How to display BLOB images from the Oracle database within Crystal

Let's say a have the following table
IMAGES
========
DOC_ID NUMBER
DOC_NAME STRING
DOC_IMAGE BLOB
The BLOB field can have any type of document: PDF, email, WORD, EXcel, etc. I would like to present the DOC_ID and DOC_NAME and let the user click any of them. Once the user clicks the document stored in the database as BLOB, it is rendered using the default application associated to the extension. For example if the file name is ABC.XLS open MSExcel if the file is abc.pdf open Acrobat.
I am using Crystal2008 and evaluating Crystal 4.0
Does this requires programming?
Thanks!!!

Hi
Crystal is a reporting tool and you canu2019t execute any code except free hand SQL.  When you pull any BLOB fields in crystal, it takes as a picture field and if that field contains image only it will display in your report.
If you have any information other than image, it will not display any info in the report.
If you want to insert Word , PDF and Excel then you will have to insert as ole object and can manage with location of the files.
Thanks,

  • How can i save the data from the Oracle database to my local directory

    How can i save the data from the Oracle database to my local directory instead Of saving the data file to the Directory created on the Oracle Server ?
    I require to design the Procedure which will pull the data from various tables and needs to store the data in the Client's local directory.

    Since SQL*PLUS runs on the client, you can use SQL*PLUS to spool data to your local drive.
    You could also use the database to write a a specified drive where all users have access to (mapped network drive, e.g.). I wouldn't recommend doing it that way, but it is sometimes useful when the files are created in some nightly batch run.

    Hello,
    The easiest way to load a blob is to use SQL loader.
    This example comes from the utilities guide:
    LOAD DATA
    INFILE 'sample.dat'
    INTO TABLE person_table
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
    (name CHAR(20),
    1 ext_fname FILLER CHAR(40),
    2 "RESUME" LOBFILE(ext_fname) TERMINATED BY EOF)
    Datafile (sample.dat)

  • How to insert a image file into oracle database

    hi all
    can anyone guide me how to insert a image file into oracle database now
    i have created table using

    but when inserting i totally lost don't know what to do how to write query to insert image file

    Hi I don't have time to explain really, I did have to do this a while ago though so I will post a code snippet. This is using the commons file upload framework.
    Firstly you need a multi part form data (if you are using a web page). If you are not using a web page ignore this bit.
    out.println("<form name=\"imgFrm\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" action=\"FileUploadServlet?thisPageAction=reloaded\" onSubmit=\"return submitForm();\"><input type=\"FILE\" name=\"imgSource\" size='60' class='smalltext' onKeyPress='return stopUserInput();' onKeyUp='stopUserInput();' onKeyDown='stopUserInput();' onMouseDown='noMouseDown(event);'>");
    out.println("   <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit' class='smalltext'>");
    out.println("</form>"); Import this once you have the jar file:
    import org.apache.commons.fileupload.*;Now a method I wrote to upload the file. I am not saying that this is correct, or its the best way to do this. I am just saying it works for me.
    private boolean uploadFile(HttpServletRequest request, HttpSession session) throws Exception {
            boolean result = true;
            String fileName = null;
            byte fileData[] = null;
            String fileUploadError = null;
            String imageType = "";
            String error = "";
            DiskFileUpload fb = new DiskFileUpload();
            List fileItems = fb.parseRequest(request);
            Iterator it = fileItems.iterator();
            while(it.hasNext()){
                FileItem fileItem = (FileItem)it.next();
                if (!fileItem.isFormField()) {
                    fileName = fileItem.getName();
                    fileData = fileItem.get();
                    // Get the imageType from the filename extension
                    if (fileName != null) {
                        int dotPos = fileName.indexOf('.');
                        if (dotPos >= 0 && dotPos != fileName.length()-1) {
                            imageType = fileName.substring(dotPos+1).toLowerCase();
                            if (imageType.equals("jpg")) {
                                imageType = "jpeg";
            String filePath = request.getParameter("FILE_PATH");
            session.setAttribute("filePath", filePath);
            session.setAttribute("fileData", fileData);
            session.setAttribute("fileName", fileName);
            session.setAttribute("imageType", imageType);
            return result;  
         } And now finally the method to actually write the file to the database:
    private int writeImageFile(byte[] fileData, String fileName, String imageType, String mode, Integer signatureIDIn, HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception {
            //If the previous code found a file that can be uploaded then
            //save it into the database via a pstmt
            String sql = "";
            UtilDBquery udbq = getUser(request).connectToDatabase();
            Connection con = null;
            int signatureID = 0;
            PreparedStatement pstmt = null;
            try {
                udbq.setUsePreparedStatements(true);
                con = udbq.getPooledConnection();
                con.setAutoCommit(false);
                if((!mode.equals("U")) || (mode.equals("U") && signatureIDIn == 0)) {
                    sql = "SELECT SEQ_SIGNATURE_ID.nextval FROM DUAL";
                    pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
                    ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
                    while(rs.next()) {
                       signatureID = rs.getInt(1);
                    if (fileName != null && imageType != null) {
                        sql = "INSERT INTO T_SIGNATURE (SIGNATURE_ID, SIGNATURE) values (?,?)";
                        InputStream is2 = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileData);
                        pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
                        pstmt.setInt(1, signatureID);
                        pstmt.setBinaryStream(2, is2, (int)(fileData.length));
                        pstmt.executeUpdate();
                        pstmt.close();
                        con.commit();
                        con = null;
                if(mode.equals("U") && signatureIDIn != 0) {
                    signatureID = signatureIDIn.intValue();
                    if (fileName != null && imageType != null) {
                        sql = "UPDATE T_SIGNATURE SET SIGNATURE = ? WHERE SIGNATURE_ID = ?";
                        InputStream is2 = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileData);
                        pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
                        pstmt.setBinaryStream(1, is2, (int)(fileData.length));

