Store Image on table ??

Hi,
I would like to know which way is much better on handling the image store.
1. Store image on the table OR
2. Store the links on the table OR
3. any new way..
Please advise.
Thanks.

Depends on your requirement.
Just remember, if you store images in database, your database size will grow faster and it may affect your backup and restore time.
Storing images in table guarantees that image would be available, if your sys admin can asure you that files will always be available and path will not be changed, you may consider links as well.

Can we use BLOB fields (that store images) in Crystal Report ?

I'm developing with ASP.NET, VS.NET 2003.
Using Crystal Report for VS.NET
DataBase: Oracle 10g
I store a BLOB field in a table. This field store images, like jpg files.
The Stored Procedure that I use to fill the report is:
OPEN MyCursor FOR
SELECT MyId , MyImg
FROM MyTable
MyImg is BLOB field
However, when I try to use the stored procedure in Crystal Report at design mode, any field can be displayed and then drag and drop to the report, but MyImg is not possible.
There is an error message:
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x80004005
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle
Description: Data type is not supported
I'm afraid that is not so easy for me to change DB connector drivers.
My question is:
- Is it possible to use BLOB fields in Cyrstal Reports?
- Or should I convert them previously to something, so they can be displayed in Crystal Report at desing mode ?
- If I should change DB connector drivers, which one should I use and from where should I download it and then install it in my Web Server?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
I dont know much at all about CR, but I do know Microsoft's OLEDB Provider for Oracle doesnt support Blob datatype.. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q244661/
Oracle's OLEDB provider does though, you can get it as part of the ODAC download on OTN.
Hope that helps,

How do I store images in a jar file to be displayed on a jsp?

Afternoon all,
I have created a java component which accepts some parameters and returns a string. The returned string contains html tags to display a table in a webpage when rendered through a browser.
I want to be able to add this component to any java web project to display my table. The problem is that I want to use images in my table to give the appearance of curved corners.
How do I store images in my component and render to a webpage?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

You won't be able to make the install of this library as simple as the installation of a jar file. You can't access the images directly in the jar.
There are a few approaches you can take:
1 - jar file + resources:
Have the install as being a jar and a "resources" directory which you store all the images in. Thus the images become part of the web application/web site and are accessible. Probably need to allow an entry in web.xml to configure where/what this directory is called.
2 - jar file only:
Provide a servlet to access the images, which will load them from the jar file, using the ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream(). Requires declaration of a servlet in the web.xml file. Won't be as efficient as having the images on disk, but will keep them bundled in the jar file.
you would generate code such as <img src="myImgServlet?img=.....">

2. Here I can not change the data type of any column.
Now how to store images in the oracle table using odbc or any other tool.

I wrote an example for my students, you can find it here. It's using PHP as the front end but all you need to do is know how and leverage the stored procedures. All code is downloadable in zip files from the blog.

How to store image files in oracle DB

Hi,
I am new to working with database.
Please let me know how to store image files in Database using insert command.
Thanks,
Ramesh Yakkala.

Hi,
You need to create a directory object to import these files:
Take a look on the example below:
eg:
CREATE TABLE MY_IMAGE_TABLE (
ID NUMBER,
NAME VARCHAR2(20),
IMAGE BLOB);
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY IMAGES AS '/tmp';
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY IMAGES TO PUBLIC;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE load_file_to_my_table (p_file_name IN MY_IMAGE_TABLE.NAME%TYPE) AS
v_bfile BFILE;
v_blob BLOB;
BEGIN
INSERT INTO MY_IMAGE_TABLE (id, name, image)
VALUES (1, p_file_name, empty_blob())
RETURN doc INTO v_blob;
v_bfile := BFILENAME('IMAGES', p_file_name);
Dbms_Lob.Fileopen(v_bfile, Dbms_Lob.File_Readonly);
Dbms_Lob.Loadfromfile(v_blob, v_bfile, Dbms_Lob.Getlength(v_bfile));
Dbms_Lob.Fileclose(v_bfile);
COMMIT;
END;
SQL> execute load_file_to_my_table('myfhoto.jpg');Cheers

How t store images in database

hi
i want coding to store images,files in database

hi,
You can use the BLOB data type provided by oracle to store images in the database. BLOB (Binary Large Object). To Store data into the table, we need to use the DBMS_LOB package to manipulate the data and then store it in the table.
BFILE are used in combination with the BLOB to get the images into the database.
Thanks, VIkram

How I can display images as table data?

