Hooks to networked image database.

I am looking for a workaround that might let me use lightroom as a "feeder" application to a larger image database that can also accept CMYK image files.
I have many thousands of corporate images many of which must be in CMYK format because my printers do not do a good job of RGB conversion.
Until some future version of Lightroom that might be network and CMYK aware, I would love to use lightroom to help me select new images from cameras, do color correction and create "initial" keywording that would accessible for new images within lightroom.
Then I could use lightroom for new images and also import these images into another program that would also let me see the legacy CMYK images and their keywords.
I know this would be duplication in many ways but until lightroom matures into a DAM (if ever) that can also handle CMYK it would be a workaround.
Any ideas?

In this book ( Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals Contents / Search / Index / PDF ) you can find that information:
Representing Large Data Types
In times gone by, the way to represent large data objects in the database was to use the LONG, RAW, and LONG RAW types. Oracle recommends that current applications use the various LOB types, such as CLOB, BLOB and BFILE, for this data.
See the Oracle9i Application Developer's Guide - Large Objects (LOBs) , for information about LOB datatypes.

It's only really good for Adobe document formats, if you want to be able to view and/or tag documents.

Migrating image database in Informix 9.21 to Oracle 9i

I am going to be migrating an image database from Informix 9.21 to Oracle 9i and am needing to know
what Oracle9i has to offer as far as options in storing large media types - image, video, audio, etc...
Specifically, does Oracle have anything comparable to Informix' smart blobspace? Is it possible to migrate
image data from Informix to Oracle? I know the migration kits only are available up to Informix version 7.
What does interMedia offer?

Hi,
I was unable to reproduce your problem. I carried out the following steps in attempt to replicate the issue:
1. I launched the workbench, version 10.1.0.2, selecting the Oracle Lite "Default Repository".
2. Using the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console, I created a user "rtdb" with the password "rtdb" on my target Oracle 9i database.
3. I captured a test Informix database, generating its source and oracle models.
4. I then proceeded to migrate the database to Oracle and supplied my target Oracle9i database information in the "Migration Wizard, Step 1 of 4: Destination Database Details", supplying rtdb/rtdb as the username/password.
5. My test database migrated with no such error messages reported.
If you carried out the migration steps as I have outlined above, and are still experiencing issues with a "Failed to connect" error, I would contact support.

Hilary

Image database

Hai java guys,
I need help from you for storing the images into a
database.Can anyone provide code for insert and
retrieve the image from sql-server as well as
oracle.For insertion i implement a class as
follows by using sql-server as backend.In the
imagetable image column is image type.After
execute this it is storing the image into image
column as some sort of string.is it right if so
how to retrive that image and save it to another
directory.
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class ImageBLOB
public static void main(String[] args )
byte[] buffer1 = new byte[1024];
     try
     File file1 = new File(args[0]);
          BufferedInputStream iStream1 =
new BufferedInputStream(new
FileInputStream(file1));
          int eof1 =
iStream1.read(buffer1);
     catch(Exception e)

Upload images & database fields at the same time

ASP VSBasic dreamweaver 8
I can browse & upload 2 images to the server using
aspupload (browse to
images click upload)
I can populate the MYSQL database using text fields &
recordset (enter data
in fields press save to upload)
I now need to work out the following on one button click
Browse & select first image
Browse and select second image
Pass the image paths to 2 text fields
upload the images
update the database
I end up with 2 images saved eg (C:\temp\image1.jpg &
C:\temp\image1.jpg)
A record in the data base with
Time
Date
"Path to image 1"
"Path to image 2"
The reason for the above is to keep the end user interface as
simple as
possible therefore the risk of them sending the wrong data is
reduced
Cheers

I'm not sure uploading several files at once is possible. I have yet to see anything like that.

Java ODBC image database with MS Access

hi ,
Can any one please tell me if it is possible to put and get image from MS Access database with java JDBC ODBC driver? If it is possible then what will be the data type in Access and java. Thanks in advance ��

I've not seen a data type in Access that would be
appropriate for iimages--and I believe Access may
still have an overall size limitation (this may have
been taken off in Access 2003). If this were Oracle, you'd be using a BLOB. But the reasoning that follows would be the same, regardless of database.
What I'e had best
luck doing is leaving the files in their native
format and storing them in directory structures to
keep them segregated if need be, and storing their
names and locations in the DB.This is what I've seen done. It makes little sense to stick the JPEG bytes in the database. You can't use them in a WHERE clause. They just kill database performance. morgalr's solution is a good one.

Creator and image databases

I'm trying to create an application that uses a database to store pictures along with other info. My question is, how can I retrieve the images from the database and show them in a paging setup like the Data Table component? So far I have been able to store and retrieve images in the database, but only able to retrieve them to a file. I have not been able to figure out how to show a picture retrieved from the database to the page itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use dropdownlist to select image (database driven)

Im building a web application in flash builder which will be database driven. The database will contain id (of product), name (of product), photofile (text string i.e photo1.jpg). i have the data/services up and running, i just need to get it so when the user selects a name from the dropdownlist the corresponding photofile is selected into the picture frame.
I know to turn the photofile text into a picture it will be something like this but not sure what code to insert into the <s:Image tag;
private function getPhotoURL(item:Object):String{
return "http://............./assets/"+item.photofile;

Editing Image database columns From Apex front End

Hello,
How is it possible to edit an image datatype in Application express. Suppose if i want to edit an existing i mage and replace it with an edited version and save the newly edited verison in the database.
Is it possible to edit and image from the front end itself.

