If you use Oracle 9i and Apache with DAD, it was very simple.
1. Create an upload table. Its structure would like
CREATE TABLE upload_table
(name VARCHAR2(128) NOT NULL,
mime_type VARCHAR2(128),
doc_size NUMBER,
dad_charset VARCHAR2(128),
last_updated DATE,
content_type VARCHAR2(128),
content LONG RAW,
blob_content BLOB);
2. Configure DAD. (file name is dad.conf or wdbsvr.app, the name depends on your DAD version)
For example, in wdbsvr.app, we should configure these two parameters
document_table = nemo.upload_table ;upload table name
upload_as_long_raw = xml ; xml file will be stored into LONG RAW field, others will be stored into BLOB
3. Create an upload procedure.
PROCEDURE testuploadfile(filename varchar2)
as
begin
HTP.htmlopen;
HTP.headopen;
HTP.title('Test Upload status');
--read data from upload_table (add your own codes)
--select fname, blob_content, content from upload_table where name=filename;
htp.print('Uploaded successfully, file name:'||fname);
htp.bodyclose;
htp.htmlclose;
exception
when others then
htp.print('Upload Error:'||sqlerrm);
htp.bodyclose;
htp.htmlclose;
end;
4. Create an upload page for testing purpose
create or replace procedure testuploadpage
as
begin
HTP.htmlopen;
HTP.headopen;
HTP.title('Test Upload');
HTP.headclose;
HTP.bodyopen;
HTP.header(1, 'Test Upload');
HTP.print('&ltform enctype="multipart/form-data" action="testuploadfile" method="post"&rt');
HTP.print(' File to upload: &ltinput type="file" name="filename"&rt&ltbr /&rt');
HTP.print(' &ltinput type="submit" value="Upload"&rt');
HTP.print('&lt/form&rt');
HTP.bodyclose;
HTP.htmlclose;
end;
