LRAW Datatype to BLOB in HANA : how to read it?

Hello All,
we have an issue in our project where A table having a field of data type LRAW is being
replicated using SLT into a HANA schema. This field type becomes data
type BLOB in the HANA schema.
we would like to get the text info stored in this field but it seems that HANA cannot read it.
It seems that the only possibility here is to investigate if datatype of this field can be changed in SLT configuration but not sure what type should be adopted for it to work.
Has someone faced this issue ? any suggestions are appreciated.
Regards,
Rahul

Target: SAP HANA schema
Question: How do we read the content of a field
having a data type BLOB in SAP HANA? For instance, displaying the first 5
lines of the text content of this field.

Hi Justin,
I work in the same team as Rahul. Thanks for your help on this topic. I just read your blog.
I don't konw SLT at all but it seems that you have all these steps because you want to reduce the scope of the transformation by filtering and adpating the trigger.
But let's imagine in our case, we want to simply retrieve the text in a readable format for all the records. As on overview, we could simply:
- Create this new column in the target structure with the TEXTdata type that we can call TEXT.
- Create this include where we will only do this assignment:
<WA_R_STXL>-TEXT = <WA_S_STXL>-clustd.
Am I correct or completely wrong ?
thanks,
Nico.

How to modify the blob size, or how to set the size?

i want to know how to modify the blob size, or how to set the size?
what's the default size of blob?
Thanks in advance.

Blob datatype can contain binary data with a maximum size of 4 GB.
when you enter 10kb file, the database will only use 10kb to store the file (depending on block size etc)
if you want to modify the blob size, you may do like this:
SQL> create materialized view t_mv refresh fast on commit
2 as select id, dbms_lob.getlength(x) len from t;
Materialized view created.
SQL> alter table t_mv add constraint t_mv_chk check (len < 100);
Table altered.

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.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

How to read a blob file using dbadapter

how to read or select a blob file in a table using dbadapter

     public void fileRead(){
             File aFile =new File("myFile.txt");
         BufferedReader input = null;
         try {
           input = new BufferedReader( new FileReader(aFile) );
           String line = null;
           while (( line = input.readLine()) != null){
         catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
           ex.printStackTrace();
         catch (IOException ex){
           ex.printStackTrace();
     }This code is to read a text file. But there is no such thing that will convert your text file to xml file. You have to have a defined XML format. Then you can read your data from text files and insert them inside your xml text. Or you may like to read xml tags from text files and insert your own data. The file format of .txt and .xml is far too different.

How to read BLOBs as "Java.io.Reader"

Hello,
I have a problem dealing with BLOBs in JDBC. I want to get a BLOB as a "java.io.Reader". I have written the following code:
class Db_templates {
public static Reader select(int tpl_id) {
try {
Connection connection = ... ;
Reader retour = null;
String strSQL = "SELECT tpl_blob FROM templates WHERE tpl_id = ?";
PreparedStatement ps = connection.prepareStatement(strSQL);
ps.setInt(1, tpl_id);
ResultSet rset = ps.executeQuery();
if (rset.next()) {
oracle.sql.BLOB blob = (BLOB)rset.getObject(1);
retour = blob.characterStreamValue();
rset.close();
ps.close();
connection.close();
return retour;
} catch (SQLException e) {
return null;
Then I try to call this method in a JSP file (Tomcat 4.0 as JSP container) with the following lines:
Reader i = Db_templates.select(42);
out.println(i.ready());
char buf[] = new char[1000];
try {
int retour = i.read(buf, 1, 900);
} catch (IOException e) {
out.println(e.toString());
The method i.ready() returns false with no IOException thrown.
The method i.read() fails to execute with the following errors:
java.lang.NullPointerException

Normally, Firefox has two different behaviors for the down arrow key, assuming it is not inside a form control:
* Scroll the page
* With caret browsing turned on, move the cursor down one line
If you are accustomed to the down arrow key moving among search results so you can press the Enter key to load them, and you are using Google, this is due to a script in the results page intercepting those keys and changing what they normally do.
I have only tested Windows myself, so I don't know whether this is generally available when using Google in your distribution of Linux. If it is, then the question would be: why not on your Firefox? Hmm...

