How to display images in BI Publisher from a LONG data type

We are storing images in Oracle Database as LONG data type. When I am giving query in BI Publisher and view the XML generated, I am getting the following error.
name was started with an invalid character. Error processing resource 'http://.......

Can anyone suggest the solution?

Hi
my problem is, for each job_id there is many users. Oh that's something completlty different...
I Strongly Recommand to_
1.*create 2 tables Jobs & users*
2.*create a relation between them* 1 to many to get for each job more than a user that's the way that Must be -- execuse me the bad design of the db pulled u into this trap -
3.then u can deal with it normally no need to a sample code but just a form with Jobs as (Master) and Users as (detail) with a relation and with a simple query u can display each job_id is for many users.
no null values no commas r needed.
Hope this helps...

Don't store the images in the database. Store the image file names in the database and put the images in a folder.

How to display images on my internal isight?

Hi,
I just bought the new iMac 2 gig dual. Running on 10.5.2.
I wanted to know how to display images on my screen during a video conference chat without resorting to holding up a print out to the camera? I need something where I can switch from video mode to image mode and show a single image at a time if I need to. All that while still talking of coarse. If it isn't possible with my iSight software, can you point me to other software I can download and still use my built in cam?
I hope I was clear enough in asking this.
Thanks
Liban

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Liban
iChat can do what you want, but I do not know of any web-based video chat site that can.
Look for Help or Support information on the site you are using or ask the Webmaster if his site has the capability to do what you want.

Hi Srini,
If you go through the article you might have seen the following piece of code
*** Send the values back to the node
lo_el_z_if_test_cv->set_static_attributes(
EXPORTING
static_attributes = ls_z_if_test_cv ).
" here ls_z_if_test_cv has the image in XSTRING format which has beeen retrived using METHOD get_bds_graphic_as_bmp of CLASS cl_ssf_xsf_utilities
" In your case you need to just use the select query n fetch it from your table; ( provided your image is store in XSTRING format )
How is your image stored in your database table ?

How to display images and information

how to display images and information(e.g. like questions) on a jsp page that stored in a database

Look As far as i can see....
Utlimately every file could be expressed as a bytes buffer.
so say if you have a bean called Choice Bean which is expressed as
public class ChoiceBean{
   private String choiceid;
   private String choicedesc;
   private byte image[];
   public void setChoiceId(String choiceid){
          this.choiceid = choiceid;
    public String getChoiceId(){
           return this.choiceid;
      public void setChoiceDesc(String choicedesc){
           this.choicedesc = choicedesc;
       public String getChoiceDesc(){
           return this.choicedesc;
       public void setImage(byte image[]){
              this.image = image;
         public byte[] getImage(){
              return this.image;
}QuestionList.java:
===============
public class QuestionList{
     private List<ChoiceBean> choicelist;
      /*Other member variable declarations*/
       public List<ChoiceBean> getChoiceList(){
                /*Custom code where you may build the list by querying the DA layer*/
                 return this.choicelist;
     public int search(String choiceid){
             int index = -1;
             for(int i =0 ; i < this.choicelist.size() ; i++){
                    ChoiceBean cb = this.choicelist.get(i);
                     if(cb.getChoiceId().equals(choiceid)){
                            index = i;
                            break;
             return index;
    /* Other member method declarations */
}and you are retreving List<ChoiceBean> from DB using your query & have created a session attribute / <jsp:useBean> named ChoiceList
NOTE: sometimes your application server can go out of bounds as you are consuming a lot of memory by creating an arraylist object.
use the following methodology to display images & choices
sample.jsp:
=========
<jsp:useBean id="QuestionList" class="com.qpa.dao.QuestionList" scope="session"/>
<TABLE>
<%
/* QuestionList.getChoiceList() is a method which fetches data from the DB & returns it in form of List<ChoiceBean> */
List<ChoiceBean> choicelist = QuestionList.getChoiceList();
for(int i =0 ; i < choicelist.size() ; i++){
%>
<TR>
<TD><%!=choicelist.get(i).getChoiceId()%></TD>

