How to upload files/images to the database from a form.

I'm making a custom user profile form.
The users can update their profile in this form.
I cannot use the standard profile form, because the customer got very specific
demands about the context of the profile form.
In this custom profile form the user must be able to upload an image
from their hard disk(just like in the standard profile form).
I've got the following questions about uploading pictures:
- How do I make a button to show the explorer window.
- how do I get the chooses file-name in a field.
- how do I get the new file in the database.
- how do I get rid of an old file in the database.
- how do I get the image on the form.
Or is there a special portal way to upload images/files in a form.
Does anyone have a clue?
regards
arny

Hi,
Regular Portal forms will support upload of images/documents to the database. Just identify your column as a blob, and the 'Browse' button will automatically show up in the form and the users will get to choose the file they want to upload from their desktop.
The thing is, I haven't been able to figure out how to get that document/image back out of the database (e.g. in a report), once it's put in. Maybe someone else can answer that.

Is there a way to upload files directly to the cloud from bridge cc?

Is there a way to upload files directly to the cloud from bridge cc? I use bridge to organize my files. It would be a lot easier if I didn't have to drag and drop files into the cc folder, I was hoping that there might be an easier way.
thanks,

When you save them just make sure you save them to your Mac and not iCloud. For those that already exist, you can move them from iCloud by dragging and dropping them to somewhere else on your Mac. To see all the files in iCloud choose file > open in either pages or numbers.

How to upload file located on the network

I used following API successfully upload file located on
database machine. I
got error when upload file located on network. I run this
as "Portal30" user
which has DBA priviledges.
I used code like this.
result:=wwsbr_api.add_item(p_caid=>53,
p_folder_id =>4487,
p_display_name => 'Test',
p_type_id => wwsbr_api.ITEM_TYPE_FILE,
p_type_caid => wwsbr_api.SHARED_OBJECTS,
p_region_id =>5,
-- these are not working
p_file_filename=>'//nt2/vol2/common/test.pdf'
p_file_filename=>'///nt2/vol2/common/test.pdf'
p_file_filename=>'S:/common/test.pdf'
-- this works
p_file_filename=>'c:/test.pdf'

ORA-06512: at "PORTAL30.WWSBR_API",line 277
PS: we tries run Oracle as a privileged user other than System
user. it won't help. Am I missing something here. I am new on
the network problem. How I can verify the privileged user access
the network.
we have portal 3.0.9.8.1 running on Windows 2000

Thanks for the direction. I can upload same file through Oracle
Portal "Add Item" user Interface. So I assume file is visible to
the database. Notice the Portal uses wwv_additem.additem and
wwv_add_wizard.edititem to upload file. Do they eventually use
wwsbr_api.add_item and wwsbr_api.add_item_post_upload? What is
syntax of reference file on remote drive?
Thanks

Please help me!! Thanks

Your English is a lot better than many who post here.
Click on your picture, select 'Recents', and you should be able to copy and paste a new picture in an open box. Sometimes it may take a couple of attempts.

Here is how you can create dynamic images:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/JDCTechTips/2001/tt0821.html#tip2
However, if you want to create gifs/jpegs and save them to the disk it depends from where you want to create the images. It is different if you are creating from another image or just drawing one from scratch etc.. But in the end you will probably need to use one of the imageencoder classes and write the result to the disk with the file io classes.

How to upload an image to EBS file server (Not store in database) with OAF?

Dear all,

Anybody can reallize it? Please give me some advice or idea?

Kenny,
Framework doesn't provide the option of storing the images as files. You can write a javascript to open a popup and provide a standard HTML file upload component which will save the file on specified location.

What are all the possible ways we can do it.

Searching the forum (or google) would be my first choice, as this question pops up every now and then.
Next without knowledge of your environment (jdev version and technology stack) it's hard to give a profound answer.
All I can say is that it's possible.

How do you permanently delete a file image in the catalogue

how do you permanently delete a file image in the ?

Highlight the image, press the delete key, in the dialog that appears click the button that says, "Delete from disk."
If you want to delete multiple images you can go through your images and when one is highlighted that you want to delete press the X key. That will mark the image for deletion. After you have gone through the images on Windows you can press Ctrl/backspace to display the same dialogue I described above. And you can choose to remove the marked images from the catalog or to delete them from your disk.

Storing images inside the database

hi,
we are running oracle 9ir2 on Solaris and would like to know how to go about achiving the following:
would like to be able to read/write/create/delete bitmap image files in a file share on the same server as the database which would be stored in a table within our schema in the form <filename varchar2>,<image-file-contents blob>
Is this possible?! If so - any pointers in the right direction would be great!
thanks,
p

To some extent, this was covered a few days ago in the PL/SQL forum. There are some examples of uploading image files to blobs in the database here.
upload any file (like .DOC,.JDG) to oracle database?
If you want the images to be visible on a file system, you may want to use BFILE's, rather than BLOB's. BFILE's are essentially pointers in the database to file system objects, while BLOB's are stored completely in the database. The major disadvantages of BFILE's are that
- the file may be deleted or moved, leaving the Oracle BFILE pointing at nothing
- the file won't be backed up with the rest of the database
Going up a level of sophistication, you could store the images using interMedia. This gives you significantly more options for manipulating the images within the database.
Finally, you can use Oracle iFS (or whatever it's been renamed to today) to provide a file system interface to an Oracle database. This is the most robust of the options, but is also the most work to configure.
