• Creating INDEX on a BLOB column in a separate tablespace

  Hello

  
  

  Our database contains 2 storage spaces :

  -Tablespace DATA : is reserved to hold the data.

  -Tablespace INDX: is reserved to hold the index.

  
  

  For some reason, that we must create the indexes on columns of type blob and the pending order are:

  SQL > CREATE INDEX my_index ON DOC_CONTENTS (doc_content) INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS. CONTEXT;  / / doc_content a blob type.

  SQL> index created
  

  Now, all indexes are created in the tablespace for DATA that is not good, they should be created in the tablespace INDX (now is empty)

  For this reason, and after a search, I specified the tablespace INDX , which will contain the index, and the used command is:
  

  SQL > CREATE INDEX my_index ON DOC_CONTENTS (doc_content) INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS. CONTEXT TABLESPACE INDX;

  *

  ERROR on line 1:

  ORA-29850: invalid option for creating domain index

  NB: also, when I try to use the same command with varchar column, it works.

  SQL > CREATE INDEX my_index ON DOC_CONTENTS (doc_name) TABLESPACE INDX;  / / doc_content a type VARCHAR2.

  SQL> index created

  
  

  Do you have an idea on how to create indexes on a blob column in a different tablespace?

  This question has nothing to do with the Oracle objects, but is related to Oracle Text, then perhaps that some moderator moves text objects.

  To specify a storage space for a ctxsys.context Oracle Text index domain index tables, you must create a storage preference, specify storage spaces in attributes of this preference, then use this preference in settings of creating index.  Please see the example below which shows first create domain index tables in the default users tablespace, then the creation of the field tables to be indexed in the example tablespace.

  I answered in your other thread and provided a link to the JDBC Dev Guide section, which explains how to work with type LOB and BFILE data.

  Have you read this article from doc?

  Did you read my response to your other thread?

  In java, a BLOB is just the index that gives you access to the content. In your case, you access by selecting a locator BLOB existing and getting his inputstream. This inputstream is what allows you to access the content real blob.

  The Locator is just that; It specifies the LOCATION of the blob content, but NOT the content.

• How to insert a BLOB column to a schema to another schema using proc of PL/SQL.

  Hello

  I want to know is there a simpler method to insert data of BLOB column in a table would like to insert into another table that is in a different schema.

  Table: TARGET (col1 number, varchar2 (100) col2, col3 BLOB) (SCHEME A)

  Table: SOURCE (col1 number, col2 varchar2 (100), col3 BLOB) (SCHEME B)

  I tried with the logic of following insertion.

  INSERT INTO < TAB2 > AS SELECT * FROM < TAB1 >;

• APEX - opening World document (and other files) stored in a blob column?

  Hello
  
  I have an application developed in Oracle Apex 3.2.1 and RDBMS Oracle 9.2.0.8 (SUN SOLARIS SPARC 64-BIT).
  
  I have a table called BAC_ARQUIVO, with the following structure:
  
  CREATE TABLE BAC_ARQUIVO
  (NAME VARCHAR2 (4000), / * name of the file stored in a BLOB column * /)
  TOPIC VARCHAR2 (4000), / * a brief presentation of this file stored * /.
  Identification NUMBER, / * an identification of this file - it s a PK of this table column * /.
  BLOB BLOB_CONTENT, / * Blob field to store different types of files - XLS, DOC, PPT, PDF, EXE, ZIP, etc.) ;
  Mime_type VARCHAR2 (4000) / * Identification whose file type is stored in BLOB field * /.
  )
  
  
  The field BLOB_CONTENT in this table can store:
  
  -Executable files;
  -MS-world Documents (DOC);
  -Zip Files (ZIP).
  -Ms-Excel (XLS) files;
  -Ms-Powerpoint files (PPT);
  -Adobe (PDF) documents.
  
  In fact, in this application, APEX, I developed an interactive report in which the user can download these files to the desktop without problem.
  
  But now, my user I would like to know if it s possible ask APEX can OPEN some of these files stored on this download of WITHOUT BLOB column.
  
  My user would like to see a hiperlink (or button) that, if you press on/accessed, can open a new page (or page within the application) with the document. Doesn´t need to edit this file oppened. He wants only to see.
  
  For example, if the file stored in the blob column is type ms word, so the application opens an MS-WINDOWS application with these files.
  
  Is this possible?
  
