Displaying image in BLOB via pl/sql cartridge

Hi gurus ,
I have a oracle web site. I am dynamically putting links in the page using pl/sql cartridge and procedures. I have loaded all my pictures for the catalog in the BLOB columns. Can anyone help me or direct me how to display these images using plsql cartridge dynamically from BLOB columns instead of from image files ???

Since this is the interMedia forum my suggestion would be to store the image data in an ORDImage column and use the interMedia WebAgent to retrieve the data.
The interMedia WebAgent can be used with "naked" blobs but you'll need to code your own pl/sql routines (the code wizard won't do it for you).
The code wizard does generate procedures for OrdImages but due to some reasons the GET_XX procedures don't work and give the error "ORA-04043 Object Get_Image does not Exist "

Hi all,
I m using,
Database : 10g Rel 2

OS : WinXp
Browser : IE 6
Problem : In my forms i m displaying images from blob column but some of the images are not displayed. I have tried with all image formats available in combination with all available display quality but no luck. What could be the reason for it and how do i solve it?
Can anyone help me plz?
Thnx in advance.

Hello,
It is very difficult for us to "guess" what images you can read and what others you cannot.
Maybe you could provide more information on images that are not displayed ?
What is their native format ?

Apex 4.0 display image item :BLOB column returned by SQL statement

Hello
I'm creating an display image item in apex 4.0. The source is a BLOB column returned by SQL statement.
When I'm issuing an sql statement like this:
   select lado.blob_content
   from   large_documents      lado
   ,        large_doc_headers    ladh
   where lado.ladh_nr = ladh.nr
   more criteriait works fine.
When I create a function inside a package with the same query (in a cursor)
function get_image(some parameters in) return blob
Following in apex by:
select get_image(some parameters) from dualI get a
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too smallAnybody any idea why this does not work?
Regards Erik

Hi Eric,
the environment assumes varchar2-output by default, which will be limited to 32767 characters and may have problems with binary formats. You could define a blob-variable to select the value into.
DECLARE
l_blob BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT get_image(some parameters)
    INTO l_blob
    FROM dual;
END;
/If you expect the BLOB-Content to be text (you should consider CLOB then), you may use UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2 to convert the content. If your object is larger than the maximum varchar2 size, or you want to convert BLOB to CLOB, you might be interested in some converter like described here: {message:id=559749}
Hope this is what you were searching for.

How to display images from BLOB column via APEX 4.0

Hello,
I did the following in order to display images of two Oracle records on the APEX page. I am using APEX Version : 4.0.1.00.03 , Oracle DB Version : 10.2.0.4.0.
1. Created An oracle table TEST_FORM
with 3 columns
( ID number, MIME_TYPE varchar2(255) , Image BLOB )
2. Inserted two records
10001, image/gif, ( actual image1)
10002, image/gif, ( actual image2)
3. created an Oracle procedure
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE show_my_form ( p_image_id IN test_form.id%type) AS
l_mime test_form.mime_type%type;
l_length NUMBER;
l_file_name VARCHAR2 (2000);
lob_loc test_form.IMAGE%type;
BEGIN
SELECT mime_type, IMAGE
, DBMS_LOB.getlength (IMAGE)
INTO l_mime, lob_loc, l_length
FROM test_form
WHERE id = p_image_id;
owa_util.mime_header(l_mime, false);
htp.p ('Content-length: ' || l_length);
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file (lob_loc);
END show_my_form ;
4. In Apex 4.0
step1. Created an interactive report on a new APEX page
step2. Specified the following in the Region Source
select id, mime_type, '<img src="#OWNER#.show_my_form ?p_image_id=#ID#" />' photo
from TEST_FORM
The column result shows as <img src="CCS.show_my_form?p_image_id=#ID#" />
I am unable to display the column image as a link to a proper image photo.
Could you please advise me if I missed anything ?
Thanks a lot.
Regards
Susanna

Maybe the space you have before the ? is causing issues. there shouldn't be any space.
Your procedure looks to be much the same of one that I have.
Have you granted execute on your procedure?
Also, what version DB are you running? This could be another issue: http://daust.blogspot.com/2006/04/xe-calling-stored-procedures.html
But anyway, you don't need to create your own procedure these days. You could do the following:
in your query, have a column: dbms_lob.getlength(blob) photo ; save, then in column attributes for that column, apply a format mask. There is usually a link below the text box for the format mask - BLOB Download Format Mask, which will help you build the format mask. But it is documented here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/advnc.htm#BCGGJHEF

Display image from BLOB field (png image)

Hello,
On my database i have a function which return BLOB (png image from a webservice)..
Is there some tutorial or sample code how to display a image froma blob field in oracle reports?
thank you

You can create a view and base your report on that view. The view would be something like:
create or replace view my_view as
select my_blob_function() image
from ...In your Report it would just be:
select image
from my_viewNow, I'm not sure if Reports supports png format, though.
There are many examples to be found, e.g.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B10602_01/orbr_dyngraph.htm

Display image file - BLOB on Report

You prompt reply would be appreciated.

