Blob support in type 4 driver?

Does anyone know of a JDBC type 4 driver that supports the reading/writing of Blobs to Oracle 8.1.7 using the database independent JDBC api? When the objects I'm trying to write to the db get over a certain size (approx. 4k) it starts throwing exceptions.
I use an InputStream to pipe the data to the blob column. When the stream is over a certain size, the setBinaryStream method doesn't read the data from the stream and NULL is written to my blob column.
I've seen examples of how to read/write blobs using Oracle specific api's. My issue is my app needs to be database independent.
Any help of info would be greatly appreciated.

  • BLOBs in DB2 using DataDirect Driver

    I am using DataDirect JDBC Type-4 driver to connect to DB2. I have requirement to store large serialized java
    objects. For that initially I used BLOB type but when I call
    PreparedStatement.setBinarystream(colNo, inputStream, SerObjLength)
    I get an error saying: VALUE OF INPUT HOST VARIABLE NUM {0} NOT USED; WRONG DATA TYPE.
    As per DataDirect, they don't support BLOBs because DRDA restrictions(??). So I tried with CLOB. Now inserting
    is fine but when I retirve data using ObjectInputStream.readObject() I get error: java.io.InvalidClassException:
    java.util.Properties; Local class not compatible: stream classdesc serialVersionUID=4112578634029874751
    local class serialVersionUID=4112578634029874840.
    Now my question is, can we use CLOB for storing serialized
    objects? If not, what data type I can use for this to work or what are the other solutions.
    Any help on this is highly appreciated!!
    thanks in advance,

    i have the same problem. when i try to insert a binary on a blob colum says:
    "LOB col cannnot be selected by DRDA "
    (?????? help!). what does it means ?
    when i used other drivers (hit db2) tell the same message. what is the problem with db2?? anyone ?
    anyone has a example that insert a blob in a blob colum with sucess in db2 ??
    thanks

  • "...does not support this type of alias."

    I just reinstalled the OS 10.4 onto my G5 using the erase and install function. The drive is formatted as a Mac OS Extended (Journaled), which is an HFS+ format. I'm trying to copy some files onto the main hard drive from a DVD. I keep getting an error message that says "[the file name] cannot be copied to the destination, perhaps because the destination does not support this type of alias." I researched the message and the only thing I could find was that the error appears if the destination disk is formatted as a UFS disk. I thought maybe I made a mistake when I reinstalled the OS, so I tried to copy the same files to the secondary internal drive and to an external Firewire drive, and I got the same message both times.
    What should I be looking for so that this will work? I'm going to post in a couple other topics, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance,
    Lloyd

    Barry,
    I was trying to make back-up copies of my Adobe CS2 disks by copying the disks to the hard drive then burning them to CDs, but I got the error message when I dragged the contents from the original CD to the HD.
    This worked, but it took a while: I Stuffed each CD to the HD, then unStuffed them and used Toast to burn a new CD. A few steps longer, but at least it worked.
    Now, if I could only figure out why the second internal drive does not have the "Ignore Permissions" check box available, I'd be all set.
    Thanks,
    Lloyd

  • Not Support this type of CPU: 0f33

    Hi. After I flashed the BIOS to version 2, I get this error message "Not support this type of CPU: 0f33". I can't get to a floppy drive or CMOS to recover the flash.
    Has anyone else encountered this and if so, how did you get around it to recover?
    Thx

    MB MSI 848P Neo
    1 GB RAM
    Intel 2.8 CPU

    Found this article and tried it. But still cannot get to anything. Have a bootable floppy with the old bios version but cannot get to the floppy to boot it. The MB just hangs on the screen display "Not support this typs of CPU:0F33". Any help would be great.
    Thx
    Rename the desired AMI BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it on a floppy disk. e.g. Rename A569MS23.ROM to AMIBOOT.ROM
    Insert this floppy disk in the floppy drive. Turn On the system and press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. It will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the A drive.
    When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.

  • Unsatisfied Link Error when using Oracle OCI (Type II) driver

    We do not offer a JDBC driver for Linux in version 5.1. In version 6.0,we
    do offer a type 4 driver for Linux.
    In version 5.1, I suggest trying the platform independent type 4 JDBC driver
    available for free from Oracle. It is supported (as is any JDBC driver)
    with WebLogic Server. To download it:
    Go to http://www.oracle.com and select the "Download" option.
    From the resulting page, use the "Select Utility or Driver" dropdown to
    select Oracle JDBC drivers
    From the resulting page, scroll down a little (since SQLJ stuff appears at
    the top).

