Blob upload using either forms 9i or plsql

I would like to upload over 100 thousand different images (.doc, .pdf, .txt, .gif, .xls, etc.) into an Oracle 9i database using either Forms 9i Release 2 or plsql. I would like to do this in one batch program... Would anyone please give me some ideas?
I tried using the bin2hex program and the initialize_container in Forms 6i but there is no such command in Forms 9i...
Thanks in advance,
Terry Sicard

  • DB occasionally crashing w/ ADO BLOB upload

    I have an ASP web application using Oracle 8i, with Microsoft IIS 5.0 on Win2K. One of the ASP pages allows users to upload a file attachment, which is stored in a BLOB in one of the Oracle tables.
    Occasionally the file upload fails to occur (a row never makes it into the table), but no error message is reported. (This problem is not regular, and is therefore very difficult to replicate.) After the users attempt to access this same table by downloading files, the Oracle instance completely locks up and needs to be bounced in order for the application to function.
    To make matters worse, this only happens in our production environment, never in development or testing, which are hooked up to a separate, but identical, database. This makes testing nearly impossible, because I can't risk crashing the production server with my testing.
    We suspect it might be caused by two users "fighting" for resources.
    Has anyone encountered this problem before? Any suggestions for troubleshooting?
    ALL IDEAS WELCOME!!! Thanks.

    Try downloading the last 8.0.5 ODBC driver (8.0.5.10) from OTN and see if that doesn't solve the problem.
    OLE DB is Microsoft's successor technology to ODBC. The protocols are conceptually similiar. When you use ADO and connect using an ODBC DSN, you're actually using an OLE DB to ODBC bridge.
    You should be able to fetch BLOB data using either the Oracle ODBC or OLE DB driver.

    My form has a list of yes or no questions.  I want to use either cheboxes or radio buttons.  Unfortunatly I can't make it work.  When I check yes for one question, it marks all yes answers for all other questions.  If I mark some radio buttons to answer, it unmarks later.  Need immediate help!!!

    Is it that you are using a PDF-based form? Did you copy and paste the Yes/No fields all the way down your form? If so, then all of the yes/no boxes are copies of each other and have the same name and properties in the PDF.
    For example, if you had:
         Question 1 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
         Question 2 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
         Question 3 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
         Question 4 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
    Then whatever answer you selected in Question 1 would populate down through the rest of the form.
    Changing the Yes/No field properties in questions two through four would eliminate the problem.
    I hope that helps,

  • Conserving filename with upload via portal form into blob type

    Hi
    I have a little question. Is there any chance to conserve a filename, which was uploaded into blob column via portal form and then create link for this file with the same name?
    null

    Vlasta,
    You certanly can save the original filename in your form, to do that you will need to add a FILENAME varchar2 column to your table and write a simple Javascript (search this forum for examples) to copy the fileselect value with onChange event. So, when you submit the form with your file the original name will be stored in you table.
    Thanks,

  • How to upload data into form of Oracle EBS R12 using ATS ver 9.0

    Hi experts,
    Could you please guide me how to upload data into form on Oracle EBS R12 using Oracle Application Testing Suite verson 9.(The simpliest way)
    For example: I need to create user account on Oracle EBS. Normally, I use Dataloader to upload the data, however it just can upload one by one record, cannot upload multi record at same time. Moreover if the performance of server is low, so I will get the issue when using dataloader.
    Thanks in advance
    Best Regards
    Hieu

    Hi you can create Virtual users to enter data. Note than you have to name the objects accordingly.
    For Example default recording provided by Open script is ObjectNAME_(Index No of the object).
    when you record one iteration the name of any object would be ObjectNAME_(0)
    You can then create virtual users so the index will increment as the total number of Virtual users increases. Also you have to handle which row of your test data would get mapped to which Virtual user in the script run session.
    Thanks

  • How many times can I use a form?

    Hi Everyone,
    Can anyone explain what this means? (text below) If I make a form in LiveCycle Designer and then I extend it so that other users can fill it out...Does that mean that only 500 people can use the form?
    If so, then...I am dumbfounded and disappointed.
    What must be purchased in order to allow more than 500 people to use an extended form?
    Thanks All.
    "15.12.3. For any unique Extended Document, you may only either (a) Deploy such Extended Document to an unlimited number of unique recipients but shall not extract information from more than five hundred (500) unique instances of such Extended Document or any hardcopy representation of such Extended Document containing filled form fields; or (b) Deploy such extended Document to no more than five hundred (500) unique recipients without limits on the number of times you may extract information from such Extended Document returned to you filled-in by such Recipients. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, obtaining additional licenses to use Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Pro Extended shall no increase the foregoing limits (that is, the foregoing limits are the aggregate total limits regardless of how many additional licenses to use Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Pro Extended you may have obtained).

