Problem w/ image item using 9i BLOB field and InterMedia ORDImage Object

Hi,dear all,
I have a problem with image item in Form 6i. Oracle 9i is used as backend DB, and a table contains image data is created for testing:
create table image_test(
id number,
image blob
In Form 6i, there is no problem to create a block for inserting/updating the image record into the database. However, it can not be used to retrieve image (blob field), the image item remains empty after 'execute query', while the id field can be retrieved. When the same table is created in Oracle 8.1.7, and the exact same form can be used without any problem both in inserting and retrieval. It seems that the Oracle 9i does not use the same way to store BLOB column. Has anybody ever encountered this problem? How to retrieve image (BLOB) in Form 6i from Oracle 9i?
I tried to use interMedia ORDImage as the data type in Oracle 9i, that is,
create table image_test(
id number,
image ORDSYS.ORDImage
Same problem, the form can insert record with image, but when retrieving, nothing displayed. Anybody could help! Thanks in advance!

hi!
well working with oracle8i and form6i.
same problem..but i used (instead of blob or clob as datatype..) Long raw..
it can be saved as usual..i mean Commit..
and can be retrieved..using Execute_Query..its working fine..
well if anybody get any other solution..do inform..

Problem building a trigger using a BLOB field in Oracle 10

My case is the following,
I'm trying to implement an AFTER trigger which uses the :new.blob_field to insert the new value in a table. Because of the documented AFTER restriction and :new use for blob fields, I've though to add other BEFORE trigger that calls a procedure in which I can store the :new value and later insert the temporary value in the table when the AFTER trigger is executed.
The Idea is the following:
BEFORE trigger :new -> TEMP
and then
AFTER trigger uses TEMP to store in the new table
So, the final questions are the following:
-Any other idea to do the same, that is, to use the ":new" value in an AFTER trigger?
-How can I do this with the temp variable, is this correct?:
PROCEDURE store_blob ( new_val BLOB ) IS
BEGIN
DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY(new_blob_temp,TRUE, DBMS_LOB.SESSION);
-- fill with data
DBMS_LOB.COPY (new_blob_temp,new_val,DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(new_val),1,1);
END store_blob ;
Because of the design of the application I have to use the AFTER trigger to store the new value so I must find a solution for this type of fields.
Sorry for the size of the text and also for my english.
Thanks in advance

Problem Querying Oracle Forms Using a Date Field and a Format Mask

Hello,
We are experiencing a problem with Oracle Forms that I was wondering if you can help me with.
We have several Forms that have single database blocks assigned to Oracle tables. The Forms are queryable and one of the fields we’re querying on is assigned to a field on the base table which is Not Null and has a Type of DATE. We are storing date/time information in this field on the database table. The item on the form is set up as a Date field with a Maximum Length of 7, a Format Mask ‘MMDDYY’ and having a Query Length of 10.
We’ve seen a discrepancy in how these fields are used to query the base table block. On some user’s computers they are able to enter a 6 digit date followed by the % sign (e.g. ‘091808%’) and they get the expected results. Other users get ‘FRM-40301: Query caused no records to be retrieved. Re-enter’. Do you know why we are experiencing this difference?
- The Oracle Database version we are running is Release 10.1.0.5.0.
- The Forms Developer version that we’re experiencing the problem with is 4.5.10.15.2
Thanks,
Kris

There is no obvious reason that I can see.
Version 4.5 is very old so you might have problems calling Oracle Support. If you can reproduce the same problem o0n 10.1.2 you should call have them analyze the problem.

