Store MS word document in oracle9i as XML

hi,
I need to store Microsoft Word Documents in oracle 9i and I am thinking to store it as XML file. I am new to XML, can anybody give me some idea how to achieve this? More specificlly, how do I convert a word document to XML before I save it to the database and later how do I retrieve it and convert it back to word document or other format(such as .pdf document etc)?
Besides storing the word document as XML file, are there any other ways to store it in the oracle 9i database? Is oracle 9i internet file system or interMedia a good solution too? Anybody had experience with this?

Thanks, steven.
My application requires "storing lots of documents, each associated with a standard record in an application". Is
this the senario you have?
What is SCM/Designer? Could you point me to some reference on how to use them? You mentioned "synchronized with the File System and are held as BLOBS", does that mean the word document will be stored in both places, database as BLOB and file system as file? In my case, I only want to store in database.
I agree with you that "converting XML only adds another step in the process", but I am not sure about "probably vastly increasing the data to store!", my original thought is storing as XML instead of Word Document will save me a lot of storage space because XML is just text file, also the database retrieval will be faster. As I said I am totally new to XML, so I may be wrong.

Just use the report's CUID or ID for the iDocID parameter, and give all necessary users the appropriate rights to the inbox where the report is located.
repoType is a legacy parameter, this will have no effect.

Can i store a word document in icloud and retrieve on my ipad 2?

Can I store a windows word doc in my icloud and retrieve it on my ipad 2? how do I access icould on a windows pc?

This feature cannot be turned off. It is almost "Microsoft-ish" as far as I am concerned .... In the way that Word wants to turn every email address that you type in a document to blue. However, I change it in Word, but you can't turn it off on the iPad.
Thats just way the way the mail app and the notes app work with the iOS and it cannot be disabled.

How to store a word Document

Requirements:
1. The WD application should be such a way like applicants fill in the required fields and uploads their Resume.
How to store these Resumes ?
2. A report is listed where in the Applicants are shown. Upon clicking an applicant his uploaded Resume should get displayed.

Hi,
I guess you are showing the Applicants list in the form of TABLE right (NORMAL TABLE UI ELEMENT).
For the uploadresume column, create a fileupload UI element for that column as cell editor.
Then when the user clicks on this Upload link then user gives the file name to be uploaded and save it.
Check the wdr_test_table for TABLE CELL_EDITORS.

BUT: How to bring the document to the blob?
Hi user 611..
Warning: It is easy if you use an OLE-Object - but OLE is a special format. The result will not be the same as with dbms_LOB.
We have a application with documents stored via OLE - terrible!
OLE is no longer supported by forms 10. But webutil would help.
I asked a similar question and got a good answer:

How to merge multiple XML or Text documents into 1 Word Document?

Hi all,
We're looking for a way to merge multiple XML or Text documents into 1 Word document.
All the XML or Text documents are oriented as a 'Paragraph', meaning smaller pieces of text.
By selecting some of these XML documents, the system should be able to create a new Word document with all the selected text paragraphs included.
The Word document can then be edited for applying a correct lay-out and the document is ready.
Actually, we are trying to do some kind of 'mail merge' but with multiple XML or Text documents!
Has anybody an idea whether something exist already or give us a direction how to proceed?
Thanks in advance,
Pascal Decock

You use Assembler for this purpose.
1) Assembler can be accessed through LC Java API. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/enterpriseplatform/10.0/programLC/help/index.html
API Quick Starts (Code Examples) > Assembler Service API Quick Starts
2) Last week I posted on generating and merging PDF's from PostScript. Take a look at the assembly service instance in the .lca. Assembler uses DDX (Document Description XML) to describe document construction. NOTE the .lca was developed with ES 3 (aka ADEP). The .lca It contains the most basic DDX.

You can directly store the Word Document itself into the Database using BFILE concept.

Displaying Word Document from a Database

Let me try to explain this.
I can upload and store a Word Document in an Oracle database
(BLOB column) but now I need to extract that Word document and
place a pointer to it on the Web. Can someone explain to me how
this is done?
I'm trying to do something like have an image displayed on
the Web and when you click on it the Word Document is opened.
Follow me on that? So, if there are 15 Word documents in the
database, then the web page would have 15 images all pointing to
each separate Word document.
Has anyone done this?

Don't take my word on this, but I think this should work;
I've done this in the past to send dynamically-generated CSV files
to the user, which is in a way (at least at the perspective of
what's being outputted to the user) the same thing.
First, obviously, you need to retrieve the Word document data
from the database. We'll say you put that in a variable called
'wordDoc'.
<cfset wordDoc = someQuery.wordDataObj />
Next, we need to set the 'Content-disposition' HTTP header,
to tell the client's browser that we're sending a file, and that we
want you to call it somefile.doc by default. We'll do this with the
<cfheader> tag (note that if you use <cfflush> in the
application, this tag (and thus, this approach)
will not work.
<cfheader name="Content-disposition" value="attachment;
filename=somefile.doc" />
Almost there. Now we need to set the Content-type HTTP
header, to tell the browser what kind of data is coming, and then
give it the actual file data. We'll use the <cfcontent> tag
to do both of these things.
<cfcontent type="application/msword"
reset="yes">#wordDoc#</cfcontent><cfabort>
If memory serves, this should be all you need. Note the
<cfabort> after the closing <cfcontent> tag, I've had
problems in the past with additional output on the page after these
tags being appended to what gets sent to the browser, so I use a
<cfabort> afterwards to make sure nothing more gets sent
after the data we want. Also, at least with CFMX7, I've noticed
that debugging output tends to get added in too regardless, so I
typically put a <cfsetting showdebugoutput="false" /> at the
top of the file, too.
I can't guarantee this will work, I haven't tested this
particular situation, but if it doesn't, it ought to be close. Let
me know if I'm wrong.
Attached is what should be the code without my commentary /
rambling interspersed.

Then we manually opened up the document using word application and performed Save As to save as pure word doc with out the xml tags. then we send it as an attchement it then worked out. We need to automate this procedure of converting xml document to word document.
