PDF Files in Oracle Database

First of all Hi and Thanks to All Respected Gurus of this forum for providing non-stop services to resolve problems on world-wide level.
I am using Oracle Database 11g-R1 with Oracle Application Express 4.1.
My clients (end-users) have the access to upload PDF files into database via an application built-in Oracle Application Express.
Suddenly ".dmp" size has been increased rapidly from 360 MB to 2.7 Gb and all it happened due to uploading of PDF Files.
I want to know is it alarming for Oracle Database? Because users have lot-of files to upload, so I am in doubt that will Oracle Database Services / Performance will be disturbed by increasing of database size or Oracle Database Server could be crashed?
Please confirm. Thanks in advance.
Regards: Muhammad Uzair Awan

Performance may be impacted.
Backup time would increase.
Backup space (Disk / Tape) requirements would increase.
There shouldn't be a "crash" of the database
Since you are running 11gR1, I presume that you are not running the Express Edition.

How to access a PDF file from Oracle DATABASE SERVER

Hi
I have some pdf files in "\home2\docs" directory in Oracle database server 10g. (OS is Linux) I want to access those pdf files from my client system through Oracle Forms. How is it possible?
Please Help!!!! It is very urgent !!!
Expecting fast response!!!!!
Bye

hi
Thank u for ur response.
Initially i tried to access pdf file from database server. I didn't get any solution for that. So I copied all my pdf files to Application server which is in Linux environment at "/home2/docs" directory.
I gave the following command for accessing the pdf files kept in Lnux Application Server from Oracle 10g forms in a button press trigger.
web.show_document('http://192.168.1.53:7779/home2/docs/test.pdf');
It says "page cannot be found"
So I copied one of the pdf file named "test.pdf" to "/oracle/oas10g/IasHome/forms90/java" in Linux Application Server . Then the following command
web.show_document('http://192.168.1.53:7779/forms90/java/test.pdf');
has opened the the pdf file in browser.
192.168.1.53 is my Linux Application Server IP. and 7779 is the port.
Actually we have lacs of pdf files. So i cannot keep all the pdf files in "/oracle/oas10g/IasHome/forms90/java" directory in Linux Application Server. And also all the pdf files not in the same directory , "/home2/docs" some of the pdf files r in the subdirectories of "/home2/docs/" like /home2/docs/sub1, /home2/docs/sub2, /home2/docs/sub3 etc.
Then how to configure my "/oracle/oas10g/IasHome/forms90/server/forms90.conf" file for retrieving pdf files from "/home2/docs/" and its subdirectories. Is Anything other than this, required for solving my problems.
Now My PDF files r in LINUX APPLICATION SERVER not in database server.
Please help!! It is VERY URGENT!!!

How to load PDF files into oracle database and display them in APEX

Hi All,
We have a requirement for loading the Loading PDF files (lots of PDf files) to the oracle database and then display the PDF files in the Oracel APEX report.
So that User can view the PDF files. Our current APEX verison is 3.2..
Please let me know how to implement it and where to find the sample application!
Thanks in advanced!
Jane

Thanks Tony for your quick response!
We need to load a lot of PDfs (history + current).
I have a questions about the SQL loader. I am trying to insert a pdf file into a table by following the oracle loading sample:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/text.920/a96518/aload.htm
Example Data File: loader2.dat
This file contains the data to be loaded into each row of the table, articles_formatted.
Each line contains a comma separated list of the fields to be loaded in articles_formatted. The last field of every line names the file to be loaded in to the text column:
Ben Kanobi, plaintext,Kawasaki news article,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
But i don't know to where should I put my pdf file on the server.
for example:
,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
Where is the file 'kawasaki.txt'??
I try my local path, it didn't work. like c:\temp.
then I loaded teh PDf file into our server(/findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp) , and In my data file. I put the path
1, pdf_emp1,../findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp
but I got the error: the system can not find the file specified.
Where should I put the PDf files on the server and how to specify the path in the data file?
Thanks!

particular individual, then it's protected as far as you trust that individual
anyway!
Those who are in the dba group on the server can get at the data
in any case.
I just don't see the point in trying to do what you're asking - unless
I've missed something?
BTW, you haven't mentioned OS or db version (see .sig).
Paul...
lovely sethi--
When asking database related questions, please give other posters
some clues, like OS (with version), version of Oracle being used and DDL.
Other trivia such as CPU, RAM + Disk configuration might also be useful.
The exact text and/or number of error messages is useful (!= "it didn't work!"). Thanks.
Furthermore, as a courtesy to those who spend time analysing and attempting to help,
please do not top post and do try to trim your replies!

