View BLOBs in dw CS3 ?

does Dreamweaver CS3 support binary images (also known as
BLOBs) stored in a database?
older versions didn't.
or do i need to store images externally in my website and
reference them with an image path stored in a text field?
even if i could view BLOBs i suspect that internal storage
could slow down the process of dispaying on a web page.
using php/mysql.

I think you just answered your own question.
Am I wrong?

  • Cannot view BLOB datatypes in Oracle10g

    After a successful upgrade from Oracle8i to Oracle10g, I cannot view tables with BLOB datatypes. I'm getting the following error in SQL*PLUS upon quering the table:
    SP2-0678: Column or attribute type can not be displayed by SQL*Plus
    When i try to do the same thing from TOAD, I'm getting this error instead:
    A Query with LOB's requires OC18 mode, but OC17 mode is used.
    I have also tried to create a new table with BLOB datatype (since i thought the culprit was a broken migrated data) but I got the same error. What am I missing here????

    Hy,
    you never could view blobs via sqlplus
    you only could use utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2 if there ist text inside your blobs.

  • Defining and Viewing BLOB Data in Oracle Application Express 3.2

    Hello All,
    There is a nice tutorial for working with images in Application Express 3.1 entitled "Defining and Viewing BLOB Data in Oracle Application Express 3.1". I have 3.2 and I am finding that I can't follow this tutorial... Is there any similar how to for 3.2?
    Thank you,
    Daniel

    Hi,
    I have just gone through the first steps in my OTN workspace app, and I do get the Implementation option (showing Interactive or Classic). In fact, my page at this point matches exactly the image shown in the tutorial.
    My OTN workspace app uses Apex version 3.2. The Interactive reports are relatively new, so older versions of Apex would not have this option. But you say that you are using version 3.2? If you just try to create a report page on, say, EMP, do you get the option to select Interactive or Classic?

  • Design View Problems in Dreamweaver CS3

    Hello folks,
    I've been having design view issues in Dreamweaver CS3 on my
    Windows XP 2002 SP2 computer. When placing library items in tables,
    the library item will disappear from design view, and sometimes
    columns or rows in disappear as well. The code remains unaffected
    and the pages appear okay in all browsers, but not having preview
    working correctly is definitely a disadvantage. Has anyone else
    experienced this problem and, if so, do you know of any fixes?
    Many thanks!
    Brooke

    This is nearly diagnostic for an improperly made Library
    item.
    Do your Library items contain <html>, <head>, or
    <body> tags? Do they
    contain CSS rules?
    If not, can you show us a page that is doing this for you?

  • Viewing BLOBS

    Hi,
    First of all, congratulations on an excellent product. I really hope to see it take off and occupy the place that it deserves. Now, a question for you. I downloaded the latest version (1.0.0.11.84) and the release notes say this:
    -Can now view BLOBs (click on the BLOB cell and click the [...])
    I have a table with blobs where we store PDF files (in the future, we hope to store some other document types). When I click on the [...] , there are two options: view as image and view as text. When I click on the first one, I get a "Image could not be decoded from the binary stream" message. If I choose the text option, I can see some text (similar to what I would get using the "strings" command in Unix). See:
    %PDF-1.4
    1 0 obj
    <<
    /Creator (Oracle9iAS Reports Services)
    /CreationDate (D:20041129114844)
    /ModDate (D:20041129114844)
    /Author (Oracle Reports)
    /Producer (Oracle PDF driver)
    /Title ()
    >>
    endobj
    5 0 obj
    <</Length 6 0 R
    /Filter [ASCII85Decode /FlateDecode]
    >>
    stream
    Is it possible to associate the contents of the blob to a specific viewer, in this case Adobe PDF viewer or say, if were a .jpg image, Internet Explorer or similar?
    Thanks!
    Gabriel

    There really isn't a good way to do this that I know of with out knowing the mime of the blob. Unless there's some equivalent of a unix file which could be run against a blob to find out what it is.
    There is a save/load button now when you click the ... This would allow you to save the lob and give it a name then you could open it.

  • How do I edit image viewer slideshow created in CS3, in CS4?

