Report to display a picture from a blob column

hi all
i have a problem :please help
environment: oracle AS 10.1.2.0.2 portal version 10.1.4
i have a slq report:
select field1,field2...,,
decode(cd.photo, empty_blob(),
'<img src="MYCS.show_img?p_field=IMG&p_rowid=NO_CHILD_PIC">',
decode(cd.SOURCE, 'MAIN',
'<img src="MYCS.show_img?p_field=CHILD&p_rowid='||mycs_lib.url_encode(cd.rid)||'" width=160 height=120>',
'<img src="MYCS.show_img?p_field=CHILDARCH&p_rowid='||mycs_lib.url_encode(cd.rid)||'" width=160 height=120>')
) "PHOTO"
from MYCS.mycs_child_details_v cd
where cd.id like :child_id
adn ...
The last field on the (select statement) is a photo(blob type)
NB:MYCS.mycs_child_details_v is a view
trying to create the report i get the following Error:
unable to describe SQL statement. Please correct it (WWV-13010)
Took exception (WWV-13005)
ORA-00942: inconsistent datatypes: expected - BLOB wwv-11230
This report runs without any errors on portal 3.0.9 9i AS
i dont understand what could be wrong here?
is BLOB datatype not supported by/on portal?
is the other way i can display this picture(s)?

Jean,
See this thread:
How can I upload/display image within a record ?

  • Display a PDF from a BLOB Column on a page.

    Hi Folks.
    I have PDFs stored in BLOB columns in the database.
    Is there a way to display these to the APEX user on the page at runtime?
    Any pointers appreciated.
    Meantime I'm going to experiment.
    Cheers
    Dogfighter.

    I suppose this depends really on what you want.
    You have at least two choices.
    1) Allow the user to download the pdf and then they get the option to save it or open it in a new window
    2) You can also get them to open it. You can open it in a new window by adding "_blank"
    in the target.
    The sample application has procedures download_my_file and custom_image_display which will show you how to achieve this.
    The only other way you could possibly do it is open it as a plugin. Thats way beyond my knowledge, but I'm sure someone else will chip in.

  • Report to display (actuals data from one cube and plan from another)

    Hi Gurus,
             I have a requirement in reporting to display actual data from one cube and plan data from a different one.
            The example below might give a clear picture of the requirement.
    rows has key figures and columns = months
    Jan |  Feb |  Mar |  Apr |  May |  Jun  ...   ....
    GrossSales
    Net Sales   
    Now if I run the report for Current month (Apr), then for the months of (Jan, Feb and Mar) i need to get the data from CUBE1   and for the remaining months (Apr thru Dec) from CUBE2.
    Similarly when i run the report next month(may), 
    then (data for Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr  from CUBE1)
    and ( May thru Dec from CUBE2)
    Any suggestions.
    Thanks in Advance
    Kumar

    Hi Henry,
         We alreadey have a multi provider which includes
    FinDat Cube(CUBE1) for actuals and Comm.Goals cube (CUBE2) for plan.
    So you suggest that we have two versions of key figure for actual and plan.
    ie. each KF will have two versions.
    actuals = (version 10, FiscPer<curr.mnth, key figure, acutals cube)
    Plan = (version 20, FiscPer>=curr.mnth, key figure, comm.goals cube)
    eg:
    Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun ...
    GrossSales(Act)
    GrossSlaes(Plan)
    Net Sales(Acutal)
    Net Sales(Plan)
    Correct me if I am wrong.
    the report has a lot of key figures, having two versions for each kf will be confusing.
    the user would like to see
    Jan.....| ...Feb  |..Mar |..Apr.....|  May  | 
    GrossSales   Act Value|Act.V |Act.V| PlanVal|PlanVal|
    Net Sales
    where Act.Value is from CUBE1
             Plan Value is from CUBE2
    Thanks

  • IPhoto 9.6 doesn´t display any pictures from library, upgraded

    iPhoto 9.6 doesn´t display any pictures from library. I have upgraded from an old iPhoto. I upgraded the Library also.
    Everything is inside the Library I can see but when I run iPhoto I get only a yellow note on the screen and no pictures?