  In this forum, I saw this it possible s to open a file stored on the directory "/ i /", but I need to open the file stored in the BLOB column. I Don t want to store the file in the operating system of the server.
  
  Could someone show me how it could be done?

  Here I gave the format mask for APEX 4.0, which will be slightly different for 3.2.1 and proposed changes
  in the format of mask are:
  (1) mask format: DOWNLOAD
  (2) content-disposition: Inline

• compress the blob column to save space on the server

  Hi friends,

  I have a problem with the blob column, in the oracle 11.2.0.4 on aix Server database

  I have a table with a blob of column (containing a jpg file). This table is in a tablespace of 300 GB and storage space is full. There is no space on the server (asm).

  I need to load the jpg more in this table, but there is no space.

  I've read a few articles on tha compress blob type column, but I'm not sure what I should do.

  Is it possible to compress the blob column without going to a different tablespace (because the server has no more space to create a new one).

  The table and column have been created in a traditional way.

  Please, advice?

  Best regards

  Dbape.

  But this method requires add-on EA "Adv. Compression" ($$$).

  OP he wanted to compress .jpg files.

  BUDOKAI

  It is not possible.

  the .jpg files are already compressed.

  IIRC (of my Compression Adv. test) - SecureFile "knows best" and will not try to compress BLOBs identified as JPGs or any other known formats of files (such as .zip files)

  In other words - SecureFile is not the OP no good for the type of data, it is try to compress them.

  Are the only solutions that the OP has to enable it to store more JPG images

  • get rid of the old pictures
  • Add more disks
  • resize images (ordimage)
  • recompress the image by reducing the quality as long as the resulting image is unusable (ordimage)

• How to select the csv data stored in a BLOB column as if it were an external table?

  Hi all

  (Happy to be back after a while! )

  Currently I am working on a site where users should be able to load the data of csv (comma is the separator) of their client machines (APEX 3.2 application) in the Oracle 11.2.0.4.0 EE database.

  My problem is:

  I can't use an external table (for the first time in my life ) so I'm a little clueless what to do as the csv data is stored by the application of the APEX in a BLOB column, and I'm looking for an elegant way (at least SQL PL/SQL/maximization) to insert the data into the destination table (run validations by a MERGER would be the most effective way to do the job).

  I found a few examples, but I think they are too heavy and there could be a more elegant way in Oracle DB 11.2.

  Simple unit test:

  drop table CBC purge;

  drop table dst serving;

  create table src

  (myblob blob

  );

  create table dst

  (num number

  , varchar2 (6) str

  );

  Insert in src

  Select utl_raw.cast_to_raw (1; AAAAAA ;'|| Chr (10) |

  2; BATH; »

  )

  Double;

  Desired (of course) output based on the data in table SRC:

  SQL > select * DST;

  NUM STR

  ---------- ------

  1 ABDELKRIM

  2 BATH

  Does anybody know a solution for this?

  Any ideas/pointers/links/examples are welcome!

  Haha, wonder about regexp is like the blind leading the blind!

  However, it's my mistake: I forgot to put the starting position setting (so 1, 2, 3,... was in fact the starting position, not the nth occurrence. duh!)

  So, it should actually be:

  select x.*
  ,      regexp_substr(x.col1, '[^;]+', 1, 1)
  ,      regexp_substr(x.col1, '[^;]+', 1, 2)
  ,      regexp_substr(x.col1, '[^;]+', 1, 3)
  ,      regexp_substr(x.col1, '[^;]+', 1, 4)
  ,      regexp_substr(x.col1, '[^;]+', 1, 5)
  ,      regexp_substr(x.col1, '[^;]+', 1, 6)
  from  src
  ,      xmltable('/a/b'
                passing xmltype(''||replace(conv_to_clob(src.myblob), chr(10), '')||'')
                columns
                  col1 varchar2(100) path '.') x;
  

  Note: that's assuming that all the "columns" passed in the string won't be lame.

