Populating image_item within plsql

Question

Hi,
Forms version 9.0.4.0.19
Is there a way to populate a image_item that is a non database item with a value (image) from a blob-column in a db table.
I have a procedure in a PLL that today assigns the image_item with the image from a file (Read_Image_File(Image_FileName, 'JPG', 'IMAGE_ITEM')).
From now on we stores the image in a table instead.
The procedure is called from a number of forms and I would like to not change i all of them...
Any ideas ?

Answer 1

Suppose we have a table like
Create table gs( X NUMBER,Y VARCHAR2(2));
INDRA>select * from gs;
X Y
1 s1
2 s2
Now,can you please help me for the PL/SQL block below -
INDRA>
declare
v varchar2(3200):='s1,s2'||',';--:control.conditions||',';
sn varchar2(3200);
Type ArrayType Is Table of Varchar2(200)
Index by Binary_integer;
l number;n number;
S ArrayType;
Begin
l:=length(v)-length(replace(v,',',''));
for i in 1..l
loop
n:=instr(v,',',1,1);
s(i):=''''||substr(v,1,n-1)||'''';
v:=substr(v,n+1);
end loop;
For i in 1..l
loop
sn:=sn||','||s(i);
end loop;
sn:=substr(sn,2);
dbms_output.put_line('string= '||sn);
for j in (select x from gs where y in (sn))
loop
dbms_output.put_line('x= '||j.x);
end loop;
End ;
string= 's1','s2'
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
why the cursor is not working ?
(retriving no row selected)
But when we are using sql we get
INDRA>select x from gs where y in ('s1','s2');
X
1
2
Is there any alternative way ?
Note:It was actually a Form 6i Trigger code
for the control item :control.conditions,when
user would enter the conditions like s1,s2,s3,...
and we have to select something from another database
table.
