Inserting Images in Database

Hi,
I am using forms6 and database is 8.0.5. I have images stored in a folder say c:\images\. I have a table for item master and the item code is same as the image name in the image folder. Eg : Item code -ABC123 so there is a image jpeg format by the name ABC123. All the records are created in item master.
Now if the user puts 10 images in this folder i want to read all this images and insert it in item master against this item code. Now i want to know the sql for this
1>Reading sequentially all the images from this folder
2>By the image file name read the itemcode from the item master and insert image in that record. I am using Long raw for storing the images.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I managed reading the images from the folder and but just stuck up with the problem.
Test -1
I declared a variable var_abc long raw.
read_image_file(v_filename,'ANY',var_abc);
update item_master set item_pict = var_abc where item_code = var_item;
Here it gives error at runtime on read_image_file for var_abc
Test-2
I created a nondatabase block and create a column txt_image with type as image.
read_image_file(v_filename,'ANY',:txt_image);
update item_master set item_pict = :txt_image where item_code = var_item;
Here it gives error at compilation on item_pict =:txt_image
Anyone can help me out where i am making mistake ?.

Insert Image in database from Java Prog, but some excp. occured

I want to insert the content of an Image file into my database, but I am getting the below exception.
I am reading the file and taking the content into a string. The string displays perfectly (if I print the string using system.out.println statement) but while inserting into database it gives problem.
Following is my code::
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class ImageInsert
public static void main(String args[])
try
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream("reshmi.gif"));
String str="" , ImageContent="";
while((str = dis.readLine()) != null )
ImageContent = ImageContent + str;
//System.out.println("Content :"+ str);
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:somedata" , "sa" , "");
Statement st = con.createStatement();
String as = "INSERT INTO TESTIMAGE (ImageFile) VALUES(\"" + ImageContent + "\")" ;
int q = st.executeUpdate(as);
System.out.println("The data Inserted:"+q);
}catch(Exception er) {er.printStackTrace();}
// end of code
Where as if I insert it manually in my SQL Server executing the insert statement it inserts the image perfectly:
Following Exceptions I am receivng :
*********** BELOW IS THE EXCEPTION********
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Unclosed quotation m
ark before the character string 'GIF89a��'.
at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.createSQLException(Compiled Code)
at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.standardError(JdbcOdbc.java:4246)
at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.SQLExecDirect(JdbcOdbc.java:1172)
at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcStatement.execute(JdbcOdbcStatement.java:206)
at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcStatement.executeUpdate(JdbcOdbcStatement.java:163)

It looks like imageContent contains a quote character, making your statement invalid. Something like
Insert into .... value("<some chars>..."...<some chars>")
Using single quotes will not resolve this problem since imageContent could also contains single quote chars.
Try using BLOBs instead strings. I don't know if SQLServer supports BLOBs but Oracle does.

Image in database

Insert into table
values(?,?)
In one of the code for inserting image into database ,for values " ? " has been put.What am I suppose to put therre .while storing an image into oracle 9i database it gives me error as Invalid hex number.
I am using JSP as my front end

catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(e);
}Exceptions have the wonderful printStackTrace() method which show you which line and which sourcefile actually caused the exception.
byte b[]=new byte[is.available()];
is.read(b);This looks dangerous. available() is not guaranteed to return the total size of the image.

Make sure you separate the database logic out.

Hi
Take a look to this code I found surfing, it creates an image from url then resize it and return it as byte array that you can use to set a blob in the database:
public static byte [] resizeImage(URL url,int widthConstraint,int heightConstraint) throws ImageFormatException, IOException
     ImageIcon imageIcon = new ImageIcon(url);
     Image img = imageIcon.getImage();
     int imgWidth = imageIcon.getIconWidth();
     int imgHeight = imageIcon.getIconHeight();
     ImageIcon adjustedImg=null;
     if ( imgWidth>0 && imgHeight>0)//imgWidth > widthConstraint | imgHeight > heightConstraint )
     if ( imgWidth > imgHeight )
       // Create a resizing ratio.
       double ratio = (double) imgWidth / (double)
        widthConstraint;
       int newHeight = (int) ( (double) imgHeight / ratio );
       // use Image.getScaledInstance( w, h,
       // constant), where constant is a constant
       // pulled from the Image class indicating how
       // process the image; smooth image, fast
       // processing, etc.
       adjustedImg = new ImageIcon(
        imageIcon.getImage().getScaledInstance(
          widthConstraint, newHeight,
          Image.SCALE_SMOOTH )
     else
       // Create a resizing ratio.
       double ratio = (double) imgHeight / (double)
        heightConstraint;
       int newWidth = (int) ( (double) imgWidth / ratio );
       adjustedImg = new ImageIcon(
       imageIcon.getImage().getScaledInstance( newWidth,
          heightConstraint, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH )
     int resizeWidth = adjustedImg.getIconWidth();
     int resizeHeight = adjustedImg.getIconHeight();
     Panel p = new Panel();
     BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(resizeWidth, resizeHeight,
     BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
     Graphics2D big = bi.createGraphics();
     big.drawImage(adjustedImg.getImage(), 0, 0, p);
     ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
     JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(os);
     encoder.encode(bi);
     byte[] byteArray = os.toByteArray();
     return byteArray;
else
return new byte[0];
   }hope this helps.

Insert Image file from java to ms access database

Are there any ways to insert image file or any files into microsoft access database and retrieve the file from the database. Guild will be helpful.Thank you.
regards
Singaravelan

The right answer? Don't do it. You should not be putting images in any database.
Better to write the image to the server's file system and add the path/link to the database instead.

Hashtable for multi part form to insert image and details to database:)

Hey guys do you have any samples on using hashtable in multipart form to insert image as well as details into database?:)
Oh it is because my form is using multipart from that enbales me to upload/Insert image into my database.
Howerver, I also need to insert other details into my database such as productid, ProdName, unitprice.....
Hence, My tutor suggested using hashtable.
However, I do not understnd.
Do you guys have any samples regarding on this?
Thanks

Saving images into database

Hi All,
I have a table with 3 BLOB columns to store images and a NUMBER type column to store the image id_no. I am using database 10g and Forms 6i
My problem is I recently updated the database from 8i to 10g, and since then I am unable to update or insert the new images in these BLOB columns. When I update the existing image or insert new image record through forms, It does save the changes in existing or new record. But It does not show these images while query the record. and also does not give any error while executing the query in forms.
But while trying to retrive the image from updated records or new record in reports, It throughs the error that image is format is unreadable or currupt.
There wasn't any problem in 8i, i could update the record as many times I wanted or create as many records as needed.
Is anybody have any clue about this problem! Any help in this regard will be highly appriciated.
Thanking you and Best Regards.

You should not save an image to database, since it'll make database slow, and difficult to write a web page to load image.
Save an image to specific location, and save image location to database.
Then, use <img> tag to call an image in web page.

Inserting images in Crystal Reports

Hello,
I have two questions regarding the use of pictures in a Crystal report :
1. Is there a maximum dpi resolution limit for pictures to be inserted in a Crystal Reports.
2. Is there a way to control the PDF output picture quality ? When exporting to PDF, the quality of the picture is reduced.
Thank you
Anthony

I have the following questions about inserting images into Crystal Reports:
1. Can the images be positioned horizontally?
2. When there is more that one image attached to a database record, can the number of images be limited in the report?
(For example, limit the number of images for each record to two.)
3. If there is more than one page to a record, how can the image for the record be suppressed on all pages subsequent to the first page of the report?
4. If there is no image attached to the database record, how the space reserved for the image closed up?
Thank you.
