Storing images in a table

Hi.... I want to store a set of pictures in a table and display the contents(pictures) of the table through a report pgm... How can i do so

You can store pictures and other static objects used in a BSP application in the MIME Repository.
The method SET_DISPLAY_MODE allows us to set the attributes of the picture on the screen.

Inserting images stored as BLOB in table to Oracle Report(10G)

We have some oracle reports(rdf) built in Oracle 10g. Now we are planning to update these reports to include images stored as pdf's on file system. We have loaded these pdf's as blob into tables. Is there a way to include these image/s into the reports.
Thx.

Easy answer: No, this is not possible. You can't show a PDF inside your report.
Since you are talking about just images, why do you even store these images as PDF? Why not as JPG or PNG (if you need best image-quality)?
Using a normal image in a report would be no problem at all.
Complex answer: Yes, this could be possible with an enormous effort.
You could write yourself a Java-Bean which reads the BLOB, uses something like "iText" to convert the PDF to a normal image, and then display this image.
I want to recommend to not use this solution since it introduces a really big complexity into you report where the usual solution of just storing images as images and not PDFs would give you a better result (and way better performance).

Displaying image from database table.

Hi All,
   I am very new to Web Dynpro ABAP.
I am developing an application to display an image in "Image" UI Element.
For this I have one table consisting of fields image id, image data and image name. here image id is primary key field.
Now i want to display an image from that table in "Image" UI Element. For this i am using "Filedown load" UI element.
But by using filedownload ui element i can diaplay image in another new page.
But my requirement is to display image in the same web page without creating a new one.
(I want to display the image in "Image" UI element without storing that image in MIME objects.)
Can anyone help me.
Thanks in Advance!
Regards,
Sreelakshmi.

What you describe is completely possible. Since you have the image data (XSTRING) in the context you have everything you need. You don't need to store the content into the MIME Repository, but you do need to get it somewhere where it has an externally accessible URL. Remember you need to supply image UI element with a URL. This URL is processed on the client side by the web browser. Therefore just giving it a path to the context won't work as that isn't externally accessible.
I would suggest instead that you place the image content into the ICM cache temporarily. This lets you basically generate a temporary URL for the image that can be used by the Image UI element.
Here is some example code that pushes images into the ICM Cache:
****Create the cached response object that we will insert our content into
DATA: cached_response TYPE REF TO if_http_response.
CREATE OBJECT cached_response
    TYPE
      cl_http_response
    EXPORTING
      add_c_msg        = 1.
   try. " ignore, if compression can not be switched on
      call method cached_response->set_compression
        exporting
          options = cached_response->co_compress_based_on_mime_type
        exceptions
          others = 1.
    catch cx_root.
endtry.
****set the data and the headers
DATA: l_app_type TYPE string.
DATA: l_xstring TYPE xstring.
      cached_response->set_data( me->gx_content ).
      l_app_type = me->gx_mimetype
cached_response->set_header_field( name = if_http_header_fields=>content_type
                                     value = l_app_type ).
****Set the Response Status
cached_response->set_status( code = 200 reason = 'OK' ).
****Set the Cache Timeout - 60 seconds - we only need this in the cache
****long enough to build the page and allow the Image on the Client to request it.
cached_response->server_cache_expire_rel( expires_rel = I_CACHE_TIMEOUT ).
****Create a unique URL for the object
DATA: guid TYPE guid_32.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUID_CREATE'
    IMPORTING
      ev_guid_32 = guid.
CONCATENATE i_path '/' guid '.' i_format INTO r_url.
****Cache the URL
cl_http_server=>server_cache_upload( url      = r_url
                                       response = cached_response ).

Displaying server stored images in an air application

Usually when I go about displaying server stored images in a regular flex application I go about it the following way:-
- Create a mysql database table on a server which contains image names
- Create a php file which generates all of the image namesfrom the table as xml and upload this file to the server
- Create a new flex application/project
- In the application make a http service which points to my php/xml file and turns this data into an array collection
- Set the array collection to the dataprovider of a tilelist component so that all of the images will eventually be displayed within it when they are created
- I set the itemrenderer of the tilelist to an image component which has it's source set to something like source="{'assets/images'+ data.imagename}" with imagename being the field containing the name of the image which is stored in the mysql database table.
- Make a folder in the app/project called assets/images which will contain all of the images
- Upload the app to the server and once it runs all the images will be displayed in the application
- Then any images that are uploaded to the server can also be displayed as long as their names are added to the mysql database
My question is though how do you get server stored images to display within an Air Application? My air app will be used on multiple machines but I want the images in it to be dynamic i.e. stored on a server and can be changed. How can this be done?