  • Does BLOB Support in Reports really work? As referenced in the doco..

    I am referring to chapter 15 of the application builder user guide.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/advnc.htm#BCGBCHBD
    Oracle Application Express includes BLOB support for both classic and interactive reports. If you use a wizard to create a report and include a column of type BLOB, basic support will be included. Additional information should be added after generation to make the download capability more user friendly.
    Consider the following example:IMAGE:EMP:RESUME:EMPNO::RESUME_MIMETYPE:RESUME_FILENAME:RESUME_LAST_UPDATE::attachment:Resume
    If you have a report column with a format mask that begins with 'IMAGE:', you will see a link below the format 'BLOB Download Format Mask'. This popup assists in entering all the parameters necessary for the IMAGE format.>
    So, I have just done the following.
    CREATE TABLE "IMAGE"
        "IMAGE_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
        "BINARY" BLOB,
        CONSTRAINT "IMAGE_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("IMAGE_ID")
      create sequence seq_image start with 1 increment by 1;
      CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "BI_IMAGE" BEFORE
      INSERT ON IMAGE FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
      SELECT seq_image.nextval INTO :NEW.image_id FROM dual;
    END;
    /Then create a form to upload images. That's successful.
    Then create a page with report to display the images.
    select image_id, binary
    from imagePreview report, just get '[unsupported data type]' displayed for the binary column - which is fine.
    So then I go to into the column attributes to specify the BLOB format mask, giving me:
    DOWNLOAD:IMAGE:BINARY:IMAGE_ID::MIME_TYPE::::inline:Download
    I have tried both the format mask for providing a download link, and displaying the image, both to no avail.
    All I get is:
    ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion errorAm I missing something?
    nb: Yes, I do know about the APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC function, but since the above method is in the documentation, you would think it would work, right?

    Hi,
    Yes, mime type is in the table, and is referenced in the format mask.
    OK - I didn't have a filename column, and since it is not a required field for the format mask, I figured I wouldn't need it - Although I gave the example of using the link, I actually just want the image to display, using the technique that is documented - which also produces the same error. Both should work, no?
    Even so, i just gave it a try with filename referenced in the format mask, same issue.
    Ta,
    Trent

    In the Xorg log, the differences are:

    [ 1191.621] (==) NOUVEAU(0): DPMS enabled
    So now 3D acceleration is disabled.
    I will see now if the system is stable enough for my daily usage and gives satisfactory performances.
    I am almost sure that the mesa nouveau dri driver is the cause of the freezes.

    user569548Thanks for those who have bothered to view this thread. I have googled and struggled and found out that Oracle supports ROWID type by:
    (1) ResultSet' method getString() rather than getRowId(), which is weird.
    (2) and oracle.sql.ROWID, CF java.sql.RowId.

  • My HP Support Assistant is downloading driver updates but not installing,

    Hello there,
     I use  HP 15-r046tu Notebook PC, the issue is my HP Support Assistant is downloading driver updates and every single time its failing to install. I even saw earlier posts on this issue and downloaded the latest support assistant and also followed the instructions but yet its not helping to solve the issue. btw i am using windows 8.1.
    I would really appreciate if one could help me solve this isuee. 
    Thank you .

    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    Commentary
    Depending on the underlying cause of the problem, the HPSA (HP Support Assistant) may never be able to install the updates on your particular system.  The problem could be a server problem, it could be the Internet path the data has to take to get to your part of the planet, it might be your Internet provider  that, at any particular moment in time, is not cooperating, it is possible that your computer is having RPC issues due to outdated drivers, File System errors --- whatever.
    IF you find and fix whatever mystery is causing the root cause of the prlblem, then Voila!  The install portion of the program may work.
    This wonderful program works for millions of people -- and yet it does not work for many deserving folks who have done nothing wrong and who do not know why it does not work for them.
    Make sure your Windows Updates are current.
    Create a Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR  Create a restore point Win8
    Next:
    Close all your programs and shut down your computer
    Shut down and Switch off any other computers in the network
    Switch off any printers on the network
    Switch off the Router
    Disconnect everything on this computer (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
    Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook model
    Switch on the router - wait at least thirty seconds for the router to boot.
    Boot the computer and log in
    Reminder:  Hard Reset is just a device Reset.  The procedure does not wipe out your files nor does it destroy your Windows setup in any way.  It just "clears the cobwebs".  Depending on the cause of the problem, this kind of "reset" can fix a variety of computer glitches.
    This exercise is unlikely to fix the problem; it might do so if the problem is minor and related to stuck instructions or minor temporary link or device issues.
    Suggested Workaround to the problem
    You can use the Patch list provided by HPSA and then open your computer's website to find, download, and install the drivers and software you want to update.
    NOTE:  Please see the Comments below before you Update your BIOS.   Please do not update the BIOS unless it is necessary and your computer is fully backed up beforehand.

