How to save pdf file in database

Dear All,
my application is forms 6i and database is 8i,requirement is that how to save pdf file in database and users can view through forms

I'll apologize up front for the length of this post. I have a few database procedures I created that write a file to a BLOB column in a table as well as retrieve the BLOB from the column after it stored there. I have successfully stored many different types of binary file to the database using these procedures - including PDF files. I have not used these procedures in a Form so I can confirm that they will work, but theoretically they should work. I'm including the code for each procedure in this posting - hence the apology for the long post! :-)
Also, since these procedures reside on the database you will need to use Forms TEXT_IO built-in package to write your file to the server before you can use these procedures to store and retrieve the file from the database.
These procedures reads and writes a binary file to a table called "LOB_TABLE." You will need to modify the procedure to write to your table.

Hi teda,

Actually the report is created in webi java panel using RE SDK and is saved in Report Sample Folder then i'm saving it in user's personal category by following code
string query = "Select SI_PERSONAL_CATEGORIES From CI_INFOOBJECTS Where "
                     + "SI_INSTANCE=0 And SI_ID=" + reportID;
                InfoObjects infoObjects = infoStore.Query(query);
                InfoObject infoObject = infoObjects[1];
                Webi wreport = (Webi)infoObject;
                ObjectRelativeIDs personalIDs = wreport.PersonalCategories;
            /personalIDs.Add(Convert.ToInt32(categoryID));
               infoStore.Commit(infoObjects);
But the report is presents in the Folder also and in user's personal category also.
I dont want the report to be in the folder (Report Sample) if i saved it in user's personal category.
How can i do that?
any idea.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance

How to Save the files attached in tasks

hi experts ,
i am using a BPM process, one requirement is to send the files across tasks. i know we have a facility in tasks where we can attach the files and send across, my question is where these files are stored during process and is there any way to access these files after the process ends(for future report generation). can we save these files in database too, so we can have the artifacts related to particular process instance available at our disposal.

Hello,
In CE 7.2 BPM uses the Enterprise Content Managment (ECM) infrastructure to store documents that are part of a process. ECM can be accessed via API or WebDav (among others). Here's some more information:

make sure the file format in the box should be PSD and then you may save the file and then you can share with any one.

How to save .pdf file using office word and excel

Can someone help me how to save .pdf files using office word and excel? I reinstalled my adobe 7.0 pro in my new pc and before I was able to do it but with my old pc.

For anything after Office 2003, you have to print to the Adobe PDF printer. If you installed AA 7 on OS newer than XP, you may have to do a workaround to get it to work. With later versions of WORD you can always use the MS plugin for creating PDFs.

How to save CSV file in application server while making infospoke

How to save CSV file in application server to be used as destination while making infospoke.
Please give the steps.........

Hi
If you want to load your flatfile from Application server,then you need to trasfer your file from your desktop(Computer) to Application server by using FTP.
Try using ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER Function module.
You Just need to give thesource path and the target path
goto SE37 t-code , which is Function module screen, give the function name ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER, on click F8 Execute button.
for path variable give the file path where it resides like C:\users\xxx\desktop\test.csv
for target path give the directory path on Application server: /data/bi_data
remember the directory in Server starts with /.
U have to where to place the file.
Otherwise use 3rd party tools to connect to ur appl server like : Core FTP and Absolute FTP in google.
Otherwise...
Goto the T.code AL11. From there, you can find the directories available in the Application Server.
For example, if you wanna save the file in the directory "DIR_HOME", then you can find the path of the directories in the nearby column. With the help of this, you can specify the target path. Specify the target path with directory name followed by the filename with .CSV extension.
Hope this helps

How to save a FORM as DATABASE

Hello everyone
I am using forms 9i with Database 9i and 9iAS . I want to save a form as database . In previous version we had the option so save as file or database . We were able to set it under tools- preferences . But in forms 9i I don't find it anywhere we can set save as Database.
Can anyone help me.
Thanks

I think you will need to use a layer in between. For instance with LC, you can make a process that takes in your data and stores it in your database. Your form can submit to that process through SOAP and REST.

How to save iPhoto file in a separate portable hard disk drive?

You want to move the iPhoto Library?
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

How to get the data of file in servlet...
Please reply...i'm unable to find exact code...that i want..

You need to do two separate parts: accept the file from a HTTP multi-part POST and then stream it into a BLOB on the database. To do the former, download Jakarta Commons FileUpload. There is extensive documentation on how to write a simple handler for the upload. You then need to send the data to a BLOB. The specifics vary from database to database but generally you will insert or update a row with an empty blob, get a reference to the blob, pipe the data and then commit.
If you do a quick forum search, this question has been asked (and answered) dozens of times. Some of the replies may even have code for you. Best of luck.
