Storing image files (.gif) into database from sql plus

dear all
I have to store image files into a table with BLOB attribute.
What will be the insert command to insert a .gif file into the database.
thanks.

You can use DBMS_LOB.LoadFromFile, I assume you would load these as a BLOB.
The documentation can be found on technet at

An alternative would be to use java to read the file from the file system, and serve it up as a CLOB or BLOB, and INSERT it into the database from there.
Good Luck,

Insert data file name into table from sql loader

Hi All,
I have a requirement to insert the data file name dynamically into table using sql loader.
Example:
sqlldr userid=username/passwword@host_string control=test_ctl.ctl data=test_data.dat
test_ctl.ctl
LOAD DATA
FILED TERMINATED BY ','
INTO TABLE test
(empid number,
ename varchar2(20),
file_name varchar2(20) ---------- This should be the data file name which can be dynamic (coming from parameter)
test_data.dat
1,test
2,hello
3,world
4,end
Please help..
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Anuj

you'll probably have to write your control file on the fly, using a .bat or .sh file
rem ===== file : test.bat ========
rem
rem ============== in pseudo speak =============
rem
rem
echo LOAD DATA > test.ctl
echo FILED TERMINATED BY ',' >> test.ctl
echo INTO TABLE test >> test.ctl
echo (empid number, >> test.ctl
echo ename varchar2(20), >> test.ctl
echo file_name constant %1% >> test.ctl
echo ) >> test.ctl
rem
rem
rem
sqlldr userid=username/passwword@host_string control=test.ctl data=test_data.dat
rem =============== end of file test.bat =======================

How I can store Image file in a database

Can any one how i can stored image file in a database and then by using same database how i can show in HTML page...(in a browser)

This is not something that can be answered easily. There is quite alot of code involved....
To get started I suggest you read up on the built-in package 'DBMS_LOB' from Oracle . Most of what you need you should find there.

How to execute procedure returning data rows from sql plus

Hi,
I want to execute a stored procedure that returns data rows from sql plus. please let me know the syntax for the same.
Thanks,
YG

user13065317 wrote:
Even if i get the result set into the cursor, do i have to do normal fetch into all the coumn variables within a loop
But suppose no of columns in my result set varies depending on a parameter to the stored procedure.
Is there any straightforward way to retrieve all the data irrespective of no of columns in the result set.There is no such thing as a "+result set+". Oracle does not create a temporary data set in memory that contains the results of your query. What would happen if this result set is a million rows and is too large to fit into memory? Or there are a 100 clients each with a 100,000 row result set?
This is not scalable. You will be severely limited in the number and sizes of these "+result sets+" that can be created in server memory.
A cursor is in fact a "program" that is created by compiling the SQL source code that you provide. This source code is parsed and compiled into what Oracle calls an execution plan. This is nothing but a series of instructions that the cursor will execute in order to return the rows required.
Thus the result set is actually the output from a cursor (a program). Likewise, bind variables are the input parameters to this program.
All SQLs are parsed and compiled as cursors and stored in the SQL Shared Pool. Oracle gives you handle in return to use to address this cursor - bind values to it, execute it, describe the output structure returned by the cursor, and fetch the output from the cursor.
On the client side, this handle is used in different ways. In PL/SQL alone, this cursor handle can be used as an implicit cursor (you do not even see or use the cursor handle in your PL/SQL code). Or you can use a PL/SQL cursor variable. Or a DBMS_SQL cursor variable. Or a reference cursor variable.
Why so many different client structures for the very same SQL cursor handle returned by Oracle? Because to allow you, the programmer, all kinds of different features and flexibility.
The ref cursor feature is the ability to pass this cursor handle around, not only between PL/SQL code, but also from PL/SQL to the actual client process (Java. VB, SQL*Plus, TOAD, etc).
The primary thing to remember - irrespective of what the client calls this (e.g. ref cursor, SQL statement handle, etc), this all refers to the same SQL cursor in the Shared Pool. And that this SQL cursor is a program that outputs data, and not a result set in itself.

Script having Chinese characters throws error when run from SQL PLUS

Dear All,
I have a script file(.sql) which contains Chinese characters ....
I have saved the file in unicode Format.
When I run this file using @D:\filename from SQL PLUS it throws an error "unknown Command at line 1"...
My database is Oracle 10g...
Can anyone suggest anything???
Thanks In Advance
Dev
Edited by: Devarsh on Oct 21, 2009 8:16 AM

I think you may need to set your local NLS_LANG setting for your client (SQL*Plus) to recognize the characters.
You may also consider posting your question on the Globalization forum which pertains more to these types of questions.

