Uploading of image to the database?

Hi all, how do we bring up a File browser window on oracle form and upload a pic to the database?
Can someone show me how they will create a simple db to store image, and the file browser window method?

Here are a couple of links to information on storing files in an Oracle database. Hope they help.

How to upload files/images to the database from a form.

I'm making a custom user profile form.
The users can update their profile in this form.
I cannot use the standard profile form, because the customer got very specific
demands about the context of the profile form.
In this custom profile form the user must be able to upload an image
from their hard disk(just like in the standard profile form).
I've got the following questions about uploading pictures:
- How do I make a button to show the explorer window.
- how do I get the chooses file-name in a field.
- how do I get the new file in the database.
- how do I get rid of an old file in the database.
- how do I get the image on the form.
Or is there a special portal way to upload images/files in a form.
Does anyone have a clue?
regards
arny

Hi,
Regular Portal forms will support upload of images/documents to the database. Just identify your column as a blob, and the 'Browse' button will automatically show up in the form and the users will get to choose the file they want to upload from their desktop.
The thing is, I haven't been able to figure out how to get that document/image back out of the database (e.g. in a report), once it's put in. Maybe someone else can answer that.

Storing images inside the database

hi,
we are running oracle 9ir2 on Solaris and would like to know how to go about achiving the following:
would like to be able to read/write/create/delete bitmap image files in a file share on the same server as the database which would be stored in a table within our schema in the form <filename varchar2>,<image-file-contents blob>
Is this possible?! If so - any pointers in the right direction would be great!
thanks,
p

To some extent, this was covered a few days ago in the PL/SQL forum. There are some examples of uploading image files to blobs in the database here.
upload any file (like .DOC,.JDG) to oracle database?
If you want the images to be visible on a file system, you may want to use BFILE's, rather than BLOB's. BFILE's are essentially pointers in the database to file system objects, while BLOB's are stored completely in the database. The major disadvantages of BFILE's are that
- the file may be deleted or moved, leaving the Oracle BFILE pointing at nothing
- the file won't be backed up with the rest of the database
Going up a level of sophistication, you could store the images using interMedia. This gives you significantly more options for manipulating the images within the database.
Finally, you can use Oracle iFS (or whatever it's been renamed to today) to provide a file system interface to an Oracle database. This is the most robust of the options, but is also the most work to configure.

Is it better to store the image in the database or to use BFile

Hi all,
I've a doubt regarding the handling of the image. For example i've the images of the persons amounting to 50,000(the number will be increased in future). So i just want to know which is the better menthod. is it better to store all the images in the database or to store in local OS and use Bfile concept. I'm using Forms 6i and Forms 10g(10.1.2.0.2). OS: Windows XP

But the total number (i.e.., 50,000) is scaring me to use the BlobI don't think the database will cause problem just due to the amount of data stored in blobs. Of coure you would have to check which parameters to set for the blobs to make storage efficient. If
You didn't mention your db-version, in 11G you could also think of using compression and deduplication to deal with the data amount.
In general i agree with Francois, the best way depends, but in terms of data consistency and easy backup/restore there might be some advantages in using the blob-version.
hope this helps.

How do i store and fetch image from the Database(Access)

I would like to suggest different approach for saving the images in the database.
I was working on Medical Imaging Company. The way we save the images in real-time was by writing the name and path of the images to database.
The images themselves where saved directly to disk.
I don�t think that access is very good in taking care of GBytes of data.
It happens some time that the database gets damage. If you have the images separately you can create fix procedure. (We had one).
Good Lack,

Can BI Publisher read the images from the Database?

Hi All,
Can BI Publisher read the images from the Database?
if yes how it can be achieved?
Thanks
Aravind

Hi,
There is an example in oracle db. Use the schema PM (Print Media).
Select the corresponding table that contains the column AD_PHOTO.
In your RTF template simply to print the image stored in the db use:
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/jpg"> <xsl:value-of select="AD_PHOTO"/>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
RUn the RTF template and it should show you all.
Cheers
Jorge

Loading an Image from the database and display it on browser

I do not know if this is even possible.
At the moment, to load an image inside an Html page you need to use the <img src=""> tag. and in the src you put the path of the image. Now I would like to save an image inside the database.
An option to still display the image on the browser would be that my service object, would load the object from the database (saved as blob) then save it somewhere on the Server, and the still use the <img> tag to load the image from that location.
However I was wondering wheather there is another way to do it without saving this image on the server. that is loading the bytes from the database (or a location on the server) and provided these bytes to the jsp page to display the image.
Is this possible? or?
regards,
sim085

hmm ... ok .. that sounds good .. but that means that
a servlet must exsist at all time to display the
required image.Servlets are usually instantiated by the servlet container upon an incoming request.

