Storing documents into Oracle

Hi,
What is the apropriate field type for storing documents such as pdf and doc?
I suppose that these formats use xml for storing data so it's possible to se CLOB?
What do you think?

Peter

How do I get stored documents into iCloud?

How do I get documents stored on my MacBook into ICloud?

If that document has been created by an application that supports iCloud, open the document in that application, then use the "File" menu command "File > Move to". Select iCloud.

How to scan document into forms directly ?

hi all
how to scan any document into oracle developer form directly
(we are using forms 4.5 ..on win 98)

First I would suggest that you read the documentation about working with Active/X.
The online version is in the documentation section of Forms on OTN.
Then, you insert the scan.ocx into your form. you use the ole importer to create a pl/sql package to communicate with the ocx and you are ready to start calling methods such as scan etc...

Very urgent help needed- Error while passing XML document to Oracle stored

Hi !
I have been struggling a lot to call Oracle 9i stored procedure passing Stringbuilder object type from ASP.NET
I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional, OS: Windows XP and Oracle: 9.2.0.1.0
Following is the procedure:
CREATE or REPLACE PROCEDURE loadCompanyInfo (clobxml IN clob) IS
-- Declare a CLOB variable
ciXML clob;
BEGIN
-- Store the Purchase Order XML in the CLOB variable
ciXML := clobxml;
-- Insert the Purchase Order XML into an XMLType column
INSERT INTO companyinfotbl (companyinfo) VALUES (XMLTYPE(ciXML));
commit;
--Handle the exceptions
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
raise_application_error(-20101, 'Exception occurred in loadCompanyInfo procedure :'||SQLERRM);
END loadCompanyInfo ;
And following is the ASP.net code:
StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder();
b.Append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>");
b.Append("<item>");
b.Append("<price>500</price>");
b.Append("<description>some item</description>");
b.Append("<quantity>5</quantity>");
b.Append("</item>");
//Here you'll have the Xml as a string
string myXmlString1 = b.ToString();
//string result;
using (OracleConnection objConn = new OracleConnection("Data Source=testdb; User ID=testuser; Password=pwd1"))
OracleCommand objCmd = new OracleCommand();
objCmd.Connection = objConn;
objCmd.CommandText = "loadCompanyInfo";
objCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
//OracleParameter pmyXmlString1 = new OracleParameter("pmyXmlString1", new OracleString(myXmlString1));
objCmd.Parameters.Add("myXmlString1", OracleType.clob);
objCmd.Parameters.Add(myXmlString1).Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
//objCmd.Parameters.Add("result", OracleType.VarChar).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
try
objConn.Open();
objCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
catch (Exception ex)
Label1.Text = "Exception: {0}" + ex.ToString();
objConn.Close();
When I am trying to execute it, I am getting the following error:
Exception: {0}System.Data.OracleClient.OracleException: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'LOADCOMPANYINFO' ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: Statement ignored at System.Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection.CheckError(OciErrorHandle errorHandle, Int32 rc) at System.Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand.Execute(OciStatementHandle statementHandle, CommandBehavior behavior, Boolean needRowid, OciRowidDescriptor& rowidDescriptor, ArrayList& resultParameterOrdinals) at System.Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand.ExecuteNonQueryInternal(Boolean needRowid, OciRowidDescriptor& rowidDescriptor) at System.Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() at Default.Button1Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
I understand from this that the .net type is not the correct one, but I am not sure how to correct it. I could not find any proper example in any documentation that I came across. Most of the examples give information on how to read but not how to insert XML into Oracle table by calling Stored Procedure.
Can you please help me to solve this problem? I hope that you can help solve this.
Also, can you please give me an example of passing XML document XMLdocument to Oracle Stored procedure.
In both the cases, if you can provide the working code then it would be of great help.
Thanks,

Convert flat file to XML document and store into Oracle database

First:
I have a flatfile and created external table to read that file in Oracle
Now I want to create an XML document for each row and insert into Oracle database, I think that XMLtype.
Could you please provide me some information/steps.
Second:
Is there performance issues, because everyday I need to check that XML document stored in the database against the in coming file.
Thank You.

Oracle 11g R2 Sun Solaris
Flat file is | (pipe delimited), so I did create an EXTERNAL Table
row1     a|1|2|3|4
row2     b|2|3|4|5
row3     c|6|7|8|9
I want to store each record as XML document. So it will be easy to compare with next day's load and make insert or update.
The reason is:
     First day the file comes with 5 columns
     after some days, the file may carry on some additional columns more than 5
     In this case I do not want to alter table to capture those values, if I use XML than I can capture any number of columns, CORRECT!. Please make me correct If I am wrong.
     This is the only reason to try to use the XMLType (XML Document)
     On Everyday load we will be matching these XML documents and update it if there is any column's value changes
daily average load will be 10 millions and initial setup will be 60-80 millions
     Do I have anyother option to capture the new values without altering the table.
Please advise!.

