When accessing a file in the file system through the database there are two layers of permission.
Layer 1) The database user needs the right to read (or write) from this directory. Your user probably has this, but you could check it by looking at the data dictionary view all_directories and all_tab_privs.
Layer 2) The database itself needs access to this file. Database itself means the OS process runs with a specific user. Usually this OS-user is called oracle. The user oracle needs access to the OS folder and the file. If the file had been created by another user (e.g. root or user8731258) then somebody must give oracle the right to read this file (including folder).
I guess your problem comes from this second layer.

ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed (The data is invalid)

Dear All,
I am trying to insert a image file (gif) to one of my field.
1. Here is my table structure and trying to insert gif image file to PIC file.
SQL> desc cis2.david_pic
Name Null? Type
ID VARCHAR2(5)
PIC BLOB
2. I using sql command to create directory and the path is pointing where the DB
server was installed.
SQL> create or replace directory MY_FILES as '\\hkqaa-db1\TEXT_IMPORT';
3. Written a script to insert empty blob first and than trying to use the dbms_lob.fileopen
to upload the gif file.
SQL> declare
2 l_blob blob;
3 l_bfile bfile;
4 begin
5 insert into cis2.david_pic values ( '1', empty_blob())
6 returning pic into l_blob;
7 l_bfile := bfilename('MY_FILES', 'bess_signature.gif');
8 dbms_lob.fileopen(l_bfile);
9 dbms_lob.loadfromfile(l_blob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.getlength(l_bfile));
10 dbms_lob.fileclose(l_bfile);
11 end;

Can any tell me what wrong? is this the way to insert image?
Thanks

Know this is an old post: (for sharing sake.)
Please try avoiding
1. the 'hyphen' in between the path (hkqaadb1 instead of hkqaa-db1)
2. Give direct path like 'C:\TEXT_IMPORT' instead of network path.
create or replace directory MY_FILES as '\\hkqaa-db1\TEXT_IMPORT'; -- Not working.
create or replace directory MY_FILES as 'C:\hkqaadb1\TEXT_IMPORT'; -- Working.
and this worked fine.

Getting ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed in Windows XP

Hi All,
I am getting the error message
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed
when I attempt to call a stored procedure containing the following code.
bfile_in := BFILENAME( 'SP_IMPORT_NIF20_DIR', v_filename );
/* Open the input file */
DBMS_LOB.FILEOPEN(bfile_in);
It works fine on UNIX but fails when running on my Windows XP Pro Oracle 9i install. I suspect that it has something do to with the file permissions. I can get this same error on UNIX if the file permissions are not set correctly. I get it every time on Windows XP Pro even though I think that the file permissions are
set correctly. Perhaps the Windows XP Pro permissions are not as I think! or perhaps the Oracle instance needs to be granted access to the XP directories etc. I am not sure how this would be done.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

You have EXPLORER set to "Use Simple File Sharing". Uncheck that option for the folders and you will get the security tab.
I am not sure why you can't run Oracle as a specific user. I do this all the time. In fact, I create an Oracle group and add a user called Oracle and then configure that user/group for all the permissions it needs (and none it doesn't), environment set up, etc. and then run the service as that user. Can you get a specific error message?
As a side note, I am clueless why Oracle doesn't do this for you. They do on Unix installs.

Inserting image to table...ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed

Good day!
I'm just new with using databases, and i'm enjoying it.
So I read that you can insert images to a table, and so i decided to try it... and here's where I'm at..
*I made a directory
CREATE directory image_dir as 'D:\Images';
--Directory Created.
*I created a table
CREATE TABLE animages
(aname VARCHAR2(40),
breedno NUMBER(10),
image_file BLOB,
image_name VARCHAR2(40),
CONSTRAINT aname_fk FOREIGN KEY (aname) REFERENCES clist(aname));
--Table Created.
*Then I made a procedure for inserting the images
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE insert_image_file (p_aname VARCHAR2, p_breedno NUMBER, p_image_name IN VARCHAR2)
IS
src_file BFILE;
dst_file BLOB;
lgh_file BINARY_INTEGER;
BEGIN
src_file := BFILENAME('IMAGE_DIR', p_image_name);
INSERT INTO animages
     (aname, breedno, image_file, image_name)
VALUES (p_aname, p_breedno, EMPTY_BLOB(), p_image_name)
RETURNING image_file
INTO dst_file;
SELECT image_file
INTO dst_file
FROM animages
WHERE aname = p_aname AND image_name = p_image_name
FOR UPDATE;
DBMS_LOB.fileopen(src_file, DBMS_LOB.file_readonly);
lgh_file := DBMS_LOB.getlength(src_file);
DBMS_LOB.loadfromfile(dst_file, src_file, lgh_file);
UPDATE animages
SET image_file = dst_file
WHERE aname = p_aname AND image_name = p_image_name;
DBMS_LOB.fileclose(src_file);
END;
--Procedure Created.
*So i was able to do those but when i was trying to execute the procedure i get this error..
execute insert_image_file('African Elephant', 60, 'African_Elephant');

I've been looking for a solution for a day now, hope someone could help me, thanks.
BTW, I got the code for the PROCEDURE from a user named Aparna16, just did some minor editing so it would fit my tables, thanks.
And sorry if the post is too long.

Kindly help.

