How to load externl files (PDF) into BLOB column. Please help.

Hi All,
I've currently been working on loading many external binary files (PDF) into BLOB column. After some digging, I learn that the SQL*LOADER can be used to load data from external files into table. I also got help from another forummate mentioning to use PL/SQL procedure to do so. Since I have not done anything like this before. So, my question is what is the simple approach needed to upload PDF files into a table(there is only one table containing BLOB column in my database). In addition, the LOBs can not be query-able, I wanted to list the contents of the LOBs column to make sure that I did successfully upload data into the database. How can I do that?. I do need your help. Please direct me step by step how to do so. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Trang

How to open a file form a blob column?

I'm storing some files in oracle 9.2 in a blob column, although i can't open them using php 4, I'm using this script :
<?php
 $SQL="SELECT ID_ARCHIVO,CONTENT";
 $SQL=$SQL." FROM ARCHIVOS_PRUEBAS ";
 $SQL=$SQL." WHERE ID_ARCHIVO =".$v_ID_ARCHIVO ;
 $c=OCILogon("$v_USER" , "$v_PASS" ,"$v_CONEXION" );
 $s = OCIParse($c,$SQL );
 if (!OCIExecute($s)) { print "execution failed"; exit(); }
 OCIFetchInto($s,&$arr,OCI_RETURN_LOBS);
 echo $arr["CONTENT"]->load();
 ?>
it shows this error
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in ov_archivo_detail_test.php on [echo $arr["CONTENT"]->load(); ].
I know the data is stored correctly since i used toad to save and open the blob file and it was ok, but i still can't find a right way to show the file from the web.

How to display binary file saved in BLOB column in Discoverer PLUS /VIEWER

HI, Friends,
I tried to display the binary file saved in the database in BLOB column with the *.doc or *.xls fomats, but it seemed not work at all. I can display them in discoverer DESKTOP, but not the web version PLUS or VIEWER. MY Discoverer PLUS/VIEWER version is 9.0.4.45.02 and the database is 9.2.0.4. Are there any special setting/configuration in somewhere (Discoverer administration/Applicaiton server/PLUS/VIEWER?)
Any help /information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Sorry but this feature is not available in the web version of 9.0.4.45. You will have to write your own mod_plsql function to download the file.

How to port a ABAP report into ITS? Please help!

Hi Experts,
 I have a ABAP report that contains a selection screen with 3 select-option elements and a search button. On pressing search button an ALV grid opens with data from a SAP table based on selection screen criteria.
I want to web enable it so that it can be accessed from Enterprise Portal. i will be using IAC iview in Portal.
Now the IAC iview needs my ABAP report to be ported to ITS?
1.How to port it to ITS? What are the steps?
2.In order to port in to ITS do I need to change my ABAP code?
3.Are there any known limitations of porting ABAP reports in ITS? For example Performance, ALV not supported, Table control not supported etc.
4. Does it handle dynamic programming?
5. Are there any documentation for porting report to ITS?
6. How much time effort it will be for porting ABAP reportys to ITS?
To add some more points. SAP transaction iview is not allowed in my organization. Webdynpro/BSP is also not supported. Thats why I am using IAC iview which needs ITS.
Please help
Thanks
Gopal

hi,
step1.create a transaction for ABAPreport in SE93.
step2.Go to transaction SICF and create a service in the following path sap/bc/gui/sap/its.
Check the following Url to create a service.
/people/durairaj.athavanraja/blog/2005/08/21/running-your-first-its-webgui-application-in-sap-netweaver-04-abap-edition--nsp
step3. create a system object setting the following property categories.
 1.Connector
 2.Usermanagement
 3.ITS
 4.WAS
In the usermanagement do the user mapping.
step4. While creating an IAC iview, in the third step for the Internet Application Component (IAC) property give the service name you have created in SICF.
you need not change the abap code. The only limitation while porting abap report in ITS is you cannot view the icons in the tool bar, instead you view the buttons.
ALV is supported. Functionality wise nothing will change except the appearance mainly with the icons.
Regards,
Gopi

Error when splitting a Table into two columns - Please help!

Hi!
I have created a table in which I have created a header which has been split into 3 parts conisting of 2 columns. These all work fine. However, when I try to split the row below the header row into 2 columns, it does so but, in a way, connects the line inbetween the two columns with the line inbetween the two columns above and will not allow me to move it left or right by manually changing specs or dragging the line. Please help! (I'm using CS5 by the way!) Thank you!

I suggest you begin with a pre-built CSS Layout. DW has several to help jump start your projects. Go to File > New Blank Page > HTML. Select a layout from the 3rd panel and hit CREATE. See screenshot.
Save this layout as test.html and begin building your prototype page saving and validating code often during your work sessions.

CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
Good luck with your project!

Loading font file in JWS. Urgent: please help!

Hi everybody,
I have my own font file which I use in the GUI. First I create the font:
     myFont = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT,           new FileInputStream("myfont.ttf"));
and then I use it specifying the size:
     textbox.setFont(myFont.deriveFont(18f));
This works when I run it from command line, but the above line gives me a nullPointerException from java web start.
I tried to use ClassLoader just like i do it to load images:
     ClassLoader cl = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
and do cl.getResource("myfont.ttf").
But the problem is getResource() returns URL, but FileInputStream does not allow it in the constructor.
So I tried:
     cl.getResource("myfont.ttf").getPath() and feed that into constructor of FileInputStream but still no luck.
Does anyone have an idea abt what I should do?
Thanks so much,
yulduz

try using:
ClassLoader cl = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
myFont = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, cl.getResourceAsStream("myFont.ttf:);

How to store pdf into blob, index it and search it?

I am trying to store pdf into a column, index the column and search it.
I store pdf file into blob column with either the following code or with an interface in apex
declare
Dest_loc BLOB;
Src_loc BFILE := BFILENAME('DIR_TESTCASE', 'intermedia.pdf');
BEGIN
INSERT INTO pdffiles(id, description)
VALUES(1, 'InterMedia Concepts')
RETURN text INTO Dest_loc;
DBMS_LOB.FILEOPEN(Src_loc, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);
DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE(Dest_loc, Src_loc, dbms_lob.getlength(Src_loc));
DBMS_LOB.FILECLOSE(Src_loc);
COMMIT;
END;
then i need to create an index
begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference('pdf
lexer', 'BASICLEXER');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('pdf_lexer', 'printjoins', '_-');
end;
create index PDFFILES_TEXT on PDFFILES(TEXT) indextype is ctxsys.context
parameters ('lexer pdf_lexer');
sqlplus says index created but windows gives an error and closes ctxhx.exe
and of cource when I tried to make a search like
select id, description
from pdffiles
where contains(text,'Oracle') > 0;
it doesn't return any results.
My database is 10g XE, I also tried it on Oracle 10.2.0.3 EE

It is possible to store pdf and doc files in a blob column, create a text index, and search them, and display them. However, you cannot expect to just select doc and pdf data directly from a blob column and expect to be able to read it, due to all of the special formatting characters. You need to use ctx_doc.snippet or ctx_doc.markup or some such thing to format it and make it readable. Please see the demonstration below. You can search the online documentation for complete syntax, additional information, and examples.
