Insert picture in a blob column and show in oracle forms

hi ,
please help me with this
I am trying to insert a picture into a blob column of a table and show that in oracle forms , but not able to do it .
I am using version 10g for both database and forms .
Please tell me how to insert a picture in a blob column that is stored in my 'c:\test' folder
and also how to show that in forms .

To populate the Image Item you have to use the Webutil Client_Read_Image_File() built-in.
here
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/forms/10g/state?navSetId=_&navId=3&vtTopicFile=f1_help/builtn_r/readimag.html&vtTopicId=
To add an Image Item to your block based on the table that contains the BLOB column, then give this Image Item the BLOB column name.
So that, all you have to do is to execute query on that block.

Inserting Image into a BLOB column in Oracle9i

Hi,
I am unable to insert image into a BLOB column. I am using Forms 6i REL 2 and Oracle 9i. But I could do it on Oracle 8i with same Forms version.
Same thing is true for CLOB in 9i.
Would you please try with this code?
TABLE
Create table x
(Id number,
Name CLOB,
Pict BLOB);
WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigge
declare
     x varchar2(265);
begin
     x := get_file_name;
     read_image_file (x, 'GIF', 'picture.pict');
end;
Take care,
Tarek

Forms 9i and Oracle 9i work fine together for this case.

Sample insert into table with BLOB column

This is my first opportunity to work with BLOB columns. I was wondering if anyone had some sample code that shows the loading of a blob column and inserted into the table with a blob column.
I have to produce a report (including crlf) and place it into a blob column. The user will download the report at a later time.
Any suggestions / code samples are greatly appreciated!!!!

You can enable string binding in TopLink.
login.useStringBinding(int size);
or you could enable binding in general,
login.bindAllParameters();

Problem with blob column index created using Oracle Text.

Hi,
I'm running Oracle Database 10g 10.2.0.1.0 standard edition one, on windows server 2003 R2 x64.
I have a table with a blob column which contains pdf document.
Then, I create an index using the following script so that I can do fulltext search using Oracle Text.
CREATE INDEX DMCS.T_DMCS_FILE_DF_FILE_IDX ON DMCS.T_DMCS_FILE
(DF_FILE)
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
PARAMETERS('DATASTORE CTXSYS.DEFAULT_DATASTORE');
However, the index is not searchable and I check the following tables created by database for my index and found them to be empty as well !!
DR$T_DMCS_FILE_DF_FILE_IDX$I
DR$T_DMCS_FILE_DF_FILE_IDX$K
DR$T_DMCS_FILE_DF_FILE_IDX$N
DR$T_DMCS_FILE_DF_FILE_IDX$R
I wonder what's wrong with it.
My user has been granted the ctx_app role and I have other tables that store plain text which I use Oracle Text are fine. I even output the blob column and save as pdf file and they are fine.
However the database seems like not indexing my blob column although the index can be created without error.
Please advise.
Really appreciate anyone who can help.
Thank you.

The situation is I have already loaded a few pdf document into the table's blob column.
After I create the Oracle text index on this blob column, I find the system generated index tables listed in my earlier posting are empty, except for the 4th table.
Normally we'll see words inside the table where those are the words indexed by oracle text on my document.
As a result, no matter how i search for the index using select statement with contains operator, it will not give me any result.
I feel weird why the blob is not indexed. The content of the blob are actually valid because I tested this by export the content back to pdf and I can still view and search within the pdf.

Jap.

How to read a XML file from BLOB column and insert in a table - PL/SQL Only

Hi,
To make data load more simple to end user instead placing file on the server and use SQL-LOADER, I came up with new idea that using oracle ebusiness suite attachment functionality. that loads a XML file from local PC to a database column(table is fnd_attachments, default data type is BLOB over here).
I tried with DBMS_LOB and didnt get around.
Please can anyone tell me how to read the BLOB column using PL/SQL and store the data in a oracle table. Here's the sample XML file and table structure FYI.

I have a question for you: Inserting Word document in BLOB column

Hey Experts,
I have found a good info and a sample on how to achieve this on

declare
f_lob bfile;
b_lob blob;
begin
insert into sam_emp(empno,ename,resume)

I have a jsp project and the users ( on the client side)must be
able to create a word document and send it to the server with an
uplaod servlet. With another servlet or jsp i want to process
this word document in BLOB column using JAVA. The sample above
uses PL/SQL to achieve this. Is there a way i can do this in my
servlet/jsp to do the same thing?
Any hints are welcome!