<TD><IMAGE src="ImageServlet?choiceid=<%!=choicelist.get(i).getChoiceId()%>"/> </TD>
<TD><%!=choicelist.get(i).getChoiceDesc()%></TD>
</TR>
<%
%>
</TABLE>
<%
    session.remove("QuestionList");
%>
NOTE: usage of JSTL or any other custom built tag-libraries makes life more simpler in the following case
ImageServlet.java:
===============
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        byte buffer[] = null;
        HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
        /*getting the QuestionList from the session*/
        QuestionList ql = null;
        String choiceid = new String("");
        try{
             choiceid = request.getParameter("choiceid");
             /*getting the QuestionList from the session*/
            ql = (QuestionList) session.getAttribute("QuestionList");
        } catch(Exception exp){
        if(choiceid.equals("") == false && ql != null ){
            List<ChoiceBean> clist = QuestionList.getChoiceList();
               assuming that you have created a serach method which searches the entire choice list and would give you
               the index of that object which is being refered by unique choiceid and returns -1 if not found
            int index = QuestionList.search(choiceid);
            if(index != -1){
               ChoiceBean cb = clist.get(index);
               buffer = cb.getImage();
        if(buffer != null){
             // assuming that we have stored images in JPEG format only
             JPEGImageDecoder decoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGDecoder(new ByteArrayInputStream(buffer));
             BufferedImage image =decoder.decodeAsBufferedImage();
             response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
             // Send back image
             ServletOutputStream sos = response.getOutputStream();
             JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(sos);
             encoder.encode(image);
        } else {
           response.setContentType("text/html");
           response.getWriter().println("<b>Image data not found</b>");
}However,i still feel there are few loopholes with this approach where Application Server can eat up a lot of heap space which may result in outofmemorybound exception.
Hope this might help :)

How to display first row value returened from a query as checked as default in a report

How to display first row value returned from a query as checked as default in a report
Example
Parameter 1
Paramerter2
ABD
x(checked)
Test
DEF
JMG
Mudassar

Hi Mudassar,
The issue is caused by the order in which the parameters appear in the report data tab can be difference between our report execution and it failing. In other words, “Parameter2” is execution before parameter “A” due to this issue. We can adjust the parameter’s
order to solve the issue.
If “Parameter2” is parameter “A”, we cannot use that expression. Because fields cannot be used in report parameter expression, if we want to display the first value returned from a query as default value, we have to fill the “Specify values” text box with
the specific value in Default Values dialog box.

How can I retrieve a LONG data type using ADO

In VB I am using an ADODB object to retrieve data from an Oracle table that has a LONG data type column...
specifically: SELECT TRIGGER_BODY FROM USER_TRIGGERS WHERE TRIGGER_NAME = 'MYTRIGGER'
I have tried using the GETCHUNK method but it only returns the first 150 or so characters no matter how
many times I call it???? here is the sample code I'm using........
Dim Cn As ADODB.Connection, Rs As ADODB.Recordset, SQL As String
Dim sChunk() As Byte
Set Cn = New ADODB.Connection
Set Rs = New ADODB.Recordset
Cn.CursorLocation = adUseServer
Cn.Open "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle.1;Password=hrzadmin;Persist Security
Info=True;UserID=hadmin;Data Source=xxx.local"
SQL = "SELECT trigger_body from user_triggers where trigger_name = 'MYTRIGGER'"
Rs.Open SQL, Cn, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly
Debug.Print Rs!trigger_name
Debug.Print Rs!trigger_body
sChunk = rs.Fields("trigger_body").GetChunk(500)
Debug.Print sChunk

I have a similar code which works for chunk size >400,
The image I am trying to retrieve is huge so the chunksize is also more.
Did you try with any non meta table?
For your reference I am pasting my application code below.
Hope it helps.

