Blobs in scripts

I have a table which contains a Blob column. Now Normally these don't even take up as much as 1K, however they can potentially take more than 4K.
They will alwys be less than 32 K.
I want to be able to unload these blobs along with the rest of the data, so that I can have them in a script to loadupagain. I don't want these just to be an export file.
The effect of having these here will be to save hours of configuration, and it really is just the Blob column which is the cause of the headache.

You may use the trick from ApEx developer ( at least i've seen it first there), the main idea is
1) You encode your blob with utl_encode and write encoded content as literals.
2) By loading you proceed opposite ( decode)
3) If blob size is too big, you can split it in chunks, they can be put into collection.
All this gives you a possibility to avoid binaries ( for example in a source control). Of course, makes sense only if blobs are reasonably small. If i find my old code, maybe i'll post a working example, otherwise, if you are interesting in such approach - you can create a minimalistic ApEx application ( don't matter - locally or on hosted oracle server), upload small gif and save it as application image and then export your application. In generated script you'll find such an example.

Improvements to imp and exp utilities

Hello all:
Does 10g release 2 address the issue surrounding the inability for exp and/or imp to handle blob datatypes? We have a database the uses a couple of blob columns and each time (using Oracle 9i) I exp my tables and try to imp them, the blob columns are not created.

workaround is to create the table with the blob column first and then run the import with ignore=y.
to generate the blob table script use
imp file=<filename> indexfile=c:\temp\create_table.sql tables=<blob table>

Decode a blob field with a C script in a select query

HI
I have a coded field in a table which has been populated using 3rd party software. I need to decode this field so that i could rub a few reports. I have a C script that can decode this field but do not know how to call it up from a select statement.
Is there any way of decoding this by calling up the C script in a select query.
Thanks.

can you duplicate this code into a PL/SQL function?
Or else, you might try configuring your external procedures setup and call this routine (if it was available as a shared library or a DLL).

How to open a file form a blob column?

I'm storing some files in oracle 9.2 in a blob column, although i can't open them using php 4, I'm using this script :
<?php
     $SQL="SELECT ID_ARCHIVO,CONTENT";
          $SQL=$SQL." FROM ARCHIVOS_PRUEBAS ";
          $SQL=$SQL." WHERE ID_ARCHIVO =".$v_ID_ARCHIVO ;
          $c=OCILogon("$v_USER" , "$v_PASS" ,"$v_CONEXION" );
          $s = OCIParse($c,$SQL );
          if (!OCIExecute($s)) { print "execution failed"; exit(); }
     OCIFetchInto($s,&$arr,OCI_RETURN_LOBS);
     echo $arr["CONTENT"]->load();
          ?>
it shows this error
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in ov_archivo_detail_test.php on [echo $arr["CONTENT"]->load(); ].
I know the data is stored correctly since i used toad to save and open the blob file and it was ok, but i still can't find a right way to show the file from the web.

Need help to parse a blob

I'm trying to write an app to parse unified patch files. I've got a table to hold a set of patches from a single patch file and a table to hold each individual patch within the patch file (a single patch file can patch multiple source files). I'm currently holding the file contents in a blob field. I know how I would do this in python or other scripting languages, but I'm a complete pl/sql n00b, so I'm a bit clueless. Basically, I have the appropriate algorithm for parsing the file, but just not how to do it.
Does anyone know of a tutorial that explains how to do this? Or maybe post some tips as to what pl/sql modules to look into?