I'm struggling to figure out how to access the image files when the assets/images folder will be on a server and the app itself will be on the user's desktop whereas usually in the case of a regular flex app this wouldn't mater as both the app and the image files would be on the server together. Is what I'm trying to do possible i.e. displaying images on a desktop air app straight from a server?

How to read the stored images

hi
i have images in my table img,
i want to know how toretreive that stored image

i have images in my table img
> i want to know how toretreive that stored image
How to retrieve it depends on how it is stored? What is the data type? Is it perhaps a blob (large object in binary format)? If so check out the package dbms_lob and read Application Developer's Guide - Large Objects. If not connect to your database using sql plus to publish the data type for the image column from the command "describe img".

Blob Problem (storing Images)

AOA!
I am working as a developer in a companey. we made a database for HRMS. In this database there is a table EMPLOYEE with a column PICTURE of type BLOB. We were using oracle 8i initially but when we migrate to oracle 9i, we are facing a problem in image storing. The situation is, database showing ur previously stored images (those have stored in oracle 8i) but when we save a new image in that table or any other table it seams to be saved but cannot retrived. I mean when we issue a query
SELECT EMP_ID FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE PICTURE IS NOT NULL;
It shows the new inserted records too (thats shows us that picture has been inserted) but when we issue query from a forms6i application it didnt show any image. In case of report, when we try to query a record which newly inserted with image, it says some thing like REPORT IS UNABLE TO SHOW IMAGE FORMATE etc.
The situation is for all table and all schema which is indicating us may be it is some thing due to oracle 9i headen technique or due to miss managment by us. we dont have DBA in our companey.
Please help us in this regard. We will be thankfull to you.

I think that both your SQL is wrong and your intended use is wrong. According to the SQL reference, the following seems to be a simplified definition that seems to match what you're trying to do. UPDATE <table> SET <column> = <expr>. So PROPERTIES should be a <table> of some kind and X should be a <column> of that table. This changes your PreparedStatement to *"UPDATE PROPERTIES SET X = ? WHERE NAME = ?"* Then you can do ps.setBlob(1, b) and ps.setString(2, ...). Because your statement is DML you must do ps.executeUpdate(). So your code might look something like this.
Blob b = ...;
String x = ...;
ps = c.prepareStatement("UPDATE PROPERTIES SET X = ? WHERE NAME = ?");
ps.setBlob(1, b);
ps.setString(2, x);
int i = ps.executeUpdate();
The executeUpdate() returns the row count (i.e. number of rows) of your DML statement. Try that and see if it helps.

Importing Image in MDM Table

Hi All,
I am trying to import an Image in MDM table Images. I am using the below code.
ImageBlobRecord record = RecordFactory.createEmptyImageRecord(imageTable);
final byte[] demoPicture = { 0x10, 0x10 };
String filePath = "D:\\image.jpg";
record.setName(new StringValue("image.jpg"));
record.setOriginalName(new StringValue("image.jpg"));
record.setHasOriginal(new BooleanValue(false));
record.setDataLocationId(new GroupNodeId(filePath));
record.setDataGroupId(new GroupNodeId(1));
record.setBinary(new BinaryValue(demoPicture));
record.setWidth(new IntegerValue(400));
record.setHeight(new IntegerValue(300));
record.setIsVector(new BooleanValue(false));
record.setFormat(null);
Can any one tell me what should i pass for DataLocationId ? It would be great if you could explain with the help of an example.
Where is the image to be uploaded supposed to be stored? What path is supposed to be given for the image?
It would be really great if some one could help me with this.

Do you want to write images to an excel file or read images from a file?
Anyways, you can try OpenXLS Java Spreadsheet SDK.It supports both inserting images and extracting images from excel sheets.

The size of a XML document stored in a XMLType table

Is there a way to find out (via SQL) the size of a XML document stored in a XMLType table or XMLType column (storage OR based)?
For instance in the way you could it retrieve if the XML document was stored in an XMLType column (CLOB based)
SQL> r
1 select dbms_lob.getlength(t.gegevens.getclobval()) "SIZE"
2 from hgo.hgo010_detam t
3* where rownum < 2

Background image in a table not in the document

hello forum, i would like to put a background image in a table so that I am able to put things on top of the image and so it moves with the table. I can only figure out how to do it in the page properties so that it is static on the page. Can anyone please tell me if what I am trying to do is possible? thank you in advance. Jim.

