Insert doc/pdf/jpg into BLOB using forms (web based)

Hi All,
we have 81741 db on window2000(data server), forms6.0.8.20.1 on windows2000(webserver)
& users using IE6/netscape as setup. User wants to store a pdf/doc/jpg file (stored on his PC)
into database.
He wants ability to view this pdf/doc/jpg later & have ability to download again to his pc. Please note
that we have web based setup & not using HTTP server (using WebDB listener).
I am planning to use BLOB to store the table in database, but cannot figure out what/how to force forms
to do this.
If someone has done this before, could you please update this thread on how to proceed.
Thanks a lot for your input...
Abhi.

AS far as inserting images you can use the image item in Oracle Forms and base it on a blob column in the database.
Regarding the other types of data you can upload them to the database using a Java function on the application server (use the java importer from Forms to call the Java class). You can use another Java function to retrieve the info from the database to the application server, and then use web.show_document to get the file from the application server to the client.
Or you can wait a few weeks for the Webutil utility that will have this functunality built into it.

  • Read/Write pdf's as blobs using forms 10g

    Hi All,
    I have a table called IMAGES in which i store the pdfs as blobs.
    It was successfully working fine with me when I was using forms 6i.
    Recently I installed oracle 10g and just found that 10G doesnt support OLE.
    I came to know about WEBUTIL package and I have already included in the form.
    Could you please help me out how can utilize this WEBUTIL package to read/write blobs from database.
    If you have already developed any code like that, could please forward me?

    The WebUtil_file_transfer.client_to_db and db_to_client will give you direct access to read and write to the blob - I think the Demo form on

  • Hello Apple community... I am trying to combine multiple pdf's into one, using preview, but when I drag the additional pages they show up as separate documents.

    I am trying to combine multiple pdf's into one, using preview, but when I drag the additional pages they show up as separate documents.  When I drag the doc in a line would show up in the past, and if I went above th eline all was good.  It doesn't have a line, and no matter what I try I am having no success.

  • IMac. Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.3.1. Since I installed Yosemite, cannot insert a pdf document into a pdf document. What's my upgrade?

    I have an iMac with Yosemite. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro van 8.3.1.
    I am unable to insert a pdf document into a  pdf document. I go to Document/Insert in the menu bar, get a spinning ball, can do nothing with the app except force-quit.
    What's my upgrade? I cannot find one. Do I have to pay full price for a version that will work?

    Your version of Acrobat is quite old and not compatible with any current OS, so problems are to be expected. It is too old to qualify for an upgrade as well, so if you want the current version (XI) then you need to purchase a new license, which you can do via the Adobe Products Page.

  • Speed Oracle forms (web based) versus client server

    2 years ago we've tested forms 9i
    Everything went very smoothly:
    We had no problems in converting our old forms to 9i.
    We've installed a new database on a new server and we've installed a application server on a second server (Both servers had 2 CPU's and 2GB of memory).
    In short everything worked perfectly ... except the speed.
    Oracle forms (web based) are a lot slower than client-server forms on a LAN, so we kept developing client-server.
    We just use forms on our own local network (100Mbit) but
    we use a lot of triggers in our forms (perhaps the reason for the poor performance?)
    Has anything changed?
    Is it now possible to use web based forms, that are at leased as fast as client server forms?

    OK, I agree: changing the form (more views, less post-query, more pl/sql on database) will improve performance.
    But then I have to recreate every form (> 1000), so then converting c/s to web is not just recompile.
    We don't use images in our forms, the database is connected to the application server with a gigabit line. We did tests when even the client was on gigabit, but c/s remains faster. We did the test with just 1 client. and we have never experienced a bottleneck on the network using c/s (even with post-query on millions of records)
    So 1 database (2 Xeon CPU's 2GB RAM), 1 App server (2 XEON CPU's, 2GB RAM) and 1 client (XEON workstation, 512MB RAM) using web forms on a gigabit network is slower than the same client using forms (c/s) without an appl. server. => A lot more hardware for less performance?
    In short my question: is the latest version of forms faster than the previous version?
    Can webforms have the same performance as client server?

  • Trouble using the Web-based utility

    I have a WRT54G wireless router, V8, firmware 8.0.0. It is Ethernet-connected to a Windows Vista machine running SP1.
    I am having trouble using the Web-based utility. I can access it but cannot make any changes.  For instance, if I change the settings on the Setup page and click "save", I get a "This webpage is not available"
    I tried updating the firmware and got the same message. Disabling my personal firewall has no effect. Resetting the router from the button on its rear panel has no effect. I tried using with both Windows IE and Google Chrome browsers and got the same result.
    I have been using this router without problem for months using a a Windows XP machine. This problem may be associated with my changing it to the current Windows Vista machine. I no longer have the Windows XP machine.
    Please help me. Thank you and Happy New Year!