Kindly go through the following links ->
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/windows/odpnet/howto/anonyblock/index.html
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/jsp/samples/blob/blob.html

Error deleting VHD: There is currently a lease on the blob and no lease ID was specified in the request

When attempting to delete a VHD's blob you may receive the following error:
There is currently a lease on the blob and no lease ID was specified in the request
While these errors are expected if a VHD is still registered as a disk or image in the portal, we have identified an issue where a lease remains even if the blob is not registered as a disk or image in the portal.
If you receive one of these errors, first make sure the VHD is not in use:
In the Windows Azure management portal, if the disk shows up under Virtual Machines,
Disks, and the Attached To column is not blank, you should first remove that VM in the
Attached To column by going to VM Instances, selecting the VM, then clicking
Delete.
If Attached To is blank, or the VM in the Attached To column was already removed, try removing the disk by highlighting it under
Disks and clicking Delete Disk (this will not physically delete the VHD from blob storage, it only removes the disk object in the portal). If you have multiple pages of disks it can be easier to search for a specific disk by
clicking the magnifying glass icon at the top right.
If Delete Disk is grayed out, or the disk is not listed under Disks, but you still cannot reuse it or delete it, review the options below.
Breaking the lease
You can use the
Lease Blob API to break the lease in this scenario, which is also available in the Windows Azure PowerShell assembly
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.dll using
LeaseAction Enumeration.
To use the BreakLease.ps1 script to break the lease:
Download Azure PowerShell by clicking Install under Windows here:
http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/manage/downloads/
Start, Search, type Windows Azure PowerShell and open that console.
Run Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile to launch a browser window to
https://windows.azure.com/download/publishprofile.aspx to download the management certificate in a
.publishsettings file in order to manage your subscription with PowerShell.
Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile
Run Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile to import the certificate and subscription information. Replace the path below with the full path to the .publishsettings file if you didn't save it to your
Downloads folder. If you saved it to Downloads you can run it as-is, otherwise replace the path with the full path to the
.publishsettings file.
Import-AzurePublishSettingsfile $env:userprofile\downloads\*.publishsettings
Copy the script below into a text editor such as Notepad and save it as
BreakLease.ps1.
Run Set-ExecutionPolicy to allow script execution:
Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted
Run BreakLease.ps1 with the URL to the VHD in order to break the lease. The script obtains the necessary storage account information, checks that the blob is not currently registered as a disk or as an image, then proceeds to break the
current lease (if any).
Sample output:
BreakLease.ps1 -Uri 'http://clstorage.blob.core.windows.net/vhds/testvm1-testvm1-2012-06-26.vhd'
Processing http://clstorage.blob.core.windows.net/vhds/testvm1-testvm1-2012-06-26.vhd

Alternate method: make a copy of the VHD in order to reuse a VHD with a stuck lease
If you have removed the VM and the disk object but the lease remains and you need to reuse that VHD, you can make a copy of the VHD and use the copy for a new VM:
Download CloudXplorer. This will work with other
Windows Azure Storage Explorers but for the sake of brevity these steps will reference CloudXplorer.
In the Windows Azure management portal, select Storage on the left, select the storage account where the VHD resides that you want to reuse, select
Manage Keys at the bottom, and copy the Primary Access Key.
In CloudXplorer, go to File, Accounts,
New, Windows Azure Account and enter the storage account name in the
Name field and the primary access key in the Secret Key field. Leave the rest on the default settings.
Expand the storage account in the left pane in CloudXplorer and select the
vhds container (or if the VHD in question is one uploaded to a different location, browse to that location instead).
Right-click the VHD you want to reuse (which currently has a stuck lease), select
Rename, and give it a different name. This will throw the error
could not rename…there is currently a lease on the blob… but click
Yes to continue, then View, Refresh (F5) to refresh and you will see it did make a copy of the VHD since it could not rename the original.
In the Azure management portal, select Virtual Machines,
Disks, then Create Disk at the bottom.
Specify a name for the disk, click the folder icon under VHD URL to browse to the copy of the VHD you just created, check the box for
This VHD contains an operating system, select the drop-down to specify if it is
Windows or Linux, then click the arrow at the bottom right to create the disk.
After the portal shows Successfully created disk <diskname>, select
New at the bottom left of the portal, then Virtual Machine,
From Gallery, My Disks, and select the disk you just created, then proceed through the rest of the wizard to create the VM.
Thanks,
Craig

Just to add an update to this, it looks like the namespaces have changed with the latest version of the SDK. I have updated the script to use the new namespaces, namely: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Blob.CloudPageBlob and Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.CloudStorageAccount.