Hi John,

What is the best way to implement default values stored in a DB table?

[JHeadstart 10.1.3 build 78]
[JDeveloper 10.1.3 SU4]
We are struggling on how to best implement default values that are stored in a DB table. What we have is a database table with (CODE_TYPE, TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, DEFAULT_VALUE) as columns. This way the application administrator can administer default values himself/herself. Now we need to find the best way to set these table supplied default values in new rows. Globally we are aware of two ways:
- override create() method on VO
- probably create a View Object on top of the database table with default values (we are capable of transposing the table and return exactly one row with a column for each default value) and use JHeadstarts item property 'Default Value'.
We prefer the latter, since this is more declarative, however we struggle with the EL expression needed to indicate the default value.
If we have a VO named "DefaultValues" with a SELECT on a view on top of our database table (transposed) returning exactly one row, let us say:
SELECT orglanguage, orgtype, orgstatus [...]
FROM v_default_values
--> returning exactly one row
and we want an EL expression on an item that needs the value from orglanguage. What will the EL expression be? Something like:
#{data.DefaultValuesPageDef.currentrow.orglanguage.inputValue}? We tried several things but they do not work. A static default value works, but every EL expression so far does not. We know that using "data" can be dangerous, but thought JHeadstart takes care of preparing the other Page Definitions, so it might be possible when you use JHeadstart.
Or is overriding the create() method the preferred way? Or do we have to look at a Managed Bean for our default values that we refer to from EL (let us say MyAppDefaultValuesBean) and in that case: how do you associate a Managed Bean with a VO?
Any help would be appreciated. Apart from these default values, things are going rather well in this first J2EE/JHS project for us!
Toine

Steven,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately whatever we try, we cannot get it to work. We started looking at the second option (since we do need default values also in table lay-out new rows). We created a DefaultValues ViewObject, added it to the Application Module, added an EL expressiona to the Default Display Value property (replacing your ending ")" with a "}" offcourse ;-)), ran the JAG so that a page definition was generated for DefaultValues and we managed to get it prepared when loading for example the Organisation's jspx page. However no default value appears in a new row (not in Form, not in Table layout).
I then created a quick application on top of the HR schema, added a DefaultValues ViewObject using one calculated attribute (set Salary fixed to 1000), added the EL expression to the Salary Default Display Value property in the Employees Group, made sure the DefaultValuesPageDef is prepared by adding it to the parameter section and I see it getting prepared. I also see a managed Bean is created in the Employees-bean.xml.
In the Embedded OC4J log we see:
16:01:01 DEBUG (JhsPageLifecycle) -executing onCreate
16:01:01 DEBUG (JhsPageLifecycle) -CreateEmployeesDefaultValues bean found, applying default values to new row
2006-08-02 16:01:01.825 WARNING [ADFc] Warning: No Method onCreateEmployees and no actionBinding CreateEmployees found.
Is it this warning we should be worried about? Since no default value is created.

We do not understand what is wrong and why the default values do not get created in the new rows (and it is taking us far too much time). Any chance the EL expression is still wrong? It is a shame that any syntax errors in EL expressions are not visible in some logfile. It looks like when EL expressions are wrong, they are ignored instead of raising an error...

How can I recover BFILE images from a table?

I`m a Spanish student, so excuse me for my poor english.
I have used LOB objects to insert images into some tables of a DataBase. However, I have tried to recover the inserted images to put those into a Developer 6 Form, and I haven4t done it.
?Have I need an specific procedure?
?Is There some option in Developer 6 to do it easily?
Please, help me.

If you have access to a PC I believe - if memory serves me correctly - that the free download SubRip can rip the highlight overlays back to graphics files from the Menu VOBs
There is a subtitle ripping program for Mac - D-Subtitler - which may do the same job but I have never found it to be as good at ripping stuff as SubRip.
I guess the only other way is if they are not too complex is to recreate the overlays in Photoshop using frame grabs for reference?

Inserting Images in a Table

When I insert images in a table and align them right, for
example, there are still a few pixels between the edge of the table
and the image on the top and right.
How do I make an image go to the absolute edge of a table?
Thanks,
Chris

By managing the table's default cellpadding and cellspacing.
Are you
setting them to zero?
If that's not happening then we would need to see your code.
