OraOLEDB provider 8.1.7.3 - BLOB problem

Hi,
We are using Oracle Provider OraOLEDB 8.1.6 earlier and BLOB is reading Properly...Now I upgraded the provider to OraOLEB 8.1.7.3...Now all BLOB/LONG fields are read as NULL...Same code works perfectly fine with OraOLEDB 8.1.6...
Did we have to change any where specifically for reading BLOB in the case of OraOLEDB 8.1.7.3?
Can anyone help since this is very urgent for my develoment work...
Regards
Zunil

oh ... I forgot to say ..
when I run query under Enterprise Manager as
select * from Openquery (db, 'select * from table')
then it will show me a pop-up message
"Query Designer encountered a MS Design Tools error:

Oracle ORAOLEDB Provider removes trailing blanks in parameter values of Type IN CHAR

Hi,
I often use StoredProcedures With Ref_Cursor parameters to read data from an Oracle 11g DB.
Because we use VARCHAR2 columns in our tables, we have to pad blanks for an exact match, the Input Parameter has to contain For example "WW2 ",
This was working fine over the years using the Microsoft-Ado Provider MSDAORA ( with Excel 10, VBA ).
Now we want to use the Oracle ORAOLEDB Provider. In our tests all resultsets were empty(rs.EOF/rs.BOF)
The reason is, that inside the StoredProcedure the ParameterValue was trimmed ( "WW2" ), and so the Where-Clause doesn't match.
Is it possible to change this behaviour( bug or bad feature ? ) by setting a property of an object , in registry or somewhere else ?
I am aware of the differences between the two character types VARCHAR2 / CHAR ( blankpadded / no blankpadded compare ).
But the parameters of the stored procedure is CHAR (fixed length). and in this case strings are usually padded with blanks, and so I think, that no component has to modify a fixed length object,
especially if the length of the parameter is a hard setting in vba code( Set Param = SqlCmd.CreateParameter("strAnlage", adChar, adParamInput, 4) , and in PL/SQL : strAnlage IN CHAR ).
Thanks.
Best regards
Dirk

Can you post how you are trying to call the procedure from a package body?
Check this:
SQL> create or replace package hits_11 as
2 procedure my_process(a number);
3 end;
4 /
Package created.
SQL> create or replace package body hits_11 is
2 procedure my_process(a number) is
3 begin
4 dbms_output.put_line(a);
5 end;
6 end;
7 /
Package body created.
SQL> exec hits_11.my_process;
BEGIN hits_11.my_process; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:

MTS, OraOLEDB provider, and Connection Pooling

I have read through "Using Microsoft Transaction Server with Oracle8" (http://technet.oracle.com/doc/oracle8i_816/nt.816/a73029/prog.htm#1082299) and the OraOLEDB provider document, and found little coverage in regard to the subject of "Connection Pooling." Could you point me to additional documentation and code samples that would help guide me in designing my application.
I am designing a web based distributed application subsystem with MTS/COM+, OraOLEDB provider (8.1.7.2.0), Oracle Services for MTS (8.1.7.0.0) and Oracle 8i (8.1.6). A major requirement of this subsystem is that it scales well as it is utilized by more and more applications and users. This requirement could be accomplished much easier if the OraOLEDB Provider provides Connection Pooling. Much of the documentation I have seen from Microsoft describes Connection Pooling using ODBC. The documentation from Oracle discusses Connection Pooling with OO4O or OCI. Does the OraOLEDB Provider provide Connection Pooling? If so could you point me to additional documentation and samples?
Thanks,

I am facing the same issue. This is strange, no one has responded to this for a year. What does it mean? It sux so bad that no one uses OmniPortlet? It's clear when you execute a sql thru this stupid OmniPortlet it opens a connection and never releases it. I have seen this by turning off everything and keep refreshing the OmniPortlet.
What bothers me more is that there seems to be no freakn documentation on this especially around how to do this from the console and how to use the jndi datasource. There has to be a way. Please help us out on this either from inside or outside oracle.
The world class Oracle support seems to be a joke.