How to get up and running with WebUtil 1.06 included with Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 on a win32 platform
Solution
Assuming a fresh "Complete" install of Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2,
here are steps to get a small test form running, using WebUtil 1.06.
Note: [OraHome] is used as an alias for your real oDS ORACLE_HOME.
Feel free to copy this note to a text editor, and do a global find/replace on
[OraHome] with your actual value (no trailing slash). Then it is easy to
copy/paste actual commands to be executed from the note copy.
1) Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip
and extract to a temporary staging area. Do not attempt to use 1.7 or 1.9.
2) Copy or move jacob.jar and jacob.dll
[JacobStage] is the folder where you extracted Jacob, and will end in ...\jacob_18
     cd [JacobStage]
     copy jacob.jar [OraHome]\forms\java\.
     copy jacob.dll [OraHome]\forms\webutil\.
The Jacob staging area is no longer needed, and may be deleted.
3) Sign frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar
Open a DOS command prompt.
Add [OraHome]\jdk\bin to the PATH:
     set PATH=[OraHome]\jdk\bin;%PATH%
Sign the files, and check the output for success:
     [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
     [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\jacob.jar
4) If you already have a schema in your RDBMS which contains the WebUtil stored code,
you may skip this step. Otherwise,
Create a schema to hold the WebUtil stored code, and privileges needed to
connect and create a stored package. Schema name "WEBUTIL" is recommended
for no reason other than consistency over the user base.
Open [OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql in a text editor, and delete or comment
out the EXIT statement, to be able to see whether the objects were created witout
errors.
Start SQL*Plus as SYSTEM, and issue:
     CREATE USER webutil IDENTIFIED BY [password]
     DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
     TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
     GRANT CONNECT, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO webutil;
     CONNECT webutil/[password]@[connectstring]
     @[OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql
     -- Inspect SQL*Plus output for errors, and then
     CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM webutil_db FOR webutil.webutil_db;
Reconnect as SYSTEM, and issue:
     grant execute on webutil_db to public;
5) Modify [OraHome]\forms\server\default.env, and append [OraHome]\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
to the CLASSPATH entry.
6) Start the OC4J instance
7) Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
Open webutil.pll, do a "Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K), and generate to PLX (Control-T).
It is important to generate the PLX, to avoid the FRM-40039 discussed in
Note 303682.1
If the PLX is not generated, the Webutil.pll library would have to be attached with
full path information to all forms wishing to use WebUtil. This is NOT recommended.
8) Create a new FMB.
Open webutil.olb, and Subclass (not Copy) the Webutil object to the form.
There is no need to Subclass the WebutilConfig object.
Attach the Webutil.pll Library, and remove the path.
Add an ON-LOGON trigger with the code
         NULL;
to avoid having to connect to an RDBMS (optional).
Create a new button on a new canvas, with the code
         show_webutil_information (TRUE);
in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
9) Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if
the "Application Server URL" is empty.
Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
      http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
10) Run your form.sarah

Generated pdf file from oracle reports show bad characters

Hello all,
Iam fighting with a problem with generated pdf file from oracle reports which show some bad characters. I was searching for some information but it didnt help...
I have Oracle Database 11g R2 (or 10g R2) on Oracle Linux or Windows, Oracle forms and reports 6i (i know that is very old and not supported with 11gr2 but we are in this scenario).
NLS parameters are set like this
server:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
client:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_TERRITORY SLOVAK
NLS_LANGUAGE SLOVAKIA
When I run Oracle Reports it show perfect in display and when I try to print them, they are all good with good characters, but when I try to generate pdf file, some characters like č,š,ľ are not displaying corectly... This happen only when try to generate to pdf...
I try to work with uifont.ali on client side but without any result. Fonts for reports were installed on client and server side... Can someone help me with this problem? Thank you very much for every advice.
Martin

Hi Sergiusz,
Thank you for your reply. I look at what you wrote and try to make some test...
1) For first I download FontForge, which can generate type1 font from true type. So I open FontForge and open my Arial.ttf font and use "Generate Fonts" to save my Arial.ttf font to pfb and pfm (whoch are need to set in uifont.ali). I have to change encoding, because my font has 2byte encoding so I reecondode the font from ISO10646-1 to ISO8859-2 and generate to pfb.
2) Then I navigate REPORTS_PATH from regedit to my *.pfm and *.pfb files.
3) I add these lines to end of my uifont.ali
[ PDF:Embed ]
Arial = "Arial.pfm Arial.pfb"
ArialNarrow = "ArialNarrow.pfm ArialNarrow.pfb"
4) Then I generate my report but nothing change... I check "Font used" in my pdf file, but there were not my fonts embedded I guess..
I also try PDF:Subset, but it doesnt change anything... I try PDF aliasing to see if my uifont is working - this work very well, but I dont need to change font...
Any other advice? Thank you so much to everyone!

