(Hint: It was the first hit that came up when I googled "how to insert blob into oracle table")
http://arjudba.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-to-insert-blob-dataimage-video-into.html
Did not understood this very first statement:
1)Create Directory Where BLOB resides.
create or replace directory temp as '/oradata2';what is its purpose?

Upload multiple excel files into tables using APEX

Hi folks,
I'm wondering if anyone has ever uploaded multiple .csv files simultaniously and store the data into the database using APEX XE before.
I can browse for a single file, and execute that okay and a good example of doing that can be found at http://advait.wordpress.com/2008/05/21/uploading-excel-sheet-using-oracle-application-express-apex/
This works fine when the user browses to a specific file on their network and then uploads the data from that one file.
However I need the ability to 'grab' every file in a specific directory one after the other to process rather than having to specify which one to load everytime, and wondered if anyone has come across this before.
Many thanks
Graham.

Just for completeness ...
Got this to work, but it's a pl/sql issue as opposed to an APEX issue.
Anyway, if anyone needs to have the ability to read multiple files then a quick easy way to do it (as lomg as they know the file names that will be read), is to create a directory on the database which points to the actual harddrive on your PC, then create a table (called an external table) and read from that external table as if it was an actual database table ...
1 - Log on as sys and grant CREATE ANY DIRECTORY to whatever user you are logging in as (assuming you are not using sys to create apps)
2 - Create a directory e.g....CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY GB_TEST AS 'c:\gbtest';
3 - Create an external table as ...
CREATE TABLE gb_test
(file_name varchar2(10),
rec_date date
rec_name VARCHAR2(20),
rec_age number,
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY GB_TEST
ACCESS PARAMETERS
RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LOCATION ('data1.csv','data2.csv','data3.csv','data4.csv')
PARALLEL 5
REJECT LIMIT 20000;
That's it then ...
select * from gb_test
where file_name = 'xxx'
will return all the data where the file_name = 'xxx'
very easy to use.

Can I split a PDF / PCL file when generating using Crystal Report

Hi,
I can generate a big PCL file from sending it to a PCL printer from Crystal. Can I add something to split the PCL file while generating it from Crystal?
Any pointers towards splitting a PCL would be appreciated.
Thank you
Deepa

Hi Deepti
Crystal Reports is just a tool to present the data.
Unfortunately there is no functionality to instruct to split the report pages while sending to the printer that too automatically from Crystal Reports Designer Stand Alone application.
You can select the page range according toyour requirement.

How can I set a default save file for scans using the Solution Center?

Using Windows 7 - 64 bit. HP Photosmart Premuim C-309a All-In-One Printer.
Because of a Windows crash, I had to install a new drive and reload Windows. I also reloaded other software like the HP Solution Center & Drivers. My problem is that I can't find how to set a default folder for my scans. This is NOT mentioned in the user manual but it was originally accomplished by HP Tech Support when the printer was new. Can anyone relate how to set default folders for my scans?
Thanks.
Tango
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Here is a document on how to scan through Windows 7.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03476857
Click either solution center or the icon of the printer on your desktop. Here select "Scanner Actions" (or the analogous selection). When the window pops up from the HP software it should provide you with options for file type (.tiff, .pdf, .jpg) as well as resolution and media size. Here on this page there is also an option for you to go to the advanced options. Using this you can alter the default safe folder.
Let me know if that helps you out!

Uploading DOC,PDF etc files and sending it to External user

    Currently I m not been able to find out the location where the file is getting stored.
Please guide me on that

Hello,
I saw your question and after reading Tamo's blog, here is the answer to your questions:
1. how you should initialize the outputstream.
you do not initialize the outputStream, the Weblogic container does that for you, the call response.getOutputStream() returns a ready to use stream.
2. what should I do with the outputstream after that, I mean how to show to user. do I need another conversion from outputstream to another datatype File forexample.
you simply flush the output to the client, and the client will render the blob depending on the mimeType. since the output stream writes to the response that is sent back to the client.
by the way, those two questions has more to do with J2EE than ADF.

Will I be able to transfer files of DOC , PDF, excel and PPT from PC to I-pad Air?

I have recently purchased I-pad Air. I want to transfer DOC, PDF, EXCEL and PPT files for PC to I-Pad and vice-versa. Will I-tune 10 do the job abd please let me know the steps tp be followed.

