How to save MS Word file in Database

hi everyone,
I want to use MS Word in forms and then save word file in Oracle8i Database. PLease Tell me How to complete this task.
Many THanks.

Good luck using OLE to modify existing DB stored Word documents. There is a REAL nasty bug in 6i (#2615804) that causes the Forms runtime to crash. There is no bug fix availible, as yet, and it's severely affecting our planned migration to Forms 6i. This has the affect of not allowing us to migrate our DB to 9i since 4.5 is not supported against 9i. Sheesh! Request to Metalink for some type of resolution have been met with replies of "you should try storing your documents on the file system since OLE is not support in Forms 9i or web delivery of 6i.
At this stage, we're looking into alternatives to storing Word documents in the DB. The problem is going to be converting the tens of thousands of documents we already have stored. If it's not too late for you, I'd reconsider storing Word documents in the database.
My 2 cents,
Ken Medlock

  • How to save a .csv file to database server

    Hi every body,
    I need to upload a .csv file from the client machine and save it to a directory in a database sever.
    I could do the uploading part. Can anyone tell me how to save the file?
    Another option is save the file as a CLOB in a database column. But I'm not aware of doing that too.
    Please guide me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Surangi.

    See Steve Muench's Not Yet Documented Example #85 at http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2004/09/23/notYetDocumentedAdfSampleApplications.html#85. While this is for 10.1.3, this is still relevant for 11g. Steve's example is for uploading to a BLOB - same thing for a CLOB. Once your data is in the database, you can use the DBMS_LOB package to write the file to a directory on the database server, if you like.
    Also the Developers Guide is your friend - Chapter 9.9 in the Fusion Web User Interface Developers Guide for Oracle ADF 11g, or 19.6 in the ADF Developers Guide for Forms/4GL Developers for JDeveloper 10.1.3.

  • How to save a word file to a pdf

    Just bought the Adobe PDF and realize now it does me no good if I cannot convert my word files to PDF.   Can I do this?

    You need to install Acrobat. The error normally has the message "Error 1303. The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory." This suggests that you are not logged in as the administrator and may also not have anti-virus disabled for the install. See if that resolves the issue. The other way to get a PDF out of WORD is to use the MS plugin for creating PDFs (though a bit sloppy as is normal with MS products).

  • How to save a word type file in the reader to read it there?

    I have files in .pdf format as well as some MS Word documents.
    Can anyone show me how do i need to proceed in order to ssave those files on my Sony PRS 650 Reader?
    Thank you kindly.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi “getmore”
    Here, all the discussion was about MS Word files and PRS-650 e-Reader. The solution was to save MS Word files directly in .RTF format or as one can read in Sony PRS-650  - User Guide (page 121):
    “Supported File Formats
    The following file formats can be managed within Reader Library and transferred to your Reader.
    Book
     EPUB file (.epub file extension) EPUB (OPS version 2.0) supported
     PDF file (.pdf file extension) Support is based on the PDF 1.6 specification.
     BBeB (.lrf or .lrx file extension)
     Text file (.txt file extension)
     RTF file (.rtf file extension)
     Word file (.doc or .docx file extension)*1
    *1 In case of using Windows, you need Microsoft Word installed on your computer. Word files will be automatically converted to RTF files by Reader Library during transfer to your Reader or a compatible memory card…”
    Now for other Sony’s e-Reader models (as PRS-T1/T2), .RTF file type is not supported anymore (supported only epub, pdf and txt file).
    In this case one must convert an MS Word file to an epub(best solution for Sony’s readers) or pdf file. There’re too many free software in order to do this.
    For me one of the best is Calibre http://calibre-ebook.com/. “…Calibre can convert from a huge number of formats to a huge number of formats. It supports all the major e-book formats. The full list of formats can be found here…” (ebook with “DRM” are NOT supported).

  • How to save a fmb in the database thru command prompt?

    Hi,
    How to save a fmb in the database thru command prompt?
    I have around 25 fmb template files which needs to be saved in the database.Every time when we apply the new dump , we need to resave the templates in the database to compile other application related fmb files.Its a time consuming process and Monotonous for me. Is there anyway to save the forms in the database thru batch file, so that just I have to execute the batch file every time.
    Expecting your earliest feedback.