Hello,
It depends exactly what sort of functionality you mean by 'edit', if you mean resize/scale and things like that then read the previous links I supplied.
If you mean duplicating the sort of functionality that Photoshop et al provide then yes it's probably possible, however it sounds like a huge amount of work to me (as in it would be a 'product' in it's own right).
If you can start defining limits as to what editing features you want to provide then I think it will help to define the scale of your task, otherwise if you're just saying 'edit' as a catch-all phrase then I think you have a lot of work ahead of you (interesting work...but a lot of it ;).

Large Images Database Management

I want to know that can I store my images (of size nearly 1 GB each with JPEG 2000 extension) directly in database (SQL server)? or will I store them in server directory,
like in folder structure by year vice order? which one is better? In SQL server option what implementation strategy will be preferable?

You can map a drive letter to the UNC path as you can any other share. For example:
NET USE D:
\\YourServer\ServerShare\DatabaseDirectory\FileTableName
Below is a tested example of triggers to maintain the meta data table. Slightly different than the example David provided but you get the idea. This will associate the meta data with the parent folder and images within whenever an image
file is created, updated or deleted. The expectation is that the XML file is created/updated before the image file.

Network speed Database - CI

Hello,
does anyone have any official document that reccomends the Network speed required between Database instance and central instance?
Thanks& Regards,
Andi
I can find not find ANY official doc from SAP so assume I can use my 14.4k modem line from the Database Server in Scotland to the central instance in The Netherlands and it'll work just fine

Hi,
>so assume I can use my 14.4k modem line from the Database Server in Scotland to >the central instance in The Netherlands and it'll work just fine
Of course you can, and you'll have plenty of time to drink plenty of coffee !
The real answer is obvious : you need the fastest possible network speed.
100 Mb/s is good. 1 Gb/s is better !

Hooking to network

I just plugged my new mac in. I am trying to network it with 2 servers. I keep getting an error that there was a problem connecting to the server. The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Is there a way to fix get these macs hooked up without buying 2 new servers?
Thanks!

I know I keep reading (don't use) how Lion (and seems every new OS changed the rules).
Lot of good tips and hits:
http://www.bing.com/search?q=mac+os+x+lion+connect+to+server+with+afp%3A%2F%2F+n ot+smb
As previously mentioned, OS X Lion does not support logging into NAS boxes running Samba or AFP servers that employ the DHCAST128 authentication method. Apple documented this as a security update, in which they outright disabled DHCAST128 in Lion.

Lion's broken connectivity to NAS and AFP servers
Friday, August 5, 2011
It seems like any new release of Mac OS X breaks some aspect of file sharing with non-Apple devices. This was true for Leopard, and Snow Leopard had (and still has) problems with SMB file sharing. With Lion, Apple replaced the under-the-hood workings of both SMB (Samba) and the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP). Almost immediately, users discovered that Mac OS X 10.7.0 has an incompatibility with many network attached storage (NAS) devices using AFP as well as other AFP file servers. Most NAS devices support both AFP and SMB, but Mac OS X's Time Machine backup software requires AFP.
For users, the Apple-provided workaround can prove tricky to work around than it first appeared. Readers have reported by success and failure with the procedure. Lion users who try to access some AFP devices get the error message:
The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem.
The problem is with the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) and applies to NAS devices and other AFP servers, including Novell servers. (Group Logic's ExtremeZ-IP is not affected.) Time Machine, Lion's backup software, uses AFP to connect to NAS devices. NAS devices that use SMB file sharing are not affected by this problem. There are also reports around the Internet that the problem affects Mac OS X Server 10.6.
The issue incompatibility arises from Apple dropping support for most authentication types, including the widely used DHX (DHCAST128) and clear text. Lion now uses only DHX2 authentication. Apple's workaround is to use the command line in Terminal to turn on other authentication methods. (More specifically, to remove the older authentication methods from a disabled list.)
Apple says the reason for the change is that DHX2 is more secure than other versions. That could be, but there is more than authentication that's different. Lion is now using a more recent version of Netatalk, v 2.2, which is the AFP client/server file sharing software used in Mac OS X and many NAS devices. Netatalk 2.2, in tern supports AFP 3.3. Most NAS devices are not using the new version of Netatalk, and will have to update their firmware. Several have announced that they are doing just that.

Network or database calls are made when joining more than one table

Hi Friends,
could anybody please let me know how may networks are called when joining more than one table.
Thanks
Rinky

Hi Rinky,
Normally when a JOIN between two database tables is made then following steps occur:-
1) The control goes to database. Based on the JOINING and WHERE condition, an internal table is created in the DATABASE only which is filled. So here the computation is done at DATABASE level.
2) Once the internal table is filled at database level, it is sent back to the application level.
A Join operation normally minimizes the round trips to the database as most of the computation is done at database level only and results sent back to the Application layer.
<b>Thus for a simple JOIN OPERATION makes a single DATABASE call.</b>
NOTE: If you are satisfied with the explanation, then please reward points
accordingly :).
Thanks and regards,
Ravi .