    There are two parts to your question, even though one is implicit.
    Question 1 (implicit): Can I have an unlimited number of people fill in and submit the data for a form?
    Answer 1: Yes.  Reader has always allowed an unlimited number of people fill in a form as part of a web transaction and submit the results.  And, there have always been an unlimited number of times that someone can store the form (with no data filled in) on local systems or media or print the form.
    Question 2: Then what is the 500 user limit referred to with the reader extensions talking about?
    Answer 2: Reader Extensions is a capability enabled by the LiveCycle Reader Extensions server, or Acrobat (in the limited cases you quote from the EULA) to let a user save a form on a local system with data filled into it.  You can read more about it on the product page; the number of forms or recipients are part of the terms of the server license. Acrobat Pro can reader-extend a subset of the capabilities of the server product (only local form data save, signatures and commenting; not pdf spawn pages, web services or ODBC data access) and it only allows the 500 users in the two cases in the EULA for form data save.
    To make this more clear, consider two cases... a form that is not reader-extended (RE) and one that is.
    Not RE: You can get a form from a website, fill it in, and then submit the data by HTTP or email. However, if you save the form on your local system, the form that is saved is the blank form without the data.
    RE:You can get a form from a website, fill it in, and then submit the data by HTTP or email. But also, the user can save a copy of his form with the data filled in for his archival purposes. They can also start filling out the form, save it locally, come back and work on the data later, save again, and then finally submit.  The submit can be done by the same HTTP or email methods as above or the user can even choose to send the entire form back and have the werver process extract the data. (If you choose to reader extend through Acrobat, this use case is subject to the EULA limitations).
    I hope that helps.

    Connect to the database and execute four SQL INSERT/UPDATE statements as a single unit of work. The fact that you have one form shouldn't be an issue.
    I'll bet you're having trouble because you haven't layered the problem either in code or in your mind.
    I'd recommend that you write a POJO to take in some objects and execute the SQL. Once you have that running successfully you can worry about the form. Decouple the two.

  • Saving a PDF or DOC file into Oracle 9i using Developer Forms 10g

    Hi guys,
    I want to save a pdf or doc file into oracle 9i. I am using Developer 10 g. Please help me;
    1. What datatype field should be in database table to store such file.
    2. Which code should I use in Forms 10g to display open file dialog, get the name and save that into database table.
    Thanks in advance

    WEBUTIL is a library used with forms to interact with the client. With Forms10G the library comes shipped with the developer suite, for forms 9i i'm not sure, check the forms-page at otn if there is any download available. For documentation about how to do a file-upload, simply search the forum, there are lots of examples.

  • File Upload in a Form

    I have a file upload in a form of mine.
    I can't style the upload to match the rest of my form. I have tried to target the id="FileAttachment" to no avail. I have tried adding classes and nothing responds.
    In Dreamweaver it shows as styled until it gets on the web.
    Here is the site: http://ubhape2remodel.businesscatalyst.com/careers
    Any Advice?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the information.
    I cannot get it to work and I am unsure why.  I am not sure if I am not using the JS right or not adding something to the css. I am a bit confused.
    I am not all that good at javascript so I assume something here is off and I am just missing it.
    One other note: Is it possible to use my style of buttons and not an image (I would like the hover effect that I use on the buttons to apply to that one as well.) But not sure how this can be done or if it is possible.
    Any help would be very very much appreciated.

    why do you need an active/X for this?
    Can't you just create 2 default blocks on dept and on emp.
    Use the relationship wizard to define the relation. and set the number of records displayed for the emp block to 10?
    This will give you all you need with no hussle.

    Try the jason hunter book Java Servlet Programming for a very good description or the web site hosted by o'reilly
    www.servlets.com
    Has a very neat java class for decoding multipart mime encoded files (the upload stream from the browser). Seems to accomodate most of the differing browsers intretation of the standard.
    Note to Oracle: This should really be handled by the servlet engine as an Oracle extension. Where the servlet engine strips the mime encoding out before the servlet is called placing the decoded file in an associated extension call. ie: cast the request to an Oracle request object which has file uploaded method.