The option should be visible here: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Printing%20a%20web%20page#w_print-window-settings
Print range section - Lets you specify which pages of the current web page are printed:
* Select '''All''' to print everything.
* Select '''Pages''' and enter the range of pages you want to print. For example, selecting "from 1 to 1" prints the first page only.
* Select '''Selection''' to print only the part the page you've highlighted.
Does it work for you?

If you are using version 9 or 10 use webutil.... Look in webutil.pll.
Use either one these two fuctions...

Problem full-text in blob column index created using Oracle Text

Hi,
I'm running Oracle Database 10g 10.2 on solaris
I configure Oracle text if i look for in a varchar2 column is ok, but with blob column doesn't works the search.
I have a table with a blob column which contains document. I load document with Oracle UCM (stellent)
My index scripts is:
CREATE INDEX ORAUCM.FT_IDCCOLL1 ON ORAUCM.IDCCOLL1
(DDOCFULLTEXT)
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
PARAMETERS('DATASTORE CTXSYS.DEFAULT_DATASTORE FILTER CTXSYS.AUTO_FILTER FORMAT COLUMN DFULLTEXTFORMAT CHARSET
COLUMN DFULLTEXTCHARSET LEXER OCS_IDCCOLL1_LEXER SYNC (ON COMMIT)')
NOPARALLEL;
And my select retunm 0 rows although it will be many documents:
SELECT IdcColl2.dID, dDocName, dDocTitle, dDocType, dRevisionID, dSecurityGroup, dDocAuthor,
dDocAccount, dRevLabel, dFormat, dOriginalName, dExtension, dWebExtension, dInDate, dOutDate,
dPublishType, dRendition1, dRendition2, VaultFileSize, WebFileSize, URL, dFullTextFormat,
dFullTextCharset, DocMeta.*
FROM IdcColl1, DocMeta
WHERE IdcColl1.dID=DocMeta.dID AND (CONTAINS(dDocFullText,'SUBIR') > 0 )
ORDER BY dInDate Desc
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your answer.
I response your question:
- yes DDOCFULLTEXT is a BLOB column.
- The document that word, excels, whatever. We load the document with UCM (universal Content Management)
because i need full-test search form UCM tool.
- Yes 'subir' containts in the word document.
- select * from CTX_USER_INDEX_ERRORS ;
No rows returned.
- SELECT TOKEN_TEXT FROM DR$FT_IDCCOLL1$I
No rows returned.
- I tried create symplifying index and doen't work.
I tried create table and index context on oracle 10.2.0.3 (test database)and works ok.
I compared both context (test database and ucm database) and i saw a difference:
In ucm database there are these preferences "analyze text"
BEGIN ctx_ddl.create_preference('ORAUCM.', 'WORLD_LEXER'); end;
BEGIN ctx_ddl.create_preference('ORAUCM.', 'DETAIL_DATASTORE'); end;
I don't know if is important diference or no.
Please if you need more information, tell me.
Thanks for your time.

Cannot load Java plug-in and access R12 Oracle form from client

Hi, one of my user cannot open Oracle form when accessing R12 environment using IE6. After selecting responsibility and menu, it got stuck after 50% processing when trying to load Java applet. It never got completed even after waiting for 2-3 hours.
Is there any browser setting that needs to be modified? I checked popup blocker and activeX setting. All seem to be in order. Kindly assist. Thanks.

Hi,
What is the difference between this client and other clients?
Delete the browser cache/history files and check then. If this does not help, enable trace for JRE (as per Note: 549423.1 - How to enable tracing and logging for Sun JRE (Native Plug-in)) and see if it shows any errors when you encounter this issue.

Copy and Paste from Oracle Forms to Excel

Hi to All,
I ran into this unusal problem with one user. She is trying to copy data in a cell from oracle form to excel. She does control+c and tries to control+v in excel. The data does not get pasted.
I tried logging into oracle on her pc and do the same method. I get the same results.
We tried copy from the menu bar in oracle and go into excel , menu and do paste. And it does not paste.
I did a test from copy from word document to excel...that worked.
We tried a different pc and everything worked.
Is there a setting in oracle when i do a copy that is not copyin the cell correctly. Any tips how to resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance for help in this matter.

If it only happens on one PC, then usually there is a problem with the PC showing the "yellow bars" when logging into Oracle Forms. Otherwise, there is a more global problem with unsigned JAR files on the server.