Dear project Marvel,
I would like to display images as one of table data, but I do not know how to easily store image data into tables using htmldb and whether I can display the stored images. Does anyone knows how I can store/display images using htmldb? If I cannot do this easily then displaying image (which is stored somewhere else but) just looks like one of columns also fine to me.
Thanks in advance,
Rui

you can show those images inline in your report region if you call our "p" procedure in an image tag. so the example above has you creating a table that you then join to the wwv_flow_files view with a query like...
select htf.anchor('p?n='||f.id, f.filename) name,
f.doc_size, f.mime_type, m.upload
from my_docs m, wwv_flow_files f
where m.filename = f.name
...clicking on the links in the first column would return a page that just showed the associated image. if changed that anchor tag to an image one like so...
select '<img src="p?n=' || f.id ||'>' the_image,
f.doc_size, f.mime_type, m.upload
from my_docs m, wwv_flow_files f
where m.filename = f.name
...your images would then appear inline as opposed to on a separate page.
[Edited by: rmattama on Sep 25, 2003 1:22 PM]
i'm not sure how, but i'd earlier posted an incomplete answer to rui's question. i've fixed some of the above and added this below...
just fixed the html above so it renders correctly in this forum. sorry i didn't see that earlier. also, i'm not sure where the rest of my post went, but rui had also wanted to know what the wwv_flow_files was. that's a view to the table we use to store uploaded BLOBs like images, css's, and stylesheets. since you can only identify one document table in your DAD configuration, we give you this view to allow you access to that doc table that HTML DB owns.
fyi,

How to insert image into table and to in Oracle 9i intermedia?

Mr Lawrence,
I want to ask something:
I use Oracle 9i intermedia
If i use this script:
CREATE TABLE images (
file_name VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL,
image ORDSYS.OrdImage
then
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY imgdir AS 'd:/data';
then
INSERT INTO images (file_name, image)
VALUES ('tree', ORDSYS.ORDImage.init('file','imgdir','tree.jpg' ));
I put tree.jpg in directory d:/data in my hard drive.
Is my tree.jpg file had already get in to my images table?
I'm little confuse, because when i check my table with this script:
select file_name, i.image.getWidth() from images i;
it's show that my i.image.getWidth() for file_name tree is empty.. that mean my tree.jpg doesn't get in to my table.. am i correct?
N also i want to ask how to display to screen all of my image from images table?
Is it posible Oracle 9i intermedia to support display image from table?
How?
thanks Mr Lawrence

-- First step would be to create a directory in oracle and map it to the folder where your image resides.
create directory image_dir as *'c:\image_dir';*
Then you would have to use a procedure to insert the image in your table. SO first create a table to hold the image. Note that you have to use a BLOB to insert the image.
CREATE TABLE test_image
ID NUMBER,
image_filename VARCHAR2(50),
image BLOB
Now let's write the procedure to insert the image in the table above.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE insert_image_file (p_id NUMBER, p_image_name IN VARCHAR2)
IS
src_file BFILE;
dst_file BLOB;
lgh_file BINARY_INTEGER;
BEGIN
src_file := BFILENAME ('image_DIR', p_image_name);
-- insert a NULL record to lock
INSERT INTO temp_image
(ID, image_name, image
VALUES (p_id, p_image_name, EMPTY_BLOB ()
RETURNING image
INTO dst_file;
-- lock record
SELECT image
INTO dst_file
FROM temp_image
WHERE ID = p_id AND image_name = p_image_name
FOR UPDATE;
-- open the file
DBMS_LOB.fileopen (src_file, DBMS_LOB.file_readonly);
-- determine length
lgh_file := DBMS_LOB.getlength (src_file);
-- read the file
DBMS_LOB.loadfromfile (dst_file, src_file, lgh_file);
-- update the blob field
UPDATE temp_image
SET image = dst_file
WHERE ID = p_id AND image_name = p_image_name;
-- close file
DBMS_LOB.fileclose (src_file);
END insert_image_file;
Now execute the procedure to insert the image.
EXECUTE insert_image_file(1,'test_image.jpg');

Snow Leopard (10.6.8) Web Browser, App Store, iTunes Store image won't finish loading.

