Load .bmp file into BLOB column in 9i - how to?

Hello all,
How do I update a table with a BLOB column with a .bmp file in 9i? I tried using the DBMS_LOB package but got a ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: invalid LOB locator specified: ORA-22275 (and since there is more native support in 9i, I'm not sure I need it to begin with). We do not have Inter-Media. tia [email protected]

How to load rm file into ordAudio column?

Hello everybody,
I made many attempts trying to insert aa.mp3(3.63Mb) and bb.rm(3.58Mb) file into ORDSYS.ordAudio column respectively with the same way.
the result is: aa.mp3 was inserted successfully, but the bb.rm was not. It showed the error message: "java.sql.SQLException:ORA-01401:inserted value too large for column"
Why? How can I insert *.rm into the ordAudio column?
main code are grateful.

1.tonight, I made another trying to insert aa.mp3(3.63Mb) and bb.rm(3.58Mb) file into ORDSYS.ordAudio column respectively with the same way.
the result is: aa.mp3 was inserted successfully, but the bb.rm was not. It showed the error message: "java.sql.SQLException:ORA-01401:inserted value too large for column"
And the main code is as following:
private final static String EMPTY_AUDIO = "ordsys.ordaudio.init()"; //declare the EMPTY_AUDIO
stmt = (OraclePreparedStatement)conn.prepareStatement( //
"insert into TAB_NOAUDIT_AUDIO(NOAU_AU_SERIALNUMBER,"+
"NOAU_AU_TYPE,NOAU_AU_KEYWORD,NOAU_AU_FILENAME,"+
"NOAU_AU_MEDIA)"+
" values (?,?,?,?," + EMPTY_AUDIO +")" );
stmt.setString( 1, id );
stmt.setString( 2, filetype );
stmt.setString( 3, new String(keyword.getBytes("ISO8859-1")) );
stmt.setString( 4, new String(filename.getBytes("ISO8859-1")) );
// System.out.println("after 4th set..()!!");
stmt.executeUpdate();
stmt.close();
//load the audio media file into table
stmt=(OraclePreparedStatement)conn.prepareStatement(
"select NOAU_AU_MEDIA from TAB_NOAUDIT_AUDIO where NOAU_AU_SERIALNUMBER = ? for update" );
stmt.setString( 1, id );
rset = (OracleResultSet)stmt.executeQuery();
while(rset.next()) {
media = (OrdAudio)rset.getCustomDatum( 1, OrdAudio.getFactory());
File file = new File(filepath);
FileInputStream fStream = new FileInputStream(file);
media.loadDataFromInputStream(fStream);
// System.out.println("after aumedia.loadDataFromInputStream()!!");
fStream.close();
I don't know why the error occured?
Whether the rm file format is not recognized by ORDSYS.ordAudio or not?
How can i do next?
The error you get has nothing to do with the size of the media data. The error you are getting has to do with another field somewhere I think. The error you say has nothing to do with media data, but regular SQL.
It all depends on where the error is... Do you get the error on the media.loadDataFromInputStream(fStream);? I suspect, you are getting the error on the insert. and that id or filetype are too big for the column.
Could you tell me where the problem occurs? On the first insert? on the update?? I really can't debug with the amount of information here.
In general, for debugging problems, you need to break it down smaller to find the errror.
Pleas break down your insert to find the problem.
2.Would you mind telling me more detail step or code for copying ordAudio data from table
to another table with the same ORDSYS.ordAudio column property?
One media column to another would simply be
select sound into soundvar from oldtable where .....
insert into newtable(newsound) values (soundvar) where ...;
If from a lob....
select lob into lobvar from....
soundvar.source.localdata := lob;
soundvar.setlocal();
soundvar.setProperties();

How to load externl files (PDF) into BLOB column. Please help.