Error in Loading a BLOB Column in Oracle Database from 1 to diff schema

Hi ALL,
I am in a POC where in I have to load a BLOB data from 1 schema to a different schema ie from Staging to Target.
I load my staging(Oracle Schema ) through Oracle PLSQL. Now I have to load to my ODS.
I am using the LKM (LKM SQL to Oracle) and IKM (IKM Oracle Incremental Update PLSQL).
It errors out in the 3rd step 3-Loading-SS_0 Load Data
The script used and the error message is in the attachment. However if I run the script manually it runs and the Load happens successfully. Also I was able to load the same BLOB objects it the tables were in the same schema(In this case LKM is bypassed).
Any Thoughts on this?
The Error I receive is:

Hi,
Are you at the same database? If yes is better to grant select, at the schemas where is the source, to your Staging Area user.
Then, at topology, define all physical schemas under the same Data Server.
If you are at distinct database a good solution is to use a DBLink (KM) because when a SQL to SQL KM is used, the data go thru agent, making a conversion to Java.
I'm not sure if it can handle LOB's fields... Every time that I needed to use it was in the ways that I described.
Does it make any sense to you?

Do you need to uncomment one of the header() functions? Make sure
it is called before any text or whitespace is sent.

Hi stecorp75,
To troubleshoot above error, please make sure the following things.
1. Use the RBS.msi file on this link http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=16978.
Do not download the rbs_x64 link given in TechNet article
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748631.aspx .
2. Ensure that you run command prompt as administrator and then run your commands for RBS installation.
3. Follow the steps in this similar
blog to install RBS on SharePoint 2013.
However, if you still fail to install Remote Blob Storage, I would like to recommend you post the question in the SharePoint 2013 forum at
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=sharepointadmin . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
There is a similar thread for your reference.

Uploading and downloading blobs without wwv_flow_files

Hi,
I am currently working on oracle 10g database and application express.
i went throu the material to upload and download images, pdf from a htmldb book.
it was excellent material. but the book only gave example about loading and downloading images, pdf through flows_files.wwv_flow_files view.
it seemed like we can only d/l the pdf, images and display on htmldb report only throu flows_files.wwv_flow_files view, as in the case of the script below
select
   wff.id, htf.anchor( 'p?n=' || wff.id, wff.filename ) filename_1,
   wff.filename filename_2, ed.abstract abstract
from
   wwv_flow_files wff, easy_document ed
where
   wff.name = ed.name;but is there a way to load and download images, pdfs from my own tables without the involvement of flows_files schema.
if then how can i modify the above code to get the pdf from the following table
TableA (vessel number, cruise number, pdf blob)
here for every (vessel, cruise) combination there is a pdf.
how can i get this pdf displayed in my htmldb report.
Can someone guide me please.
Thanks,

I tried the document link you gave and it looks like, i can directly download pdfs from my own tables without needding to upload to wwv_flow_files_objecst$ table.
i modified the procedure in the document accroding to my requirements and it worked.
in my page i show a grid with the parameters and the pdf documentname as download link.
when i click on the link a popup window with the option to save or open comes up.
but the popup window shows the filename as my procedure name through which i pass the id for the pdf document instaed of the filename which is shown as download link on the page.
How can i change this popup window filename to the default file name shown in the download link.
so that everytime i select the parameters, the page shows the pdf filename as link and on clicking the link the popup window should be able to show the same name shown as link.
i think this can be set either at the procedure level or at the page level.
and this is the following contents of the procedure
--        SET UP HTTP HEADER
               -- use an NVL around the mime type and
               -- if it is a null set it to application/octect
               -- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
               owa_util.mime_header( nvl('PDF','application/octet'), FALSE );
                -- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
                 htp.p('Content-length: ' || B_LEN);
                -- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
-- htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||'CR'||VES||CRU||'.PDF'|| '"');
                -- close the headers
                owa_util.http_header_close;
                -- download the BLOB
                wpg_docload.download_file( BREP );and this is what i did at the page level. for that particular column i went to link option and the foll is what i gave:
Link Text: CR#VESSEL##CRUISE#.PDF
Link Attributes: target="_blank"
URL: #OWNER#.PROC_DOWNLOAD_PDFS?V=#VESSEL#&C=#CRUISE#
Here the link text is the filename that i wanted to show when saving the file.
Can someone guid eme please.
Thanks,
Philip.