    Everything is inside the Library I can see
    Do you mean by looking into the library using the Finder?
    but when I run iPhoto I get only a yellow note on the screen and no pictures?
    Then iPhoto has probably opened a new, empty library, because it could not find or access your iPhoto library. What happens, whiny double-click the Library to open it directly?
    Where is your iPhoto library stored? Is it in the Pictures folder or on an external drive?

    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.

  • Error while opening PDF file downloaded  from database Blob column

    Hi All,
    I am working on jdev 11.1.1.4.0.
    In my use-case I am using filedownload Actionlistner on a link to get the PDF file stored in the database in blob field. These files are being uploaded from other use-case in adf only.
    After getting the dialog box to open/save/cancel for the PDF file when i click on open then i am getting an error *'Adobe Reader could not open 'abc.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type*
    or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly docoded)' for some files , and to my surprise I am able to open some files.
    When I open these PDF files separately from desktop I am able to view the content of each and every file in adobe reader.
    I dont know where the problem exactly lies , while uploading/downloading the file . Any ideas/thoughts to resolve this issue?
    Thanks
    Kanika

    Thanks a lot Timo...!!!
    I checked the PDF file downloaded directly from the blob column in DB, there only it is corrupted so must be the problem in uploading the file. I am checking the code line by line,, but no problem in setting the file content type,size etc.
    Here is the code snippet ..
    byte[] buff;
    buff = new byte[(int)length]; -- Length is the file size
    int bytesRead = is.read(buff);
    for (int i = 0; bytesRead < buff.length; i++) {
    // int b = is.read();
    int b = is.read();
    if (b == -1)
    break;
    buff[i] = (byte)b;
    BlobDomain blobDomian = new BlobDomain((buff));
    TestVORow = (TestVORow Impl)TestVO.createRow();
    if(blobDomian != null) {
    TestVORow.setAttachment(blobDomian);
    am.getTransaction().commit();
    This seems to be Ok to me..the same issue, file is still corrupting.
    Any thoughts from your side ???
    Thanks
    Kanika
    The problem is resolved.
    Changes made are instead of
    InputStream is;
    used ... BufferedInputStream bis ;
    and after
    for (int i = 0; bytesRead < buff.length; i++) {
    // int b = bis.read();
    int b = bis.read();
    if (b == -1)
    break;
    buff[i] = (byte)b;
    bis.close(); // use this close bufferedInput Stream.
    Able to open each and every file now..Thanks for your suggestions Timo and Frank.

  • Insert picture in a blob column and show in oracle forms

    hi ,
    please help me with this
    I am trying to insert a picture into a blob column of a table and show that in oracle forms , but not able to do it .
    I am using version 10g for both database and forms .
    Please tell me how to insert a picture in a blob column that is stored in my 'c:\test' folder
    and also how to show that in forms .

    To populate the Image Item you have to use the Webutil Client_Read_Image_File() built-in.
    here
    http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/forms/10g/state?navSetId=_&navId=3&vtTopicFile=f1_help/builtn_r/readimag.html&vtTopicId=
    To add an Image Item to your block based on the table that contains the BLOB column, then give this Image Item the BLOB column name.
    So that, all you have to do is to execute query on that block.

  • Displaying a picture from an array of pixel values

    I have a picture I want to display in an AWT frame. The picture is stored as several arrays of pixel values which represent rectangles.
    Each rectangle has a start co-ordinate and a height and width.
    There is a ColorModel associated with the pixel values, so that's not a problem.
    What's the best way to display these rectangles as pixels, and patch them all together to make the full picture? I'm currently trying to use a MemoryImageSource, but I'm having trouble displaying more than one rectangle at once, and the picture flickers like mad, suggesting MemoryImageSource intended for animation, whereas I just want to display the picture once.
    Any suggestions?

