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.

How to insert a pdf or jpeg image into a blob column of a table

How to insert a pdf or jpeg image into a blob column of a table

Hi,
Try This
Loading an image into a BLOB column and displaying it via OAS
The steps are as follows:
Step 1.
Create a table to store the blobs:
create table blobs
( id varchar2(255),
blob_col blob
Step 2.
Create a logical directory in the database to the physical file system:
create or replace directory MY_FILES as 'c:\images';
Step 3.
Create a procedure to load the blobs from the file system using the logical
directory. The gif "aria.gif" must exist in c:\images.
create or replace procedure insert_img as
f_lob bfile;
b_lob blob;
begin
insert into blobs values ( 'MyGif', empty_blob() )
return blob_col into b_lob;
f_lob := bfilename( 'MY_FILES', 'aria.gif' );
dbms_lob.fileopen(f_lob, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
dbms_lob.loadfromfile( b_lob, f_lob, dbms_lob.getlength(f_lob) );
dbms_lob.fileclose(f_lob);
commit;
end;
Step 4.
Create a procedure that is called via Oracle Application Server to display the
image.
create or replace procedure get_img as
vblob blob;
buffer raw(32000);
buffer_size integer := 32000;
offset integer := 1;
length number;
begin
owa_util.mime_header('image/gif');
select blob_col into vblob from blobs where id = 'MyGif';
length := dbms_lob.getlength(vblob);
while offset < length loop
dbms_lob.read(vblob, buffer_size, offset, buffer);
htp.prn(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(buffer));
offset := offset + buffer_size;
end loop;
exception
when others then
htp.p(sqlerrm);
end;
Step 5.
Use the PL/SQL cartridge to call the get_img procedure
OR
Create that procedure as a function and invoke it within your PL/SQL code to
place the images appropriately on your HTML page via the PL/SQL toolkit.
from a html form
1. Create an HTML form where the image field will be <input type="file">. You also
need the file MIME type .
2. Create a procedure receiving the form parameters. The file field will be a Varchar2
parameter, because you receive the image path not the image itself.
3. Insert the image file into table using "Create directory NAME as IMAGE_PATH" and
then use "Insert into TABLE (consecutive, BLOB_OBJECT, MIME_OBJECT) values (sequence.nextval,
EMPTY_BLOB(), 'GIF' or 'JPEG') returning BLOB_OBJECT, consecutive into variable_blob,
variable_consecutive.
4. Load the file into table using:
dbms_lob.loadfromfile(variable_blob, variable_file_name, dbms_lob.getlength(variable_file_name));
dbms_lob.fileclose(variable_file_name);
commit.

How can I insert a image into a BLOB column in a table?

I am using forms6i against a 10gR2 database and I have one table with a BLOB column and I try to insert a image into this column. I get ORA-01461 error.

What happens with the first table? How can I avoid the error?
Thanks in advance.

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.

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.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE insert_image_file (p_id NUMBER, p_image_name IN VARCHAR2)
...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.

Is there a way to Insert Data into a Lookup Column Type on a SharePoint List Destination in SSIS?

Greetings.
I have successfully worked out inserting SQL data (2008 R2) into my 2010 SharePoint list (New, Update, Delete) by creating an SSIS Data Flow Task as outlined here:
http://fsugeiger.blogspot.com/2010/01/synchronise-sql-table-with-sharepoint.html
However, the problem I am running into is inserting data into the SharePoint Columns that are "Lookup" column types. I verified that all of the values I am copying from SQL into the SharePoint lookup column exist in the customn list it is pointing to. It
is important to have this column be a lookup column as it links to another custom list that has many more columns of related information.
I have read and re-read the SharePoint SSIS Adapters 2011.docx from
http://sqlsrvintegrationsrv.codeplex.com/ and the only section that seems to apply is this:
"Looking Up Values in a SharePoint List
If you have to look up a value in a SharePoint list, you can use the Lookup transformation in your data flow, and use the SharePoint List source to load the lookup table. You may have to add a Derived Column transformation or a Script component that splits
data in the lookup column on the ";#" delimiter to separate the ID value from the description.
If you are replacing values in your data with the values that you look up in the list, then loading the changed data back into SharePoint, you only have to include the ID from the lookup column. SharePoint ignores the description if you include it."
I am not sure if the above statement means that I should be passing the assocaited ID's other than the actual data into the SharePoint List destination. If that is the case, that will not really work as the lookup contains hundreds of rows. Not too mention
I have several of these lookup column types pointing to several different lists.
Any guidance in how I can put data into a SharePoint Lookup column type via Data Flow Task would be so much appreaciated.
Thank you.
My errors are:
Error: 0x0 at Data Flow Task, SharePoint List Destination: Error on row ID="1": 0x1 - Unspecified error, such as too many items being updated at once (batch), or an invalid core field value.
Error: 0xC0047062 at Data Flow Task, SharePoint List Destination [1903]: Microsoft.Samples.SqlServer.SSIS.SharePointListAdapters.PipelineProcessException: Errors detected in this component - see SSIS Errors at Microsoft.Samples.SqlServer.SSIS.SharePointListAdapters.SharePointListDestination.ProcessInput(Int32
inputID, PipelineBuffer buffer) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ManagedComponentHost.HostProcessInput(IDTSManagedComponentWrapper100 wrapper, Int32 inputID, IDTSBuffer100 pDTSBuffer, IntPtr bufferWirePacket)
Error: 0xC0047022 at Data Flow Task, SSIS.Pipeline: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PROCESSINPUTFAILED. The ProcessInput method on component "SharePoint List Destination" (1903) failed with error code 0x80131500 while processing input "Component Input" (1912). The identified
component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will

