Hello, I am using developer 10.1.2.0.2

I have created a table to store the BLOB, which is jpg image originally. And I have uploaded those image into the database successfully.

Table name: images
img_id number
img blob

I know that I can set display one image each time if I create the image icon on the form using "data block wizard"

But the problem is that I cannot display multiple image on a form at the same time

Could anyone help??? Sad

Hi,

-- in a multi-record block you can display a picture
with Image-typ-Item for every row.

-- If you want show different pictures from different
tables, perhaps it is
a idea to make a new block for each picture.

Thanks for your reply


I would like to know what do you mean of "Image-typ-Item for every row."
Do I still need to create a new block for each image?
Since each image needs to get different row within the same table

One datablock set to display multiple rows.
The item which is mapped to your blob column should have its item type property set to image.

Hi,
I am a bit new to Oracle

do you mean setting "number of records displayed" in the property palette of the datablock to display multiple rows?
would you mind listing some steps for me?

I used to use the "where clause" under database in the property palette of the datablock to map the blob column
How can I map multi-image with single statement in this method?
or is there any other way to do it?

Many thanks

That is the step.

You've got an image stored in one column in table right?
And you've got different images in different rows in that table (but always the same column)?

In which case the where clause tells it which rows to get.
The column mapping is done by the item properties - the Database section, specifically Column Name.

To be honest if you're struggling with these bits I suggest you:
a) read up on the documentation
b) practice with normal data - varchars, dates, numbers etc
before moving on to images.

There are practice forms on the oracle web-site you can play with and you can install the scott schema in your db if you don't already have it to get some sample tables to play with.

thanks for your advice

in fact i can link the data block with a specific item to map the image
however, i want to know is that any way that i do not need to create a new block for each image to do the mapping

the interface is as following

Item1 Picture1
Item2 Picture2
Item3 Picture3
Item4 Picture4
Item5 Picture5

since the pictures are different, do i need to create 5 new datablock to handle them?

i may just find 3 records insert of 5

and display the remaining rows as usual?

let's say i have set 5 for the "number of records displayed" in the datablock's property palette
if the Query results only find 3 records match the condition,
2 of the image icon will be blank
so can i hide those 2 icons?

Forms don't really have concepts of pages - do mean a new form, canvas or something else?

regardless you can use a WHEN-MOUSE-CLICK trigger couple with various system parameters (look them up in form builder help) to work out what record you are in.

i still have a question about displaying multiple rows

is it possible for me to write a sql statement in
"where clause" under database in the property palette
to display duplicate records
i.e. display same record twice

i have written
(id=:id_1) OR (id=:id_2) OR (id=:id_3) OR (id=:id_4)
it won't display the record twice if :id_1 is the same as :id_4

No.

There is no form of where clause you can write that'd get duplicate records. The only way to get duplicates would be to issue a SELECT that access the table twice (table listed twice in the from clause) - which is difficult to do in forms - you'd have to base the block on view.

I really think you need to read up on basic SQL. At the end of the day forms just builds select statements when it executes a query and sends that select to the database. The form lets modify different bits of the select in various properties - mainly the where clause.
If you don't understand basic SQL you are going to struggle.