    OK, that looks good. I'm investigating it.
    However, It's not clear how to get the pixel values from an array into it. It requires a WriteableRaster of the pixel data, and to create a WriteableRaster, you need a DataBuffer... which is Abstract!
    Do you know how to make a DataBuffer from an array?

  • Opening Excel Files from DB (blob column)

    My project has implemented a WEBUTIL solution to attach files into the database, view the files stored in the database (in a BLOB column), and remove the files stored in the database.
    Everything has been running smoothly. We are in final testing and have found a couple of interesting scenarios ...
    When a user tries to view an Microsoft Excel 2007 file from our application, the Excel file displays properly (as long as Microsoft Excel isn't already open - outside of our Oracle application). Once the Excel file is viewed, the system will not allow the user back to our application until after the Excel file is closed (we use the start /wait myExcelFile.xls ... command). This works perfectly for us.
    The two scenarios we encounter occur when
    1.) The user has Microsoft Excel open outside of our application and tries to open an Excel file from within our application, or
    2.) The user has the file already open (either from within our application or outside of our application) and then tries to open the file from within our application.
    Let me explain a little further because the above two scenarios are interrelated.
    When a user has Microsoft Excel open (outside of our application), and then clicks the button to open the Excel file, the system will open the file as another window (within Excel). The system will allow the user to navigate back to our application (where as, if Excel is not open outside of our application, the system will not allow the user to navigate back to our application). Once the user navigates back to our application (while the file is still open), the user can click the button to view the file again. At this point, the user is displayed a WUT-105 error message (I assume b/c the system is trying to open a file that is already open).
    I assume the two solutions are the following:
    a.) Do not allow a user to open a file that is already open (not sure how to check this from within Forms ?)
    b.) Do not allow a user to open an Excel file when another EXCEL process is already running (this will avoid allowing the user to naviagate back to our application)
    I don't know if there is a better solution.
    Do you experts have any recommendations?
    We are using Oracle Application Server 10g R2 (10.1.2.0.2), Oracle Database 10g R2 (10.2), and Oracle Developer 10g (10.1.2.0.2)
    I hope this all makes sense.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!
    I believe that will work (adding a sequence number to the end of the filename)!
    We do not allow a user to update the file, only view. If a user wants to make a change, they need to remove the existing file (from the database), create a new file (outside of our application), and attach the file in our application (into the database). All updates occur outside of our application - we are not a document authoring system, just a document storage system.
    Once again, many thanks on the solution!

  • How to get the File-Type from a BLOB-Column

    Hi all,
    I have the database table with the BLOB-Column. In this column are Word/Pdf/Excel/... files can be stored.
    Now I want to open these Files from Webforms.
    I can download the file from database to the client and then open the file with client_ole2.CREATE_OBJ('Word.Application');
    But I can not be sure that the file is a Word-Document.
    How can I know which application is saved in the BLOB-column?
    Regards

    Hi Francois,
    thank you.
    Unfortunatelly I do not know the interMedia functions. Can you send me an example with interMedia?
    I am working with your solution with WEBUTIL_HOST.blocking.
    But when I do not give the extension for the file, in that the BLOB will be temporary stored, I get to see the Windows "Select Program..." window. When I select Word or anything else then the file will be opened, but the locking does not working.
    Any ideas?
    Regards

  • How to display binary file saved in BLOB column in Discoverer PLUS /VIEWER

    HI, Friends,
    I tried to display the binary file saved in the database in BLOB column with the *.doc or *.xls fomats, but it seemed not work at all. I can display them in discoverer DESKTOP, but not the web version PLUS or VIEWER. MY Discoverer PLUS/VIEWER version is 9.0.4.45.02 and the database is 9.2.0.4. Are there any special setting/configuration in somewhere (Discoverer administration/Applicaiton server/PLUS/VIEWER?)
    Any help /information will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    Sorry but this feature is not available in the web version of 9.0.4.45. You will have to write your own mod_plsql function to download the file.

    Am I missing something? I recently discovered that I need to set SERVEROUTPUT on to display the DBMS_OUTPUT. Is their some other environment variable I need to set.