How to Read/Write to PS registry, tools for making GUI

Hi Folks,
We have several plugins that we would like to make available to our users by the Photoshop panel (made with Adobe Configurator).
Plugins are scripting aware, and also use reading and writing to Photoshop registry.
We also want that user can define settings for the plugin and to be able to call it by clicking on a button.
Only way that I could find is as follows:
User click on a settings button, and that calls java script that display dialog with settings.
There user can make choices and save them.
When user click on a run button script read settings from registry and calls plugin
or just call plugin (plugin can read from registry himself).
Now the questions:
What are the tools that are using to make dialogs in JS when you make java scripts to automate Photoshop?
How to read and write Photoshop registry with java script?
I am experienced plugin developer but until now all work was in PS SDK and C++.
I have no experience in scripting Photoshop trough java script.
Plugins are Win 32/64 platform that are supported is Windows XP or later.
Thank you in advance.

Well, as someone has said, pefs should work, but if not, it is quite easy to figure out the syntax of the .reg files, so why wouldn't you create the one you need and than import it? I think you can add reg keys with
REG ADD [ROOT\]RegKey /v ValueName [/t DataType] [/S Separator] [/d Data] [/f]or
REGEDIT /S pathnamecommands, so call that in an external process (see ProcessBuilder class).

How to read word document in pl/sql

How to read word document which is stored as BLOB column in table.
I want to read it word by word.Please explain me how to raed using DBMS_lob
package and substr,instr.

You cannot. A Microsoft Word document is in a proprietary binary format. You cannot treat it as a text file and read "word-by-word" from it.
As for examples - refer to the [url http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/toc.htm]Oracle® Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference manual. It describes DBMS_LOB and its usage in detail.

How to read Idoc acknowledgement in BPM

Hi ,
I am trying to get data from database and send Idoc to sap . Upon successful idoc processing i want to send success msg to file . To achive this functionality i am using BPM , but i am not able to understand how to read acknoiwlegement in XI ? Do I need to create another datatype for acknowledgement in XI ??
Please advice
Suvarna

Hi,
Configure the Acknowledgements as shown in the Link i had given earlier.
Next, in your BPM, with the SEND step activate APPLICATION Acknowledgements. Now, your BPM will wait for the acknowledgements before going to the next step and so on.
Also, if you do not want to wait for longer than a particular period of time, you can have a deadline monitoring branch and so on.

How to read Image data from oracle DB?

How to read a oracle database object ORDSYS.ORDImage from oracle
database?
I can get a oracle.sql.STRUCT object from the database, but i can not
find the way to convert data to a image object(like oracle.ord.im.OrdImage)
I had used "OrdImage imgObjj1 =
(OrdImage)rs.getCustomDatum(1, OrdImage.getFactory());"
it's a example from oralce.
But OracleResultSet.getCustomDatum() method is already deprecated,
i can't find a new method to instead of it.
Who can help me ? Thank you!
[email protected]

More than likely, this is the interface you will use:
java.sql.Blob
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/sql/Blob.html
Once you get the blob, construct a Raster objects from the Bytes you receive from the blob. Then you can create an Image, ImageIcon, BufferedImage, whatever with the Raster object.
Good luck!

How to read image from mssql db?

how to read an image stored in mssql database .and how to display that image in html page through servlet.
thanks in advance,
Rassam

Here are the steps you can do
1) Write JDBC code to read the image from database. You will have to use
ResultSet.getBlob("columnname") method.
2) Write this blob object on to server filesystem using java.io at a defined location
3) Give link in your HTML page for this defined location.
(You can do all of this in your servlet.)
I have given very high level steps. Let me know if you want detailed steps.

How can Reader v 9 be installed to a volume other than c:?

How can Reader v >9 be installed to a volume other than c:? such as g:?
and is there a distrubution executable available so Reader can be installed on a machine that is not connected to the Internet?

download the .exe from the ftp service and use it to target the install directory:
ergo
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/
and pick OS and version and language thus:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.5.0/en_US/AdbeRdr950_en_US.exe
