Insert 3 blanks in a database through form

hello everybody,
My query is when i assign balnks to a field like :fieldname =' ' then form makes it null & insert nulls in db is there any way to do this instead of writting On-insert trigger & whole insert statement in it.
Regards

I offered him, that I'll leave company, then there
was peace and clear mind back.:-) well... I wouldn't threaten to quit instead of inserting blanks into a database field (the boss might take me up on it), but it is certainly not a good idea.
But there is no way in forms to insert blanks into a column on the database without writing some pl/sql code to do it.

Hi Alex
"Create a datablock and specify the item datatype as blob"
BUT: How to bring the document to the blob?
Hi user 611..
Warning: It is easy if you use an OLE-Object - but OLE is a special format. The result will not be the same as with dbms_LOB.
We have a application with documents stored via OLE - terrible!
OLE is no longer supported by forms 10. But webutil would help.

Dear Sir,
Accordingly your suggestion I check the SimpleBean class putting the constant values in this bean class.That is Sucessfully Inserted constant values in database.
Like for example..
myfirstjavabean.java:

import java.sql.*;
public class myfirstjavabean
private String firstMsg="Hello world";
private String s="";
public myfirstjavabean()
public String getfirstMsg()
return firstMsg;
public void setfirstMsg(String firstMsg)
this.firstMsg=firstMsg;
public String getissueData() //method that create connection with database
try
System.out.println("Printed*************************************************************");
getfirstMsg();
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
System.out.println("Loading....");
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:sampleMsg");
System.out.println("Connected....");
PreparedStatement st=con.prepareStatement("insert into Table1 values(?)");
System.out.println("~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~");
String Msg=getfirstMsg();
st.setString(1,Msg);
int y= st.executeUpdate();
System.out.println(y);
System.out.println("Query Executed");
con.commit();
con.close();
s= "Your logging is saved in DB ";
System.out.println("Your logging is saved in DB *****************");
return this.s;
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
return "failed";
}Vij.jsp:
<html>
<body>
<jsp:useBean id="st" class="myfirstjava.myfirstjavabean" scope="request" />
<jsp:getProperty name="st" property="firstMsg" />
<jsp:getProperty name="st" property="issueData" />
</body>
</html>These above example sucessfully inserted the Hello World message in database.
But which value I put user input at run time Its not inserted in database.
Which is my previous problem that is persist.
Please Help..

Connect to Database through FORM builder

I have configured 2 listeners to my database, both connect to the database ok but when I try to connect through my form builder I keep getting the error message
"cannot resolve service_name" even though it's already connected through my net configuration assistant. Is there a seperate connect properties file for my form builder?

You need to add an entry in the tnsnames.ora file that is in the Oracle_home that Forms is in.

Storing a file in a BLOB field in the database through forms

Hi, I want to have a form that lets the user choose a file he has on his client side and load this file into a BLOB field in the database.
I know how to use "GET_FILE_NAME" to get the file, the second part is what I'm having problems with. Do I use an OLE object? How do I initailize it? Or what is the best way to go? Thanks.

Did you literally go into your tns file and put all of your specific envirnmental specifications?
Is the listener up and running?
Are you using the right alias?

How do i insert into table through forms

Hi
I have developed a custom form based on custom table.
the only way to insert data into database table is through form.
there are two tables: one table is to store all contract details & second table is to maintain history forthis.
one condition(col1,col2,col3,col4) are unique combination,we are not creating any PK or FK at database level.evrythng is captured at form level.
if all 4 columns combination exist thn e should not insert that record.
if 4 columns combination doesnot exist then insert into table.
I have used just pre insert,pre update triggers.
I think its a basic form functionality ,by itself it inserts ,update record.now it is doing the same thng.
But I have to add the above condition ,how can i do that.
Pl provide me some ex code .
Thank you.
Hope any one can help me

Hashtable for multi part form to insert image and details to database:)

Hey guys do you have any samples on using hashtable in multipart form to insert image as well as details into database?:)
Oh it is because my form is using multipart from that enbales me to upload/Insert image into my database.
Howerver, I also need to insert other details into my database such as productid, ProdName, unitprice.....
Hence, My tutor suggested using hashtable.
However, I do not understnd.
Do you guys have any samples regarding on this?
Thanks

Currently its working fine with XML data and a search button, but I need to securly connect to a database through web service. I know how to connect to a wsdl file through designer. What I need is a wsdl file to connect the form to database. For this purpose, is there any WSDL code to use as the web service?
I really appreciate your help and advice.

Insert a blank line in a form

Is there any way to insert a blank line into a form? The only thing I can think of is to insert an empty display as text item with no label.
Is there an easier way?

Hello,
Playing with the cell height, in the HTML Table Cell Attributes – like style="height:50px" – and with the Horizontal / Vertical Alignment of the label and element, can produce whatever space you need between your form elements.
Regards,
Arie.