Importing Database from SQL Server into Oracle 8i

Hello Friends,
Cuurentlly we are using SQL Server as our application database, Now we want to switch on at Oracle 8i,bcz of some problems,
If anybody had done so,then please help me in solving this problem,
I wana Import whole database from SQL server to Oracle
Lot of thanks

Hi,
Use the SQL Server Enterprise Manager to export all the tables from SQL to oralce.
When selecting the target database use the Oracle native driver (the name is not on top of my head) and not the ODBC one.
You will have problems with datatypes. Make sure to edit the mappings for the proper datatype if required.
If you have ntext columns, make sure they are translated to CLOB and not long.

Seek help to format spool file from SQL*PLUS

I am running a Unix shell script to call a Oracle 11g SQL script from a Oracle database. In this SQL script, I need to connect to many different remote databases to select data, then sool these records as one big text file to a directory. Then email the file to related Group users. In the spool file, there is a line on the top of each page like this:
DUMMY
DB_NAME
I know this is caused by connect to remote database in SQL*PLUS. My connection string is like this:
Conn system/password@Oracle_SID
How can I remove these lines or how to skip these lines into spool file? Please advise. Thanks in advnce. Wish all of you Happy New Year!!!

Hi,
It sounds like you have some kind of formatting (such as SQL*Plus TTITLE) producing the output you don't want. If that's the case, temporarily stopping the spooling might not help you. Find out what is causing the output that you don't want. You say that you know it is caused by the CONNECT statements, but it must be more than that. I've written scripts with CONNECT statements that don't have anything like what you reported at the top of each page; in fact, they don't even have pages: the output is one continuous stream. Find out what's putting the unwanted output there, and that will be a big clue as to how you can stop it.
You say that you know the unwanted titles are there because of the CONNECT statements. If so, use database links instead of CONNECT. You don't have to use dbms_scheduler or utl_file; just eliminate the CONNECT statements. (I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with dbms_scheduler or utl_file; you should definitely investigate those tools. I'm just saying that using database links is independent of them.)
What would happen if you did all your connecting to different databases at the OS level? Can you write a shell script that connects to each database in turn, and runs a SQL*Plus script in each one. Each SQL*Plus script would have a SPOOL or SPOOL ... APPEND command, or maybe you could build the SPOOL into a LOGIN.SQL script.

Is there some way to import image files directly into an open document?

Is there some way of importing a series of image files, say jpegs, directly into an open document, rather than having to open all the image files and having to drag and drop each individual one into the open document? Specifically, I'm a dentist and I often get digital xray images emailed to me from other offices. But they come as 16 or 18 individual image files and I have to put them into a virtual "xray mount", so I can view them all at once, rather than having to open all the images and toggle among them. So I open a blank document in PS (CS4), then I navigate to the folder containing all the image files I received, select all of them and open them all. Back in PS, I now have to select each image tab and drag the image into the blank "mount" and close the image. That new image then becomes its own layer in the "mount" document. But I have to repeat this 18 times for each patient! I was thinking if there was a way to open the new "mount" document then select all the image files and somehow "import" all the image files directly into document - essentially "automate" the process - that'd save me BOATLOADS of time and aggravation! Anyone out there have any suggestions? Thanks alot!! Dr. G.

Thanks, Curt! When u say "animate" do u mean File | Automate...? Inside Automate, I can't find "Make Frames from Layers"...if you do mean "Animate" I can't find that menu. Zeno replied with a BRILLIANT clarification:
<<Yes, but after you've got all your images as layers in a new document you can simply Select->All Layers and then drag them all to your document in one fell swoop.>>
I tried that and it works like a charm! I select all 20 layers in the new document that "stacking" creates and just drag them all onto the virtual "mount" document. That's it! Then I just move each of these layers around as I would otherwise...it's just 1 click and 1 drag/drop. Unless someone comes up with a way to actually "import" all the images directly into the "mount" document, I think this appears to be the most efficient route to follow.
I really appreciate your guys' assistance! It's so great that you guys monitor the forum and help us out with our Photoshop problems! What an awesome program it is, right?
Thx again!

File- Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13

File->Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13.
I downloaded sqldeveloper-1.2.1.3213.ZIP and extract to a local directory. From the extracted directory I ran ..\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper.exe from Windows XP sp2. The program itself seems to run just fine but File-Print doesn't do anything. In Help-About, Java Platform is reported as 1.5.0_06 and Oracle IDE is 1.2.1.3213. I'm not sure where to look for what is causing the problem.
Thanks

I hadn't tried CTRL-P before but I did today. On the first attempt, I saw a small jump in the memory usage for sqldeveloper.exe as reported in Windows Task Manager. Otherwise, there was no change. A second CTRL-P in the same session produced a further bump but subsequent attempts in the same session produced no further change in CPU or Memory Usage.
Using Task Manager to monitor this further, I tried File->Print again and saw that sqldeveloper would periodically climb to 1 or 2 percent CPU and consume a little more memory. After a minute or so, though, all activity stops again.
I do not get a print dialog box from SQLDeveloper using either CTRL-P or File->Print
