How to print in PL Sql using a procedure?

So how do you create a procedure to print a name in PL Sql ? Here is what I have done so far.
Create Procedure Print_Info
( X_Name IN Varchar2
) As
Begin
:X_Name:='Anabella'
DBMS_Output.Put_Line (X_Name);
End Print_Info;
thanks

PL/SQL is a server process. It is not connected or wired to a keyboard, mouse, screen or printer.
The client process (SQL*Plus, TOAD. etc.) interfaces with the end-user - it is connected to peripheral devices like mouse, keyboard and screen.
And this is exactly what client-server is. And which is why the task to "+Print data using PL/SQL+" is missing the fundamental concept of what client server is. It is utterly and totally flawed. And should you be doing this as some kind of course, then you should seriously question what they are teaching as the concept of PL/SQL printing anything is just plain bloody wrong.
So how does DBMS_OUTPUT then works? The DBMS_OUTPUT package has a static buffer area (variable) that you can place data into using the put and put_line procedures.
A client, like SQL*Plus, can then interrogate this buffer after executing PL/SQL code, and remove and display the content in that buffer to the end-user. This is not "+printing by PL/SQL+" just as running a SQL select from a client and viewing the data (in the client) is not "+printing by SQL+".
It is very important that you grasp correctly what client-server is and the basics of how it works - as that will enable you to truly understand what PL/SQL is, what Oracle is, and how to correctly use it. It will enable you to understand how to troubleshoot performance problems, how to design systems optimally and so on. One cannot simply learn PL/SQL the language and expect to be a good Oracle developer. Understanding what client-server is and how it works in Oracle, is more important than to be an expert on a specific programming language. Knowing a programming language does not mean being able to architecture efficient and scalable solutions using that language.

How to print uspto patent images using Safari and Quicktime

3/18/06
Do you want to know how to print US patent images using Safari? Read on.
When you access the "images" link of a specific patent on the www.uspto.gov/ website using Safari, the page you are viewing is only one small upper left tile of a huge patent image that is not sized to the screen. You can scroll and try to read the page but it's almost impossible. Try to print it out and you only print what's on the screen. Bummer.
The fix:
Place the cursor on the opened image (it may appear blank), hold down the CONTROL key on you keyboard and click on the image. Two instructions come up. Click on the "Save Image to the Desktop" instruction and a DImg.tiff file will be created on your desktop. Click on the .tiff file and it should open in the Preview program, then simply print out the image. Voila!!!!
Click the yellow arrow in the left margin to access page 2 of the patent and repeat the previous instructions to create another .tiff file on your destop. Do every page and you'll have the patent available to print out one page at a time.
You can then rename the files and create a folder for that specific patent so you can access it later without signing onto uspto site.
It's odd that the ever compatible Apple does not provide seamless compatibility to view and print patent images on the US Patent and Trademark Office's website. Where would they be without protecting their own intellectal property? Let's hope the next version of Quicktime includes the appropriate ITU T.6 or CCITT Group 4 (G4) compression language.
Even the "throw it out the Windows" operating system is up to speed on this issue for America's hard working inventors.
Keep on inventing.

How to print a text file using Java

How can I print a text file using Java without converting the output to an image format. Is there anyway I can send the characters in the text file as it is for a print job? I did get a listing doing this ... but that converted the text to an image format before printing....
THanks,.

Hi I had to write a print api from scratch, and I did not convert the output to image. Go and read up on the following code. I know there is a Tutorial on Sun about the differant sections of the snippet.
private void printReport()
     Frame tempFrame = new Frame(getName());
     PrintJob printerJob = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getPrintJob(tempFrame, "Liesltext", null);
     Graphics g = printerJob.getGraphics();
                //I wrote the method below for calculations
     printBasics(g);
     g.dispose();
     printerJob.end();
}This alone wont print it you have to do all the calculations in the printBasics method. And as I said I wrote this from scratch and all I did was research first the tutorial and the white papers

It appears you're missing the format mask in the TO_CHAR, ...
TO_CHAR(:new.apth,'YYYYMMHR24MISS')
The full code would help a bit more.

How to Print to a paper using PL SQL

Hi All,
I have some advice generated in the database. These are well formatted and to be printed on a pre-defined background template.
Could you please tell me the best way to print them using PL/SQL code?
I tried using some other technology but the formatting of the message gets lots in this.
regards
Suhel

>
I dont have to format the same.It is already formatted using some other code. I have to print As-it-is.
>
I sincerely doubt that.
As-it-is means a simple read-a-line, print-a-line. Already formatted for what font? what font-size?
What is it that controls how many lines are on a page? If the formatted data is set for 66 lines per page then you can just copy lines to the printer if the custom paper has 66 lines per page.
What happens when you print?

