forms?)

Sound file storing in Database & accessing these files

Hi Friends
i have working on the project of Sound Recognization system
the requirement is that sound should be passed through mike input device & that sound should be stored in to database along with the user & password
for recognization & identification of user
But problem in storing the sound files in the database so how can i store the files into the database so please guide me.

brad103 wrote:
In my particular application, I process the byte array from the TargetDataLine. Then I save this to a db using new ByteArrayInputStream(soundData), soundData.length); where soundData is my byte[].
Am I correct that this will save the data in the relevant format (eg PCM_SIGNED, 8k, 16bit, etc), but the header information is not included? That's correct. Essentially, in JavaSound, that data has an associated "Format" object that was part of the line the data came from, would need to be given to any line the data was going to...and that format object is essentially a container for all of the header data...
And if so, then if I control the saving and retrieval then I can omit that step anyway as I know the format?You can omit the AudioSystem.write step and store the byte[] directly into the database...as long as you're capable of, as above, recreating the Format object that was originally associated with the data.
And my next question (digressing slightly, sorry umeshS), is that when using the tritonus gsm library and converting from above format to gsm, should I be using AudioSystem.write to write to an outputstream prior to calling AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(targetEncoding, originalAIS) to convert encodings?AudioSystem.write adds the file header to the stream, and that's all. If you're using a "stream", you have to have the Format object in order to create an AudioInputStream, so there's no need to add the file header (and the file header will screw things up if you're not using the File or URL versions of getAudioInputStream)...
So, as a giant summary...
AudioSystem.write adds a file header, which will include format information. This should only be used if you're planning on using AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(File f) to read the file the next time.
Otherwise, just save the data and the Format object associated with the data, so you can read it all back in later by building an AudioInputStream around your favorite IO stream.
And in retrospect, after explaining all of that...umeshS, the problem with the way you're doing it is that when you copy the file into the database, you're copying the file header. And then, because you're not using the "File" version of AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream, the system isn't handling the file header being there correctly.
You need to copy things into the database by creating an audioinputstream of your file, and then saving out the raw byte[] data. You can just call "read" on the ais a bunch of times and throw the results into your stream. Then, you can play it by pulling the data out of the database via a stream, and playing that stream by throwing it back into an AudioInputStream.

View file stored in Database in client machine

Hi,
I am using oralce forms Release 10.2.0.1.0 .
In my application , files (.xls,.pdf,doc,gif etc) will be stored in Database table as BLOB. I have to add the provison to view the file in client browser.
I tried using the webutil function to transfer file from DB to client and then from client to AS and showed the file using web.show_document. The issue with that solution is file keeps on created in AS server. is there a way i can programatically delete the file from AS, after showing using web.show-document.
Or can anyone suggest any other solution for the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
There is no need to transfer the file on the AS if they are stored in the database.

Download file stored in Database?

We are implementing a mini DMS in our application and need to
write and read files to the database. We are trying to figure out
if we can convert the byte array we get from the DB into a file
that the end user can save on the client machine.
Is this possible with Flex? I have heard no, but that Apollo
might allow it. What is Apollo?
Any ideas on how we could accomplish this with Flex3?

Apollo is what Adobe AIR was call in it's last version.
It's certainly possible to donwload this file from DB to
user's machine using Flex. And the bulk of the job would be done on
the server side, using Java/.NEt/PHP/whatever.
Flex would simply send a request using FileReference class to
a server side page and that page would read the file from DB as
byte array and write to the response. That would allow user to save
the file on his/her machine.

Manupulating Excel File Stored In Database

Is there any way I can manipulate the excel file that is stored in the database as LONG RAW ?
I need to allow user to manupulate the excel file that is stored in database and accordingly fetch the specific data from that manipulated Excel File of Database.

Your best bet is to keep the data in tables and generate a new excel file each time. Search this forum on how to generate excel files.. Here are three techniques... I like the XML method..
1) OLE2
2) XML
3) CSV
I have also done this using webutil..
1) retrieve excel blob from db to client using webutil function db_to_client_with_progress()
2) manipulate excel file on client using CLIENT_OLE2
3) put excel file back in db using webutil function client_to_db_with_progress()
Sorry.. Just re-read your post and didnt notice the Long-raw part.. :)

Size limit of access database with image files stored outside database

I have read 2GB limit on size of Access database. We are using Access 2013 database with fields that are data type attachment and storing attached images outside the database. Does the size of the folder that is holding these images count
in any way toward 2GB size limit?

