Saving an Image to an Oracle Database over the Internet

Question

I would like to know how to transfer an image over the Internet and save that image to an Oracle Database. That is I am trying to make it so that a user can connect to the Internet and select an image file form their PC in TIFF, JPEG, or some other format. Next, I would like to save this image to an Oracle 7.3.4 Database in a LongRaw data type. This image will need to be save into a certain record in a table that I created. In the next few months we will be upgrading to Oracle 8 that uses Blob data type. Any one who knows how this can be done, please let me know.

Answer 1

Yes, that's right. Here is the pertinent code:
In the flax app:
private function captureImg(imgEnc:IImageEncoder):void { 
var ohSnap:ImageSnapshot;ohSnap = ImageSnapshot.captureImage(img, 0, imgEnc);
textArea.text = ImageSnapshot.encodeImageAsBase64(ohSnap);
InsertImage(textArea.text);
In the HTTP service AS module:
private  
function InsertImage(sImageCoded:String):void { var sQry:String;sQry =  
"INSERT INTO image (lImageId, blbBitMap, txtImage, lRecipeId) " sQry +=
"VALUES(0, '" +sImageCoded +"', 'text', 23)"  
//Alert.show(sQry);mysqlQuery(sQry,
"InsertImage");}
As mentioned previously, an HTTPrequest error is generated although I can enter
the string into the blob manually in MySQL.