Problems with image items

In a form (version 6.0) I have a database block with 3 image items, referencing 3 blobs fields of one record. Three buttons which use read_image_file to read data from a user selected file and put it on every item. It works out when every image item is filled in with every image, or when the form commits with no image items modified, but, if you change for instance only the second image item, it is displayed fine but when the information is retrieved you can see it was saved into de first item!, and the second one is empty, the third one has its valid image. Another example: if the third is changed, it will appear in the first one, the second item remains the same, and then the third one appears to be empty. One more: If the first and third item are modified, then after retrieving the data the first has its image, the second one takes the image from the third one and the third one is empty.
So, it seems it always “move” the information at commit time from the first item filled in, to the first item not filled in, or to the first item that become empty after another previous “movement”.
I have tried this with an almost empty form, with no triggers and nothing but the 3 image items, the 3 buttons, and the commit button.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanx.
every button code follows (changing to bImg2 and bImg3 for the other two buttons):
declare
path     varchar2(1024);
begin
     path := get_file_name;
if path is not null then
     read_image_file (path, null, 'bk.bImg1');
end if;
go_item('navigableitem');
synchronize;
end;
the commit button has this:
commit_form;
execute_query;
the block has a fixed default where in order to retreive one record to test all this. As you can see there is nothing else, it is a very simple form.
:)

Z, search Metalink for bug 804091. IMAGE ITEMS SAVED TO NEW BLOB COLUMN FOR IMAGE ITEM, QUERIED BACK TO WRONG ITEM.

I cannot display image (read from oracle BLOB field) on browser?

I cannot display image (read from oracle BLOB field) on browser?
Following is my code, someone can give me an advise?
content.htm:
<html>
<h1>this is a test .</h1>
<hr>
<img src="showcontent.jsp">
</html>showcontent.jsp:
<%@ page import="com.stsc.util.*" %>

     STDataSet data = new STDataSet();
//get blob field from database
     String sql = "SELECT NR FROM ZWTAB WHERE BZH='liqf004' AND ZJH='001'";
     //get the result from database
     ResultSet rs = data.getResult(sql,dbBase);
     if (rs!=null && rs.next()) {
          Blob myBlob = rs.getBlob("NR");
          response.setContentType("image/jpeg");//
          byte[] ba = myBlob.getBytes(1, (int)myBlob.length());
          response.getOutputStream().write(ba);
          response.getOutputStream().flush();
     // close your result set, statement
     data.close();
%>

Don't use jsp for that, use servlet. because the jsp engine will send a blank lines to outPutStream corresponding to <%@ ...> tags and other contents included in your /html/base.jsp file before sending the image. The result will not be treated as a valid image by the browser.
To test this, type directly showcontent.jsp on your browser, and view it source.

I am creating a request for proposal form and I need to add a commission structure field. I created a table using the ranking field and now I need to delete the "dots/buttons" and turn them into text fields, is this possible?

It sounds like what you are trying to do is edit the choices in a likert field to something other than the default radio button. This is not something that you can do in Formscentral at this time.

Problem inserting a gif into a blob field in a table with sqldev / forms6i

Problem solved - For those that might be interested, the errors don't make much sense - the problem was with the gif. Seems that these 28 gifs plus the new scans were saved from the scanner with
GIF - LZW, Transparent color: 255
Converting them to Black and white allowed them to be loaded.
If anyone understands why, I'd like to know
glenn
I was previously having a problem deleting a row with a blob and it was suggested that I create the table using rowdependencies - which I did as follows.
CREATE TABLE "MDD"."MDD_FIGURE2"
(     "FG_FIGURENAME" VARCHAR2(18 BYTE),
     "FG_FIGURE" BLOB,
     CONSTRAINT "FG_FIGURENAME_NN" CHECK ("FG_FIGURENAME" IS NOT NULL) ENABLE
) ROWDEPENDENCIES;
Then I copied my data from my previous table with the following - and everything came across
INSERT INTO MDD_FIGURE2 (fg_figurename, fg_figure)
SELECT FIG_FIGNAME, FIG_FIGURE FROM MDD_FIGURE;
mdd_figure2 was then renamed to mdd_figure
The table, Mdd_Figure, already contains some 2000+ .gifs that were successfully loaded with Forms 6i (yes, I know it is old, but I am stuck with having to use it). All the .gifs I am loading are from scans and all are less than 64k. However, 28 .gifs would not load. When I insert the .gif into the field and committed the form, the status message tells me a record was written but when I check it, the blob is empty.
So, when I try to insert one of these problem .gifs in SqlDeveloper, I open the new mdd_figure table, select the blob field, open the edit dialog, set it to figure, select the .gif that I want to load and then save it. The blob field changes from NULL to BLOB, but it is empty. When I try to commit, I get the following error from SqlDev.
UPDATE "MDD"."MDD_FIGURE" SET WHERE ROWID = 'AAAOeWAAEAAABAlAAz' AND ORA_ROWSCN = '358136842'
One error saving changes to table "MDD"."MDD_FIGURE":
Row 14: ORA-01410: invalid ROWID
I use rollback to restore the record to it's previous state.
If I load one of the successfully loaded .gifs into the same field, it loads perfectly as follows.
UPDATE "MDD"."MDD_FIGURE" SET WHERE ROWID = 'AAAOeWAAEAAABAoAAp' AND ORA_ROWSCN = '358136522'
Commit Successful
It appears the 28 gifs have a problem. I've re-scanned them, with the same results. They are just small scanned line map images from our earlier publications. They view properly in several different graphics programs and I can't find anything wrong with them.
I notice that the ROWID's are different while the ORA_ROWSCN's are the same - but what is the significance of that?
Any suggestions as to what is happening and what I can do about it?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Problem Populating Image Item From Database