I have found a solution to my problem and thought I would share it here in case there are others who are struggling with the above scenario. If you have a better way, I would love to hear about it since my way is a bit tedious.
In a nutshell, in order to have an SSIS package put data from an OLE DB Source into a SharePoint List Destination Lookup Column, you need to pass the ID of the value that is being looked up, not the value that is in the “master” OLE DB source.
Rough explanation, OLE DB Source value for column “Approp” is “4005” --> SQL matches “4005” with the ID in the new lookup table (“4005” = ID “5” as defined in the SharePoint lookup list) --> “5” gets passed into SharePoint List destination lookup
column --> SharePoint displays “4005” and successfully links to the lookup list.
Funny thing (not really), the error(s) outlined in my original post are not related in getting data into a SharePoint Lookup column as I am now successful in getting data into the system but I am still getting the same above error(s). I think it has to do
with the ID column in the SharePoint list destination. What I can’t seem to figure out is why since I am not linking any data to that ID column (at least on new records). I am however linking it on Update and Delete and the errors mentioned above disappear
and things work well.
There are three tasks that need to get done in order to get data from SQL into a SharePoint lookup column assuming you have already set up your SharePoint lookup lists:
1. Create new lookup table(s) in SQL that has the IDs from the SharePoint Lookup list and the values coming from the “master” OLD DB Source. You can see the ID column in SharePoint by toggling it on in a view.
2. Create a SQL command that JOINs all the databases and tables so that the ID is passed and not the value into the SharePoint lookup column
3. Change the “Data access mode” to “SQL Command” instead of the “Table or view” in the OLE DB Source and paste your command into the “SQL command text:” area.
Other helpful info is that you may also need to add additional columns in the new lookup tables in SQL for the scenarios when the data is not unique. You can see this two times in my SQL command example for Units and JobTitles:
SELECT
pps.SSNm,
pps.file_updated,
pps.Employee_id,
/* pps.CheckDistNm,*/
Check_Distribution_id = COALESCE( d.ID, 0 ),
pps.Job_nbr,
pps.SeqNm,
pps.action_eff_dt,
Fund_id = COALESCE( f.id, 0 ),
Appropriation_id = COALESCE( ap.id, 0 ),
ActionCode_id = COALESCE( ac.id, 0 ),
SpecNumber_id = COALESCE( jt.ID, 0 ),
pps.Employee_id,
/* pps.Fund,
pps.Approp,
pps.Unit,*/
Unit_id = COALESCE( u.ID, 0 ),
PosNm,
PosCode,
pps.LastName,
pps.FirstName,
pps.MI
FROM
x_PPS.aReportVw.pps_screens_active AS pps
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.DistributionNumbers AS d ON
pps.CheckDistNm = d.Check_Distribution
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Units AS u ON
pps.Fund = u.Fund AND
pps.Approp = u.Approp AND
pps.Unit = u.Unit

Inserting images into a movie that are not photos

Is there anyway to insert images into an iMovie (such as *.gif) files? Alternatively, is there anyway to insert powerpoint slides into an iMovie (because I can easily get the images into power point).
Can I put an image in one of the title frames or transitions?
Thanks
Dan

I am not sure about gif (but you could easily try it). JPEGS (.jpg) work and .png work for sure.
It is straightforward to save a powerpoint page as a jpeg.

Correct workflow when inserting images into text, InDesign CS4

Hi,
I am new to InDesign and I have a problem regarding a really basic thing and I would be very grateful for help.
I am writing an article which is about 10 pages long. It consists mostly of text. I have finished writing and now I want to add some illustrations with descriptions. I've already figured out it's best to insert images into the text frame so they behave as "anchored objects" and they move together with text when I add or delete something on previous pages. Now I would like to place TWO OR MORE images, one next to each other, in a line. This is a bit tricky but I created an object style with Position: Custom in "Anchored object options" and it works more or less fine. This works great but now it would be hard to add descriptions to these images that would still be anchored.
So I created something different. I made an empty rectangle frame, a small text frame under it and grouped them. Then I placed it in my master text frame and basically did the same thing as for previously described images. Now I place the newly loaded image in the empty rectangular frame and add text in the empty text frame. BUT now I have problems with frame size for different-size images.
What if I have a REALLY LONG article and want to add LOTS of images with decriptions that would be anchored in the text so I can edit previous pages? I can do this my way, but it's extremely uncomfortable and takes ages. Is there any comfortable, non-destructive workflow for doing such things?
Sorry for my English.

Hi,
I would recommend following steps:
Place one or more images
Don't anchor them yet.
Arange them (the images) relatively to each other, add a text frame and arrange them correct relatively to the images.
Group images and text
Copy (or cut) them into the clippboard
Set the curser into the text where it should flow
Paste it
Adjust the anchored object (the group)
You need to group several objects to anchor them together as one anchor.
Further recommendation:
For the images I would specify an object style for fitting, stroke, corner optione.
For text frames I would specify an object style for text object options, like text offset, and used paragraph style, no boarder, etc.
For the group I would spcify an object style which leaves above mentioned settings undefined (option field is grea or has a dash). But the anchored position of the whole group and text wrapping should be specified.
