Metadata into database

Hi,
I’m very happy to use Adobe Bridge and I think that is a great tool, and I will thank you for that. I have thousands of images in my computer and for a great number of that I already have a lot of information in the metadata… I know how to demand information, I know how to search inside, but I need to know if I can import all this information in a different software …. Something like excel or access….
For example: I need to put in a database all images that are made for a client, and I need to see all the information for each image in the same table, also I need to print all this information…please teach me how to do that
Thank you

You can extract data from your files into a CSV file that will open in Excel or import to a database.
Using Bridge there are a couple of scripts.
The Barred Rock script that can be found in this thread.
http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2365&sid=d3879143b95adbfff4998c35f85c336 b
If only a few fields are required then the "Extract Metadata" script in the Bridge section might work for you.

Exiftool should also be considered for the task.

Good luck.

How do you import (or convert) XMP metadata into iPhoto '08?

Having recently made OS X my primary operating system, I switched from using Picasa/Windows Photo Gallery on Vista to catalogue my photos to iPhoto '08. However, the 7,000+ pictures I have all have XMP metadata tags. None of them show up in iPhoto '08 after import. Needless to say, I am not looking forward to having to retag 7,000+ pictures in iPhoto.
I know people in various forums, here and elsewhere, have said that iPhoto '08 does not do XMP at all. Is this true? Is there a workaround or plugin? I find it weird that XMP has been an open standard since May, and 6 months later, there isn't a plugin or solution, especially from Apple. Unless I am just daft and missing something obvious, which is entirely possible.
At any rate, I would really appreciate any help in me not having to retag over 7,000 pictures...thanks in advance!

mrbofus:
Do you still have the PC and the photos on it? If so you might look into the demo version of iView MediaPro and see it if can read those Picasa files and embed the metadata into the files like it can when reading an iPhoto library on the Mac platform. If it can, you'll be able to write the metadata to the files and bring them over again to the Mac and import into a new library. This is only speculation as I'm not conversant in Windows at all.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Unable to Import metadata into RPD

Hi,
I have installed OBIEE 111.1.1.6 on the sever and OBIEe client tools on my local desktop.
now when i am trying to import metadata into my rpd by connecting to database it shows me the error "Unable to connect"
can you please let me know if i am missing any prerequisties on my local desktop or any settings that i need to actualy srt importing?
Please help me.
Thanks

If the call interface is OCI, enter a full connect string or a net service name from the tnsnames.ora file you set up within the Oracle Business Intelligence environment, in ORACLE_HOME/network/admin.
If you are using a native interface for a different database, enter the name of the database for that system.
If the call interface is ODBC, the data source name field displays a list containing all the User and System DSNs defined for ODBC on the local computer. Select the correct one for the data source to which you want connect.
If it is helpful, please mark as correct or helpful

Tool or mechanism to put the Oracle metadata into XML format

Hi,
Is there any tool or mechanism provided by Oracle to put the Oracle metadata into XML format?I mean metadata here represents Database objects like Tables, Columns, Schemas, stored procedures, Table spaces etc.
Regards,
Dayakar

From 9i and onwards, the dbms_metadata package will do this.
Either use the documentation or Morgan's library [http://www.psoug.org/reference] for further info

How to insert xmp metadata into jpeg files?

Hi
Is it possible to automatically insert the metadata
with the script using text extracted from my database.
I have to insert the metadata into lots of images which are uploaded to a site.
Thanks
[signature deleted bu host]

A scripting tool you may use, although complex, is ImageMagick. It allows loads of image manipulate but also handles data.
Another options is DBGallery, which will very easily allow XMP data to be written to hundreds or thousands of files at a time, but not via script (it's a Windows application). You can see a quick screenshot tour of it's IPTC/XMP capabilities here.
Hope this helps,

How to import metadata into EPMA application by using ODI

Hi All,
1.Can you tell anyone, how to import metadata into EPMA application by using ODI. Detailed steps with screen shots will be appreciated.
2. What was the interface tables. How the interface tables will be useful while importing metadata into EPMA application (Detailed steps with screen shots will be appreciated.). And tell me the interface tables structure and work process. give me the clear idea bout interface tables. I don't know anything about interface tables.
3.Which method(either using ODI or Interface tables) is optimized/bestcase for importing metadata into EPMA application.
My database is Oracle 10g and I am using Planning 9.3.1.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks And Regards,
Bhagya Lakshmi.

Hi,
Answer to your questions
1. You can't import metadata directly into EPMA using ODI, the only option is use the EPMA interface tables which is your question 2.
2. Interface tables are just a structure of database tables which you populate with metadata and then this is pushed into EPMA, the structure of the tables takes a while to get an understanding of. The best place to start would be the documentation :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/bpma_admin.pdf
3. As explained in question 1 you can't use ODI directly to import metadata into EPMA but with a lot of hard work and effort you could probably populate interface tables from EPMA, though I must admit I am not a fan of the interface tables because I don't think they were designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind.

Can FDM be used to load Metadat into Planning 9 and 11

Hi John,
Can we use FDM to load Metadata into Planning versions 9 and 11.
Looking forward for your response
Thanks,
Sravan

Not that I am aware of, you can use it to load data into planning essbase database.
You may read about FDM loading metadata in version 11 but this is using the ERP integrator which sits on top of ODI.

Migrate Metadata into KM

We have a large amount of MS Office documents and PDFs that we are plannning to move into our KM repository. These documents all have metadata stored within the document, i.e. Dublic Core metadata. We want to copy this metadata in the documents to the KM database. For example, we want to copy the Title metadata field of a MS Word document to the Name property of the corresponding document in KM.
Has anyone else done this? Could you recommend how?