How to print a pl/sql raw or BLOB to html page with htp.p command

Hi!
I have a jpeg image I retrieved from the OID and it is stored in an DBMS_LDAP.BINVAL_COLLECTION, which is supposed to be similar to a BLOB or PL/SQL raw collection. What I want to do is to print it to my portal page. I have been using htp.p to print all the other values such as name, department etc, and the only thing I can't get out to the page is the image. How do I do this? I suppose I can just declare a variable of the type BLOB, and give it the binary value I have in the BINVAL_COLLECTION, but then how do I get it to my html code? Do I have to convert it to something, or use some function. I don't know much pl/sql so detailed instructions would be very helpful. Thank you
/Marie

I tried that, but I get the error "Wrong number or types of arguments" in the Read method. See my code below:
PROCEDURE read_image(p_photo DBMS_LDAP.BINVAL_COLLECTION)
AS
     src_lob blob;
     buffer raw(2048);
     amt BINARY_INTEGER := 2048;
     pos INTEGER := 1;
     doctype number;
     BEGIN
     owa_util.mime_header( 'image/bmp', false );
     owa_util.http_header_close;
     -- the query
     --select into src_lob from where ;
     LOOP
--THIS IS WHERE I CHANGE THE BLOB FOR MY BINVAL_COLLECTION, BUT GET AN ERROR
     DBMS_LOB.READ (p_photo, amt, pos, buffer);
     pos := pos + amt;
     htp.prn(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(buffer));
     END LOOP;
     exception when others then
     NULL;
     END;
Is there something wrong with this code, or else how do you mean I shold just replace the blob whith the DMBS_LDAP.BINVAL_COLLECTION

How to print pdf file not using the the adobe reader ?

hello,
i used the adobe sdk to open a pdf file in read and modify it serveral times and each time save it to another directory,and now i need to write a program to print the pdf file in this directory.when print the file,i want to continue my work also,so who i tell me how to solve this problem?
thanks.

The SDK is only a collection of documentation and headers that show you how to interact with and automate Adobe Acrobat and to some extent Adobe Reader. You need a copy of Acrobat or Reader installed on the system in order to use any of the SDK functions. You cannot "print not using the Adobe Reader", unless you have Adobe Acrobat installed on the system instead of Reader.

How to print pdf files not using acrobat product?

i just want to print pdf files,but not want to use the adobe acrobat or acrobat reader,just want to write a tools print pdf files directly.

> no i just want to print it,not need to read it.can you help me?
Well, the problem is to print it you need to be able to read it. Something needs to convert it into a format the printer can understand (most printers are PostScript or PCL).
I'm not sure you entirely understand what a PDF file is. It's not a fancy text file. It's a binary format. Saying "I want to print a PDF without a PDF interpreter" is like saying "I want to run an EXE without Windows". You need software to interpret the format.
You certainly can write your own software to interpret the PDF format, convert it to a print language and output that to a printer, but as Aandi said you will need to start by reading the PDF Reference so you know how the inside of a PDF file works, and it will most likely take several years of development even for a seasoned, expert programmer. It's just not as simple as "Printer, meet PDF. PDF, meet printer."

How do I code PL/SQL using files instead of directly against the database

Hi All,
My current project, like pretty much all I've every worked on, requires all developers of pl/sql routines to code those routines in source controlled files. We then edit the files (normally using TOAD - trying to move to SQL Developer) compile them against the DB, fix the errors, test etc.
I've been trying to do the same in SQL Developer (1.2 and 1.5EA) and it appears as though I can't get the tool to understand my .pks and .pkb files are packages - and thus when I compile them I will receive a "compiler" window containing the errors. It appears to simply run the code as a script returning me:
Warning: execution completed with warning
PACKAGE BODY XYZ Compiled.
This is not the same behavior I receive when I edit objects directly in the database (something I never do).
I hope I'm not missing something obvious.
Thanks in advance.

Your latest EA fixed this, at least for subversion and cvs, hooray! and I'm quite happy with it.
But I think our posters need a quick how-to for subversion:
* the latest EA has subversion and cvs installed
* open VIEW menu->Versioning Navigator
* create your SVN repository in Versioning Navigator, that will establish all of the authentication stuff for your later work
* use VIEW menu->Files and navigate to your subversion working checkout directory.
The File navigator will become your main work zone, if you're anything like me.
for unconventional file suffixes:
* open TOOLS menu->Preferences
* click the File Types topic
* click "Add.." to add the file name extension
* it won't let you specify content type in the little "add" dialog; just click OK
* when you return to the main Preferences screen for file types, your new type will be selected, and below there is a content type drop-down under "Details for type .blahblah"
* choose SQL Script as the type for your new file type, and click OK to commit the changes
* I find "SQL Script" much easier to work with than PlSqlNode, which seems to suppress the file handling and versioning features
Good luck!