    I spent a full day unsuccessfully trying to make it work, including numerous Linksys utilities downloaded from the site. I could not conjure any support on Linksys chat, and the live body on the Linksys tech support line wanted to charge me $29 for his help.
    I finally succeeded by purchasing and installing a Netgear wireless router ($44, Staples) that came up flawlessly the first time. The Linksys device is in my trash.

  • Loading external (PDF)file into BLOB colum in the table.  Need urgent help.

    Hi All,
    I've currently been working on loading many external binary files (PDF) into BLOB column. After some digging, I learn that the SQL*LOADER can be used to load data from external files into table. I also got help from another forummate mentioning to use PL/SQL procedure to do so. Since I have not done anything like this before. So, my question is what is the simple approach needed to upload PDF files into a table(there is only one table containing BLOB column in my database). In addition, the LOBs can not be query-able, I wanted to list the contents of the LOBs column to make sure that I did successfully upload data into the database. How can I do that?. I do need your help. Please direct me step by step how to do so. Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Trang

    Once the PDF file is inserted in the PDM table, i am not able to read the PDF data from the below code, This code converts the binary data into the Character data i.e BLOB data into the CLOB, but still the data is not proper which is getting inserted PDF is proprietary format of Adobe. And you cant just read it from pl/sql. You need Adobe software installed in your client machine to view it.
    Here is an example of how to do it.

    Hi
    Perform the following steps to import a Microsoft Word document (*.doc) into a report using Crystal Reports:
    1) Create a new Crystal report.
    2) From the Insert menu, click OLE object.
    3) Select Create from file.
    4) Click Browse and open the file to use (in this case the Word document).
    5) Place the OLE object in the section where you would like to see it.
    You can only place the OLE Object in one section. You may need to create a Word document for each section. For instance, you can create a word document to use as OLE object in the Report Header section, and another one to place in the Page Header.

  • How to insert an image file as blob using JDBC Statement

    Hi,

    thanks for the solution.
    I want to ask one thing
    let say i've created a method in a bean in which i'm passing three parameters.
    One is tablename as String, Second is Name of tablefields as Object, Third is Values as Object
    Like:
    public synchronized int insert(String table,Object[] fields, Object[] values)Ah now we're getting somewhere. I was trying to come up with a situation where using a regular Statement over PreparedStatement would be viable and came up with practically nothing.
    In the method body i'm accessing the table fields and values and combining them into the insert sql query.
    how can i do this using preparedstatment.
    how do i come to know here in this bean that this value is int or string or date at runtime to use setInt, setString, setdate or setBlob respectively.That's your problem. Bad design. You want to make some sort of universal insert method that can insert anything anywhere. But it doesn't really make sense, because whenever you're trying to insert something, you know exactly what you want to insert and where. You could use a PreparedStatement at that point (although encapsulate it in its own method). Now you're trying to create your own poorly designed framework over JDBC that doesn't solve problems, only increases them.
    Above was the only reason i saw, i was using statement instead of preparedstatment as statement was looking easy in this situation.
    please, give me the solution of above using preparedstatment.No, rather you should reconsider your design. What advantage does your insert() method give you over, let's say using a regular PreparedStatement. Granted, you can put your connection opening and other boilerplate code in the method. But if that's your only problem, then your insert method isn't gonna be much use. You could always switch to JPA for example and work with that.

  • Is it possible to insert a PDF file into a PostScript file?

    I am the developer of several DB/400 to PostScript drivers for a specialty packaging print company.
    I would like to insert, size, and position, component files (graphics) that exist as PDF files without converting them to EPS files first.
    Are there any PostScript commands/examples that demonstrate this ability, similar to pdfmark for inserting html and javascript actions into a PostScript stream?

    Dov,
    Yes, this would be an input component of our workflow.
    Right now the conversions are handled manually, usually through the use of Illustrator, mostly because the incoming pdf's have not been uniform or included several graphic components that needed to be controlled separately, or were "sloppy". Recently however, a situation has developed where a 3rd party is providing discrete, uniform pdf files for multiple clients that we will need to input efficiently into our system.
    What I envision after your response of the impossibility of wrapping a PDF inside a PostScript stream is as follows:
    - Normally, 100's of pdf's arriving from the 3rd party would be dropped into a "hot" folder for batch processing.
    - A client "key" would trigger the hot folder application to act on the pdf's, prepending the client key to each file name.
    - Batch processing would then accomplish the pdf to eps conversion.
    - The eps files would be scanned for indexing data such as color information and bounding box, and, if necessary, color remapping could be done here too.
    - The eps files would then be moved to our eps library and the indexing data would be added to the eps library database.
    The only thing we aren't doing right now is the automated prepending of the client "key" and the pdf to eps conversion. At least in the short term I plan to see about the viability of converting the pdf's to eps using a batch action in Illustrator. I know I can write the "key" prepending code, as well as the eps parsing/color editing code.
    Thanks,
    Marvin