Display Image from the database but prevent it from refreshing on every pages

Hi there,
I can see there are many discussions around this but my query is slightly different. I'm writing this on behalf of one of my developers. (sorry for my ignorance on techie stuff.. :-))
A logo is being displayed on a few pages, which is called from the database. However, the problem is that - this logo refreshes every time when you traverse to each page causing a performance issue or sometimes slow loading of the image.
My question is - how do we stop it from loading on each page from the database?. I would rather load once when the main page loads initially and then maintain this on other pages too.
We can keep this logo on a file system (FS) and display it via CSS/HTML/frame but since we want to keep it flexible/dynamic where a user can upload a new one whenever it changes and hence DB seems to be the suitable option (in my opinion).
Can someone please help?
If you need any further info around the coding how it is being done at present, pls let me know.
Thank you

read this http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28393/adlob_tables.htm#g1017777
you can cache lobs in the database too
you can also upload the pic in your file system using utl_file package and then put the image in the working directory mentioned in i.war
you can then reference the image and it will not be stored in the database and will be cached

Puttin Images Into the Database

I am designing an artists painting archive.
I have been able to introduce non-database images into a part of the template, utilizing HTML . GREAT!! ---- BUT, I'm not really understanding how to database the images themselves. I think I have the relevant code/instructions below.
Could anybody help me "see" these instructions (below) a little better? I think I'm missing something. My confusion starts with the table -- what exactly should it look like?
Thanks,
Osunga

First (make sure that you are logged in as the ADMIN for the ApEx Schema)
Create the table and indexes
create table TS_IMAGES (
IMAGE_ID number not null,
NAME varchar2(200) not null,
FILENAME varchar2(200),
MIME_TYPE varchar2(255),
DOC_SIZE number,
CREATED_BY varchar2(255),
CREATED_ON date,
CONTENT_TYPE varchar2(128),
BLOB_CONTENT blob null
create unique index UK_TS_IMAGE_ID on TS_IMAGES( IMAGE_ID )
create unique index UK_TS_IMAGE_NAME on TS_IMAGES( NAME )
--Now create the display procedure
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ts_image_display (p_id IN NUMBER)
AS
l_mime VARCHAR2 (255);
l_length NUMBER;
l_file_name VARCHAR2 (200);
l_blob BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT MIME_TYPE, BLOB_CONTENT, NAME, DBMS_LOB.getlength (BLOB_CONTENT)
INTO l_mime, l_blob, l_file_name, l_length
FROM TS_IMAGES
WHERE IMAGE_ID = p_id;
OWA_UTIL.mime_header (NVL (l_mime, 'application/octet'), FALSE);
HTP.p ('Content-length: ' || l_length);
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file (l_blob);
END ts_image_display;
--DON'T forget this!!!!
GRANT EXECUTE ON ts_image_display to PUBLIC;
Next create your page and region with a FILE BROWSE item and UPLOAD button. Have the UPLOAD button trigger this PL/SQL procedure
(I threw in a few of my own fields as well)
declare
i NUMBER;
begin
--copy the image from wwv_flow_files to ts_cab_card_img
insert into TS_IMAGES (
IMAGE_ID, NAME, FILENAME, MIME_TYPE, DOC_SIZE, CREATED_BY,
CREATED_ON, CONTENT_TYPE, BLOB_CONTENT)
select ID, NAME, FILENAME, MIME_TYPE, DOC_SIZE, CREATED_BY,
CREATED_ON, CONTENT_TYPE, BLOB_CONTENT
from wwv_flow_files
where NAME = :P10_NAME;
--get the ID for the corrollary table
select IMAGE_ID into i
from TS_IMAGES
where NAME = :P10_NAME;
--add corrollary data to secondary table
insert into TS_CAB_CARD_DATA (IMAGE_ID, VIN, LICENSE, LICENSE_ST, LICENSE_EXPIRE,
VEH_YEAR, VEH_MAKE, VEH_MODEL, TS_ID, GVW, OVERLENGTH_PERMIT)
values (i, :P10_VIN, :P10_LICENSE, :P10_STATE, to_date(:P10_LICENSE_EXP, 'MM/DD/YYYY'),
:P10_V_YR, :P10_V_MAKE, :P10_V_MODEL, :P10_TS_V_ID, :P10_GVW, :P10_PERMIT);
--delete the original
delete from wwv_flow_files
where NAME = :P10_NAME;
end;
Mine takes additional fields and adds the data to a corrollary table linked by ID. This allows me to customize the type of extra data I store independent of the image. Also note that the variable names will change according to your application.
Now create another page with a report region. Here's a query to display the report:
select IMAGE_ID from TS_IMAGES
Now edit the field in the REPORT and put the following code in as the HTML Expression
[img src="#OWNER#.ts_image_display?p_id=#IMAGE_ID#" /]
(replace the brackets with the standard lt/gt
Voila! It works!

Hi peter,
Thanks for the detailed explanation, i have got an link for doing it and this is that
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_easy_html_db_file_browse_item.htm
While referring that link i couldnt able to understand one thing peter, that is

Please give me some guidelines to solve this problem....

Reference images outside the database

Hi,
I tried to return html content from a pl/sql procedure but the images referenced were missing. Attached please see the part of the coding in the pl/sql procedure. Everything worked except the images. When I specified something like <img src="" />, the image would come up. Whenever I included an inline (or external) stylesheet in the pl/sql procedure, the images were not picked up.
Thanks.

Please help to load image in the database

Hi to all. ....
I need to save image file in the database thru forms ...
I have some image file in the application server and I need to load it in the database in a Blob col..
Any help ... ??
Thank's in advance

Hi!
Your forms version is very important.
If you use forms 10g and you want to load the image on the client, you need webutil.
If you use forms 6 or you want to load the image from the application server to
a image item in your form, you can use the read_image_file forms build-in:
read_image_file ( 'x:\path\image.jpg.', 'JPG', 'block.image_item' );On forms 10g this will be executed on the server and the filename and path has to be
a physical place on your servers harddisk.
The image item has to be an item of type image and must be assinged to a blob colum in your table.
Regards
