Saving & Loading binary (MS Word/Excel) file to Oracle 8i

Hi,
Can someone point me to the right direction or provide me with some guidance/sample codes on saving binary files such as MS Word & Excel into Oracle and loading the saved files so that it can be accessed/opened/emailed.
Thanks,
David

Minimally, you can save the document in a blob and the mimetype
in a varchar2 column. This can be done in PL/SQL with the PL/SQL
gateway like:
http://technet.oracle.com/sample_code/products/intermedia/htdocs/imedia_plsqlgw_sample/imedia_plsqlgw_readme.htm
Or, you could use the intermedia java classes as documented in:
http://technet.oracle.com/sample_code/products/intermedia/htdocs/intermedia_servlet_jsp_samples/imedia_servlet_jsp_readme.htm
The only thing to remember is that the examples are for image
audio and video. But the code does support straight blobs. So you
will have to look at the javadoc or code to figure out how to
load the blobs.

Loading data from an excel file to Oracle Tables

Hi Everyone,
Once again I will have to bring some data from some excel file, which I have already done and "know" how to do and I would like to confirm with you all something first.
What I shall do is the following:
From one excel workbook file which has a lot of info just in one spread sheet feed some tables with the data coming from it.
So what I have though is create mane name ranges (Define names on excel) as I need and work with them, but I will be facing with headers on the rows and columns. There is where I doubt if it will be possible. So far, I will not be able to modify the Excel’s file structure.
Something more or less like this:
Country1 Country 2
Sales1 9999999 9999999
Sales2 9999999 9999999
Sales3 9999999 9999999
Total123 9999999 9999999
Sales4 9999999 9999999
Sales5 9999999 9999999
Sales6 9999999 9999999
Total456 9999999 9999999
Best regards.

Hi SH,
First of all, I do really appreciate your time, patience and guidance.
Ok, let me get this straight.
You will need to create a data server for each Excel Work book
That means that as I will just work with one excel sheet, I will just have one data server and within it, there will be the spread sheets (excel tabs) and therefore the different named ranges.
Each of your named ranges will be a data store beneath the data server which can be used as a source model in your ODI interfaces. Therefore if you have a single workbook with 12 sheets for the months, each covered by a single named range, you would have a single data server withe 12 data stores.
This means that I will have something like this:
+ “My_Workbook.xls” server name (Just one)
-     Spread sheet 1 (1 or several named ranges)
-     Spread sheet 2 (1 or several named ranges)
-     Spread sheet 3 (1 or several named ranges)
-     Spread sheet n (1 or several named ranges)
I do think that if my statement above is correct, I think I got the idea. Is it like that?
I have gotten another question; let’s say for example that in any spread sheet I will have three different named ranges. The difference between spread sheet and spread sheet will be the month within and of course the information. Would it be accurate to bring it like that? That means that so far for twelve month I will bring 36 named ranges.
Well I think I had explained myself. Please do not hesitate to contact me if any further detail is required.
Best regards.

Can I globally change a setting so that Word/Excel files open in NeoOffice

We are evaluating the use of open "Office" applications. Is there a global setting that will allow us to force Word & Excel files to open in NeoOffice (and vice versa)? In addition, is there an Import Data feature in NeoOffice or OpenOffice?

Hello Sachin,
You can use the following metalink note:How to Read Data from an EXCEL Spreadsheet into a Form Using Webutil Client_OLE2 (Doc ID 813535.1) and modify it a little bit.
Instead of copy values into forms you can save them in your temporary table.

10.9.2 os freezes when quicklook/preview word excel files

Hi All,
My MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010) recently updated to 10.9.2. And a problem with preview app and QuickLook function occured right after the update, as described here:
It is unalbe to 'QuickLook' MS word and excel files (by pressing spacebar to these files on desktop or those in finder). When doing it, a blank Quicklook window pops out and the small circling thing is showing in the middle, but never showing its content. It can be meanwhile sensed that the Hard Disk freezes exremely and I cannot operate other apps or files while QuickLook is stucking as mentioned about. This also happens in Finder's "preview colonm" by highligting any word or excel files.
Same severe freezing happens when using preview.app to open word and excel files. The preview-app and hard disk will being stuck for a while (roughly one minute) and after that it shows an info. window without displaying file content but only showing file-name&file-type and modified date etc.
The BMP has installed MS office 2011 and it works fine when using office apps to open doc/docx/xls files directly. Only are the freezings found with Preview.app and using QuickLook fucntion.
Can Apple developers/technicians or anyone please check upon this issue and sugguest any solution that I could apply. Reply me if further infomation is needed. Thanks ahead.

Hi,
I have the same problem. I don't know what cause this, but I can tell you that I tried to reset SMC and VRAM and the problem not was solved. In my case it ocurrs only when the word file have section breaks...
You can look for the "finder web content" process at system monitor ant force its termination. Then the issue should be solved until you try to preview a new word, excel file in finder...
Bye

Help Required:How Upload Excel file Into Oracle Table Using PLSQL Procedure

Please Help , Urgent Help Needed.
Requirement is to Upload Excel file Into Oracle Table Using PLSQL Procedure/Package.
Case's are :
1. Excel File is On Users/ Client PC.
2. Application is on Remote Server(Oracle Forms D2k).
3. User Is Using Application Using Terminal Server LogIn.

[email protected], [email protected]

TEXT_IO is a PL/SQL package available only in Forms (you'll want to post in the Forms forum for more information). It is not available in a stored procedure in the database (where the equivalent package is UTL_FILE).
If the Terminal Server machine and the database machine do not have access to the file system on the client machine, no application running on either machine will have access to the file. Barring exceptional setups (like the FTP server on the client machine), your applications are not going to have more access to the client machine than the operating system does.
If you map the client drives from the Terminal Server box, there is the potential for your Forms application to access those files. If you want the files to be accessible to a stored procedure in the database, you'll need to move the files somewhere the database can access them.

Upload the excel file in oracle db through oracle forms

Hi all,
I want to upload the excel file in oracle db through oracle forms...I am new to oracle forms .
I have searched a lot but not getting exact solution
Is there anyone who will help me out with this .....
Any help will be appriciated

I'm trying to move data from excel into an Oracle forms field. This involves coping 2 columns of data cells in excel and pasting it into an Oracle forms field. I can get the date pasted into the Oracle forms field but there is a invisible character that separates the 2 columns of data coming from Excel. I do not know what this character is but it is causing the error 'Line 1 is invalid. Check forms'.
Any ideas how to get pass this?
Thank you

Office 2013 can't open word, excel files from the network after upgrade to 8.1

Hello,
Recently, I upgraded all PCs from WIN 8 to Win 8.1. After the upgrade I noticed that I can't open any word documents and excel files. Before the upgraded I have no problem opened any files. All PCs have over 500GB free space on hard drive. Other PCs that
run Win 7 have no problem open them only the one with Win 8.1. This is what I got:
I right click--> property and there is no unblocked. All files resided on the network server.
Please help.
Jimmy

Hi Jimmy,
Did you get any error message when you try to open an Excel file/Word document?
If so, you can post the error message and event log here.Also ,if you had antivirus software installed, try to disable them to test this issue.
In addition, what happens if you add the network server location as a trusted location?