Hi,
As far as I know, Access database limit size 2GB based on itself, not related to the folder size. Attachment data
type is similar to attaching files to e-mail messages. We need to control the Access database size is smaller then 2GB.
When a field is defined with the attachment data type, you can store one or more files for each record in it.
Attachments can dramatically increase the size of the database, but since the attached file is stored as a part of the dabatbase, you are not dependent on network drives being available as you would be if you inculded a hyperlink to the file. As a matter of
fact, feel free to backup the origainal file to other disk after you attach it to the database.

Serving webpage with image stored in database

This may look long, but it's easy to understand--I'm just trying to give all the details you might want: In our servlet/JSP site, a user can generate a report that may or may not contain images. The servlet just sends the user to a regular HTML page. The HTML file and images it may have are stored in directories on the Tomcat server. But now we have a problem...
We're moving to 2 standalone Tomcat machines with a load balancer in front, and so now we want to move any of this stuff that was stored on the webserver into the database. If the HTML text for the report has not yet been generated for that day, I can see my web app going to the database to pull out that HTML, and if there are any images, it could pull those out of the database, but then...how does it get those to the user's web browser?
Currently, when this report loads in the browser, we do a sendRedirect to the file, and the URL displays the full path to the file (and in the HTML code, there is of course a relative link to the image file). But now, these are supposed to be pulled out of the database...are we going to have to pull them out of the database and then write them out to file on the webserver (since they might not exist on that webserver), or is there some other/better way to display them to the user?
Thanks...

You can create an Image Servlet that you use to stream the image streight from the db to the page. The URLs that you use in the HTML pages would point to this Servlet with a parameter identifying the image (or you could map the Servlet to *.gif for example). The servlet then sets the content type to the appropriate image format, retrieves the image from the DB as a Stream and copies it byte for byte to the response output stream.
If you search the forums you will probably find an example of how to do this.

How to play .swf files stored in database?

Ok, i am pretty stuck with this...

Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.
But i have installed that flash player... And when i change the path to file that is actualy stored in folder on the server, all plays nicely?
Is this the way to solve this problem? I want to display dinamicaly .swf files into my web page. Please help. Thank you.

Dealing with HTML stored in database

I am trying to fetch data from one data source into XML, apply a stylesheet, and then save the resultant HTML into another table (using Java). The source data has some HTML tags embedded in it (which I want to maintain as tags), but during the processing these are being converted to text, as in:
 gets transformed into 
and is therefore not rendered correctly.
Can anyone help?

The thing is I don't know if DW has the ability to extend in
that manner because it would affect the way in which DW connects to
the database which seems to me to be a bit above and beyond what
the extensions were designed to do. I personally have not designed
extensions, but maybe one of the PVII guys who hang around this
forum or even Murray might be able to shed some light on this
subject.
The reason I don't believe it can do this right now is
because it does not have the database editing technologies built
into it, although I do believe that might not be a bad feature to
recommend (
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
). I know it is too late for CS4 because that is already in the
beta stages and not too far from production from the looks of it
and what has been discussed on the CS4 forums. Probably a couple
small patches and it is ready to go. Although it is possible for
the CS5 release which should also see PHP4 support going
away.

Associating apps with file types

I tried posting this is the Safari forum and got no response, so I thought I would give it a try here:
I used bit torrent for the first time in my life yesterday to download Slackware 12 for a spare PC. Not knowing much about how torrents work, I downloaded an application called Aquisistion.
When I click on a link for a torrent, it downloads a .torrent file to my desktop. For example: slackware-10-1.2-install-d2.torrent
I double click on the file and Aquisition fires up and starts the transfer. Can Safari be configured to automatically open and use Aquisistion when clicking on a link for a torrent?

Jsp page opening pdf file stored in an ORDDOC type column

Dear All,
i am building a jsp page that opens a pdf file stored in database. if column type is BLOB, i run the prepareStatement and store in a ResultSet, and then BufferedInputStream(result.getBinaryStream("FILE")). it works. page opens the pdf file.
but when column type is ORDDOC, i get this error:
Failure in java.sql.SQLException: Ongeldig kolomtype.: getBinaryStream not implemented for class oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CNamedTypeAccessor
what more do i do to get a pdf(or txt, msword..) file to jsp page and open it?
regards

Where should I store the collatoral files that are associated with photos stored in lightroom?

Where should I store the collatoral files that are associated with photos stored in lightroom? Items such as pdf files, word documents, etc. How should I connect them to each other so I can find both the photo and the related data?

Lightroom itself will not help you with pdf, word, etc.
However, there is a plugin you can use called AnyFile which will allow you to manage these documents in Lightroom (by assigning keywords and other metadata) so that you can search for all documents (photos, pdf, word, music, powerpoint, etc.) with given metadata.
Because you do this via metadata, it doesn't matter where you put these files. Put them anywhere you want.