Storing PDF and Word document in oracle database

any idea, how to store PDF and word document using oracle database.

The common approach is store as BLOB in database, use DBMS_LOB package to handle the loading and reading, sample script source asktom

Extracting Tiff files stored into Oracle 8.1.7 as Long Raw

I have around 1 million tiff images stored into Oracle 8.1.7. The field type is Long Raw. The frontend used to store images into the database is SQL Windows 5 from Gupta Corporation, now called Centura. I guess the images are stored in binary format in the database. I need to extract these images at the OS level. Each Rec_no contains one tiff file in database. The table structure is as follows:
Rec_no Number(8)
image Long Raw
My goal is to convert these tiff files to JPG files so that my web application written in ASP.Net can use them and show in IE. The files are required to be converted to jpg as IE does not have native support for showing the tiff files(I hope I am not wrong in this assumption). Can i convert these tiffs to jpg directly inside the oracle database??? or i need to extract them first, save at OS level, convert them and then write back to the database?? Pls give code examples if possible. I plan to migrate the database also from 8i to 10g shortly and this is one of the migration taks. Thanks in advance...

Storing JSON string into Oracle table

Hi,
What is appropriate way to store JSON string into Oracle table?
Regards
Peter

If JSON becomes more popular, ORACLE might write data cartridge extension for JSONDB (in the same way as XMLDB).
Till then CLOB and NCLOB is your best choice, and leave the parsing in your application layer.

Error while loading valid, schema-related document into xdb

Hi Mark.
I tried to load other xml documents (ftp://ftp.tigr.org/pub/data/a_thaliana/ath1/PSEUDOCHROMOSOMES/) into the xdb.
The documents are related to the same schema as the documents i used until now.
I had to change the schema a bit. Three elements (protein_sequence, cds_sequence, transcript_sequence) are now stored as CLOB instead of VARCHAR2.
My first idea was, that the new documents are not valid, but they are.
The old documents still work. I get an ORA-00600 everytime.
I tried to get some information from the trace file but this did not help really.
I don't believe this will help you but i post it anyway:

I have a new problem:
Due to the changes of the schema ( transcript_sequence ... stored as clob) i got an error in a view.
ORA-00932 : incosistent datatypes
The error occurs in V007 in the following rows
extractValue(value(tu),'/TU/TRANSCRIPT_SEQUENCE'),
extractValue(value(model),'/MODEL/CDS_SEQUENCE'),
extractValue(value(model),'/MODEL/PROTEIN_SEQUENCE')
But in V005 there is no error althought there is the row extractValue(value(tu),'/TU/TRANSCRIPT_SEQUENCE'),
the views
create or replace view V007_MODEL(FEAT_NAME,

I have a second question.
Usually I use WEBDAV or FTP to load the xml documents.
There are 5 documents for TIGR Arabidopsis. Now it works to load the documents into the xdb. I usually use WEBDAV. But when I load the first document I get an error. Nevertheless the document is shredded. Because the WEBDAV error message is not meaningful, I used PL/SQL.
I tried it like this
insert into TIGR values (xmltype(bfilename(USER,'/home/pdw_tigr_chromosome/data/CHR1.R5v01212004wos.xml'),nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')))
( I deleted the expressions " xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="tigrxml.xsd" " in the document before).
But this didn't work.
So I tried
insert into TIGR values (xmltype(xdbURIType('/home/pdw_tigr_chromosome/data/CHR1.R5v01212004wos.xml').getClob(),'tigrxml.xsd',1,1))
and it worked. But it seemed to need more time than per WEBDAV or FTP ( but probably I err ). It took 1h 48m for a 74MB file.
When I load the documents with PL/SQL the document is not shredded. At least the document has its original size when i have a look at the repository per WEBDAV and not the usual 0 bytes. But the data is correctly stored in the xmltype table TIGR

Inserting MS WORD DOC into Oracle

HI,
Can someone help me in storing word document from local hard disk(windows C:\UploadFolder) into Oracle Table.
I'm trying the following code:
to create a directory----
create or replace directory MY_FILES as 'C:\Uploadfolder'
table----
Create table emp1(
id number(10),
name varchar2(30),
details BLOB)
code for inserting----
declare
f_lob bfile;
b_lob blob;
begin
insert into emp1(id,name,details)
values ( 170353, 'JOHN',empty_blob() )
return details into b_lob;
f_lob := bfilename( 'MY_FILES', 'details1.doc' );
dbms_lob.fileopen(f_lob, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
dbms_lob.loadfromfile
( b_lob, f_lob, dbms_lob.getlength(f_lob) );
dbms_lob.fileclose(f_lob);
commit;
end;
The error I'm getting is----------
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed
No such file or directory
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 504
ORA-06512: at line 10
Please help me!!!!
Thanks,

Welcome to the forum!
create directory maps to a directory on the database server, not your local. You need to use a client application to upload documents to the database.