Hi All,
I am using Oracle 9i & Forms 6i on Windows platform & working in client/server model. I created a form in which, I am reading an image file from the file system & then saving it into the database. In the Databse, i created the column as BLOB. But, when I query, this does not retrive the saved image in Image Item. But image is actually saved. When I tried, changing the database column to LONG RAW, it is working. I mean its reading the image in the image item from the database.
Can anyone pls tell me, is there any problem like this, as we can retrive from LONG RAW but not from BLOB, or I am missin something here.
Regards

Hi,
I use Forms 6i to save and retrieve image in BLOB column without problems.
Some weeks ago, my column was long raw and I update it without problems. Nothing to do in Forms and juste modifiy query and recompile in Reports.

How can i use a blob field in a formula field object

Hi ,
We are using Crystal Report Server XI R2. i have a field "ANSWER" in my datasource which stores value 1 or 0.
And i have table to store two images as blob fields are "EVALTICKIMAGE" and "EVALCROSSIMAGE".
Now i need to show an image in my report for the field "ANSWER" instead of 0 or 1.
So i written a formula to achieve this. my formula text is follows:-
oFormulaField.Text = @"if {CSP_PROCESS_REPORT.ANSWER} = ""1"" then {EVALIMAGE.EVALTICKIMAGE} else {EVALIMAGE.EVALCROSSIMAGE} ";
but this does not works for me. i recieve an error "A blob field cannot be used in a formula".
is there any other way to show images based on a condition.
or is that possible to use blob fields formulafield, kindly help me.
Thanks,
Padmanaban V

You can use conditional suppression instead.
Place both image fields on the report. Right click the 1st image field (EVALIMAGE.EVALTICKIMAGE) and choose Format Graphic and make sure the Format Editor is on the Common Tab.
Click the x-2 button across from Suppress and enter the following formula:
IF({CSP_PROCESS_REPORT.ANSWER} = 1 THEN FALSE ELSE TRUE
For EVALIMAGE.EVALCROSSIMAGE, do the same thing except change the formula to:
IF({CSP_PROCESS_REPORT.ANSWER} = 0 THEN FALSE ELSE TRUE
Once that's done, you can set one image directly on top of the other.
HTH,
Jason

