I saw this post a few years ago and was wondering if anyone was able to get it to work. I am trying to pull images directly from a BLOB field stored in Oracle. Any help is much appreciated.
This was a similar post:
I have a problem I would like to run by y'all.
1) I create a Framework Manager project called "Channel Logos" and import one table called "Logos".
2) The table "Logos" has 5 attributes:
-ID (unique ID)
-Logo Name
-Logo Description
-File name (e.g. "HBO.jpg")
-Graphic (where "HBO.jpg" is stored as Blob datatype).
NB: Framework manager successfully detected the datatypes of all 5 attributes.
3) The "Data Type" property for GRAPHIC attribute is set to `BLOB`.
4) I set the "Display Type" property for GRAPHIC attribute to `Picture`.
5) I set the "Mime Type" property for GRAPHIC attribute to `jpg`.
I create a package called "LOGOS" and export it my server.
6) I launch Report Studio, select the package called "LOGOS" and create a basic list report by dragging/dropping the 5 columns from the "Logos" table onto my work area.
NB: the GRAPHIC column is rendered with the graphic icon.
7) I run the report: all columns are shown, expect GRAPHIC that is displayed with a RED cross (e.g. a picture that cannot be displayed on a web site).
NB: I tried changing the "Display Type" property to `value` and `link` but to no avail. Changing the "Mime Type" to "jpeg" was unsuccessful too.
Am I missing something or is not simply not feasible?
Hi
I've just been on FM training. The trainer mentioned that when using blobs, you have to use determinants. He didnt show us how, but i didnt see that in your list.
Hope it helps