    I apologize for posting this twice...once in a previous post and once here. The reason being...the other post was old (2008) and I'm afraid it might get overlooked. So I thought I'd create a new discussion.
    I created a bunch  of slideshows in CS3 using Insert - Media - Image Viewer. I was looking  for an easy way for my client to update the site themselves. Even  though it creates a Flash element, it is easy for them to go in and  switch out the images. All they do is click on the slideshow box, hit  Window - Tag Inspector and click on the little folder at the side of the  Image URLs' line. Nothing could be simpler. Well...I went in to see my  client to show her how to do this but she has CS4. When I tried to do  the same thing, nothing looked the same. The tag inspector did not have  the same elements in it at all. Does this mean she cannot edit the  slideshows I have created? Ugh...
    If anyone can help  with a work around to this...I'd be very grateful!
    Thanks.
    Pam

    Thanks for your reply via e-mail David. I tried to reply but it's a no reply address so I'm posting here:
    Do you happen to know if my client who has CS4 would be able to open the slideshows I created in CS3 using the method mentioned here:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Bridge/3.0/WSCF044571-2772-4d28-9EBD-2C9F46AF008A.html
    Not having CS4, I can't even play around with it to see. Or will the slideshows have to be recreated in CS4? Has my work in CS3 over the months gone to waste in other words?
    Alternatively, would it be better for us both to purchase a $29 Dreamweaver extension such as the one below, so we could both access the slideshow from CS3 and CS4 at the same time?
    http://www.dwuser.com/flashslideshow/v3/
    I need to keep building the new site using the slideshows while she maintains the old site (no slideshows) until we upload the new site this summer. I don't want to continue building slideshows she cannot access.
    Thanks a lot for your help!

  • View BLOB content through Forms 6i URGENT... URGENT...

    I have a table which stores word documents as BLOB. My database is on UNIX machine and I access the database through a Citrix machine through Oracle Forms. My client wishes to open the word document in Forms which is stored in BLOB in the database. My database version is 9.2 which supports me to import and export files from file system to BLOB and vice versa using DBMS_BLOB and UTL_FILE packages. But, my only concern is regarding opening the word document through Forms 6i. Is that possible through OLE or any other means? I've tried all the sources. I know I can do it using Webutil, but it will not work for Forms 6i. Please help me in this regard. I have an urgent release tonight. Please. Please. Please. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

    I know that OLE can solve the problem. But issues is my word document is stored as BLOB in the database. My database is in UNIX. So, I can't export my files into UNIX and open them. I can't view them either from Forms. Please let me know if you have any alternative. Please can you guide me with step by step procedure as to how this can be done if we can do it using OLE.

  • Why can't I view RAW files in CS3

    I have installed CS3 on a new MacBook Pro. I am unable to edit/view RAW files from my Nikon D5000 Digital SLR.
    Can you tell me what I am doing incorrectly.

    You'll need to update to CS4 to get the updated Camera RAW plugin, or use the free DNG converter to convert your NEF files to DNG before processing with CS3.

    You can save the BLOB column with help of UTL_FILE and UTL_RAW as operating system file and then view that with some external software.

  • Viewing CS5 files on CS3

    I have CS3 installed on my computer - some of my coworkers are using CS5 and I am unable to even view files created with CS5.
    Is there something I'm doing wrong, or an update I can download to be able to view their files?  Do they have to save it in some compatibility mode?
    Thanks for any help.

    This forum is for suite specific issues only. I can only assume you're referring to InDesign. There is no way to open an InDesign file created in a newer version. While InDesign can export a file for backward use, it can only be done one version at a time. Along the way, text will reflow and any new features will be lost or badly mangled.
    This has been discussed to death in the InDesign forum. You'll need to upgrade if you want to work on these projects.

  • Viewing Design Mode in CS3

    Hi,
    I have just designed a website for a client. We agreed that
    she would be able to take all the files once completed so she could
    edit in her own Dreamweaver CS3. I personally - for my sins - am
    still using a very old version of Dreamweaver. I do this because
    it's just what i'm used to and feel comfortable with right now.
    The problem is that i have developed the site using php
    includes (for header, footer, navigation). Now, my client says she
    cannot view the site properly in Design Mode to edit the text, etc.
    So, i re-jig the site to include template files to make it easy to
    view the text to edit. However, she says she needs to be able to
    view the whole page (ie with headers, footers, navigation and
    editable text) as it would be viewed in real-time.
    Is it possible to do this in CS3?
    Thanks for any help.

    > Is it possible to do this in CS3?
    Of course, but perhaps not by your client.
    Personally, I would NEVER do what you have.
    To see PHP includes, the client would need to have both
    includes, and temp
    files enabled in the PREFERENCES, and they would need to have
    the site
    defined as a PHP site, and ideally, they would need to have a
    webserver and
    PHP installed.

  • Look for a tool to view BLOB value

    Hi all,
    Although I know that I can write a simple java program to view and insert values to BLOB field, I hope there could be a tool by which I can handle BLOB field easily and quickly. Can anybody recommend a tool or some SQL statement? Thank you in advance!
    Shirley

    try TOAD from quest software, that seems to handle CLOBS well enough!