CRXIR2 image from blob field and some fonts not displaying in PDF export

I used CRXIR2 developer edition to create a report linked to a SQL 2000 database table. There is a blob field containing a JPG image that is different for each record in the table. I am using VB.NET code with ASP.NET 2.0 to programmatically change the temp file to a local folder for easy cleanup, open this crystal report with the 11.5.3700.0 version of the assemblies, set the datasource to a DataTable extracted from the DB, and then export to a PDF file.
The code for creating the PDF is:
        Dim TempRoot As String = MapPath(".") & "\temp\"
        Dim oldTmp As String = System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TMP")
        System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TMP", TempRoot)
        Dim objReport As New ReportDocument()
        objReport.Load(MapPath(".") & "\CReports\" & ReportName)
        For lnX As Integer = 0 To objReport.Database.Tables.Count - 1
                objReport.Database.Tables(lnX).SetDataSource(resultTable)
        Next
        Dim objDestinationOptions As New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
        Dim objExportOptions As New ExportOptions()
        Dim objFormatTypeOptions As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.PdfRtfWordFormatOptions()
        Dim pdfName As String = "test.pdf"
        objDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = MapPath(".") & "\temp\" & pdfName
        objExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
        objExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
        objExportOptions.ExportDestinationOptions = objDestinationOptions
        objReport.Export(objExportOptions)
        objReport.Dispose()
        System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TMP", oldTmp)
When I run the site locally in VS2008, everything works fine and a PDF contains the graph and all the fonts are correct.
However, when I run the exact same site from a web server running IIS6, the PDF generated does not have the image, and some of the fonts are substituted (all of the necessary fonts are installed on the IIS server).
Please help!

Hi Don,
I am able to see the image and export from the CR Designer on my machine running XP. However, I installed the designer on our IIS server running Server 2003, and the image does not show in the designer preview on that machine.
I found another forum thread that you are involved in (1902383) that seems to be dealing with this exact issue, and it looks like there may not be a resolution.
I am going to try a different route - instead of pulling in the SQL Image field directly, I am going to write it out to a temporary file and pull it in by altering the graphic location of the picture object in the report.
I'll let you know how that works.

Problem inserting Stream or ByteArray into Blob field.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I thought I had found the answer here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/codesnippet/jdbc/lob/LobToSP.html
I adapted the Clob code to a Blob:
private BLOB getBLOB( byte[] array)
throws Exception {
BLOB b = null;
try {
// create a new temporary BLOB
b = BLOB.createTemporary( conn, true, BLOB.DURATION_SESSION );
// Open the temporary BLOBin readwrite mode to enable writing
b.open( BLOB.MODE_READWRITE );
b.setBytes(array);
// Get the output stream to write
} catch ( Exception exp ) {
// Free BLOB object
b.freeTemporary( );
// do something
return b;
however, it appears that the BLOB being returned is null, and when sent to the DB, nothing is actually written. So any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is there anywhere where Apple describes the function and use of every field and popup and checkbox in the email setup "panes"???

So you call up an account in email
Account Information is selecgted in the 3-choice menu-bar/button (what is that thing called, anyway? An "inspector"? (frown).
Then check "enable this account"--is selectable
Then Account type: iCloud IMAP or example--this is NOT selectable.
Then "Description field" What's it for, where does it show up, especially if it shows up in other "related" or "integrated" programs?
Alias popup: What's this for? How do you use it. What approaches, strategies, effects might one employ?
Email address is pretty straight forward--but see "user.name" in the "server sub-box/sub-pane" below.
Full Name: What full name? Where does it appear in use? I cannot access it from the pane/panel, so how do I set it, or who/what sets it?
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): OK, here's a popup that isn't congruent with "account type" in the first sub-pane. Or is IMAP only an extroverted function/setting, and (SMTP) is a introverted one (IMAP for outbound, SMTP for inbound)?
Now comes Confusion: Outgoing Mail Server popup menu, which leads you off to a wholenother pane that lets you create new/delete old incoming server names.
There's a Description (what's that for, what does it do? Ditto Server name--I get than's something like smtp.ISP.Com or IMAP.ISP.com). You can set those fields in the + menu Account Information Pane, with its blank text fields. And you can also "double-click to enter" that field in the list itself. Why is that?And then I can select Advanced, and get another batch of checkboxes, fields, and popups.
But I left the Account Information pane before asking, What is this Thread-Lock Stitching Certificate thing? (Or is that Transport Layer Secrecy Sertificate, what? None is displaying now, but if I popup what's beneath it a humongously long "ID" string, which I take to be, what, my Apple ID? A public key/ provate key encryption string/key? How do I use it if I'm trying to keep the National Surveillance Agency from eavesdropping, "in the clear," my every blessed keystroke, "phrase-stroke" (think VoIP), and if I use the thing, can the president just press a button and send a drone to blow me off the planet (and anyone near me at the time--always great fun for friends and family)?
And never mind router and FiOS, etc., modem settings. and the Network settings outside of email....
I guess my bottom line is, the user is presented with a rich smorgasbord of significant choices by all of the panes and panels, etc., on the mac, iMac, iPad-Phone-Watch real soon now, mac pro, macbook pro, etc. But the specific description of the proper use of these description/instruction on their use and function is impoverished. I think manuals used to handle some of these issues. But where are the manuals? Or am I just so overwhelmed by the complexity of what was once a simple user interface that I can't see pointers (in light grey type on lighter grey backgrounds--what the heck is wrong with black type, I'd like to know!) staring me in the phiz. Oh, help.