Blob Problem

Hello,
The problem that i have is that i want to insert a file residing in the network into the oracle database into a blob field and again read it from the database and show it ie either insert it into a file directly and then open it using the correct editor or open it directly. I am using java along with it but i am basically stuck on the database side.
I am sending the code which i have written till date
i basically need to know
1)the syntax i am using to interact with the database is right ie where is the error in the code
2)provided that is ok whether my overall code is on the right track.
The error message i am getting:
java.sql.exe:ORA-06550 line col22
PLS 00302: Component GETCHUNKSIZE must be declared
ORA-06550 line1 col 7

You are probably better off using BLOBs rather than BFILEs. The main reason for this is that with BLOBs data integrity between file and its meta data in the database are managed and protected by the RDBMS. BFILEs are useful for legacy systems where the files already exist in some form of meaningful and managed structure that needs to be preserved.
There is a down side to BLOBs and that is performance - BLOBs are relatively slow to load into the database. However, its not too bad and the performance of extracting BLOBs out from the database is quite reasonable the bottleneck is more likely to be your LAN.
In order to use BLOBs it is important to have the right class libraries involved. For BLOBs you must use the classes12.zip (supplied with the database) for JDBC2 support and furthermore put this class high up the list of class libraries if you do not you may find that your code compiles but raises a runtime exception about invalid data types; this is because the wrong definition of the Blob class is being picked up.
Assuming that you are using BLOBs then the following describes the techniques for storing files as BLOBs in an Oracle database.
LOADING BLOBS
Assuming that you have a table with a BLOB column in it then to load a BLOB you must first create the record containing the BLOB by inserting a row into your table with the value of the BLOB column set to EMPTY_BLOB( ) (PL/SQL built in):
INSERT INTO tablex( col1, col2, colBLOB )
VALUES( val1, val2, EMPTY_BLOB() )
Then you must row lock this record and obtain the LOB locator for the BLOB just created:
stmt = connection.createStatement();
query = "SELECT colBLOB FROM tablex WHERE ... FOR UPDATE OF colBLOB";
ResultSet lockLOBSet = stmt.executeQuery(query);
At this point you should be able to use lockLOBSet.getBlob(1) to create a binary stream to load the BLOB directly into the database. Under Java Developer 2 I could never get this to work and havent tried since with Java Developer 3. Instead I used the PL/SQL DBMS_LOB package and did it using JDBC; this assumes that the file has been loaded into a buffer binaryFile and note that the maximum chunk size that dbms_lob.write can be called with is 32K:
blobLoc = lockLOBSet.getBlob(1);
while(amountWritten < fileSize)
if ((amountWritten + writeAmount) <= fileSize)
writeAmount = 32000;
else
writeAmount = fileSize - amountWritten;
System.arraycopy(binaryFile, amountWritten, buffer, 0, writeAmount);
CallableStatement cstmt =
connection.prepareCall("{call dbms_lob.write(?, ?, ?, ?)}");
cstmt.setBlob(1, blobLoc);
cstmt.setLong(2, writeAmount);
cstmt.setLong(3, amountWritten + 1);
cstmt.setBytes(4, buffer);
cstmt.execute();
cstmt.close();
amountWritten = amountWritten + writeAmount;
EXTRACTING BLOBS
Binary streams do work when it comes to reading BLOBs out of the database so things are a whole lot simpler probably worth trying it with loading BLOBs now as well.
ResultSet queryLOBSet = statement.executeQuery(query);
if(queryLOBSet.next())
lobSize = queryLOBSet.getInt(1);
blobLoc = queryLOBSet.getBlob(2);
BufferedInputStream bi;
blobBuffer = new byte[lobSize];
bi = new BufferedInputStream(blobLoc.getBinaryStream());
amountRead = bi.read(blobBuffer);
bi.close();

Blob problem (Image storing or Currupted )

AOA!
I am working as a developer in a companey. we made a database for HRMS. In this database there is a table EMPLOYEE with a column PICTURE of type BLOB. We were using oracle 8i initially but when we migrate to oracle 9i, we are facing a problem in image storing. The situation is, database showing ur previously stored images (those have stored in oracle 8i) but when we save a new image in that table or any other table it seams to be saved but cannot retrived. I mean when we issue a query
SELECT EMP_ID FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE PICTURE IS NOT NULL;
It shows the new inserted records too (thats shows us that picture has been inserted) but when we issue query from a forms6i application it didnt show any image. In case of report, when we try to query a record which newly inserted with image, it says some thing like REPORT IS UNABLE TO SHOW IMAGE FORMATE etc.
The situation is for all table and all schema which is indicating us may be it is some thing due to oracle 9i headen technique or due to miss managment by us. we dont have DBA in our companey.
Please help us in this regard. We will be thankfull to you.

BLOB problem (image storing or image curruption)

AOA!
I am working as a developer in a companey. we made a database for HRMS. In this database there is a table EMPLOYEE with a column PICTURE of type BLOB. We were using oracle 8i initially but when we migrate to oracle 9i, we are facing a problem in image storing. The situation is, database showing ur previously stored images (those have stored in oracle 8i) but when we save a new image in that table or any other table it seams to be saved but cannot retrived. I mean when we issue a query
SELECT EMP_ID FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE PICTURE IS NOT NULL;
It shows the new inserted records too (thats shows us that picture has been inserted) but when we issue query from a forms6i application it didnt show any image. In case of report, when we try to query a record which newly inserted with image, it says some thing like REPORT IS UNABLE TO SHOW IMAGE FORMATE etc.

