hi jully,
create table demo
( id int primary key,
theBlob blob
create or replace directory my_files as
'/export/home/tkyte/public_html';
declare
l_blob blob;
l_bfile bfile;
begin
insert into demo values ( 1, empty_blob() )
returning theBlob into l_blob;
l_bfile := bfilename( 'MY_FILES', 'aria.gif' );
dbms_lob.fileopen( l_bfile );
dbms_lob.loadfromfile( l_blob, l_bfile,
dbms_lob.getlength( l_bfile ) );
dbms_lob.fileclose( l_bfile );
end;

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"?>

Getting errors while writing to a BLOB column using PrepareStatement

Hello,
I am getting the following errors when I am trying to insert in a BLOB in the oracle 9i database:

time
You're doing exactly what the error says, that is committing with an open LOB. Look at the following piece of code: you write in the LOB, you flush it and then commit. There is no closing of the LOB stream before committing.
Try putting the tempBlobOStream.close() instruction before the commit.
// Write the data into the temporary CLOB from the
he byte array
          tempBlobOStream.write(ba);
          // Flush and close the stream
          tempBlobOStream.flush();
nn.commit();
          //Close everything
tempBlobOStream.close();

Updating a blob column using a ResultSet

Hi,
I'm using jdeveloper 3.2.3 with a 9i database and the smartupload component to save file in a blob column.
I'm using the following code
String sSql0 = "SELECT DOCUMENT.NEXTVAL FROM DUAL";
oracle.jbo.html.jsp.JSPApplicationRegistry appRegistry = oracle.jbo.html.jsp.JSPApplicationRegistry.getInstance();
appRegistry.registerApplicationFromPropertyFile(session,"dgpa_bd_BdModule");
ApplicationModule am = appRegistry.getAppModuleInstance("dgpa_bd_BdModule",request,session);
ApplicationModuleImpl appMod = (ApplicationModuleImpl)am;
PreparedStatement stmt1 = appMod.getDBTransaction().createPreparedStatement(sSql0, 1);
String sSql2 = "SELECT t.* FROM TGTDOCD0 t WHERE IDOCUMEN = 32";
Statement stmt2 = stmt1.getConnection().createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY ,ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
ResultSet rs = stmt2.executeQuery(sSql2);
if (rs.next()) {
// Initialization
mySmartUpload.initialize(pageContext);
// Upload
mySmartUpload.upload();
// Add the current file in the DB field
mySmartUpload.getFiles().getFile(0).fileToField(rs,"gdocumen"); //gdocumen is the blob column
// Update
rs.updateRow();
rs.close();
stmt2.close();
But when i run the rs.updateRow() i have the follwing error: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01008
what's i'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Where is the image coming from? Are you getting it from a file? User Upload?

Retrieving contents of a BLOB column using XSQL

I am using a simple XSQL page to retrieve some data from a 9i database and the majority of it works fine.
When I try and retrieve data from a BLOB column I just get a stream of numbers in the result when I am expecting to see some XML data.
Query:
<xsql:query>
SELECT GLOBALINDEXEDBLOB FROM {@db} WHERE {@where}

Result:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>

anybody can help?

Insert value to BLOB column

Hi dearest of Friends,
How how do I insert values to a BLOB column using SQL-DEVELOPER? Say I will save a JPEG file to it. Although I know how to display the contents of it (BLOB) using this tool, which is really a big help.
Thanks a lot

When you display the contents, there's a Load button to load your new content into it.

I have a question for you: Inserting Word document in BLOB column

Hey Experts,
I have found a good info and a sample on how to achieve this on

declare
f_lob bfile;
b_lob blob;
begin
insert into sam_emp(empno,ename,resume)
values ( 9001, 'Samir',empty_blob() )
return risumi into b_lob;

( b_lob, f_lob, dbms_lob.getlength(f_lob) );
dbms_lob.fileclose(f_lob);

I have a jsp project and the users ( on the client side)must be
able to create a word document and send it to the server with an
uplaod servlet. With another servlet or jsp i want to process
this word document in BLOB column using JAVA. The sample above
uses PL/SQL to achieve this. Is there a way i can do this in my
servlet/jsp to do the same thing?
Any hints are welcome!

The option should be visible here: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Printing%20a%20web%20page#w_print-window-settings
Print range section - Lets you specify which pages of the current web page are printed:
* Select '''All''' to print everything.
* Select '''Pages''' and enter the range of pages you want to print. For example, selecting "from 1 to 1" prints the first page only.
* Select '''Selection''' to print only the part the page you've highlighted.
Does it work for you?

Sample insert into table with BLOB column

This is my first opportunity to work with BLOB columns. I was wondering if anyone had some sample code that shows the loading of a blob column and inserted into the table with a blob column.
I have to produce a report (including crlf) and place it into a blob column. The user will download the report at a later time.
Any suggestions / code samples are greatly appreciated!!!!

You can enable string binding in TopLink.
login.useStringBinding(int size);
or you could enable binding in general,
login.bindAllParameters();

Retreving Image from Blob Columns in forms 6i

Hi
I inserted image into oracle database in an BLOB column Using Form6i. The table has only two columns, One is varchar2 and other is BLOB. The time it take for inserting image is very little, but retrieving from database to form is taking time. Can anybody suggest tips to improve the speed of retrieving?
Thanks in advance
Ahamed Rafeeque CH

What are you doing exactly?
select blob_column
from my_tablewithout a WHERE clause retrieves all images. Yes, that may take some time. Be sure to add a WHERE clause.

I can't import a table contains BLOB column from one user to another user.

1) I create two user both have connect role,and each has its own tablespace, DDL:
create user d2zd identified by d2zd default tablespace d2zd quota unlimited on d2zd account unlock;
grant connect to d2zd;
create user d3zd identified by d3zd default tablespace d3zd quota unlimited on d3zd account unlock;
grant connect to d3zd;
2)Then enter oracle as d2zd and create a table contains BLOB column and insert data to the table.
3) export d2zd as follow:
exp d2zd/d2zd file=d2zd.dmp
4) import to d3zd as follow:
imp d3zd/d3zd fromuser=d2zd touser=d3zd file=d2zd.dmp
the question is the table with BOLB colum can't be import,
it says:have no privilege on tablespace d2zd.
How can I import a table contains BLOB column from one user to another user?

Hi - the reason for as our friend already told ist that a blob can be stored outside of the table segment, in another Tablespace, This is for performance reason.
Sou you would need to have Quota on two tablespaces.
the one which holds the table segment the other which holds the blob(segment).

Carl
