Hi, have a problem to open documents Word:
My table is:
file_subjects;
NAME .............................VARCHAR2(4000)
SUBJECT.........................VARCHAR2(4000)
ID.....................................NUMBER
BLOB_CONTENT..............BLOB()
MIME_TYPE.....................VARCHAR2(4000)
...i created a report with column link , call to procedure DOWNLOAD_MY_FILE as URL:
#OWNER#.download_my_file?p_file=#ID#
My store procedure is:
create or replace
PROCEDURE download_my_file(p_file in number) AS
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
Lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT MIME_TYPE, BLOB_CONTENT, name,DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(blob_content)
INTO v_mime,lob_loc,v_file_name,v_length
FROM file_subjects
WHERE id = p_file;
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
-- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||replace(replace(substr(v_file_name,instr(v_file_name,'/')+1),chr(10),null),chr(13),null)|| '"');
-- close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
end download_my_file;
....i clicking on column link, generate the error:
Forbidden
The requested operation is not allowed
Help me, please.