I think that you need iTunes 11.
You can copy word, excel, powerpoint and/or PDF documents to the iPad, but first you need one or more apps on the iPad that support those document types - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
The options include Apple's Pages app for Word documents, Numbers for Excel spreadsheets and Keynote for Powerpoint. And from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice. Microsoft have also released apps, but unless you subscribe to Office 365 you will only get read-only e.g MS Word For iPad.
For PDFs there are free apps such as Apple's iBooks app and also Adobe Reader - and paid-for apps such as GoodReader (which also supports read-only of word and excel documents).
As to how you then get the file to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via your wifi network, email, dropbox etc. For Apple's Pages, Numbers and Keynote : copying documents via iTunes.

Oracle reports to display PDF/Excel files stored in the Database

can we use Oracle reports to view/display PDF/Excel files stored in the Database? Thanks Lalitha

A document stored in the database can be easily retrieved in or via the browser using mod_plsql. Simplified:
select content, mime_type
into v_blob, v_mime_type
from ...
owa_util.mime_header(nvl(v_mimetype,'application/octet'),false);
htp.p('Content-length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(v_blob));
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(v_blob);So, the link in your report should point to this database procedure.

Can't email MS-Word, Excel files

I am trying to email MS-word and excel files from those programs. I select File, Send to, but the send to mail recipient option is not operative. I can't select it, its not illuminated. Any ideas how to fix this so I can email MS-word and Excel files?

Hi,
Whether you use office 2013.
Considering this .doc file can be smoothly opened in Office if you downloaded it to your local, it indicates that the Word document and Microsoft Word doesn’t have any problems. The issue may be caused by the compatibility between Office
and your site.
1.Check whether you have the SharePoint OpenDocuments Class add on enabled at first.
Internet Explorer >Tools iron > Manage add-ons >
Choose to Show All add-ons. Find SharePoint OpenDocuments Class and make sure it’s enabled.
2.go to Compatibility view settings > add your SharePoint site to compatibility view
3.go to Internet Options,
Advanced > Reset… > Check Delete personal settings and reset
Security > Trusted sites > sites > add SharePoint sites to trusted sites
4.If it doesn’t work, please open Word, go to Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Protected View > Uncheck all.
Best Regards,

Follow steps 1 and 2 of this tutorial and you will be able to get a jpg file for each of your book's pages inported into iPhoto: 06 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book. If you don't have the Automator workflow Save PDF to iPhoto (which should be in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder) you can download it from Toad's Cellar.

Best ways to view/display PDF/Excel files stored in the Database

What are best ways to display/view PDF/Excel files stored in the Database? thanks L

Thanks tom, sorry let me explain. Currently we have oracle forms screen, using webutil to store/view files into DB. client won't like the interface, they want us to make it more friendly, drag and drop if possible, load multiple files, as possible.. So I am exploring different ways to improve may be java (or jdev/any any other), different screen designs, different features for fileupload/download/view options.

How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X?

How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X? I'd like to modifiy the file which I have only as a PDF/A.

There's two answers if you want to modify the file:
You can temporarily turn off PDF/A Mode in your preferences, so they don't open as read-only. The problem would be if you do something to the file that violated the PDF/A standard, so you should always run a Preflight check afterwards to make sure.
If you want to remove the PDF/A header tag, use Preflight again - it's on the Print Production Panel in Acrobat X Pro (which may be hidden, use the options menu on the Tools Pane to show it). There's a profile called "Remove PDF/A information" - choose this and press Analyze and Fix. Nothing else about the file will be altered but when you save and reopen it all the editing tools will become active.

Currently use acrobat 6. getting box that states: can't find adobe pdf resource files... need help

Getting a box that states: can't find
adobe pdf resource files... need help!!!

I get a similar error, but only under the following conditions: I must be printing to the Adobe PDF printer and printing multiple pages, one at a time, and then it only happens on the second and subsequent print attempts. That is to say, the first page prints just fine and this just started yesterday afternoon. The specific file referenced in the error does not exist, but why would it work the first time and not the second? Since it only started yesterday, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling this morning, but it made no difference. I don't see anything under print properties like job-options and it is a single user, unshared printer. Thoughts? I understand the same thing is happening in at least one other of our locations, but no one there has looked into it yet. This is a BIG problem for me, however, and I need to find an answer quickly.