  If one of them might be null, then:

  select x.*
  ,      regexp_substr(ltrim(x.col1, ';'), '[^;]+', 1, 1)
  ,      regexp_substr(ltrim(x.col1, ';'), '[^;]+', 1, 2)
  ,      regexp_substr(ltrim(x.col1, ';'), '[^;]+', 1, 3)
  ,      regexp_substr(ltrim(x.col1, ';'), '[^;]+', 1, 4)
  ,      regexp_substr(ltrim(x.col1, ';'), '[^;]+', 1, 5)
  ,      regexp_substr(ltrim(x.col1, ';'), '[^;]+', 1, 6)
  from   src
  ,      xmltable('/a/b'
                passing xmltype(replace(';'||replace(conv_to_clob(src.myblob), chr(10), ';')||'', ';;', '; ;'))

• Classic report SQL with BLOB column not refreshing with jQuery Trigger Apexrefresh call

  Hello

  Really hoping that someone can help me, but for some reason that I try to report updated in dynamic Action to help:

  jQuery('#my-report').trigger('apexrefresh');

  on a simple SQL query report classic. I have used this many times on other parts of the report but the only difference with the report region where it is not refreshing, is that the table contains a BLOB column as it is essentially a report of downloaded files that users have made to the page by using the file browse.

  Would really appreciate help with that basically, I don't want to perform a full page refresh, because it currently operates.

  It has to do with the fact that this report is the question about a BLOB column, which is a link to the uploaded file?

  Thank you.

• Update a BLOB column

  Hello

  I have Oracle XE 11.2.0 loaded on a Windows Server.  It works very well.  I use Apex 4.1 on break as well.

  In a table, I have a column (LIST_FILE) that contains the name of a file and does not include the file extension.  Recently, I added a BLOB (LIST_PDF) column to this table.

  I would like to create SQL to update each row of this table by inserting PDF file into the blob.  For each row in the table, there is a file beginning with value in LIST_FILE and followed by a period and PDF (.) (PDF).  File1.PDF, File2, PDF, etc.  The windows directory that contains the PDF files can be moved anywhere on the windows server.

• How to make the image Inline source to read from database BLOB column?

  Dear all

  I have a database table that contains the BLOB column. And tif files in the BLOB column.

  Now, I want to display the value of the BLOB file in af:inlineFrame.

  I want to do this because I installed "AlternateTiff" on my browser to view tif files in the browser.

  You can download it from http://www.alternatiff.com/

  The inLine frame component has a property called 'Source '. The value of the "Source" property must be the location of the URI of the content you want to display in the example of frame.for online:

  now, I want to change this example to read the content of the BLOB column.

  IS this possible?

• Stored in the BLOB column display PDF problem

  Hello everyone.
  
  I tried to follow this tutorial http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0:p11_question_id:232814159006 on the display of PDF files stored in BLOB columns. This is done on Apex 4.2, with my DB 11 g running. I have my procedure, which I will post below:

  is
      l_lob    blob;

  end;
  

  I am trying to run this through a region dynamic PL/SQL, and even if I don't get any error, the content displayed is a huge mess of truncated text and strange characters. I tried to run this procedure on many other types of documents, including word and jpeg image files, all with the necessary changes in my inside, and regardless of what I use, I always get a big mess of strange characters. Does anyone have information or ideas why this is happening?

  If I understand correctly, your needs must be broken down into two problems:
  1) click the link that opens a window showing a new APEX page
  (2) an APEX page displays the document, download it not.

  I did not (yet) #1.
  However, you can generate a URL that points to the new page in the select for the report.

  It's a related issue, but no response yet:
  Open the pdf file in the browser window

  The key is to target = "_blank" to the anchor tag.
  To generate the URL, you must use the APEX_UTIL.prepare_URL () function.

  If this does not work, a dynamic Action that makes magical things of JavaScript may be necessary.

  # 2, I lost the URL that showed how to display a PDF file in a page "form.
  From what I remember:
  Start with a blank page with a pristine area of HTML (all items will in the HTML area)
  Add an element to the PK/annual
  part I forgot Create a Data Manipulation process
  -Automated row Fetch
  -By loading - after the header
  -(stuff for your table/view)
  part I forgot Create a (I think) "File browser" item type. For the parameters:
  -Storage of Type "BLOB column specified in the Source element" (and put the name of the BLOB column)
  -MIME Type column: (column name) - since there are several types, this is a MUST HAVE
  -Filename column: (column name) - I highly recommend you have this.
  -Provision of content is INLINE<-- this="" is="" the="">

  In addition, you will need a browser for each of the Types MIME Plugin (if not, the browser may try to "Download" the file)
  Browsers can manage the types of images internally. Plugin Adobe can handle PDF files. I do not know Word/Excel.