Hi Andrew,
I was involved in similar kind of activity in last year.
I followed below activities to mass upload the documents to KM and set metadata properties.
1) Design folder hierarchy on local system and moved respective documents to the folders
2) Manually collected all the meta data of those documents in an excel sheet.
(optional : I used VB script to convert these metadata into XML file )
3) Drag the Folder ( i.e. is created in local system) to the KM Folder using WebDAV.
4) Create KM Application which take XML/excel file and parse the XML/excel file and used KM API's to set meta data of those documents.
Hope this will give you some clue to your solution.

How can I make an easy *.CSV file to load into database table

Hi All,
I have a huge excel sheet having columns item#, description and qty. The description column sometimes maybe one word name, two word name separated with space or may be , spearated name. I want to write and PL/SQl code which will read this file and load it into database table. Now the *.CSV file is either comma delimited or tab text delmited which both do not solve my issue. Is there any better solution with anyone which can prevent the manual editing to the *.CSV file and I can easily load it to table.
Your help is appreciated,
Thanks
Zahir

SQL*Loader is probably the fastest method, but since you specifically asked for a PL/SQL method:

How can i load file into database from client-side to server-side

i want to upload file from client-side to server-side, i use the following code to load blob into database.
if the file is in the server-side, it can work, but if it in the client-side, it said that the system cannot find the file. i think it only will search the file is in the server-side or not, it will not search the client-side.
how can i solve it without upload the file to the server first, then load it into database??
try
ResultSet rset = null;
PreparedStatement pstmt =
conn.prepareStatement ("insert into docs values (? , EMPTY_BLOB())");
pstmt.setInt (1, docId);
pstmt.execute ();
// Open the destination blob:
pstmt.setInt (1, docId);
rset = pstmt.executeQuery (
"SELECT content FROM docs WHERE id = ? FOR UPDATE");
BLOB dest_lob = null;
if (rset.next()) {
dest_lob = ((OracleResultSet)rset).getBLOB (1);
// Declare a file handler for the input file
File binaryFile = new File (fileName);
FileInputStream istream = new FileInputStream (binaryFile);
// Create an OutputStram object to write the BLOB as a stream
OutputStream ostream = dest_lob.getBinaryOutputStream();
// Create a tempory buffer
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int length = 0;
// Use the read() method to read the file to the byte
// array buffer, then use the write() method to write it to
// the BLOB.
while ((length = istream.read(buffer)) != -1)
ostream.write(buffer, 0, length);
pstmt.close();
// Close all streams and file handles:
istream.close();

Hi,
Without some more details of the configuration, its difficult to know
what's happening here. For example, what do you mean by client side
and server side, and where are you running the upload Java application?
If you always run the application on the database server system, but can't
open the file on a different machine, then it sounds like a file protection
problem that isn't really connected with the database at all. That is to
say, if the new FileInputStream (binaryFile) statement fails, then its not
really a database problem, but a file protection issue. On the other hand,
I can't explain what's happening if you run the program on the same machine
as the document file (client machine), but you can't write the data to the
server, assuming the JDBC connection string is set correctly to connect to
the appropriate database server.
If you can provide some more information, we'll try to help.

How to store data into database by reading sql statements from text file

how to write java program for storing data into database by reading sql statements from text file

Step 1: Create a property file to add various queries.
Step 2: Read the properties file using ResourceBundle
Step 3: Use the jdbc to execute the query read from the property file.
So in future if you need to change query no need do any modifications in java program. But depends on how you use the property file.

Importing text file into database

Hi again,
Could anyone give me any pointers on how to take a text file or csv file (or any other delimeted text file) and read the contents into java and then use the read in data to then insert the delimeted data into the table.
i assume i have to read the delimeted data into a variable then parse the complete string with the delimeter and split the data up maybe in an array. Maybe this is completely wrong, im really unsure.
any help would be greatly appreciated even a point in the right direction would be great :)
kind regards.

Well, atleast i dont know of a single method, which does this kind of nonhomogenous task!! Its not hard to impliment what you want-->
//open the text file using FileInputStream & get the contents in a String variable
//Tokenise it
StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(your_string_retrieved_from_file,delimiter);
int i=0;
while(st.hasMoreTokens())
i++;
//SQL Statement that inserts a string into database table(integer, varchar2)
insert into test_table values(i,st.nextToken());
Unless you are talking about putting the tokens as coloums in a single row, i dont find why this is a problem & if you are actually doing the above case, then you might wanna rethink your design

Error while Importing Metadata into DAC Repository

Hi,
After the successful first time login into DAC and creating repository, when I try to import metadata into DAC repository.
DAC > Tools > DAC Repository Management > Import
I don't see any Applications listed under "Application List"
Can anybody suggest the troubleshooting steps for this?
Regards,
Jitendra

If this is the first time that you are importing make sure that the directory you are importing from is like this -
C:\OBIEE\OracleBI\DAC\export
If this is not the first time then
Can you go inside the following directory
C:\OBIEE\OracleBI\DAC\log
and check for export.log - Look for Applications Section, if you have any application then you had exported it and you should see it under the applications tab when importing otherwise you don't !!Since its an xml file that is generated i believe you have not exported by selecting the applications yo want and that is your problem.
Hope this helps !!
Cheers,

Hi BownieCross;
If you are using a local database file in your project the following may be the cause.
From Microsoft Documentation:
Issue:
"Every time I test my application and modify data, my changes are gone the next time I run my application."
Explanation:
The value of the Copy
to Output Directory property is Copy
if newer or Copy
always. The database in your output folder (the database that’s being modified when you test your application) is overwritten every
time that you build your project. For more information, see How
to: Manage Local Data Files in Your Project.