    Hi Frank,
    Thanks for your feeback.
    I am using forms6i.Basically our application was migrated from 4.5 to 6i two years back. Due to some reasons our technical team members are insisting us to store the template FMB's into the database to do the coding activities at site.
    Once in a month we are receiving the live dump for test database.Hence the problem.
    Please suggest the easiest way to store the template FMBs in the database.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi jscher200,
    Thank you for your reply, sorry for the VERY late late response, but I have just figured out how to control this separate 'panel'. I find it really useful for monitoring Google Analytics in as it can just sit there running. It does have its limitations, as it's a limited size (you can't expand it to full screen view), so you can only ever see a vertical section of a website and need to scroll to look to the right or left, but I have the live view of people accessing my website running on there and if the numbers start racking up at any time, I can scroll to look and see what pages they are accessing, where they've been referred from, etc.
    To get it to work, you save a website address in the Bookmarks Toolbar and when you can see it sitting on the toolbar at the top of the screen with its little icon, right click on it then click 'properties', then tick the box 'Load this bookmark in the sidebar'. The next time you click on this bookmark to open the website, it will load in this sidebar, which looks like a separate 'window' but is immovable. You can only have one sidebar application running at a time, but can change it by right clicking on the bookmark you want to load in there and it will then change to that one next time you click on that bookmark.
    I hope this might be useful to others, as I asked for help with this on loads of forums and not one person knew that this existed - even really skilled techies!

  • Way to save MS Word file as a PDF with original MS Word file date?

    For archiving purposes, I'm betting PDFs will be readable (backwards compatible) long after my current file saved in Microsoft Word becomes out of date. Anyone know of a way I can save my Word file as a PDF while retaining the original Word file last-modified date (for patent protection reasons to prove date of authorship)? (or Word to text file or ASCII file would also be equivalent as long as original date is kept)

    I doubt that a computer date would suffice for legal proof of date. It is easily changed for those that know their way around the computer. I would have to play a bit, but could probably do it without too much trouble. About the only way to satisfy the need for a patent is to properly insert the pages in a patent notebook and get the information notorized. From what I have seen, the legal profession generally requires hard copy, not a computer file. A loose-leaf form is also typically not acceptable, but a bound notebook properly annotated. The notorized aspect is a way around some of this I think. In any case, it sounds like you need to consult a patent attorney.

    Just a question: Do you have MS Office? If yes, then try to save your word file from that E-Mail and to open it separately with Word.
    If not then you know now whats the problem: You just dont have Word and you should buy a Office software if you want to read your word files. :)

    Hi, theocularone -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    This particular forum is set aside for users of OS 9. Since you are using a MacBook Pro, you can not be using OS 9 (OS 9 is not usable with any Intel-processor Mac).
    You would probably get a faster, more directed response if you reposted your question in the appropriate OSX forum. Depending upon which version of OSX you are using, you can access those here -

  • How to open damaged word file?

    I m trying to open MS Word Document file, MS word files are showing error message like word 2003 
    doesn't open file, I have important document file got corrupted, so How to open damaged word file? 
    If you have any answer please help assist me.

    When a Word document file is corrupted, then you can try several methods to recover it:
    1. First of all, you can try the recovery function integrated with Microsoft Word, as follows:
    1) On the File menu, click Open.
    2) In the Look in list, click the drive, folder, or Internet location that contains the file that you want to open.
    3) In the folder list, locate and open the folder that contains the file.
    4) Select the file that you want to recover.
    5) Click the arrow next to the Open button, and then click Open and Repair.
    You may find more information about this at:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/recover-the-text-from-a-damaged-document-HP005189610.aspx (for Word 2003)
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893672/en-us (for Word 2007/2010/2013)
    2. If 1 does not work, then you may try third-party tools such as DataNumen Word Repair at
    http://www.datanumen.com/word-repair/
    It provides a free demo version so that you can try to see if the data you want can be recovered or not.
    Good luck!

    Michael,
    What database? Citadel, or something that has an SQL?
    If the latter, use the SQL toolkit. You can get it from NI.
    Please elaborate if this is not your situation.

  • I can't save previous word files I have into iWork's, I have dropped the file into pages, but it says it can't convert text, even though I have changed a selective fond from pages

    I can't save previous word files I have into iWork's, I have dropped the file into pages, but it says it can't convert text, even though I have changed a selective fond from pages! Help!

    Take us through this in more detail.
    What is the Word file? From a PC?
    What version of Word and what is the file extension?
    What is it about the text that is different?
    When you say fond do you mean font/typeface? If so what font, and is it on your Mac? Is there something special/different about this font?