    =======================================================
    Commentary -- BIOS Updates
    It is this Expert's opinion that you should not depend on HP Support Assistant when it comes to BIOS updates.
    Depending on other factors in the system at the time the HPSA tries to hit your system with an update of this type; the results might be ... other than expected.
    You might set HPSA to "Notify" to prevent it from trying to update your BIOS.
    ONLY update the BIOS when you see an update in your computer's webpage AND that update can be used to provide a fix for an issue you have discovered in your system.  In other words:  If your computer is happy, do not update the BIOS just because you think it would be a nice thing to do to it.
    If you decide to update your BIOS,
    Make sure ALL your backups are current and complete - this means everything you need to restore the system in the event that something goes wrong.
    Understand that even when you do everything exactly right, you can end up with a bricked computer, that is, an expensive paper weight.
    Make sure you have at least your critical data on some form of external backup.
    Disconnect USB drives and any other unnecessary hardware.  Keyboard and mouse can stay connected.
    Always run in AC power when updating the BIOS, never on the notebook battery
    Do not touch the system while the update is in progress
    Optional: Leave wireless button ON. You might switch off the router to assure there are no interruptions.

  • Oracle Forms New Features - Your input.  Supporting data types

    I am interested to know IF we were to support any new database types in Oracle Forms 11g, which types would you like supported and why. I'd also like to know if you are currently working around the absence of a database type.
    Please note, this is not any kind of commitment to support new data types in Oracle Forms applications but we are interested to know if there is demand and if so, for what types.
    Thanks
    Grant Ronald
    Oracle Forms Product Management
    p.s lets keep the thread focused on the topic so please don't post technical questions or comments about different new features - if you want to, start a new thread - thanks

    Hi Grant,
    support for the "new" - well they exists since 9iR1 ... 2001 - data types TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE, INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND would be very helpful.
    Currently it's not possible to use the Data Block Wizard to create a data block for table/view that contains one of these columns.
    (In Forms Builder 10.1.2.3 it fails with a strange error message ... iewbdbc_oracle_to_id ... C:\forms\101220\src\ie\iewbdb.c:724 ...)
    So, one has to create the data block and the items manually. The items have to be CHARS.
    Then forms is able to fetch and display these columns. The user can edit them as normal.
    A WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger can be used to make sure that the implicit conversion from CHAR to the "new" datatype works.
    For example, an INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH column (b):
    declare
      l_invalid_interval exception;
      pragma exception_init(l_invalid_interval, -1867);
      l_invalid_month exception;
      pragma exception_init(l_invalid_month, -1843);
      l_dummy interval year(9) to month;
    begin
      l_dummy := to_yminterval(:block2.b);
    exception
      when l_invalid_interval
      then
        message('invalid interval');
        raise form_trigger_failure;
      when l_invalid_month
      then
        message('invalid month');
        raise form_trigger_failure;
      when others
      then
        message(error_text);
        raise form_trigger_failure;
    end;This nasty trick works for most of the "new" datatypes except with TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.
    In Forms 10.1.2.3 the following WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger can (incorrectly!) fail:
    declare
      l_dummy timestamp with time zone;
    begin
      l_dummy := to_timestamp_tz(:block2.a);     
    end;It fails with "ORA-01804: failure to initialize timezone information", if the time zone is not like "-11:00", but like "EUROPE/PARIS". Don't know why...
    If we recode our trigger to make a round-trip to the database, it works:
    declare
      l_dummy timestamp with time zone;
    begin
      select to_timestamp_tz(:block2.a)
      into   l_dummy
      from dual;     
    end;We could avoid these tricks, if Forms (and Reports) would support these type natively.
    Thanks, Michael
    PS: The TIMESTAMP and INTERVAL data types should of course be supported as items, parameters, globals and record groups columns.