Hello,
The easiest way to load a blob is to use SQL loader.
This example comes from the utilities guide:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'sample.dat'
INTO TABLE person_table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
(name CHAR(20),
1 ext_fname FILLER CHAR(40),
2 "RESUME" LOBFILE(ext_fname) TERMINATED BY EOF)

How to insert a image file into oracle database

hi all
can anyone guide me how to insert a image file into oracle database now
i have created table using
create table imagestore(image blob);
but when inserting i totally lost don't know what to do how to write query to insert image file

Hi I don't have time to explain really, I did have to do this a while ago though so I will post a code snippet. This is using the commons file upload framework.
Firstly you need a multi part form data (if you are using a web page). If you are not using a web page ignore this bit.
out.println("<form name=\"imgFrm\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" action=\"FileUploadServlet?thisPageAction=reloaded\" onSubmit=\"return submitForm();\"><input type=\"FILE\" name=\"imgSource\" size='60' class='smalltext' onKeyPress='return stopUserInput();' onKeyUp='stopUserInput();' onKeyDown='stopUserInput();' onMouseDown='noMouseDown(event);'>");
out.println("   <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit' class='smalltext'>");
out.println("</form>"); Import this once you have the jar file:
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.*;Now a method I wrote to upload the file. I am not saying that this is correct, or its the best way to do this. I am just saying it works for me.
private boolean uploadFile(HttpServletRequest request, HttpSession session) throws Exception {
        boolean result = true;
        String fileName = null;
        byte fileData[] = null;
        String fileUploadError = null;
        String imageType = "";
        String error = "";
        DiskFileUpload fb = new DiskFileUpload();
        List fileItems = fb.parseRequest(request);
        Iterator it = fileItems.iterator();
        while(it.hasNext()){
            FileItem fileItem = (FileItem)it.next();
            if (!fileItem.isFormField()) {
                fileName = fileItem.getName();
                fileData = fileItem.get();
                // Get the imageType from the filename extension
                if (fileName != null) {
                    int dotPos = fileName.indexOf('.');
                    if (dotPos >= 0 && dotPos != fileName.length()-1) {
                        imageType = fileName.substring(dotPos+1).toLowerCase();
                        if (imageType.equals("jpg")) {
                            imageType = "jpeg";
        String filePath = request.getParameter("FILE_PATH");
        session.setAttribute("filePath", filePath);
        session.setAttribute("fileData", fileData);
        session.setAttribute("fileName", fileName);
        session.setAttribute("imageType", imageType);
        return result;
     } And now finally the method to actually write the file to the database:
private int writeImageFile(byte[] fileData, String fileName, String imageType, String mode, Integer signatureIDIn, HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception {
        //If the previous code found a file that can be uploaded then
        //save it into the database via a pstmt
        String sql = "";
        UtilDBquery udbq = getUser(request).connectToDatabase();
        Connection con = null;
        int signatureID = 0;
        PreparedStatement pstmt = null;
        try {

Flat file to Oracle Database - Invalid Month

Hi All
I am New to XI and trying to create a simple interface between Legacy system (flat file) and Oracle database.
I have some date fields in the Oracle table.
When i run the interface it says "invalid month" with some SQL exception number.
I am using (mm/dd/yyyy) format for the date.
Is there any conversion i need to do. I am using XML SQL format for Oracle database.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Nagakishore

Hello,
Oracle is very picky with the way date is stored. Assume that you have a field datefield that you need to save. In mapping add an attribute hasqQuote and set it to "NO". When mapping the value to the node use to_date as shown below.
<DateField hasQuot="No">
TO_DATE("2004-07-20", "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss")</DateField>
cheers,
Naveen

Edited by: user3523292 on Nov 14, 2008 5:43 AMThis is a forum of volunteers. There is no "urgent" here. Nevertheless, a google search of 'xml oracle export' quickly lead me to this Oracle site:
otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/xml/index.html
I also see lots of hits when I search the documentation library at tahiti.oracle.com for 'xml'. This one in particular may be what you are looking for:
