With form6, create a data block including the blob field and it will automatically populate on the screen. Make sure the blob field in the data block is defined as image. Hope this help.

  • How to upload blob from forms6i

    Hi,
    Anyone has idea how to upload blob
    using forms6i ?????

    Hi,
    Set-AzureStorageBlobContent copies a file from the host it is run on to Azure Blob Storage. Running this cmdlet on your local machine means it will copy files from your local machine to Azure Blob Storage. Running this cmdlet in a runbook means it will copy
    files from the sandbox running the runbook to Azure Blob Storage. Runbooks have no access to your local machine, since they run in Azure.
    If you want to interact with files on your local machine from within runbooks, you need to put the local files into Blob Storage, and then download them from Blob Storage within the runbook.
    Here's an example of PowerShell you could put in a runbook to download files from Blob Storage:
    $AzureConnectionName = "SomeAzureConnectionAssetName"
    $TempFileLocation = "C:\abc.cscfg"
    $StorageAccountName = "MyStorageAccount"
    $ContainerName = "MyContainer"
    $BlobName = "MyDeploymentConfig.cscfg"
    Connect-Azure -AzureConnectionName $AzureConnectionName
    InlineScript {
    Select-AzureSubscription -SubscriptionName $Using:AzureConnectionName
    $StorageAccount = (Get-AzureStorageAccount -StorageAccountName $Using:StorageAccountName).Label
    Set-AzureSubscription `
    -SubscriptionName $Using:AzureConnectionName `
    -CurrentStorageAccount $StorageAccount
    $blob =
    Get-AzureStorageBlobContent `
    -Blob $Using:BlobName `
    -Container $Using:ContainerName `
    -Destination $Using:TempFileLocation `
    -Force

  • Display blob with forms6i

    Hi,
    i thought it would be easy ti find how to do it nut from searching this site and with google i couldn;t find the answer for that.
    i have blobs in a table (jpg,doc,pdf ...) .
    how can i display those blobs (jpg,doc,pdf ...) in forms6i ?
    can you give me step by step how to .
    thanks allot for any help
    Zvika

    You can display a jpg image in an image item. But you cannot directly show pdf in Forms (like you do with a plugin in a browser). You can put the file on the file system and then open it with a HOST command or the DDE package.
    This is an example from the online help:
    ** Start MS Excel with spreadsheet emp.xls loaded
    DECLARE
      AppID  PLS_INTEGER;
    BEGIN
        AppID := DDE.App_Begin('c:\excel\excel.exe emp.xls',
         DDE.App_Mode_Minimized);
    END;

  • Load a file to a BLOB from Forms6i

    Hy!
    How can i load a file into BOLB using forms 6i?
    Daniel.

    To my knowledge there are two ways:
    1) Using an OLE container. I don't know what patch of forms 6i you are using and I don't know if that works fine with BLOB but I know it does work well with LONG RAW columns. However, you will probably be able to retrieve your .DBF object only from within Oracle Forms 6i and you need a "helper application" installed on the client machine to display or do whatever needs to be done with the .dbf.
    2) Using the DBMS_BLOB package. However, I am not very familiar with that approach. You may wish to do a search in this forum for BLOB and you may be able to find a solution using that package.

    the blob brush keeps the settings
    of the brush tool (unless you selected other than a calligraphy brush)
    to keep the blob brush from loosing its settings, click into the empty space of the brushes-palette to deselect the brush you used with the brush tool

  • Problem inserting a gif into a blob field in a table with sqldev / forms6i

    Problem solved - For those that might be interested, the errors don't make much sense - the problem was with the gif. Seems that these 28 gifs plus the new scans were saved from the scanner with
    GIF - LZW, Transparent color: 255
    Converting them to Black and white allowed them to be loaded.
    If anyone understands why, I'd like to know
    glenn
    I was previously having a problem deleting a row with a blob and it was suggested that I create the table using rowdependencies - which I did as follows.
    CREATE TABLE "MDD"."MDD_FIGURE2"
    (     "FG_FIGURENAME" VARCHAR2(18 BYTE),
         "FG_FIGURE" BLOB,
         CONSTRAINT "FG_FIGURENAME_NN" CHECK ("FG_FIGURENAME" IS NOT NULL) ENABLE
    ) ROWDEPENDENCIES;
    Then I copied my data from my previous table with the following - and everything came across
    INSERT INTO MDD_FIGURE2 (fg_figurename, fg_figure)
    SELECT FIG_FIGNAME, FIG_FIGURE FROM MDD_FIGURE;
    mdd_figure2 was then renamed to mdd_figure
    The table, Mdd_Figure, already contains some 2000+ .gifs that were successfully loaded with Forms 6i (yes, I know it is old, but I am stuck with having to use it). All the .gifs I am loading are from scans and all are less than 64k. However, 28 .gifs would not load. When I insert the .gif into the field and committed the form, the status message tells me a record was written but when I check it, the blob is empty.
    So, when I try to insert one of these problem .gifs in SqlDeveloper, I open the new mdd_figure table, select the blob field, open the edit dialog, set it to figure, select the .gif that I want to load and then save it. The blob field changes from NULL to BLOB, but it is empty. When I try to commit, I get the following error from SqlDev.
    UPDATE "MDD"."MDD_FIGURE" SET WHERE ROWID = 'AAAOeWAAEAAABAlAAz' AND ORA_ROWSCN = '358136842'
    One error saving changes to table "MDD"."MDD_FIGURE":
    Row 14: ORA-01410: invalid ROWID
    I use rollback to restore the record to it's previous state.
    If I load one of the successfully loaded .gifs into the same field, it loads perfectly as follows.
    UPDATE "MDD"."MDD_FIGURE" SET WHERE ROWID = 'AAAOeWAAEAAABAoAAp' AND ORA_ROWSCN = '358136522'
    Commit Successful
    It appears the 28 gifs have a problem. I've re-scanned them, with the same results. They are just small scanned line map images from our earlier publications. They view properly in several different graphics programs and I can't find anything wrong with them.
    I notice that the ROWID's are different while the ORA_ROWSCN's are the same - but what is the significance of that?
    Any suggestions as to what is happening and what I can do about it?
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    (Database is 10R2 and sqldev is the most recent one)

  • Forms6i, read and write Images to BLOB

    I read and write jpg's to the database with this commands:
    Read_Image_File (V_Filename, 'JPG', 'BILDER.IM_BILD');
    Write_Image_File (V_Filename, 'JPG', 'BILDER.IM_BILD', No_Compression, Original_Depth);
    My problem is, that forms stores a jpg-format to the db, that cannot be read from java-programs.
    The other way, when java stores jpg's to the BLOB, then forms can work fine with this images too and java also...
    What does forms do, when it stores jpg's to the db, so that other programs cannot use the images?

  • How can I insert a image into a BLOB column in a table?

    I am using forms6i against a 10gR2 database and I have one table with a BLOB column and I try to insert a image into this column. I get ORA-01461 error.
    The curious case is that in another table with a BLOB column it works very fine.
    What happens with the first table? How can I avoid the error?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Displaying PDF files (stored as BLOBs in Database) using Forms 6i

    Hi,
    We have PDF and Word documents stored in Database (Version 8.1.7). We are using Oracle Forms 6i as User Interface. Through Forms we could view word documents which are stored in database, using OLE container.
    But we could not view PDF files.
    It would be more helpful and valuable if I get ideas/suggestions on this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Umasankar

    Frank,
    You are correct, I totally agree with you.
    TOAD software which i suggested was not for user interface but more for testing purpose - To ensure that the documents is uploaded to BLOBS correctly.
    I am not a WEB person, but I believe sugnificant coding is required in forms6i/9i with WEB features to display the respective documents.
    If, the purpose in ONLY for testing, then TOAD can be used which requires no coding.

  • Insert doc/pdf/jpg into BLOB using forms (web based)

    Hi All,
    we have 81741 db on window2000(data server), forms6.0.8.20.1 on windows2000(webserver)
    & users using IE6/netscape as setup. User wants to store a pdf/doc/jpg file (stored on his PC)
    into database.
    He wants ability to view this pdf/doc/jpg later & have ability to download again to his pc. Please note
    that we have web based setup & not using HTTP server (using WebDB listener).
    I am planning to use BLOB to store the table in database, but cannot figure out what/how to force forms
    to do this.
    If someone has done this before, could you please update this thread on how to proceed.
    Thanks a lot for your input...
    Abhi.

    AS far as inserting images you can use the image item in Oracle Forms and base it on a blob column in the database.
    Regarding the other types of data you can upload them to the database using a Java function on the application server (use the java importer from Forms to call the Java class). You can use another Java function to retrieve the info from the database to the application server, and then use web.show_document to get the file from the application server to the client.
    Or you can wait a few weeks for the Webutil utility that will have this functunality built into it.

  • Retriving a blob after it was loaded by OLE container in forms 6i

    We had forms6i application which has loaded documents into a blob column in the database using OLE container. We are able to retrive the blob from the OLE container on the forms6i, However when we are trying to retrive the same blob using PL/sql into the OS level file , we are unable to open the file as it not able to de-serialize the blob loaded into the database by an OLE container on the forms 6i
    we have loaded around 5000 documents in the database using forms 6i application.
    These were loaded during normal application usage and added mannually by invoking the forms application and then saving.
    Our requirement is now to retrive these documents all at once using automated scripts. if Blob data is inserted using forms 6i OLE container then is there any automated exteneded procedures to retrive those blobs using PL SQL script or any other method.
    my Forms version:Forms 6.0.8.25
    My Databae : Oracle database 10.2.0.4
    Thanks in advance.

    When you click a C/S OLE object, it is opened with its default application's owner, no ?
    So if the OLE object is opened by Excel, the extension is .xls.
    In any case you have to open the OLE object with its "mother" application if you want to save it as a file, so there is no problem at all to decide with extension to use.
    If you read this article : http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/webutil-docs/Webutil_store_edit_docs.htm you can see that the filename is automatically opened with the corresponding application.

  • Different ways to store/retrieve blob

    Hi,
    Can somebody explain to me , the methods available to store a file(different formats .pdf,.doc,.gif etc..)
    as blob in to database and retrieve as the same file.??
    I'm using forms6i and database10g.
    I first tried with DBMS_LOB package, but during retrieval, the retrieval procedure should be invoked through a web browser and the blob content will be downloaded to the browser.
    But i dont want the browser to come into picture.
    Pls help.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Not sure about PDFs and DOcs but Images you can store in database by using Forms 6i
    use the similar code to write image in Image item field which is BLOB
    --To Load Image or files
    DECLARE
          filename VARCHAR2(1000) ;
    BEGIN
         filename := GET_FILE_NAME(File_Filter=> 'JPEG Files (*.jpeg)|*.jpeg|');
         READ_IMAGE_FILE(filename, 'JPG', 'myblockname.myItemName');
    END; and later you can commit image will store in database
    -- To delete image from Db use
    update mytable
    set myImageColumn = EMPTY_BLOB()
    where myId = :my_id;if you dont want to use File open dialog then use WRITE_IMAGE_FILE built-in
    try with BLOBs i guess you can store them as well

  • Blob problem (Image storing or Currupted )

    AOA!
    I am working as a developer in a companey. we made a database for HRMS. In this database there is a table EMPLOYEE with a column PICTURE of type BLOB. We were using oracle 8i initially but when we migrate to oracle 9i, we are facing a problem in image storing. The situation is, database showing ur previously stored images (those have stored in oracle 8i) but when we save a new image in that table or any other table it seams to be saved but cannot retrived. I mean when we issue a query
    SELECT EMP_ID FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE PICTURE IS NOT NULL;
    It shows the new inserted records too (thats shows us that picture has been inserted) but when we issue query from a forms6i application it didnt show any image. In case of report, when we try to query a record which newly inserted with image, it says some thing like REPORT IS UNABLE TO SHOW IMAGE FORMATE etc.
    The situation is for all table and all schema which is indicating us may be it is some thing due to oracle 9i headen technique or due to miss managment by us. we dont have DBA in our companey.
    Please help us in this regard. We will be thankfull to you.

    I think that both your SQL is wrong and your intended use is wrong. According to the SQL reference, the following seems to be a simplified definition that seems to match what you're trying to do. UPDATE &lt;table&gt; SET &lt;column&gt; = &lt;expr&gt;. So PROPERTIES should be a &lt;table&gt; of some kind and X should be a &lt;column&gt; of that table. This changes your PreparedStatement to *"UPDATE PROPERTIES SET X = ? WHERE NAME = ?"* Then you can do ps.setBlob(1, b) and ps.setString(2, ...). Because your statement is DML you must do ps.executeUpdate(). So your code might look something like this.
    Blob b = ...;
    String x = ...;
    ps = c.prepareStatement("UPDATE PROPERTIES SET X = ? WHERE NAME = ?");
    ps.setBlob(1, b);
    ps.setString(2, x);
    int i = ps.executeUpdate();
    The executeUpdate() returns the row count (i.e. number of rows) of your DML statement. Try that and see if it helps.
