Insert Image to BLOB column

Hi,
How can i insert a image/largefile into table (having BLOB column) from sql plus?
Thanks

Hi!
Do this with PL/SQL.
CREATE TABLE image_tbl
filename VARCHAR2(4000),
image   BLOB
DECLARE
      v_blob       BLOB;
      v_srcfile    BFILE;
BEGIN
      DBMS_LOB.CreateTemporary(v_blob, TRUE);
      DBMS_LOB.Open(v_blob, dbms_lob.Lob_ReadWrite);
      v_srcfile := Bfilename('IMAGE_DIR', 'image.gif');
      DBMS_LOB.FileOpen (v_srcfile, dbms_lob.File_ReadOnly);
      DBMS_LOB.LoadFromFile(v_blob, v_srcfile, DBMS_LOB.GetLength(v_srcfile));
      INSERT INTO image_tbl (filename, image)
      VALUES ('image.gif', EMPTY_BLOB());
      UPDATE image_tbl
      SET image = v_blob
      WHERE filename LIKE 'image.gif';
      DBMS_LOB.FileClose(v_srcfile);
      COMMIT;
END;I hope that one will help you.
yours sincerely

How to insert into a blob column

hello,
i want to insert data ina blob column.
table is like :
create table test(id number(1), blolcolumn blob);
now i want to insert the value as specified below in blobcolumn using a pl/sql block.
can anyone help in doing this using a pl/sql block?

Images in Blob Column..

Hi
I have a function that retrieves the blob column which has the image data. I cannot view this from Toad and get the value {hugeBLOB} when I query via Toad.
I used it in a VB.Net app, but I'm unable to reterive the image there also. Can you please suggest how I can retrieve blob column (which has images) into a .jpg format? I need to retreive the images based on the query.
Thanks for all suggestions.

Hi,
Your question is not according to Forum. You must post your thread (for immediate response) on Oracle Forum for Dot Net/VB Forum.
But i'm going to accept your request.
I've inserted/ saved image in oracle 9i database. And As well i've read/displayed image into Picture Control from Oracle9i database.
But i've used C# Dot Net (Visual Studio 2005 Professional) as front hand tool.
Sorry for VB. One thing IMPORTANT:
I'm going mention code in C# you can Covert into VB Dot Net. Through Online FREE Compiler(www.developerfusion.co.uk/ and click on utilities.)
--------------------------------Here Below is C# Code ----------------------------------------------------
Con.Open();
string myquery = "Select Form_id,Emp_image From Employee where Form_id=2840";
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(myquery, con);
OracleDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
Boolean recordExist = dr.Read();
if (recordExist)
//Now displaying Picture.
MessageBox.Show("Pic is being loaded by C#. Now");
OracleLob blob = dr.GetOracleLob(1); //Column #, Emp_image
Byte[] BLOBData = new Byte[blob.Length];
//Read blob data into byte array
int i = blob.Read(BLOBData, 0, System.Convert.ToInt32(blob.Length));
//Get the primitive byte data into in-memory data stream
MemoryStream stmBLOBData = new MemoryStream(BLOBData);
//LOADING INTO PICBOX1
Picbox1.Image = Image.FromStream(stmBLOBData);
MessageBox.Show("Now i'm reseting it.");
Picbox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;
Else
MessageBox.Show("Reocrd not found against this id.");
Hopefully it helps you. If it is still difficult to understand don't shy to make query.

Retreving Image from Blob Columns in forms 6i

Hi
I inserted image into oracle database in an BLOB column Using Form6i. The table has only two columns, One is varchar2 and other is BLOB. The time it take for inserting image is very little, but retrieving from database to form is taking time. Can anybody suggest tips to improve the speed of retrieving?
Thanks in advance
Ahamed Rafeeque CH

What are you doing exactly?
select blob_column
from my_tablewithout a WHERE clause retrieves all images. Yes, that may take some time. Be sure to add a WHERE clause.

