Oracle Intermedia Bug.

Hi,
I encounter an intertesting bug in using Oracle Intermedia.
There will be a problem if there exist a char 0xFD in the
"contains" functions when querying the database.
Assume I have a table mytest(Userid Number(10), body
varchar(2000))
I have index the column body.
I issue query like.
select score(1), userid from mytest where contains(body,'str',1)
0;if str contains character 0xFD, error will be thrown.
Do anyone know it is a bug or anything? Also where can I submit
these kind of bug to Oracle as I find nowhere to submit bug.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for answering.
Yes I'm sure , both of them are using the same bind variables and it is:
(FUZZY($INTERNATIONAL) AND FUZZY($JOURNAL) AND FUZZY($ELECTRONICS) AND FUZZY($COMMUNICATIONS)) WITHIN SERIES_TITLE';
The same Query takes too long in Unix SQL*PLUS (~ 54 secs) also, but in Windows SQL*PLUS its faster (~ 7 secs).
Bu t if I chabe the Bind Variable as :
STR := '(($INTERNATIONAL OR ?INTERNATIONAL) AND ($JOURNAL OR ?JOURNAL) AND ($ELECTRONICS OR ?ELECTRONICS) AND ($COMMUNICATIONS OR ?COMMUNICATIONS)) WITHIN SERIES_TITLE';
then its in both Environment faster and nearly the same. But its not the same as the previous one.
I think the problem is when using the search as ?$<Word> (Fuzzy Stem together). But not everytime. Do you think its a Bug?

Is this Oracle Reports bug – "break order property" in "group above" report

Is this Oracle Reports bug – “break order property” in "group above" report
Could anybody confirm that in "group above" report, we could only order the brake column's values with ""none" or "ascending" or "descending" provided by "break order property"?
In the following example, “Dept” is brake column. Oracle Reports allows us to order values in “Dept” with “descending” provided by “break order property”:
Dept 30
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 20
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 10
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
or “ascending” provided by “break order property”:
Dept 10
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 20
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 30
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
I need to do:
Dept 20
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 10
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 30
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Could I do this? Could anybody confirm that we could never ever do this, or If yes, how?
Millions of thanks for advice.

Why should that be a bug? You have a custom requirement and have to find a way to fulfill it. But, what is your actual sorting order? Do you have only this three departments? If so, you could add an addtional column in your query like
DECODE(DEPT, 20, 1, 10, 2, 30, 3, 4) SORTINGput that column in the same group as dept and sort after that new column.

Oracle Intermedia Search in jsp files

I am using Oracle Intermedia for search ".jsp" files. Actually i am storing the files on a bfile column and passing the bfile to a stored procedure which atually reads and highlights the given search keywords in the ".jsp" files.
Problem here is that the content of the ".jsp" file is a mix and match of staic html and script. the search output gives HTML along with the jsp tags and scripts.
Can anyone suggest a way to give the html output alone excluding the jsp tags and scripts.
Is there any method or any inbuilt oracle package thru which we can extract the static content alone(if the starting and ending position of the static content is known).
Solicit suggestions at the earliest.

That this searches for the phrase "Oracle programmer", not just any document which has these words.

Welcome to Oracle interMedia Clipboard Version 2.0. This provides
a servlet and an Apache extension to mod_dav to manage interMedia
content living in Oracle databases.
With this kit one can build a customized and integrated content solution
that supports the following:
o A Clipboard servlet interface for uploading and downloading content from
a user's schema in an Oracle database using Apache JServ.
o Native HTTP access to interMedia content via Apache.
o Native Apache support to lock, edit, read, and write interMedia
content via WebDAV protocol.
o Annotation engine for doing transparent metadata extraction
of audio, video, or image content downloaded via the Servlet
or WebDAV.

How can i use Oracle intermedia with Oracle forms 9i

Hi all,
I have a requirment from one of our client that they want to manage a large amount of Images,by seeing the documents about the oracle interMedia we got some idea to manage this images ,but the client is alredy having a software which is been developed by Oracle forms9i and we need to develope this using oracle forms9i can anyone give us an idea that how can we make use of InterMedia through Oracle forms9i ....
Thanks in advance....

I am also trying to use interMedia objects with Oracle 9i forms. I've tried everything and I can't get it to work.
So far I have a solution that loads images using WebUtil into a blob field in Forms 9i, then in a backend stored procedure I move the blob to an interMedia object. Which works, but the problem with the image item in Oracle forms is that the image format cannot be change at runtime, so the images will always be what you set at design time.
Can someone out there please help.
Thanks.

I will ask, but it would be good to ask in the Oracle Forms forum as well. Many tools recognize the interMedia columns and automatically handle them since they now can say "Oh, this is an image column, I know how to handle this". I am not sure where forms is in this regard.

Oracle Intermedia

I am looking for somebody working in Oracle Intermedia,one of the core features of Oracle 8i or having some idea about this Search Tool.Kindly let me know if somebody can send me any technical inputs at the earliest.

There is no interMedia demo database.
The ctxsys schema is installed with a direct-
load, so the only wait should be to compile a
a few packages and copy over the data files.

Oracle intermedia on the Web

Hi
We have various Oracle intermedia things in bits n peices
But there are some pzzles
Like
1. If all HTML files are stored in Oracle8i table and Intermedia text is created on the column in the table.
How can we extract the document from the database and publish it on the WEB?
We tried Web Agent but if there are multiple requests it fails!!! Infact if 5 machines make a request it fails
Can some let me know how we go about
Also there are some missing files in Intermedia Web Site crawling example.
Has anyone suceessfully tried that example?
Hope someone can provide with answers ASAP
thanks

How to user oracle intermedia and plpdf to display image

Hi all,
AS i know plpdf is very retriction to display images and i think it only valid for jpep and may be gif file extension. Can i display any kind of different file of format if i've both oracle intermedia and plpdf in my database. If yes, can you give me an exampe how to work that this.
Thank you very much,
Kevin

Best way,
1. I belive you have a JPEG Image.
2. Accept the text from user. Create an Image from it.
3. Add the two Images.
4. All this operations can be done using JAI (Java Advanced Imaging API). It is simple and straight forward.