I had the same problem on centos (RHEL 5.2). It think maybe it is something to do with permissions with the folder to which you extract the software. I unziped apex download in the home for the super user /root then changed directory to /root/apex to do the install. In sqlplus connected as sys as sysdba the command @apxldimg.sql /root failed with ora-22288. My workaround was to copy the images to a different directory and then it worked. rm -rf /tmp/apex/images/ then mkdir -p /tmp/apex/images/ then cp -r /root/apex/images/* /tmp/apex/images/ then back in sqlplus @apxldimg.sql /tmp. This time it worked!

Hi guys,
Sybrand, aplogoies, the second line of the error stack was on one line in the first post, full error stack below:
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed
The program issued a command but the command length is incorrect.
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 716
ORA-06512: at "JLMS.LOAD_DATA_UTIL", line 417
ORA-06512: at line 2I have looked at that error code as you mentioned, but the second line here doesn't really help much.
Hoek, i took your advice and tried to replace FILEOPEN with OPEn but got the same error.
Just to clarify as well, I am not using UNC or relative file paths as I know that these can cause problems.

ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed

Hello,
I have a small db procedure that tries to load files into a tablecolumn using DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE.
I use: create or replace directory FILES_DIR as '\\server\Attachments';
this is the place where the files are located. I can access this directory using my Windows login.
When i then execute 'select DBMS_LOB.FILEEXISTS', it says '1', so ok so far.
Before I can load I have to open the file using DBMS_LOB.OPEN.
However, when I execute the procedure it gives me the error ORA-222888...
My DB-services are started using my Windows login.
If I try to map a network drive like z: = '\\server\Attachments', DBMS_LOB.FILEEXISTS says '0'.
How can it be that the DB says yes the file exists, but no I can't open it while the services are running with logins that can actually access the files?
I' ve searched the internet all day, is there a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Frank

when I use the mapped drive, the file doesn't even exists for the db:
DBMS_LOB.FILEEXISTS says '0'.
when I use the UNC format, the file actually exists but then gives the error ORA-2228 on DBMS_LOB.OPEN.
So I tried net use z: \\server\attachments /USER:x\y in cmd, but the file still doesn't exist for the db
I also tried 'net use \\machine\..' like you proposed but can't seem to understand it's meaning.
The actual question is how can I let the file exist for the db using a mapped network drive?

Hi
Is the 'CONC_OUTPUT' directory a DBA Directory? Run the query SELECT * FROM DBA_DIRECTORIES and see if this CONC_OUTPUT is a directory name. If not rather use one of the direcorties.

Hello SteveMRG,
What version of LabVIEW and NI DAQmx are you using? Does this error occur when the program is run from the development PC from the project? Can you create a debuggable executable and activate Highlight execution when the error occurs as to verify which state the program is in?

I am attempting to install Camera raw from a .zip file provided via a link provided by adobe for a Nikon D810. The .zip file unzips fine and I moved the files to the recommended folder. But the operation is failing

Can you describe what “the operation is failing” means? What is happening and how is it different than what you expect?
Also, what product are you trying to update manually, and do you have a link to the page of instructions, so we know what your attempting to do?

Problem when exporting to Vimeo I get message "The share operation has failed. Quicktime error: -50" The file only gets to 8% before this happens any idea how to fix I have a movie deadline to meet!

Hi all,
Finished editing a short movie.
Then went to share on vimeo but got this message - see also screenshot when I tried to export to desktop.
Problem when exporting to Vimeo I get message "The share operation has failed. Quicktime error: -50" The file only gets to 8%.
Have tried deleting my render files for the project and also another fix mentioned of deleting any black space files on the edit itself but neither work?
Just upgraded to OS Mavericks could this be causing it? If so how to downgrade?
thanks
Louis B

Thanks for your help both, I called Apple tech support and spoke to a really helpful chap called Andrea who helped me out. Now got my Master file sorted and am trying Vimeo upload again.
Just to clarify points for people out there with the same issue:
First steps
- Ensure background rendering is turned off in preferences
- Delete project and events render files
- If upgraded to Mavericks then go to FCPX in finder under applications hit buttons 'CMD' and 'I' together and tick the 'prevent App Nap' box.
Next Steps
I had already done all of this when Apple Tech spoke to me so we discussed the message 'Quicktime -50' and what it meant. It wasnt a purely generic error message but was not detailed enough to point to one specific issue. This problem had occurred in previous years (so Mavericks not wholly to blame) and patches were issued over the years by Apple to help resolve some of the problems.
The message essentially is indicating that there is a problem somewhere with the media in some way shape or form.
My export went to 8% then failed. Apple's answer was that the project settings were corrupted in some way.
So what they suggested (so simple I could kick myself) was to select all the media files by 'CMD + A' then copy them 'CMD + C' then create and open a new project timeline, and then paste in 'CMD + V'.
Then we tried export again this time to a master file with some settings detailed by Apple.
The difference now was it got to 40% then failed but due to a different reason 'error -1 frame 10124 error'
At last we get past the project issues and into the event media issues, it seems that when I loaded the compact flash last night, the iMac kept ejecting the reader so had to copy files over quickly and seems that some of the file clip I used although showed on the viewer, didn't seem to have loaded all the correct media, so selecting this clip frame 10124 on the viewer I found that it showed as red on the frame row which implied an issue. So I simply bladed it off and deleted it.
Then I reran the export to Master file and it worked, though jumping from 40% to 100% complete was a shock to me!
Now am trying the export to Vimeo - hope this helps some of you out there. Worst case pick up the phone to Apple and speak to the Final Cut Pro guys they can help.
best wishes,
Louis B
