Store Pictures in Oracle databases

Question

Please anybody can tell about that, how to store pictures or images in oracle database 9i.

Answer 1

To store pictures in your database you need a table with a BLOB column and one application in oracle forms or java to load them. This code is a web servlet to display photos in a web page:
package kas.web.interfases.metrics;
* GetFoto.java
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver;
public class GetFoto extends HttpServlet {
public GetFoto() {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException {
doPost(request, response);
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException
{   System.out.println("test");
try {
DriverManager.registerDriver(new OracleDriver());
catch(Exception exception) { }
try {
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@172.21.0.96:1521:PRESIDEN", "kas", "kas");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
if(conn != null) {
String cod = request.getParameter("cod");
if(cod == null)
cod = "2";
String sql = "SELECT emf_foto1 FROM pla_emf_empfoto WHERE emf_codemp=" + cod;
if(!cod.equals("")) {
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
try {
if(rset.next()) {   ////System.out.println("test2");
Blob ablob = rset.getBlob("emf_foto1");
response.setContentType("image/gif");
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
long bloblen = ablob.length();
int buffersize = (int)bloblen;
int bytesRead = 0;
byte b[] = new byte[buffersize];
InputStream is = ablob.getBinaryStream();
while((bytesRead = is.read(b)) != -1)
out.write(b, 0, bytesRead);
is.close();
response.flushBuffer();
finally {
rset.close();
conn.close();
catch(SQLException sqlexception) {
System.out.println(sqlexception.toString());