ORA-00600 error when inserting NULL in BLOB column

Hi,
I want to insert NULL value into a BLOB column w/o using empty_blob(), but I am getting the following error upon submission (both through program and upon directly executing it from TOAD/SQL*):
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kxtotolc_lobopt], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
The query is as follows:
insert into image_rendering r
(r.Version_date_time, r.id, r.Name, r.Type, r.Image_url, r.Image_filesize, r.Html, r.Original_Text, r.Redirect_url, r.Version, r.Rendering_size) values
(sysdate, '1963884', '468x60_1.gif', '0', '225/9-468x60_1.gif', '1471', null, null, null, '1', '30670908')
In the table r.Html, r.Original_Text are blob and clob columns respectively.
If I remove the column r.Html (blob) and its corresponding value the following query executes fine :
insert into image_rendering r
(r.Version_date_time, r.id, r.Name, r.Type, r.Image_url, r.Image_filesize, r.Original_Text, r.Redirect_url, r.Version, r.Rendering_size)
values
(sysdate, '1963884', '468x60_1.gif', '0', '225/9-468x60_1.gif', '1471', null, null, '1', '30670908')
I know I can also insert the query using the string empty_blob(), but I dont want to do it without using empty_blob() since it will involve changing my generic DB classes.
The strange thing is that I created another table involving blob and clob columns through TOAD.
In this table I can insert NULL values in the blob column without any error.
Is there anything that can be done to insert a NULL into my blob column? Am I missing anything?
Is there a setting in the database that will allow me to do this? cuz one table accepts null and the other doesn't. Its strange.
I am using Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0
The query doen't execute through toad or sql* plus or through program (I am using thin oracle drivers: the usual classes12.zip file)
thanks in advance

Insert value to BLOB column

Hi dearest of Friends,
How how do I insert values to a BLOB column using SQL-DEVELOPER? Say I will save a JPEG file to it. Although I know how to display the contents of it (BLOB) using this tool, which is really a big help.
Thanks a lot

When you display the contents, there's a Load button to load your new content into it.

Apex 4.0 display image item :BLOB column returned by SQL statement

Hello
I'm creating an display image item in apex 4.0. The source is a BLOB column returned by SQL statement.
When I'm issuing an sql statement like this:
   select lado.blob_content
   from   large_documents      lado
   ,        large_doc_headers    ladh
   where lado.ladh_nr = ladh.nr
   more criteriait works fine.
When I create a function inside a package with the same query (in a cursor)
function get_image(some parameters in) return blob
Following in apex by:
select get_image(some parameters) from dualI get a
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too smallAnybody any idea why this does not work?
Regards Erik

Hi Eric,
the environment assumes varchar2-output by default, which will be limited to 32767 characters and may have problems with binary formats. You could define a blob-variable to select the value into.
DECLARE
l_blob BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT get_image(some parameters)
    INTO l_blob
    FROM dual;
END;
/If you expect the BLOB-Content to be text (you should consider CLOB then), you may use UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2 to convert the content. If your object is larger than the maximum varchar2 size, or you want to convert BLOB to CLOB, you might be interested in some converter like described here: {message:id=559749}
Hope this is what you were searching for.

Inserting Image into BLOB field from URL

Is it possible to insert an image into a BLOB field from a URL? I don't have access to the filesystem on the server and I have a page that uses PL/PDF to generate dynamic PDF files from data I pull from the database. I would like to include my companies official header with logo on the top of the PDFs I generate and need to somehow get the image which I currently have uploaded to the images section in Application Express and can access from the "Shared Components => Images" section of the Application Builder. I just want to be able to either query whatever table holds those images or copy the image I need to a blob field in one of my tables so I can use it in my PDF document.
The other alternative (which is what I first mentioned above) would be to try and perform an insert into the BLOB field in my table but the location of the image file would be like "http://www.myportal.com:7777/pls/htmldb/wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=1234567&p_flow_id=111&p_fname=myimage.jpg".
Is this possible? If not, what can I do?
Thanks in advance.

The reason why I am asking this question in this forum is two-fold:
1. I am using Application Express (AE).
2. Since I am using AE all images that I upload to my workspace are stored in a table in a database and not as an actual file in a directory structure like in Windows etc. This being the case, I can't ever reference any of the files that I upload to my workspace in order to insert them into my BLOB field unless I know their physical location on disk (which of course does not exist b/c they are stored in the AE database somewhere). If I knew AE's database and table structure I could do a "select into ..." from whatever table stores my uploaded images and save those images to my own custom table in my BLOB field.

