How to manage image in a column of a table

Hi all,
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.2 and ADF faces.
I would like to have a table with a column to save an image. After that I would like to have a page .jspx that visualize the fields of the table, including the image.
I would like to know how I have to do:
1) in the database to save the image
2) to visualize and manage images on my .jspx page
I have read something on the forum and googling, but I have found threads of one-two years ago, and I don't know if they give to me the right solution for my version of Jdeveloper.
Can you give me a step by step procedure to solve my problem? Do you have any links to suggest me?
Regards
Andrea

We did a web app a while ago and used image files for warehouse to show images of parts
1. BLOB
2. We didn't use adf. also I am using 10.1.3.4.

How to Insert Image in a Column of a table

Hi
I have read several documentations but still could not find any relevant one that can help me in inserting a image in a BLOB column of a table.I have read about DBMS_LOB but still not clear how to insert an image in the table.
I followed following steps :
create table Emp_Identity(Id Number,Photo BLOB);
Insert Into Emp_Identity(1,'d:\vishal.bmp');
Please tell me steps to be followed.

My table structure is:

Hi,
I could actually insert an image in a BLOB type column from the backend(Sql plus) not directly but by using BFILE and see that image on the frontend (Forms 6i Developer 2000,Item type is Image as there is nothing like BLOB/BFILE in front end) using the following procedure :
IS there any way I can insert an image directly in a BLOB column from the backend rather than using BFILE?
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE loadLOBFromBFILE_proc IS
Dest_loc BLOB;

** SOUND_DIR is a logical directory created by giving path of the server
** Create Directory SOUND_DIR as 'd:\u020\o816\ctx\test'

** test is the dummy testing directory created on the server
** 123w.bmp is lying in the test directory
Amount INTEGER ;
BEGIN
Amount := DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(Src_loc);
SELECT photo INTO Dest_loc FROM test_lob
WHERE ID = 1

How to show icon in a column of a table?

How to display an icon in a column of a table UI element and this icon is to be displayed based on values in the table row?

I normally use a calculated attribute inside the table's data source node for this.
Add an attribute "Icon", type=string, calculated=true, read-only=true, under the data source node.
(If the data source node uses structure binding and does not allow to add an attribute, add a helper value node instead, cardinality=1:1, selection=1:1, and add the attribute to this node.)
In the get-method for the calculated attribute, you get the node element corresponding to the table row as parameter. Depending on other attributes in this node element, select an icon URL and return it.
If you put your icons inside the src/mimes/<component> folder, you can simply return the file name of the icon.
Don't use a Button as table cell editor but rather an Image or LinkToAction.

How to add description of a column of a table in SQL Azure

Hi
I have some tables in my application database where there are descriptions added against certain columns. Needless to say they were done by using sp_addextendedproperty.
Now I am trying to migrate the Database to SQL Azure. SQL Azure does not support sp_addextendedproperty.
Hence I am not able to figure out how to add descriptions to those columns.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Soumyadeb

Hello,
Just as Latheesh post above, Windows Azure SQL database are not support extended stored procedures. That’s one of the limitations on SQL database, and I don’t know there is another way to achieve the same on Azure.

How to get the selected rows & columns in the table?

hi everybody,
In my application the table is kept inside the event structure.I select the cells in the table (using mouse) on running time.How to get the selected number of rows & columns in that table?

Hello,
You can fill selected values of the table by writing to it or the corresponding property using a property node - the table is just a 2D array of strings. I think for your "disable" question you are referring to the shortcut menu (when you right click). If you are using LabVIEW 8.x, you can edit or disable that shortcut menu - just right click on your table at edit time and choose Advanced >> Run-Time Shortcut Menu.

X C 10
T D 20

Thanks in advance !!
Regards,
Vissu....

Below code might be solution for finding NULL valued in columns in a table and if it is solution .kindly give me points for the same.
declare
cursor col_cur is
select column_name
from user_tab_cols -- all_tables can also be used in case the table is present in own schema
where table_name = 'TABLE_NAME'; --provide the TABLE_NAME
stmt varchar2(1000):= '';
v_count number;
count_null number;
begin
execute immediate 'select count(*) from TABLE_NAME' into v_count; --provide the TABLE_NAME
for rec in col_cur loop
execute immediate 'select count(*) from TABLE_NAME' where --provide the TABLE_NAME
'||rec.column_name||' IS NULL' into count_null;
if count_null = v_count then
stmt :=stmt|| rec.column_name ||chr(13);
end if;
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line(stmt);