How to deal with LONG data type in RTF template

Hi,
I'm developing a PO request report in which I should print some attachments. The attachments are stored in the database in table fnd_attachments_long_text in column long_text which data type is LONG. In my case the content of the column long_text is always plain text.
The query I use to get the text from the table is something like:
select long_text
from fnd_documents_long_text
where <some_conditions....>
The query runs fine in SQL developer but when I run the XML report I get following error: "Stream has already been closed". The XML file generated is complete in its structure but the XML node which should contain the text of the attachment is empty, therefore I cannot print the attachment in the report.
I made some researches on metalink and I've found note 832903.1 which explains the same error I'm getting. Looks like I cannot execute more than 1 query using the same JDBC connection if one of these queries retrieves a LONG data type.
Any advice on how can I get the attachment text to show correctly in my report?
Thank you

Hi,
Thank you for your reply,
Yes, I tried to get the text as described in that article but maybe I'm missing something because my data template doesn't show the attachment text.
The article talks about support for BLOB, CLOB and RAW and at the end it states "but we do not have support for RAW and LONG column types at the moment - we're looking into that for a future release". So this makes me think that I won't be albe to retrieve my text since it's stored in a LONG column.
I think that the error I'm getting is not strictly related to XML publisher but it is in some way related to the JDBC connection used to get the data. Infact I have an old version of the same report I'm trying do develop which is made in Report Builder and it is retrieving the attachment text correctly.
Right now I'm trying to use the Report Builder engine to get the XML data and then use XML Publisher to create the PDF output. Anyway, if it is possible, I would like to avoid Report Builder and use only XMLP.
Thanks

Retrieve data from LONG data types

Hi,
I am trying to retrieve data from LONG data types with following query.
select * from all_views where upper(text) like '%TABLE_NAME%';
In above query text column has long datatype. This query works for varchar, but it returns an error for long.
How can I modify the query so that it returns data from text column.
Thanks in advance,
Aditya

You can't use any expressions against LONG. One solution is to use PL/SQL:
BEGIN
    FOR v_rec IN (SELECT * FROM ALL_VIEWS) LOOP
      IF UPPER(v_rec.text) LIKE '%TABLE_NAME%'
        THEN
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_rec.text);
      END IF;
    END LOOP;
END;

Error in getting Long data type from Table

Hi All,
I have one table say xx_long. In this table one column is having Long data type.
Now I want this values will get in to the PL/SQL variable. I taken variable data type as long but it is showing error "ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype".
Sample code with which I tried:
declare
a long;
begin
select slno into a from xx_long where slno = 100;
dbms_output.put_line('Value:'||a);
end;
Please help me on this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

LONG columns cannot appear in certain parts of SQL statements:
WHERE clauses, GROUP BY clauses, ORDER BY clauses, or CONNECT BY clauses or with the DISTINCT operator in SELECT statements
The UNIQUE operator of a SELECT statement
The column list of a CREATE CLUSTER statement
The CLUSTER clause of a CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW statement
SQL functions (such as SUBSTR or INSTR)
Expressions or conditions
SELECT lists of queries containing GROUP BY clauses
SELECT lists of subqueries or queries combined by the UNION, INTERSECT, or MINUS set operators
SELECT lists of CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT statements
SELECT lists in subqueries in INSERT statements

How to insert in long data type column

I would like to know how could I insert data in a long data type column.

Don't use LONG, use CLOB instead. You can write to CLOBs using the DBMS_LOB package.

so much wrong with this post...
a) use the code tags to format the code. Now it is an unreadable mess
b) scriptlets in your JSP. I don't even want to look at that mess. Learn how to combine servlets and JSPs to create clean, readable and maintainable code in which view logic and business logic are separated. The rule: no java code in your JSP, only tags and EL expressions (learn about JSTL).
So you get a blank screen. When you do "view source" in your browser, do you see anything there? If nothing, check if you are behind a proxy server. The solution to a post of not too long ago was that the blank screen was being caused by faulty proxy server settings (the user figured it out himself, I don't know what was done to solve it).
If all this fails you will have to do some debugging magic using your favorite IDE. It will probably be something stupid you are overlooking in the code. It is annoying, but debugging code that does not work is a big part of your job. Better get good at it.

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