Hello,
I've recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard by clean installing. Once I upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6.3) everything seemed to work perfectly except for the new keyboard that I purchased (requires upgrade to 10.6.8). So as I upgraded to 10.6.8 by "Software Update…".
Once the update was completed and the machine restarted I've noticed when I opened opened couple of common sites in Safari (such as: Flickr, YouTube, and Amazon) and some of the images won't finish loading with a "?" in the middle where the image would be and browser assumes that the site was done loading. First I thought this was a refresh problem so I hit refresh on the browser but nothing really happened. I thought this was strange so I decided to download Google Chrome and Firefox to try it out as well. Same situation as well… Then I opened the App Store and iTunes Store and the same things happened there as well. I'm assuming that all these images exists online so anything that access the web to load images will just crap out. One odd thing is that this problem don't seem to happen on any of the sites on Apple when I view it in the web browsers.
I couldn't figure out the reason so I decided to reinstall Snow Leopard (10.6.3) again by cleaning out the hard drives as before. Once it finished installing I opened up iTunes Store and Safari and the images loads fine. So went ahead (crossing my fingers) to "Software Updates…" to 10.6.8 and the the problem happened again.
I naively went ahead and tried to clean installing it again, thinking "Third time is the charm!" But same situation once I upgrade to 10.6.8. After the third time I let the browser sit there after it didn't load those images. I waited about five minutes and hit refresh and the images loaded. This happened the same with App Store and iTunes Store images as well. This is very odd because my interment connection hasn't been a changed before I upgraded to 10.6.8. Seems like browsers just cuts off the loading time of the whatever that's lagging instead on that site.
Is there a solution in the preferences for this or is this some kind of a bug that I'm having with my OS disc or network card? I don't think this has nothing to do with my modem or my interment service because it was working fine before I upgraded to 10.6.8.

I get that same problem too-you could try checking your network settings, release and renew your IP address, see if that helps. There is a tweaking menu you can get in Firefox that can help somewhat (google Firefox tweaks) but you'd have to raise the hood in FF and tinker a bit, but it does help. How much RAM do you have on your Mac Pro?, also update your Java and shockwave
sorry I can't be of more help

I have Nokia pc Suite installed, phone 6610i is connected by cable, when I click store images I get a window that says Image store has encountered a problem and needs to close, with the possibility to debug, send an error report or don't send, aal of wich do not help. After that the Nokia windows disappear. That never happened at the earlier version of pc suite. Please some one help, Alex.

I never found a solution with that specific pc suite s/w and phone s/w.
I just kept upgrading my phone and pc suite and now it works.
Sorry this isn't much of help.

How to read the data from excel file and store into the table?

Hi OraSuirya,
you can try with external tables .
syntax as follows
create table ext_table_csv (
i Number,
n Varchar2(20),
m Varchar2(20)
organization external (
type oracle_loader
default directory ext_dir
access parameters (
records delimited by newline
fields terminated by ','
missing field values are null
location ('file.csv')
reject limit unlimited;
For this you need to create directory
Directory Creation syntax:
create or replace directory ext_dir as 'D:\oracle\user_dir\ext_dir';
grant read, write on directory ext_dir to <User>;
please paste the excel file in the particular directory .
I hope this will help you.
Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere .
Thanks,
Tippu.

Pages 5.0 removing images from tables.

After upgrading to Pages 5.0 I now receive a message when opening any file with a table that has images in the cells. Basically Pages is removing all images from table cells. Anyone having this problem and is there an easy fix?

DrBrian, this is what I did to resolve this issue. I found out that we may still have Pages 09 installed on our systems! Go into Finder - Applications. If you have a folder titled iWork 09 click it and you may find Pages 09 there. Double click to open Pages version 09 where you will be able to open all of your files just as they should be.
I will not be using the new Pages upgrade. I have too much time invested in creating documents and templates for my business and I am not willing to re-learn a new package which has much less functionality. Hope this helps you.