Problems while uploading text documents into Unicode Database

I just upgraded our database from 9iR1 to 9iR2 (9.2.0.1.0). The server
character set is AL32UTF8. Now I'm facing a problem when
uploading text documents into the database via a web frontend.
I use the upload table defined for the PL/SQL Database Access Descriptor:
create table TB_UPLOAD (
NAME VARCHAR2(256) not null,
MIME_TYPE VARCHAR2(128),
DOC_SIZE NUMBER,
DAD_CHARSET VARCHAR2(128),
LAST_UPDATED DATE,
CONTENT_TYPE VARCHAR2(128),
BLOB_CONTENT BLOB);
After uploading a text document containing the two words "hallo welt",
the following statement returns not "hallo welt", but "68616C6C6F2077656C74":
declare
b_loc blob;
v_amount integer := 100;
v_buffer varchar2(100);
v_offset integer := 1;
begin
select blob_content into b_loc from tb_upload where name like 'mydoc.txt';
dbms_lob.read(b_loc, v_amount, v_offset, v_buffer);
htp.prn(v_buffer);
end;
What is this? I studied the documentation, but didn't found a solution.
When trying to use Oracle's built-in procedure wpg_docload.download_file,
the content is shown the way it should be. Unfortunately, I can't use
wpg_docload.download_file in order to copy the BLOB content to another table.
Any hints would be appreciated!
Thanks so much in advance!

Hi Roman,
the upload uses a BLOB (Binary Lob). Your Document is
stored as is in the binary representation. If you
use dbms_lob.read on a blob and your buffer is a varchar2 the binary representation is not translated!!!
use a raw for the buffer and utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2
to do the conversion to varchar.
try this
Procedure SHOW_DOC(p_name doc_test.name%TYPE)
IS
v_len number;
v_mime_type tb_upload.mime_type%TYPE;
v_offset integer := 1;
v_Buf_size integer := 32767;
v_buf raw(32767);
v_blob blob;
v_Doc_name varchar2(1000);
BEGIN
v_doc_name := url_Decode(p_name);
select mime_type,doc_size,blob_content
into v_mime_Type,v_len,v_blob
from tb_upload
where name = v_doc_name;
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER(v_Mime_Type);
begin
LOOP
DBMS_LOB.READ(v_blob,v_buf_size,v_offset,v_buf);
HTP.PRN(UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(v_buf));
v_offset := v_offset + v_buf_size;
END LOOP;
exception
when no_data_found then
null;
end;
END;

How to insert document into xmltype column through an http post request with perl

Oracle 11.2.0.3
Windows server 2008r2
Apache tomcat 7.0
Oracle APEX 4.2.1
Oracle APEX Listener 2.0
I would like to insert a XML document into the database through an APEX restful web service. The POST into the web service in done with PERL. The following code will insert an empty record in a table with column of XMLType type.
Perl Code
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP:Headers;
my $headers = HTTP::Headers->new();
my $url = "http://host:port:apex/<application_workspace>/<restfull service module>/<uri template>/
my $sendthis = ('<?xml version="1.0" enconding="utf-8"?>
<students>
<row>
<name>Mark</name>
<age>30</age>
</row>
<./students>';)
$headers -> header('Content-Type' => 'text/xml; charset=utf-8');
my $request = HTTP:Request->new('POST', $url, $headers, $sendthis);
$request-> protocol('HTTP/1.1');
my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $response = $browser->request($request);
my $gotthis= $response->content();
my $the_file_data = $response->content();
APEX restful service
Method: POST
Source type: PL/SQL
MIME Types allowed: blank
require secure access: none
source:
{declare
doc varchar2(32000);
begin
insert into table <column name>
values(doc);
commit;
end;
Table code
{ create table <tablename>
(column name XMLType>);
The above code will insert an empty column into the table.
Any ideas why?

It's a really bad idea to assemble XML using strings and string concatenation in SQL or PL/SQL. First there is a 4K limit in SQL, and 32K limit in PL/SQL, which means you end up constructing the XML in chunks, adding uneccessary complications. 2nd you cannot confirm the XML is valid or well formed using external tools.
IMHO it makes much more sense to keep the XML content seperated from the SQL / PL/SQL code
When the XML can be stored a File System accessable from the database, The files can be loaded into the database using mechansims like BFILE.
In cases where the XML must be staged on a remote file system, the files can be loaded into the database using FTP or HTTP and in cases where this is not an option, SQLLDR.
