Insert Image to table from a Non Database Field

Hallo,
db- 9i EE R2
forms - 6i R2
OS - W2003
I have a requirement to upload Images to the database from forms.
I planned to keep the transaction data and the Images separately in different tables with a reference.
So, I created the Image field (BLOB) with a Non Database Field in the Form and use a button to upload the Image. (using READ_IMAGE_FILE).
I tried to insert the Image to the Actual Image table in PRE-INSERT Trigger at block level.
But I was not able to Insert the using reference method. (Cannot compile the PRE-INSERT)
INSERT INTO IMAGE_TB (ID,IMAGE)
VALUES (IMAGE_SEQ.NEXTVAL, :ITINERARY_MAP.IMAGE);
So, Please help me to insert a image to different table from a Non Database Field?
Thanks

I don't think it will work with a non-db-item. But you could create a separate block based on your image_tb-table, use read_image_file on the then db-based-column and then simpy issue a commit_form.

...snipped...Not very nice code... why create an empty image row, then lock it (it is already locked by the uncommitted insert statement), and then update it again? Not very efficient or sensible.
image is on local machine.When a row is created on the server from user input on some PC, who supplied that input? Who read the user's keyboard input on that PC to obtain the values for the columns for the row to create?
Did PL/SQL read the keyboard of that remote PC? Of course not. The client program on that PC read the keyboard input. It then made a client call to the Oracle server. It supplied the data entered via the keyboard by the user to the Oracle server (using a PL/SQL call or using a SQL statement call to Oracle).
Now why would a local image data on that PC be treated any differently than the keyboard data on that PC? How can you expect PL/SQL code running on the Oracle server, to read that image data from the remote PC when the same PL/SQL code is incapable of reading keyboard input from that very same PC?
You need to review your understanding of client-server and how it pertains to using Oracle within client-server architecture.

How to import a table from another oracle database ?

Hi all ,
i could like to use pl/sql to import one table from another oracle database server ?
is it possible to do this ?
A server B server
table: test <------------------------> table : newtest
the tns profile already configurated . the connection is ready .
thanks a lot !
Best Regards,
Carlos

if i don't have TEST table on server B whether COPY command will create this table on server B with the same structure ? If you specify CREATE as a clause the table will be created:
SQL> help copy
COPY
COPY copies data from a query to a table in a local or remote
database. COPY supports CHAR, DATE, LONG, NUMBER and VARCHAR2.
COPY {FROM database | TO database | FROM database TO database}
            APPENDCREATE|INSERT|REPLACE} destination_table
            [(column, column, column, ...)] USING query
where database has the following syntax:

How do I get a value from a portal form for a non database field ? HELP!!

I have a form based off of a table that I added a field to. The form is to allow the user to change abbreviation for a
department field ie. BIO to BIOL. for a biology department. I have a pl/sql procedure for validation using the custom option
on the update button to verify the user and update the data. I have tested to code at the sql prompt and it works.
They only difference between the prompt and the form is the non-database field new_dept_abbr was added to the
form. I don't know how to capture the value of the user input into a variable that can be used in the pl/sql.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have tried this approach
v_new_dept_abbr := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
p_block_name => 'default',
p_attribute_name => 'new_dept_abbr'
have tried using p_attribute_name as 'a_new_dept_abbr' but this does work and does not exist in the body of the form.
Have also tried setting the p_block_name to _session - still doesn't work.
Any ideas??
Thanks
Debbie Brennan

Thanks for the info. I tried that and it still doesn't pull the value. I have opened a TAR via metalink, but I'm not getting any
satisfactory answers. I ran across an note - 137172.1 that has this snippet of information in it.
Unfortunately, at this time (portal 3.0.7.6.2) , a non-table item cannot be
referenced in a plsql event handler, only in client side JavaScript code. This
is a known limitation and will be fixed in a future release.
I don't know how to get the value from the client side JavaScript code to a pl/sql variable. Do you?
I've been trying to get them to tell me if the 'known issue' has been addressed in 3.0.9.
I'll keep at it. Thanks so much for your suggestion I appreciate it.

How to display records from a query into non-database field

Hi
I a have a problem:
I have a query with many tables and 6 column(select a,b,c,d,e,f from x,y,z,t,s,g where conditions) and I use 3 parameters.
I create 3 parameters :datai,:dataf and :partener and a button with a trigger when button is pressed.
Then a create a manualy block with six field non-database a1,b1,c1,d1,e1,f1.
Now I want to display all the records from my query into a1,b1,c1,d1,e1,f1 where a1=a,b1=b,etc. and all the records (if I have 20 record, it will display 20 records in non-database field) when I press the button.
How I made:
I create a cursor with query then
begin open cursor
loop
fetch cursor into :a1,:b1,:c1,:d1,:e1,:f1;
end loop;
close cursor;
end;
It display one record in a1,b1,c1 only and it have to display 100 records and are date for all the fields.
Can somebody help me in this problem?
Thanks.