Issue with file download from BLOB type data

i have been using this for a while, with no problems, including on hosted machines.
the upload to the database works fine.. not the issue, and the download script also works fine, on the local WAMP machine.
but once moved to the server it fails.. the query does not work.
i have a feeling that it is something to do with the managed hosting i am using, but they say no, i have tried it on 2 seperate hosted machines (different providers), with no joy.
if i run the select query on the hoisting server via phpmyadmin, the query runs ok.
any suggestions as to what may be causing the problem on the server compared to the local WAMP machine?
i really don't know where to start looking, or where to point the hosting company.
This is the php code to download the blob data, works fine on local WAMP setup, browser asks if you want to save the file/open etc. as expected.
<?php require_once('Connections/connTracker.php'); ?>
<?php
// if id is set then get the file with the id from database
if(isset($_GET['docindex']))
           {$id    = $_GET['docindex'];
        $query = "SELECT document_name, document_type, document_size, document_content " .
           "FROM tracker_documents WHERE document_index = ".$id;
*** seems to be failing here when running the query ***
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed');
           list($name, $type, $size, $content) = mysql_fetch_array($result);
     header("Cache-Control: maxage=1"); //In seconds
   header("Pragma: public");
     header("Content-length: $size");
           header("Content-type: $type");
           header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name");
           echo html_entity_decode ($content);}
exit;
?>

Hi Gun,
You are the only one responded to my issue. I have allocated some points.
Yes. I have checked the assignment in CRM organizational model.
I did download the org. structure from ECC 5.0
All objects including sales offices are activated for determination and I have verified with green light
As per your suggestion if the sales area data is not matched between the two systems, then how come the error will not reappear during the bdoc reprocess?
What is missing during the first time bdoc process? Looks something is missing for validation module?
Any inputs?
Thanks,
Raj

Display in browser blob files (.doc, .pdf...) stored in the Database

Hi,
I want to display blob file from de DB to the browser, but when I click on the link of the document I want to open, nothing append. If I check the length of the file it is correct. I tried to write it in a directory to see what appends. I can only write txt file. The other files are corrupted.
I did something like in the topik 532271.
Did I do something wrong ? Do I have to write some code in the web.xml ?
Here is my code :
public DataOutputStream showBlob() throws SQLException, IOException{
//it is my class not those from java.io
File file = (File) this.getFiles().getRowData();
FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletResponse resp = (HttpServletResponse)faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
Blob b = file.getBlob();
int len = 0;
InputStream is = b.getBinaryStream();
long length = b.length();
byte[] x = new byte[10240];
resp.setHeader("Content-Disposition","filename=\"" + file.getFileName() + "\"");
resp.setContentType(file.getMimeType().getMime());
resp.setContentLength((int)length);
DataOutputStream o = new DataOutputStream(resp.getOutputStream());
while ( (len = is.read(x)) != -1)
o.write(x, 0, len);
o.flush();
o.close();
is.close();
faces.responseComplete();
return o;
In my xhtml page I have :
<ice:commandLink id="downloadLink"
action="#{managerBean.layoutManager.ediTraining.showBlob}"
value="#{file.fileName}" target="_blank">
</ice:commandLink>
Thank you for your response.

window.configuration = {synchronous: false,redirectURI: null,connection: {context: '/uniform/',timeout: 30000,heartbeat: {interval: 20000,timeout: 3000,retries: 3}}};
