Is it good idea to store video files in database?

Hi,
In my project I am storing everything in database BLOB column.
Everything includes images,documents,videos and any thing uploaded from form.
Someone suggested me that video should not be save in database.
I want to know it is good idea to store everything in database BLOB column?
- Thanks
Zohaib.

But I don't Recommend to store video in Database , Which it will effect on your Space and performance .That is the silliest thing I have ever heard. The alternative to storing it in a database is to store it on the file system, which takes up space and performance just as much.
Store away - BLOBs are fine for storing videos in the DB
Someone suggested me that video should not be save in databaseUnless they told you why, and backed it up with actual facts, I'd discount what they said by about 99.9999%

Can I store video files (from digital camera) on my 30GB ipod?

I'm leaving next week for holidays and I am looking for a storage device. I don't want to take my laptop with me as it is my employers. I want to be able to store video files from my Sony DSC-W30 camera. Does anyone know if the camera connection will work for this?

Well in case anyone was wondering. It works. You can't view them but they are all there. It is an excellent way to have digital storage device on the road. It does eat into the battery charge quite a bit though. Make sure it is well charged before you import photo's and video's.

Store PDF files in database.

hi all
how to store PDF files in database and how to retreive plz guide me thanks in davance.
sarah

Sarah,
so your pdf-document is stored in the database.
we jump over step 4 what would be the code for sending the pdf-file to the database ...
Step 5 open the stored pdf-file:
Please create a when-mouse-doubleclick trigger on your filename-item:
declare
l_temp_file constant varchar2(255) := client_win_api_environment.get_environment_string ( 'Temp' ) || '\temp.pdf';
begin
if
:pdf.filename is not null
then
if
    webutil_file_transfer.db_to_client ( l_temp_file, 'PDF', 'PDF', ' id_pdf = ''' || :pdf.id_pdf || '''' )
then
    client_host ( 'cmd /C start ' || l_temp_file );
else
    Message ( 'Failure while downloading ' || :pdf.filename || ' from the database. ' || dbms_error_text );
    Message ( ' ' );
    clear_message;
end if;
else
Message ( 'No PDF-file selected.' );
Message ( ' ' );
clear_message;
end if;
end;Save your form, compile and run it.
Execute a query on the pdf-block and doubleclick your filename item.
Now you can read your forms reference pdf direct from the database :).

Where should I store video files on Mac?

Where should I file video files on my new Mac?

Are these projects you've worked on in iPhoto or iMovie? Then they're stored in their libraries by default.
If they're just videos you've copied to your computer, you can store them in your User folder (little house icon) > make a new folder and name it Videos; or User folder > Documents > new folder Videos. Be aware that those are space hoggers and you need to have an absolute ,ini,u, of 10 - 15 GB of empty space on your hard drive at all times - more is much, much better. So, an external drive with all your videos might be a good solution - you can just drag & drop them there.

Help:- Store Word file in database using blob

Hai all,
i want to store word document in database and reterieve from database but i don't have any idea i heared about blob but i don't know how to make it any one have source code or example form pls send me
email: [email protected]

Hello,
First of all, you have got to be granted the privilege to read and write to the file system, this is a must to use BFile read access.
A global function bfilename returns a bfile taking the file path as an argument is needed to construct a blob object through dbms_lob.loadfromfile.
A very helpful example I found on orafaq follows:Create a link to the directory where the file to load in the blob is
(connect as system then grant read privilege to your user):
create or replace directory blob_dir as 'C:\Documents';
Custom the following procedure that I copied from a Thread
create or replace procedure blob_ins(p_id in number, p_filename in
varchar2) as
l_bfile bfile;
l_blob blob;
begin
insert into blob_test(p_id, empty_blob())
returning blob_file into l_blob;
l_bfile := bfilename('BLOB_DIR', p_filename);
dbms_lob.fileopen(l_bfile);
dbms_lob.loadfromfile(l_blob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.getlength(l_bfile));
dbms_lob.fileclose(l_bfile);
commit;
return;
end blob_ins;
You can use UTL_FILE package in another way, but this is much more safe;

How to store any file in database using Forms? EVEN non OLE Compliant

I have to store and retrieve any file (not only image and OLE compatilble file) in the database and retrieve it later without using Forms and email it using java stored procedure. How do I do that?
I used OLE, but the problem with this is later when I retrieve it, some OLE specific control information is also retrieved, which means the data stored is not only pure data.
In the forms, I just want to give the file name and it should store that file into the database as we do with READ_IMAGE_FILE. Is there any way of achieving this?
Thank you.