Oracle 11g bug ?!

We are trying to execute a simple query of the form
select * from sometable where upper(attr1) like 'WB%' or upper(attr2) like 'WB%' or upper(attr3) like 'WB%'
The data does exist in the table but the query does not return values.
Sometimes the count(*) on that table returns the correct number but the actual select statement does not return data.
We have added a dummy where clause
select * from sometable where upper(attr1) like 'WB%' or upper(attr2) like 'WB%' or upper(attr3) like 'WB%' or lower(attr2) like 'WB%' and the data does show up.
We are on Oracle 11g 11.2.0.2 and have migrated recently from 10g. And this issue has started appearing after the migration.
Any thoughts on what could be causing this issue ?
Thanks
Surya

Hm. difficult but I doubt that you have a bug. I guess you have either some strange values or there is something in the full statement that is missing in your example.
For example please be aware that the AND operator has a higher priority then the OR operator (is this way since oracle 7 at least).
So if your real statement would include an and condition, this could produce unwanted outcome.
select * from sometable
where upper(attr1) like 'WB%'
     or upper(attr2) like 'WB%'
     or upper(attr3) like 'WB%'
     and lower(attr5) = 'XY' This is identical to:
select * from sometable
where upper(attr1) like 'WB%'
     or upper(attr2) like 'WB%'
     or (upper(attr3) like 'WB%' and lower(attr5) = 'XY' )But usually you want
select * from sometable
where (upper(attr1) like 'WB%' or upper(attr2) like 'WB%' or upper(attr3) like 'WB%')
        and lower(attr5) = 'XY' Some additon. Your condition could also be written like this. Maybe this helps to find the real cause of the error.
select * from sometable
where 'WB' in (substr(upper(attr1),1,2)
                   ,substr(upper(attr2),1,2)
                   ,substr(upper(attr3),1,2)
                   )I find this often to be better readable then a long LIKE + OR expression.

Oracle 11g bug for column ambigously defined error

I have below format query running on Oracle 10g without any issues
select col1
from (select col1
from (select 'A' col1
from dual)
) v1
inner join (select col1 as col2
from (select 'A' col1
from dual)
) v2
on (v1.col1=v2.col2);
When I run the exact same query on Oracle 11g I get column ambiguously defined error. But when I change the query to as below it works fine on 11g
select v1.col1
from (select col1
from (select 'A' col1
from dual)
) v1
inner join (select col1 as col2
from (select 'A' col1
from dual)
) v2
on (v1.col1=v2.col2);
Is it because 11g ignores column alias in my inner queries.

I'd tend to agree that this seems to be a bug in 11.1.0.7 (at least, that's the version I'm running it in)
It's not even that Oracle doesn't know about the column aliases, you can remove the aliases in the ON without a problem, i.e.
SELECT v1.col1
   FROM
(SELECT col1 FROM
    (SELECT 'A' col1 FROM dual
) v1
INNER JOIN
(SELECT col1 AS col2 FROM
    (SELECT 'A' col1 FROM dual
) v2
     ON (col1=col2);works fine. Using the old join syntax also seems to work fine
SELECT col1
   FROM
(SELECT col1 FROM
    (SELECT 'A' col1 FROM dual
) v1,
(SELECT col1 AS col2 FROM
    (SELECT 'A' col1 FROM dual
) v2
WHERE (col1=col2);So it appears that something in the SQL 99 parser is broken. Have you logged a bug in Metalink?

Is it possible to integrate Oracle intermedia search into apex ?(1)

Or do something similar manually yourself in oracle xe ?(2)
(1)I've been reading through part of the documentation of the intermedia search, and find it quite intresting. Better to use that if one can, then to have to do that it manually or yourself. But all I read is about JSP and PSP, and I guess PSP's are used by apex, but I was wondering if there was any way, to integrate intermedia search into apex, so that one can lookup say mp3, video files and images and display them in apex as well. Images may take some work but would I suppose be possible.
However for the other two you need also player software to play both of them. As far as I know this is not integrated into Apex, but could possibly be provided by using the player integrated with a webbrowser, and by linking it to apex. So the browser is launched and plays the video or the audio file or alternatively a player is launched that allows to do that. But correct me if I'm wrong.
(2) Alternatively I was wondering if one could do this, manually in Oracle XE, but then manually, by making tables with blobs and putting the files in there, and then finding somehow a way to get them played by a player, or to have them be put in a directory, and/or erased from that directory, and modify the player, or let it be activated and controlled by some kind of script to look for new files, and then play them off . Could this be done, by adding a parameter new_file_to_play to a message passed to the player, or the program governing the players behavior ?
I know this sound difficult, and it probably is, but it would have its benefits. I suppose a simple answer would by, why not use oracle 10g with intermedia search ? Well because although I expect this to be the preferable choice, the license is rather expensive for me, and if I could get a rudimentary version working on XE, even having to do it myself, and writing the code as well,
it would be ok.
I just wonder could one not, make a table, with a nr, a blob, and then the specific fields for the specific information of that type, and then use a extraction program that extracts that information from a file, and puts it in a xml or csv file, so that say after the images were uploaded, one can load the details in as well ?
It is more work, more complicated, and not as easy to use, but it could work I suppose.
Any comments are welcome.
Best Regards,
Floris

You should be able to add a menu option to Oracle E-Business Suite that just calls out to the URL of your ADF 11g application.