How can I find number of columns in a table using a query

Hi
I want to find the number of columns in a table using a query.
Any help in this regard is much appreciated.
Cheers

Hi,
This is the output i get when i executed ur query
OWNER OBJECT_NAME OBJECT_TYPE
SMLDBO T2311_SURVEY_QUESTIONS TABLE
select OWNER,OBJECT_NAME,OBJECT_TYPE
from all_objects
where OBJECT_NAME = 'T2311_SURVEY_QUESTIONS';
works Fine.
But if i use the below query it returns : 0
SELECT count(*) FROM user_tab_columns
WHERE table_name =upper( 'T2311_SURVEY_QUESTIONS');
What could be problem.
The table exists + name of the table is correct + it resides in my schema itself.
Any guess !!!

Using ODBC how do you identify a calculated column in a table?

I've a calculated column in my table. Is there a way to identify that column through ODBC functions? I need to identify the calculated column and make it read only. The function should support both SQL and Access databases. Please let me know if
there is a way to find out this column type.

Hello,
You can refer to the following article which list some ODBC Scalar Functions which you can used in the T-SQL query statement.For example
SELECT {fn TRUNCATE( 100.123456, 4)};
-- Returns 100.123400
Reference:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb630290.aspx
As per my understanding, there is no built in declarative support for read-only columns. You can try to create a UPDATE trigger to achieving this. Or you can create a view with derived column from the source table. And then users cannot
update this calculated column on the view.

Dear thread users!
You have here (in my post in this thread - see above) good example for inappropriate post in one thread.
I posted to fast - I didn't realise am I sure what I wrote!
Consequence was that, after posting, I asked myself is it correct my statement about rights on SYS-objects, I started to search for answer, etc.
So what I want to say is: if you don't want to find yourself foolish, like I found myself, don't post before you are sure is it correct what you wrote!

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

How to manage image without save it on db

dear all,
my goal is don't store image into db but only save the path that ponit to them in a db tupla.
Is this achievable?
Thanks in advance
kind regards
carmelo Pace

Yes. You can either create a BFILE type (which is just a pointer to a file on the file system) or you can store the path in a VARCHAR2 column.
Of course, with either solution, updates of images will not be transactional and you'll have to ensure that the data in the database remains synchronized with the data on the file system (i.e. if an image is deleted from the file system, you'd have to delete the corresponding row(s) from the database, if there is a failure and you restore a backup, you'd have to restore the file system backup at the same time.

How to Update the oracle toad column value in table by using SSRS 2008

Hi Team,
How to update the oracle DB table column value by using SSRS 2008.
Can any one help me on this.
Thanks,
Manasa.
Thank You, Manasa.V

Hi veerapaneni,
According to your description, you want to use SSRS to update data in database table. Right?
Though Reporting Services is mostly used for rendering data, your requirement is still can be achieved technically. You need to create a really complicated stored procedure. Pass insert/delete/update and the columns we need to insert/delete/update as
parameters into the stored procedure. When we click "View Report", the stored procedure will execute so that we can execute insert/delete/update inside of the stored procedure. Please take a reference to two related articles below:
Update Tables with Reporting Services – T-SQL Tuesday #005
SQL Server: Using SQL Server Reporting Services to Manage Data
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How does Toggle Visible for a Column in a Table work ?

Hi All,
I have a question for you.
Using version 11.1.1.7:
I was playing with a use case where I need to show and hide columns in an af:table component.
I want to do this clientside using javascript.
Guess what: It works, however, it only works for hiding columns ?!
Initially I have client component = true and visible is true.
See javascript below.
When I call hideColumn, the component is found and hidden after calling.
When I call showColumns (after it is hidden) the component cannot be found anymore.
function showColumn(evt){
      var col = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId("pt1:pc1:t1:c9") ;
      col.setVisible(true);
   function hideColumn(evt){
      var col = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId("pt1:pc1:t1:c9") ;
      col.setVisible(false);
    }I checked and when the columns visible property is initially false, the column is not found by AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId("pt1:pc1:t1:c9"), which means it is not available ?!
It looks like the visible property for an af:column works slightly different then for other components such as buttons.
Also makes me wonder how the panelCollection component shows and hides columns. Doesn't that component do exactly the same ?
Thanks.

Luc,
couldn't find a hint in the sources (maybe didn't spend enough time). However, one reason for this behavior would be if the hidden column had no client component created (in which case it only exists as hidden HTML). The work around I think would be to use a serverListener on the table and to pass the columns to show/hide as the payload for server side show/hide