Can I store pdf in blob, and still search words in the pdfs?Probably not, no. If you want to search the data inside Oracle, you'll want to look at Oracle Multimedia.I think the correct answer is "not efficiently". :-)Well, there is nothing that prevents you from building Oracle Multimedia yourself and getting similar levels of efficiency. Other than a desire not to invest dozens of man-years replicating delivered functionality, of course.

Any good way to store configuration file?

I need to store some configuration information in a file from Java. This file will be used by a C++ module. I know we can use XMLEncoder to serialize a Java object to XML file. Is there a opensource C++ library that can parse the XML file something similar to XMLDecoder class?

There are plenty of C++ XML parsers, but nothing like the XML decoder class-
Firstly the format used by XML encoder is based on Java objects and is strongly tied to the structure of those objects. They won't exist in a general C++ application.
Secondly, C++ doesn't provide the reflection mechanisms that OO* languages use for that sort of task, so you'd have to have some form of factory pattern, and register all classes that may be created from your XML with that factory (something that may be automated with a little effort).
Pete
* or all other OO languages, if you don't consider having metaclasses as essential to OO-ness

How can i add video files in database

Hi
I want to insert avi files directly into the database
Pl suggest the method
regards
Dilip S

You need to investigate BLOB = Binary Large Objects.
Start with Google where you will find plenty of info to start with.
Next time, you'd better mentioned the OS and Oracle version (4 digits) that you are using.
HTH,
Thierry
Isn't it what you already asked?

Storing a Video File

Hi,
Is it Possible to store a Video file in database.
if yes ,Please let me know the datatype to be used .

Hi Chandra ,
SQL Server is providing a really useful architecture, called file
stream. It is a combination of the database and the file system, thus you have the advantages of both. This tutorial has it flaws, but it is a good
starting point: How
Do I: Use SQL File Stream

I can't play video files...PLEASE HELP!!!

I was changing the settings, for what..I don't know. But now I can't play any video files. I can store them and download them and play them back on my computer, but I can't access them on my BB.
Will someone please let me know what the original factory settings are for where to store video files?
I'm assuming that I am storing them in the wrong place, so now I can't access them.
I have turned off MTP and MSMS and this does not help either way.
I need to know what is the original file to store video files.

Hi Attila74,
What kind of video? Format? Codec needed? ... without that info is quite difficult to help you but I would bet you would need some additional codecs or simply try it with VLC.

I certainly wouldn't recommend trying to store that in a CLOB. I would however recommend it be stored as a BLOB.

Storing Video files in SharePoint 2010

Hello,
We are going to store video files in SharePoint 2010. In total, we may have about 6 GB of files in total in Asset Library. Is it too much? What is the best approach to keep video files in SharePoint? I planned to change upload size, because 50mb is not enough.
The largest file size will be 150 mb.
Thanks

+ to Cameron
Maximum file size limit is 2GB per, however that doesnot mean sharepoint will handle it without issues.
I have seen request time out, for files even lesser than 50MB, it is again a big process of changing these settings in IIS and web.config.
You can plan to have smaller files,but better to keep less than 50MB. Even worse if you have enabled versioning to asset library, which will keep increasing everytime the same file is uploaded.
Auditing asset library periodically would also help to plan the growth, to an extent keep the library within few GBs and then plan store space requirement.
Deciding library size will be big process, we have MS suggest 200 GB limit for Content databases, this limit also we need to consider while planning library size
This link should help to get the limits -