Once htmldb.oracle.com is available again, you may have a look in my demo application:

Displaying image from BLOB from DB in Browser

I have a PL/SQL procedure to create a table with a BLOB image, mime type, key, etc. I can use another PL/SQL to load the images into the table. I have a PL/SQL procedure to get an image. I would like to call this procedure and pass the key parameter to display an image in a browser using HTML. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.

Use a java servlet to call your stored procedure (using jdbc), this will return the image as a java blob class. You can then write the java blob bytestream to the servlet response object, this should then appear in the browser.

Display image for BLOB Download link in Interactive Report

I have a table containing BLOB data and am displaying the table in an interactive report. I would like to replace the "Download" text link with an icon that represents the MIME type of the BLOB, but can't seem to find a way to make the substitution. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.
-Jeff

Hey Ben,
Thanks for the suggestion. I understand what you are saying, the problem is that when you have an interactive report that includes a BLOB and you use the built-in method for displaying a download link, it only gives you the option of using a text link. The method is outlined in the online help under:
Home > Advanced Programming Techniques> About BLOB Support in Forms and Reports > About BLOB Support in Reports
This is done by using the following syntax in the Number/Date Format of the column attribute of the BLOB:
DOWNLOAD:CC_DOCUMENTS:CONTENTS:ID::MIME_TYPE:FILENAME:UPDATED_ON::attachment:View
Where the last parameter is the link text. The only problem is that there is no option for substituting an image rather than the link text. That's what I'm trying to work around. Sorry if you new all of this already, but I wanted to explain what I've already done. Thanks for any help you can offer.

How to display image in blob field in ResultSet in SiteStudio?

I am running Site Studio 10gR4. For a custom page, I created a component that basically runs a query. The structure of the underlying data is a combination of Varchar2, Date and a single BLOB field. The blob field either contains a simple jpeg image, or nothing.
In my Page where I am looping through the data, how do I display the blob as an image?
Currently the code looks like this:
 
 <tr>
 <td></td>
 <td></td>
 <td></td>
 <td></td>
 <td></td>
 <td></td>
 <td></td>
 </tr>
 Field 1 is a blob and fields 5 and 6 are dates.
So really two questions:
1. How do I display field1 as an image?
Example:
doesn't do it. Is there a different function then getValue() that I should be using to get the blob contents?
2. I want to compare the date fields to todays date, and either change the color or conditionally display the fields. I could do this with basic taglibs from jsp. How do I do this with IDocScript?
Example:


Thanks, Ken

I actually don't know the answer to #1. If I were to guess, there's nothing out-of-the-box to handle blobs, so your best option is to write your own idoc function. Take a look at the How To component if you don't know how.
For #2, you almost have it right. Insert bold:

Displaying Image from Blob as part of JSP

Hi All,
In our application we need to display a image as part of a JSP .The image comes as Blob from DB .we are able to save that image local file system but the image is not getting rendered on JSP.We tried converting the Blob to byte[] also.
we are using the following tag
<h:graphicImage value="#{beanName.property}" />
that bean property is a byte array.

Hi,
We converted the Blob to byte array but even that does not seem to be working can anyone give the exact h:graphicImage tag that woorked without any servlet code to set it in response.
Its really urgent.
Thanks in advance

Can't selectively delete image datatype BLOB data on SQL Server

Hi all,
I have a huge amount of BLOB data on an SQL Server 2008 DB (10.0.5500), in a table with an image datatype column. I need to selectively delete it from datafiles using a where filter on the table.
I tried to use UPDATETEXT dbo.TBL_EMAILOUTBOUND_DSC.DESC_RAWDATA
@ptrval 0 NULL;
loading the pointer with a previous filtered select, according
documentation it should work, but it's not true. Do I make any mistake or forget something? If you need I can show the hole script.

You don't use #workspace_images# since that is for STATIC files, not images in a table..
