How to Store PDF files In the Oracle Database?

Hi All,
It is required for me to store the PDF files in the Database and retrieve it back whenever necessary.
Also I need to store it with some security. So no one can read the content of the file.
Please give me solution to these problems.
Thanks

Also I need to store it with some security. So no one can read the content of the file.Authenticate users requesting files.
Please give me solution to these problems.There are many possible solutions for your requirements.

How to load text file data to Oracle Database table?

By using Oracle Forms, how to load text file data to Oracle Database table?

Metalink note 33247.1 explains how to use text_io as suggested by Robin to read the file into a Multi-Row block. However, that article was written for forms 4.5 and uses CREATE_RECORD in a loop. There was another article, 91513.1 describing the more elegant method of 'querying' the file into the block by transactional triggers. Unfortunately this more recent article has disappeared without trace and Oracle deny its existence. I know it existed as I have a printed copy in front of me, and very useful it is too.

How to Save pdf file in the BLOB field in the database

I have to save a pdf file which is on the client machine to save in the database column of type BLOB. How can i do that?

LostWorld wrote:

There is a very fundamental client-server principle at stake here - the purpose of the client. What is the purpose of the client? Amongst others, it is to interface with the client hardware and peripherals and devices. Like reading the client keyboard and sending that to the server. Or reading data from the sever and rendering it on the client's display device. Or to receive CSV data from the server and writing it to a local file.
It's purpose is also to read a local file, like a PDF file, and submit that file's contents to the server for storage.
The following pseudo code explains the basic principle:
client
// call oracle to create a LOB
ExecuteSQL( 'DBMS_LOB.CreateTemporary( .. )' )
open file( fileHandle )
while not EOF( fileHandle )
    // read data from the file
    read file( fileHandle, buffer )
    // write this buffer to the LOB in Oracle
    ExecuteSQL( 'DBMS_LOB.writeAppend( .. )' )
end while
close file( fileHandle )
// now tell Oracle what to do with that LOB
ExecuteSQL( '...' )
.. etc..Thus the client:
a) creates a LOB in Oracle via a PL/SQL call
b) passes data from the client and appends it to the LOB
c) tells Oracle what to do with LOB, such as inserting it into a table

How to store PDF files in a table

Hi,
Is there a way to store PDF files in a table? Do I use LOB? How do I automatically read them if I want them to be available in a web site?
Thanks.

U have to use either BLOBs (internal LOBs) or BFILEs (external LOBs). check out docu. at http://www.akadia.com/services/ora_blob.html

HT5663 How to store PDF files in iCloud?

Is there a way to store PDF files in iCloud? I see that Preview supposedly stores PDF's in iCloud, but when I try it, I cannot find the file in iCloud.

Sorry AMCarter3, my bad. While it used to be in GoodReader they apparently removed it some time ago, supposedly for some legal reasons?
I too use GoodReader primarily with dropbox and box so had not noticed it was gone.
As an aside, for those apps that support iCloud storage, if you have a Mac, enable Documents & Data in the iCloud control panel. That will make a folder on your hard drive, named "Mobile Documents" that is your local mirror of your iCloud folders. Apps that sync their content to iCloud will make a folder for themselves when they first conntect to iCloud, and that folder will in turn get created as a sub-folder in Mobile Documents on your Mac (I still have my one for Goodreader, "JFJWWP64QD~com~goodiware~GoodReader", along with ones for Pages, Numbers, and a host of others).
You can then drag and drop any file you wish into that folder (as long as it is a file type supported by the app), and they will then sync to iCloud. You then use the app and download them for use on your iOS device from within the app. That folder on your Mac will be updated whenever it changes and your Mac has internet access to iCloud.
But, for PDFs in Goodreader, yes, dropbox works great, and has their free companion app for OS X if you want things on your computer to sync automatically too.

How to Generate PDF file on the server

Hello Everybody !
I Need to generate a PDF File on the server, and I'm usin the command :