I think that both your SQL is wrong and your intended use is wrong. According to the SQL reference, the following seems to be a simplified definition that seems to match what you're trying to do. UPDATE <table> SET <column> = <expr>. So PROPERTIES should be a <table> of some kind and X should be a <column> of that table. This changes your PreparedStatement to *"UPDATE PROPERTIES SET X = ? WHERE NAME = ?"* Then you can do ps.setBlob(1, b) and ps.setString(2, ...). Because your statement is DML you must do ps.executeUpdate(). So your code might look something like this.
Blob b = ...;
String x = ...;
ps = c.prepareStatement("UPDATE PROPERTIES SET X = ? WHERE NAME = ?");
ps.setBlob(1, b);
ps.setString(2, x);
int i = ps.executeUpdate();
The executeUpdate() returns the row count (i.e. number of rows) of your DML statement. Try that and see if it helps.

I believe they work different from imagebuttons. Just crate a page and add an adrotator control to it and read the images from some xml file. I can send you the code.

RDB BLOB problem

Hi.
I have problem writing blob into RDB database table via JDBC driver. I use setBinarySteam() or setBytes() method in PreparedStatement.
If table has NOT NULL constraint on blob-field I'm trying to write JDBC driver throws exception:

But if there is no constraint on this field everyyhing is ok. I'm using thin JDBC-driver.
I don't know what to do.

No, I'm not trying to set null value to this field.
For experiment I created two similar tables. One was created with NOT NULL constraint for blob column and the other one without.
And I execut identical insert-query on both of them. With first table query throws exception. And with second one everything is fine, query inserts correct data into this table.

I am having problems attaching files to my email using the latest Firefox 13.0.1, Comcast is my internet provider, but I did not have problem with Safari.

Why am I having problems attaching files to my email using Firefox 13.0.1.?
I am using a MAC, OS 10.6.8, and have Comcast as my internet provider. I noticed after I upgraded to Firefox 13.0.1 that I am having problems attaching files to my email. I do not experience the same problem with Safari, but I prefer to use Firefox, as all of my bookmarks and passwords are saved there. I just like the way Firefox works better than Safari.
I am a free-lance graphic designer and rely on my internet connection to my customers. I need this resolved ASAP!

Could you start by resetting the zoom level on the page? To do that, you can either:
* Press Ctrl+0 (that's a zero) on the keyboard
* View menu > Zoom > Reset
You also can use zoom to increase/decrease the size from there. This article describes the various mouse, keyboard, and menu methods: [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages]].
Any luck?

Tomcat 4.1 Oracle Blob problem using apache commons DBCP

Hi all,
We are using Tomcat 4.1.12, Java 1.4.x and trying to take advantage of the connection pooling that comes with Tomcat(the apache commons DBCP).
We are connecting to a oracle database.
Works fine for everything EXCEPT Blobs. We have a servlet that serves images from Oracle, that works fine when it doesn't use the connection pooling, but throws an exception when we call the
ERROR: Class:DisplayGraphic Method:processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, Ht
tpServletResponse response)
Exception: org.apache.commons.dbcp.DelegatingResultSet
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/db_connection");
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
PreparedStatement pstmt = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT graphic FROM graphics WHERE graphic_id = 1");
rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
if(rs.next())
    oracle.sql.BLOB oBlob = ((OracleResultSet) oRS).getBLOB("GRAPHIC");
    InputStream oIS = oBlob.getBinaryStream();
    ... etc etc...
}Any ideas?
Cheers,
Alex.

solved the problem.. i was using getBLOB instead of
getBlob
doh..Hi Alex,
your problem is very interesting for me because I have a similar problem and your identical configuration...
the instruction
oracle.slq.BLOB aBlob = ((OracleResultSet)super.mRs).getBLOB("BLOBBONE")
causes this:
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.commons.dbcp.DelegatingResultSet
To resolve this, I changed, in server.xml , the factory
<parameter>
                    <name>factory</name>
                    <value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</value>
               </parameter>
with:
<parameter>
<name>factory</name>
<value>oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSourceFactory</value>
</parameter>
and magically all works fine...
But the question is... Why doesn't it work with the standard factory???
There is a problem in the CLASSPATH that I don't see?
Any suggestions is welcome!
Thanks in advance!