Problems viewing MSNBC Slideshows using IE 7.0 and FP 9.0.115

I installed the latest version of Flash Player on a new
laptop (running WinXP pro, SP2) with Internet Explorer 7.0
(including all updates). The slideshows on MSNBC (msnbc.msn.com -
photos section) will not play. The window opens, but it stays on
picture 1 of the slideshow. You cannot manually advance through the
pictures either by clicking on the picture numbers or arrows. I had
FP 9.0.47 on my computer using IE 7.0 and it worked fine, but then
as a test, I upgraded my computer to FP 9.0.115 and now my computer
cannot view the slideshows. FP works on other sites and slideshows,
just not MSNBC. Anyone else have this issue? I have sent in
requests to MSN tech support, but no response yet. I don't know if
this is an issue with MSNBC's stuff not working with the latest
version or what. I've tried everything I could think of...any
suggestions? Can anyone else duplicate this issue?
Thanks!

Flash Player for IE is integrated by Microsoft with Windows 8 and 8.1 only... IE11 is a "rolling train wreck", though. Almost NOTHING on the web can properly identify it if it can be identified at all. As long as your current Flash Player is working, I'd "let a sleeping dog lie". Until you NEED to update it, don't with IE11.
With WIn 8.1 it's the worst combination in all computing history. Be glad you still have 7.

[2] Three methods are called, following the
Visual Basic guide from Logitech. The
first establishes a connection to the Active-X server. The status bar is activated in the preview
window (EnableUIElements), and we connect a camera (ConnectCamera2).
[3] Here we set the value of property
'EnablePreview' to turn on the preview panel.
[4] We can get the camera description for
camera zero here (the first camera connected).
[5] Here we select the video format (64x480
– can change it later). The next call
establishes the preview size by setting property values. The preview size should be the same as the
video format for fastest image acquisition.
[6] We are restricted to saving the picture
to a BMP file and then reading it in again.
This is a limitation of the SDK.
After reading the image file we can change it to a JPG if we wish to.
[7] Here we re-read the image file and
provide it to ImageDisplay.vi.
Other methods and property values are
reasonably self evident. In LabVIEW, if
you right click the Active-X reference terminal on any method, you can create a
new method by simply selecting the appropriate one from a list. The parameters for the method appear
automatically and should be reasonably self-evident from the names. If you want more details, download the SDK
from Logitech.
Other methods allow you to make movies in
real-time or time-lapse sequences.
Note that you can also monitor Active-X
events to detect inputs or parameter changes made elsewhere. For example it is possible to detect when
the button on the camera is pressed.)

1 eample from help file:
Video Disply
1. Choose the input mode (Video, Single Image Files, Screen, etc.)
XSetInputMode(0) // This
chooses video as input
2. Choose the video device
XSetVideoInput(0) //
Choose the first available video input device
3. Initialize XVideoOCX
XInit() // Initialize
XVideoOCX
4. Start internal video capture
XStart()
now XVideoOCX should display the live video
5. Stop internal video capture
XStop()
6. Close XVideoOCX
XClose()