We were able to do the same thing with Oracle Application Server and Oracle WebLogic Server. I cannot remember how different the processes were, but it seems like they were very similar. I am going to give you the instructions on how we implemented a "Read PDF" procedure on the WebLogic Server. If you are still on the Application Server you may have to do some Google searches, but it all boils down to the mod_plsql DAD Configuration file.
Our PDF was located in a table with the following structure:
CASE_DOCUMENTS
   (id_document                    NUMBER NOT NULL,
    doc_blob                       BLOB,
    note                           VARCHAR2(240),
    created_by                     VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
    created_dt                     DATE NOT NULL,
    case_id                        NUMBER NOT NULL,
    filename                       VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL)Based on that table structure we created a procedure named READ_PDF which you will reference below in the dads.conf file below:
CREATE or REPLACE procedure read_pdf (p_id_document IN number)
is
view_file     blob;
BEGIN
select doc_blob
    into view_file
    from case_documents
   where id_document = p_id_document;
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER ('APPLICATION/PDF', FALSE);
HTP.P ('CONTENT-LENGTH: ' || DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH (view_file));
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file (view_file);
END;
GRANT EXECUTE ON read_pdf TO financial_user_role -- Name of role to execute
/Basically, you are passing in one parameter and that is the primary key for your table. You are selecting the pdf stored in a BLOB for that primary key. The commands below that allow the pdf to open up so you can view it – we got this off some search we did a few years ago.
Now, you need to add logic to your Oracle Form that will call the procedure above, but the URL is based on the dads.conf file that we will set up below… Anyway, we created a button on the form module with a label of "View". In the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger the logic looks like this:
-- The View logic uses the DAD (Database Access Descriptors) method to view a .pdf file from the form.
-- The DAD was created on WebLogic Server with the name findadgen. This allows an http request be made
-- to the database.
declare
v_file          varchar2(400);
v_success       boolean;
ret_val         number;
v_http_link     varchar2(400);
begin
-- The format of the link is as follows: hostname:port/pls/DAD_name/procedure_name
v_http_link := 'http://finas03:8888/pls/findadgen/read_pdf?p_id_document=' || :case_documents.id_document;
web.show_document(v_http_link, '_BLANK');
end;The name of our WebLogic Server is "finas03" so that is what is listed in the URL. The "findadgen" is the name of the <Location> in the dads.conf file below, the "read_pdf" is the name of the procedure we created above, the "p_id_document=" is the IN parameter listed in the READ_PDF procedure created above, and the ":case_documents.id_document" is the reference to the primary key in our Oracle Form.
For WebLogic, you can either go through Enterprise Manager (directions below) or update the dads.conf file on the filesystem directly (if you update the dads.conf file directly then skip to step 4 and ignore step 5):
1.     Enterprise Manager -> Web Tier -> ohs1
2.     Oracle HTTP Server (pull-down) – Administration – Advance Configuration
3.     Select File – dads.conf
4.     Add something similar:
# ============================================================================
#                     mod_plsql DAD Configuration File
# ============================================================================
# 1. Please refer to dads.README for a description of this file
# ============================================================================
# Note: This file should typically be included in your plsql.conf file with
# the "include" directive.
# Hint: You can look at some sample DADs in the dads.README file
# ============================================================================
<Location /pls/findadgen>
    SetHandler pls_handler
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from All
    AllowOverride None
    PlsqlDatabaseUsername financial
    PlsqlDatabasePassword sdo_3#d1
    PlsqlDatabaseConnectString ffindbTNSFormat
    PlsqlNLSLanguage AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
    PlsqlAuthenticationMode Basic
    PlsqlDefaultPage read_pdf
</Location>You are adding the <Location> section to your dads.conf file. The "finddadgen" is the name that you will reference in a change you fill make to your Oracle Form. The "financial" is the Schema, the "sdo_3#d1" is the password for that Schema, the "ffindb" is the database that the stored procedure is located on, and the "read_pdf" is a stored procedure you will have to create in order to read the pdf.
5.     Press the "Apply" Button
6.     Obfuscate the DAD password by running the dadTool.pl script located in $ORACLE_HOME/bin (This was done on Unix on our server with the following commands):
$> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib;export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$> cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
$> perl dadTool.pl -f /u01/app/oracle/middleware/asinst_1/config/OHS/ohs1/mod_plsql/dads.conf
7.     Restart the Oracle HTTP Server using Fusion Middleware Control:
Enterprise Manager -> Web Tier -> ohs1
Oracle HTTP Server – Control – Shutdown
Oracle HTTP Server – Control – Start Up
If you followed the instructions above, you should have created a stored procedure, added logic to your Oracle form to reference that stored procedure, and created an entry in the dads.conf file. Once you move the form onto the server and you restart the HTTP Service, you should be able to view a pdf that is stored in a table directly from your Oracle Form.

How to store entire files in a oracle 7 database

How can i store entire files for example image files in a oracle 7 databese. Does is support LOB??

How can i store entire files for example image files in a oracle 7 databese. Does is support LOB??Hi there,
to be short: yes you can.
I actually did it myself, but there a several problems to tacle first:
- Use LONG RAW as datatyp
- you can have only one column in a table with LONG RAW
- consider the overall amount of space used in the database
- adjust the size of the rollbacksegments.
Have fun

How to extract PDF files into the directory the PDF file is located in.

I use Adobe Acrobat to extract all the pages within a single PDF file to single page PDF files. However the steps are long, as the path to a directory where i wish to extract is thru the net work and the default location for Adobe is to my C:Drive... So I have to Browse the path to extract to Which can be between 10 and 15 steps depending on the job folders. Most programs when you extract, the default path is usually where the file location is, with an option to change the path.. makes sense and is very easy.
So without making a short cut(because the path constantly changes depending on the jobs). How do I extract directly to the folder that the PDF file is in? Example, when you extract a zip file, its default location is right there where the zip file is in. Quite simple and logical.

Thanks Gilad, but that does not make the task easier. The path always changes as the files are being organized into folders. Its kind of sad that $400 software can't do what most free ware can do. Extract itself into the folder it is sitting in.

PDF Reader for IPAD 2: how to import PDF files in the library

I have installed the "PDF reader" app and it is a great one. but can't import pdf files that are already in my IPAD (I see them in iBooks)

Documents associated with a specific app, such as iBooks, are not available to other apps on the iPad unless the app that they are associated with is capable of sending docs to be opened in another app, such as GoodReader is capable of doing. iOS is a much less open system than a computer OS like MAC OS X or Windows, there is no central documents folder which various apps can browse to and open.
