BLOB in Oracle Forms 6.0

I have used the following PL/SQL code in Forms 6.0 form, for inserting an Image in the BLOB type column of a database table, taken from windows filesystem.
DECLARE
     F_LOB BFILE;
     B_LOB BLOB;
BEGIN
     INSERT INTO IMAGES (IMAGE_ID, IMAGE_FILE) VALUES (1, EMPTY_BLOB());
     SELECT IMAGE_FILE INTO B_LOB FROM IMAGES WHERE IMAGE_ID = 1 FOR UPDATE;
     F_LOB := BFILENAME('BLOB_FILES', 'BlueHills.JPG');
     DBMS_LOB.FILEOPEN(F_LOB);
     DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE(B_LOB, F_LOB, DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(F_LOB));
     DBMS_LOB.FILECLOSE(F_LOB);
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
     MESSAGE(SQLERRM);
     MESSAGE(SQLERRM);
END;
When i debug or run the form, it collapses or closes at line # 2 without giving any exception, and hense does'nt inserts the image in the column, where BLOB_FILES is the database directory object mapping to a specific windows file system directory containing images.
I would be very thankful if anyone can help me out of this problem.

Dear Gerd Volberg,
I have:
Forms Version 6.0.5.0.2
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0
and with the following statement you have made in ur last post what should I do then:
only patch 18 is certified against this database 10 g rel. 2.
I know many problems around blobs and clobs when using too old patch-sets.
install the newest patch 17 and try it again. 17 is certified against 10g DB rel. 1.
18 is only for EBS-user, so you are not allowed to install it when not running the E-Business-Suite

BLOB in Oracle forms

Hi
I'm using Oracle forms 10g, against Oracle database 11g
I have a BLOB filed that have a pdf file, how I can view this file in Oracle forms ; ts its not showing
Thanks
Sami Mikhail

Please read the article (or any other one about wpg_docload). It gives a lot of information.
so web.show_document will...not do any of the mentioned things. This just opens a browser window for the URL you specified. Your procedure does the rest:
Show me any file type pdf image doc ?Yes, depending on your mime type and support by the browser for this type.
It will open from the database not thefile structure ?Yes.
How do I know the <the url to get your file out of the database> ?As an example from the article:
http://<server-name>:<port>/pls/<DAD>/document_api.download?file=<file name>
Here is a very long discussion about the same subject:
Viewing a PDF from the database
(but there are many more in this forum)

Display in "Oracle Forms 10g" a BLOB item

Hey, anybody know if there was any java component or a way to display in "Oracle Forms 10g" a BLOB item, which contains no images, but files of type PDF, DOC, TXT ....
Thank you

<p>The Enhanced HTML browser bean allows showing amost everything in its window. See this screen shot</p>
So you could download your stored document onto the AS or the client with the Webutil FILE_TRANSFERT package, or you could envisage top develop
a nice PL/SQL procedure that would send the content via the UTL_HTTP package.

Insert picture in a blob column and show in oracle forms

hi ,
please help me with this
I am trying to insert a picture into a blob column of a table and show that in oracle forms , but not able to do it .
I am using version 10g for both database and forms .
Please tell me how to insert a picture in a blob column that is stored in my 'c:\test' folder
and also how to show that in forms .

To populate the Image Item you have to use the Webutil Client_Read_Image_File() built-in.
here
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/forms/10g/state?navSetId=_&navId=3&vtTopicFile=f1_help/builtn_r/readimag.html&vtTopicId=
To add an Image Item to your block based on the table that contains the BLOB column, then give this Image Item the BLOB column name.
So that, all you have to do is to execute query on that block.

See BLOB contents on Oracle FORMS

Is there anyway that I can see the BLOB object contents in Oracle Forms? For example, if I have a word document in BLOB, I should be able to open it in Oracle forms. I've already posted this today, but just for clarification, I'm reposting this with exact requirements. My client wishes to see data from a table and in that a BLOB object is one of the columns. For each row, there is a word document, which should also be displayed (or at least a link) on Form. If clicked on the link, the BLOB content, i.e., the word document should get opened. Please let me know if there is any way. Francois was trying to help me, I think this explanation makes it clear for him and also others. I don't have webutil library and my Forms version is 6.0.8.18.3. Please help me soon. I'm in an urgent realease this weekend and need this deliberately. It is not possible to upgrade to newer version for me.
Thanks
Sarma.

In fact, I just had to do this today. It works as expected using an image item on the BLOB column. I am at 10.1.2.0.2, if that makes any difference. Are you positive you have data in the BLOB column? I noticed that after loading a table with image items, I used SQL Developer to look at the table to ensure there was data in the rows. After that, the images no longer appeared in the form. I had to reload the table, then all was well again.

Display blob file with oracle forms

I need to display an image file with oracle forms.
can any body tell me how to do this ?
Thanks

How to do this is dependent on which version of Oracle Forms you are using. Please let us know what version (eg; 10.1.3.x.x not 10g) of Oracle Forms you are using and how your application is deployed (Client/Server or web). If web, what is your Java version?

OLE Containers in Oracle Forms 6i

Hello,
We have an Oracle Forms 6i application which stores a large number of documents in LONG RAW columns in Oracle 10g using serialized OLE Container objects. Is there a way to automate the extraction of those documents (PDF and DOC) from the database to the file system?
Edited by: rpetrk1 on Jul 11, 2012 5:03 PM

If all you want to do is extract the documents from the Long Raw columns, you can use UTL_FILE to extract the binary content to the file system. You would have to loop through the records in your table to extract each file. Take a look at article Export BLOB Contents Using UTL_FILE that I googled. Granted, this article discusses exporting a BLOB not a Long Raw, but the concept is the same and you should be able to modify the code sample in the article to work with your Long Raw columns.
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

Import OLE methods in Oracle Forms 6i

Hi,
I am experiencing some problems to import OLE methods in Oracle
Forms 6i.
In Forms 6i, I select Program->Import OLE Library Interfaces
menu option. After the Import OLE Library Interfaces dialog box
appears, I can see the OLE Class that I would like to access
but none of its methods or events.
Why the methods and events do not appear?
Thanks in advance.