How to display images from BLOB column via APEX 4.0

Hello,
I did the following in order to display images of two Oracle records on the APEX page. I am using APEX Version : 4.0.1.00.03 , Oracle DB Version : 10.2.0.4.0.
1. Created An oracle table TEST_FORM
with 3 columns
( ID number, MIME_TYPE varchar2(255) , Image BLOB )
2. Inserted two records
10001, image/gif, ( actual image1)
10002, image/gif, ( actual image2)
3. created an Oracle procedure
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE show_my_form ( p_image_id IN test_form.id%type) AS
l_mime test_form.mime_type%type;
l_length NUMBER;
l_file_name VARCHAR2 (2000);
lob_loc test_form.IMAGE%type;
BEGIN
SELECT mime_type, IMAGE
, DBMS_LOB.getlength (IMAGE)
INTO l_mime, lob_loc, l_length
FROM test_form
WHERE id = p_image_id;
owa_util.mime_header(l_mime, false);
htp.p ('Content-length: ' || l_length);
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file (lob_loc);
END show_my_form ;
4. In Apex 4.0
step1. Created an interactive report on a new APEX page
step2. Specified the following in the Region Source
select id, mime_type, '<img src="#OWNER#.show_my_form ?p_image_id=#ID#" />' photo
from TEST_FORM
The column result shows as <img src="CCS.show_my_form?p_image_id=#ID#" />
I am unable to display the column image as a link to a proper image photo.
Could you please advise me if I missed anything ?
Thanks a lot.

Susanna

Maybe the space you have before the ? is causing issues. there shouldn't be any space.
Your procedure looks to be much the same of one that I have.
Have you granted execute on your procedure?
Also, what version DB are you running? This could be another issue: http://daust.blogspot.com/2006/04/xe-calling-stored-procedures.html
But anyway, you don't need to create your own procedure these days. You could do the following:
in your query, have a column: dbms_lob.getlength(blob) photo ; save, then in column attributes for that column, apply a format mask. There is usually a link below the text box for the format mask - BLOB Download Format Mask, which will help you build the format mask. But it is documented here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/advnc.htm#BCGGJHEF

Reg-inserting Values to blob column

Dear Gurus,
I need clarification for this code.
create table demo
( id        int primary key,
theBlob    blob
create or replace directory my_files as '/export/home/tkyte/public_html';
declare
    l_blob    blob;
    l_bfile    bfile;
begin
    insert into demo values ( 1, empty_blob() )
    returning theBlob into l_blob;
    l_bfile := bfilename( 'MY_FILES', 'aria.gif' );
    dbms_lob.fileopen( l_bfile );
    dbms_lob.loadfromfile( l_blob, l_bfile,
                               dbms_lob.getlength( l_bfile ) );
    dbms_lob.fileclose( l_bfile );
end;
/ 1) What value the l_blob variable will contain after returning clause
2)If we load value to l_blob variable using dbms_lob.loadfromfile() procedure,will it automatically load that value in the demo table.
Cheers,
Jey

The BLOB is store inside the database if that's what you mean.
For outside storage (ie in the OS file system), you need a BFILE.
Some precisions about the internal storage though.
Each LOB is associated with a segment of type "LOBSEGMENT" that resides in the same tablespace as the table (at creation time).
- LOB data can be stored "in-line" if its size is less than 4000 bytes and if the clause ENABLE STORAGE IN ROW is specified when creating table (that's the default).
- Otherwise, data is stored in the lob segment ("out-of-line" storage).

Connection reset when inserting file to BLOB column

Friends,
When inserting a file to a BLOB clomun and the file is more than 1KB, I receive the following message: java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Connection reset
The code is this:
int fileLength = (int)file.length();
System.out.println("File length: "+fileLength);
int cod = (int)(Math.random() * 1000);
String sql = "INSERT INTO BLOB_TABLE VALUES(?,?)";
try {
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
PreparedStatement pstmt = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
pstmt.setInt(1, cod);
pstmt.setBinaryStream(2, fis, fileLength);
pstmt.executeUpdate();
System.out.println("File insert sucess!");
connection.close();
Does anybody know what this can be? My database is oracle.
Thanks!

When you create objects on the database they are stored in the data dictionary by default in UPPER case.
So in this line:
src_loc bfile := bfilename('example_lob_dir', 'example.gif'); -- source location
you need to reference the name of the directory object in upper case. e.g.
src_loc bfile := bfilename('EXAMPLE_LOB_DIR', 'example.gif'); -- source location
;)