                        pstmt.close();

            } catch (Exception e) {

  • How to display an image from database

    Hi all,
    I've saved an image(jpeg file) as BLOB item in the database through the forms.I need to fetch that particular image from the database and display the image in the report.How can i do that?
    I tried to fetch the column from the database and added a text item and selected the PHOTO column , the properties has changed once i selected the BLOB item.File format I changed to Image , But the width is 4 and I'm not able to change that.
    While executing I'm getting two errors,
    REP : 0069 Internal Error
    REP : 62203 Internal Error reading the image - Unable to render RenderedOp for this operation
    Please help me to solve this issue.
    Thanks in advance...

    Hello,
    Try to revert to the "old" way to render images :
    http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/topics/htmlhelp_rwbuild_hs/rwrefex/envvars/envvar_reports_default_display.htm
    To revert to the dependency on DISPLAY and use screen fonts (old font look up algorithm):
    Set REPORTS_DEFAULT_DISPLAY=NO.
    Remove the screenprinter.ppd entry in the uiscreenprint.txt file.
    Set the DISPLAY variable to the active X-Windows display surface.

    Hi
    To store your binary images in an Oracle database, you will need to create a column in your table defined with the BLOB datatype BLOB stands for Binary Large Object. Images from scanners, mpeg files, movie files and so on can all be stored in the BLOB column
    sq>CREATE TABLE test_table (
       id NUMBER,
       image BLOB);then go to

    I wrote an example for my students, you can find it here. It's using PHP as the front end but all you need to do is know how and leverage the stored procedures. All code is downloadable in zip files from the blog.

  • [Forum FAQ] How to display an image from Http response in Reporting Services?

    Question:
    There is a kind of scenario that users want to display an image which is from URL. In Reporting Services, if the URL points to an image file, we can directly display it by typing the URL in embedded image. However, some URLs are just sending Http requests
    to server side, then redirect to another position and the server will return the image. For these kind of URLs, Reporting Services can’t directly render the image from Http response.
    Answer:
    To achieve this goal, we can add custom code into the report. Pass the URL as argument into our custom function so that we can create HttpRequest and get the HttpResponse. Then we can use custom function to return the Bytes() from the HttpResponse and render
    it into an image in report.
    Ps: In Reporting Services, it only support drawing Bytes() array into image, so we need to have our custom function return Bytes array.
    Add the assembly and custom code into the report.
    Public shared Function GetImageFromByte(Byval URL as String) As byte() 
                    Dim photo as System.Drawing.Image 
             Dim Request As System.Net.HttpWebRequest 
           Dim Response As System.Net.HttpWebResponse 
                  Request = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(URL)         
                     Response = CType(Request.GetResponse, System.Net.WebResponse) 
                 If Request.HaveResponse Then  
                      If Response.StatusCode = Net.HttpStatusCode.OK Then                    
                           photo = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(Response.GetResponseStream) 
                     End If 
                 End If 
                  Dim ms AS System.IO.MemoryStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream() 
                 photo.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg) 
                    Dim imagedata as byte()  
                    imagedata = ms.GetBuffer()  
                    return imagedata
    End Function
    Grant the permission for assemblies. 
    Go to: 
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\RSpreviewPolicy.config 
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Reporting Services\ReportServer\rssrvpolicy.config
    Give “FullTrust” for Report_Expressions_Default_Permissions.
    Insert an image into report. 
    Expression:
    =Code.GetImageFromByte("https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSrVwPoAtlcA2A3KaiAJi-XjS4icr1QUnKYr7uzpX3IL3g2GPisAQ")

    Hi, I'd like to display a dynamic image from the web inside a JLabel or any other swing component it could work in. I've been looking on the Swing tutorials and others forums, all I can have is that a JLabel can load an Icon object, defined by an image URL, but can this URL be like "http://xxxxx/image.jpg" somehow or can it only be a local image URL?>
    I do not know why you start talking about an image on the web then go on to show concerns about whether it will work for a 'local' URL.
    But perhaps this answer will cover the possibilities.
    So long as you can from an URL to the image, and the bytes are available for download (e.g. some web sites wrap a direct call to an image in HTML that embeds the image), the URL based icon constructors will successfully load it.
    It does not matter if that URL points to
    - a web site,
    - a local server ('localhost'),
    - an URL representation of a File on the local file system, or
    - it is inside a Jar file that is on the application's run-time classpath.
    How you go about forming a valid URL to a 'local resources' (or indeed what you regard as local resources) is another matter, depending on the form of the project, and how the resources are stored (see list above).
    Probably the main reason that examples use images at a hard coded URL on the net is that it makes an 'image example' self contained. As soon as we compile and run it, we can see the result. I have posted a few examples like that on these forums.

  • How to view tagged images from the camera in Lightroom?

    How do I see a tagged image from the camera (tagged using the lock button, to remind me of a image I want to find quickly) once imported into Lightroom? This is possible to do in Photomechanic, as I can see all of the tagged images from the camera once opened in Photomechanic. Yet so far I have not found a way to allow me to do this in Lightroom so far. Any solutions welcome please.

    There isn't a way to do it that is part of Lightroom. There is a plug-in that might help you, though. Check it out here: Locktastic
    It doesn't say if its compatible with LR4, but you can try it to find out.
    Plug-ins aren't usually as efficient as built-in functionality (like PM), but it might be a solution for you.