Creating a view, and querying that into a database block is an excellent solution.
To use the non-database block:
You're missing the all-important Next_Record; command.
<pre> Begin
Go_block('X'); -- block X is the non-database block
Clear_Block(No_Validate);
open cursor X1;
loop
If :System.Record_status != 'NEW' then
Next_Record;
End if;
fetch X1 into :a1,:b1,:c1,:d1,:e1,:f1;
Exit when X1%NOTFOUND;
end loop;
close X1;
end;</pre>

Insert image into table

Please let me know how to insert images to table using SQLDeveloper?

Some history...
SQL Developer 1.2.1 actually does support loading BLOBs and it has an internal viewer that can display some, but not all, common extensions (e.g., jpeg images will display, but not flv - flash). The 1.2.1 UI is different than the 3.0/3.1 UI Jim describes in his blog post: double clicking on a BLOB cell in the Table Data tab causes it to display a "..." at the right-side of the cell. Clicking that takes you to the Edit Value dialog where Load/Save/View capability resides.
External editor support was in place at least by 2.1, but large BLOBs seem rather slow to load. Improved performance and the current UI appeared at least by 3.0, including the Pencil icon and the hyperlinks.

Insert Data into Table from TXT or CSV file !!!!!

Dear All,
Recently I have started working on APEX. In Oracle Forms, we used to use TEXT_IO for inserting records into tables from txt files. Now I want to do the same thing in apex 3.2. How can I insert data into tables from txt of csv files.
Waiting of your valuable suggestions.
With kind regards,
Yousuf.

Yousuf
wwv_flow_files is used by APEX to hold uploaded files.
If you incorporate a file browse item on you page, browse for the selected file, then submit the page (having the PL/SQL process described as an on suibmit process) then what I detailed should work.
If you don't need users to have access to this then just go to Home>Utilities>Data Load/Unload in APEX and there is a handy load utility there that does it all for you.
Cheers

Xml file, non database field etc..

Hi,
There is a requirement for putting a non database field in an
infobus grid control and populating it with some value at the
runtime. As this is not directly available in gridcontrol, many
have tried using a join query as I could see from the
postings.(Like select deptcode,desc from emp, dept where
emp.deptcode = dept.deptcode). This works well when the data is
queried from the database. But when a new deptcode is entered, it
is not possible to get the corrosponding value from the database
and show it on this field, as u get readonly attribute error.
Even if u explicitly change the attribute to updateable the error
will remain as such.
The cause of this problem, I have tracked down to the xml file.
The entity for the updateable table (in this case EMP) does not
have the attribute for deptdesc. If this is manually added, it is
possible to add values to the deptdesc column. The catch is when
inserting a row to the database. All the attributes in the
entity
will appear in the insert statement and u end up with an invalid
column name error for the deptdesc column.
Seeing this consistant behaviour, I assume that the insert
statement is created by parsing the xml file. Had there been an
attribute value in the xml file for insert into database (just
like IsNotNull etc.. perhaps IsUpdateable which can be set
manually), while parsing this attribute can be removed.
To do this I would like to know where this xml parser is
implemented in jdev. Is it possible for me to change its
behaviour or can I expect to get a patch for this? This
functionaliy is very much essential for me, as I am in the middle
of a very large project using jdev2.0. I don't mind implementing
it, if the source is available.
Any helpful suggestions, comments are welcome. Sorry for the long
post and thanks

I don't think it will work with a non-db-item. But you could create a separate block based on your image_tb-table, use read_image_file on the then db-based-column and then simpy issue a commit_form.

Update of non-database fields mapped to database fields

I have two columns start month and start year which
are non-database columns and which map to one database
field start date in the database.
I have a post-query trigger on the start month and
start year fields to derive the value from the
database field start date when the form is queried.
When I try to update the form, the update does not
work - if I remove the post-query trigger then the
update works but, the month and year non-database
fields do not get queried.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Suzanne

since those 2 fields are not connected to the database field you need to code the update to the database.
Use the pre-insert trigger and set the value of the date item according to the values of the 2 fields.

Passing url parameter values to a non database field

Hi,
How do I pass values from the url to a non database field ?
The following works for a database field:

but if I use the same for a non database field item20 it doesn't do anything.

Hi Matthew,
I think there is no difference in database insert between OO and non-OO.
The correct syntax according to ECC600 online documentation is
[Inserting Several Lines|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/fc/eb3a6d358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm]
To insert several lines into a database table, use the following:
INSERT target FROM TABLE itab \[ACCEPTING DUPLICATE KEYS].
This writes all lines of the internal table itabto the database table in one single operation. If one or more lines cannot be inserted because the database already contains a line with the same primary key, a runtime error occurs. You can prevent the runtime error occurring by using the addition ACCEPTING DUPLICATE KEYS.
Whenever you want to insert more than one line into a database table, it is more efficient to work with an internal table than to insert the lines one by one.
I think the syntax
INSERT my_dbtable FROM TABLE gi_data.
should work, your suggestion may lead to syntax error.

Clemens