Hi All,
I've currently been working on loading many external binary files (PDF) into BLOB column. After some digging, I learn that the SQL*LOADER can be used to load data from external files into table. I also got help from another forummate mentioning to use PL/SQL procedure to do so. Since I have not done anything like this before. So, my question is what is the simple approach needed to upload PDF files into a table(there is only one table containing BLOB column in my database). In addition, the LOBs can not be query-able, I wanted to list the contents of the LOBs column to make sure that I did successfully upload data into the database. How can I do that?. I do need your help. Please direct me step by step how to do so. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Problem with loading file to BLOB column

I am attempting to load up a .gif gile into a BLOB column in my database.
I created the directory as below:
===
SQL> create or replace directory example_lob_dir as 'C:\temp';
Directory created.
===
Next I created the following procedure to load the file into the BLOB column:
====
create or replace procedure load_blob as
dest_loc blob; -- destination location
src_loc bfile := bfilename('example_lob_dir', 'example.gif'); -- source location
begin
-- Insert intial BLOB value
insert into test_blob(id, file_name, image)
values (1, 'test.gif', empty_blob())
returning image into dest_loc;
-- Open the source BFILE
dbms_lob.open(src_loc, dbms_lob.lob_readonly);
-- Open the LOB (optional)
dbms_lob.open(dest_loc, dbms_lob.lob_readwrite);
-- Load the file
dbms_lob.loadfromfile(
dest_lob => dest_loc,
src_lob => src_loc,
amount => dbms_lob.getlength(src_loc));
-- Close LOBs
dbms_lob.close(dest_loc);
dbms_lob.close(src_loc);
commit;
end load_blob;
===
The file is definitely in the C:\temp folder and is named correctly. I am working in WinXP with Oracle10gXE and both server and client are on the same machine.
The procedure compiles without any errors but when I attempt to run it I get an error message as below:
==
SQL> exec load_blob
BEGIN load_blob; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22285: non-existent directory or file for FILEOPEN operation
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 716
ORA-06512: at "FTM.LOAD_BLOB", line 14
ORA-06512: at line 1
==
Any help would be much appreciated.

When you create objects on the database they are stored in the data dictionary by default in UPPER case.
So in this line:
src_loc bfile := bfilename('example_lob_dir', 'example.gif'); -- source location
you need to reference the name of the directory object in upper case. e.g.
src_loc bfile := bfilename('EXAMPLE_LOB_DIR', 'example.gif'); -- source location
;)

Once the PDF file is inserted in the PDM table, i am not able to read the PDF data from the below code, This code converts the binary data into the Character data i.e BLOB data into the CLOB, but still the data is not proper which is getting inserted PDF is proprietary format of Adobe. And you cant just read it from pl/sql. You need Adobe software installed in your client machine to view it.
Here is an example of how to do it.

How to read/write .CSV file into CLOB column in a table of Oracle 10g

I have a requirement which is nothing but a table has two column
create table emp_data (empid number, report clob)
Here REPORT column is CLOB data type which used to load the data from the .csv file.
The requirement here is
1) How to load data from .CSV file into CLOB column along with empid using DBMS_lob utility
2) How to read report columns which should return all the columns present in the .CSV file (dynamically because every csv file may have different number of columns) along with the primariy key empid).
eg: empid report_field1 report_field2
1 x y
Any help would be appreciated.

If I understand you right, you want each row in your table to contain an emp_id and the complete text of a multi-record .csv file.
It's not clear how you relate emp_id to the appropriate file to be read. Is the emp_id stored in the csv file?
To read the file, you can use functions from [UTL_FILE|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/u_file.htm#BABGGEDF] (as long as the file is in a directory accessible to the Oracle server):
declare
    lt_report_clob CLOB;
    l_max_line_length integer := 1024;   -- set as high as the longest line in your file
    l_infile UTL_FILE.file_type;
    l_buffer varchar2(1024);
    l_emp_id report_table.emp_id%type := 123; -- not clear where emp_id comes from
    l_filename varchar2(200) := 'my_file_name.csv';   -- get this from somewhere
begin
   -- open the file; we assume an Oracle directory has already been created
    l_infile := utl_file.fopen('CSV_DIRECTORY', l_filename, 'r', l_max_line_length);
    -- initialise the empty clob
    dbms_lob.createtemporary(lt_report_clob, TRUE, DBMS_LOB.session);
    loop
      begin
         utl_file.get_line(l_infile, l_buffer);
         dbms_lob.append(lt_report_clob, l_buffer);
      exception
         when no_data_found then
             exit;
      end;
    end loop;
    insert into report_table (emp_id, report)
    values (l_emp_id, lt_report_clob);
    -- free the temporary lob
    dbms_lob.freetemporary(lt_report_clob);
   -- close the file
   UTL_FILE.fclose(l_infile);
end;This simple line-by-line approach is easy to understand, and gives you an opportunity (if you want) to take each line in the file and transform it (for example, you could transform it into a nested table, or into XML). However it can be rather slow if there are many records in the csv file - the lob_append operation is not particularly efficient. I was able to improve the efficiency by caching the lines in a VARCHAR2 up to a maximum cache size, and only then appending to the LOB - see [three posts on my blog|http://preferisco.blogspot.com/search/label/lob].
There is at least one other possibility:
- you could use [DBMS_LOB.loadclobfromfile|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_lob.htm#i998978]. I've not tried this before myself, but I think the procedure is described [here in the 9i docs|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96591/adl12bfl.htm#879711]. This is likely to be faster than UTL_FILE (because it is all happening in the underlying DBMS_LOB package, possibly in a native way).
That's all for now. I haven't yet answered your question on how to report data back out of the CLOB. I would like to know how you associate employees with files; what happens if there is > 1 file per employee, etc.
HTH
Regards Nigel
Edited by: nthomas on Mar 2, 2009 11:22 AM - don't forget to fclose the file...

Problem in uploading a file to BLOB column in ADF

Hi,
I was trying to upload a file and storing into BLOB column in the DB. I was trying the exercise that was given in
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2004/09/23/notYetDocumentedAdfSampleApplications.html85th sample application.
When I was running my application, it kept on repeating the 'Please supply a valid file name to upload' messge. I do select a file and then click 'Upload' button. While clicking 'Upload' button I am getting this messge.
Could you please help me in resolving this issue?
And I see 10.1.3.2 version of jdev ready for download in forum. Could you please tell me whether the issue that was present in uploading a file to the database is resolved in this version or not? Can I use this version for my ADF application?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Priya.S

The example doesnt work correctly. It throws an exception as in http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/10.1.3.1/10.1.3.1addendum.html#upload
It is also mentioned that 10.1.3.2 doesnt have this issue. So can I use the recent jdev for my ADF application?
Thanks,
Priya.S

Sql loader - mutiple values into one column

Hi,
Is it possible to load multiple fields into one column. Eg, my table structure has two columns COL1, COL2 and my data file is comma delimted with 3 fields A,B,C.
How could i use sql loader to achieve (without the use of temp tables)
COL1 = A
COL2 = BC
Thanks

I don't understand why you can't modify the input fille.
But anyway, i have 2 ways to help you
1. Make new inputfile online using pipe and awk(or something your are familiar with) and use it as new input file.
This is a traditional and powerful method in Unix environment.
For instance:
oracle> $ mknod pipe.dat p
oracle> cat input.dat | awk '{print ...}' > pipe.dat &
oracle> sqlldr ctl=.. data=pipe.dat
Using this method, you don't need to modify original input file physically, but by some magical trick you can modify it on the fly.
2. Use before trigger
For instance:
create table load(a int, b int, c int, d int);
create or replace trigger load_trigger
before insert on load
for each row
begin
:new.d := :new.b + :new.c;
:new.b := null;
:new.c := null;
end;
load data
infile *
append
into table load
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
(a, b, c)
begindata
1, 1, 1
2, 2, 2
3, 3, 3
4, 4, 4
sqlldr userid=... ctl=load.ctl
SQL> select * from load;
A B C D
1 2
2 4
3 6
4 8
You won't like the existence of unnecessary columns(B, C) but don't have choice. ^^;
I think there is another simple way provided by SQL*Loader. But i've never tried it myself. Read following doc and try it yourself:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch06.htm#1008153

Loading XML files into Database table

Loading XML files into Database table
Hi I have some XML files say 100 files in a virtual directory created using "Create or replace directory command" and those files need to be loaded into a table having a column of XMLTYPE. 1)How to load that using Oracle provided procedures/packages

Check out the Oracle XDB Developer's Guide, Chapter 3. There is an example of using BFileName function to load the xml files from a directory object created using create or replace directory. It works really well.

Load flat file into oracle with SQL Loader

Hi All,
Oracle 9i
I want to load flat file into oracle with the help of sqlloader but I want to skip some columns from flat file.
Can anyone tell me how can we skip column from flat file , I can’t open flat file into excel as CSV due to large volume
Does anyone has any solution for the same.
Umesh Goel

Filler can be use when we want to skip database table column or we want to put null in database table column
but if we have 10 column in flat file and we want to load 1,2,5,7 number column from flat file
then I think filler will not work
If yes then plz let me know.
thx
