Application Express :: Link Local File With Browse File Dialog
Aug 15, 2012
I'm looking for a solution to hyperlink to a local file (i.e. C:/test.txt). I want that the user clicks on a "browse file" button like the file browse item. after the user selected a file or just a folder the path should be shown in a display only item. this item should be clickable...
Is it possible to create a "Browse file" dialog? I know that to link to a file is possible with some HTML tags in the "pre element text" and "post element text" fields. something like "<a href="... but I don't know how this works.
I would like to ask if is possible to translate the "Browse..." button of File Browse item.
For me it seems that the button cannot be translated to a different language. I have tried to export the XLIFF and there is no string like "Browse...", also I have tried to edit it manually in translation repository, but the string is not present here.
I am using Oracle APEX 4.0. I want to create a tabular form with one column as File Browse field.I've created form using APEX_ITEM and file browse item using pure HTML tags as we do not have any such item in APEX_ITEM. So these fields are appearing now but how do I save uploaded files in APEX_APPLICATION_FILES and then in my table?
where the js expression is making sure I run the correct dynamic action, particularly when I have a few buttons on the page invoking different variations of the modal dialog.
My first action is some javascript that interrogates the value of this.data.modalPageCloseValue this facilitates me make decisions in later actions on whether to run some pl/sql, for instance.
potential APEX bug (Display item with HTML affected by dynamic action and since we can't put conditions on actions - I was wondering if I could incorporate something into my dynamic action condition to stop the entire dynamic action from executing if modalPageCloseValue is null - but it seems to be out of scope?
During a duplicate process to a new database name, rman crashed after the restore but before the switch datafile all.So now, we have under ASM the data files under the correct (new) diskgroup but v$datafile contains the previous names (and so diskgroup) and v$datafile_header is empty. RMAN is completly lost, our solution is to manually rename each file under SQL*Plus using ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE. Unfortunately, we are using or migrating to OMF, so file names are meaningless and we are unable to associate ASM files with database files.
Any way (query or anything else) to associate the ASM files to the database files. Here's an abstract of what we have for one (small) tablespace:
ASMCMD [+ORAXQG1_L136_DG1/ORAXPG1/DATAFILE] > ls -l N47CAW* Type Redund Striped Time Sys Name DATAFILE UNPROT COARSE NOV. 12 10:00:00 Y N47CAW1.276.799152039 DATAFILE UNPROT COARSE NOV. 12 10:00:00 Y N47CAW1.318.799151641 SQL> select file#, name from v$datafile where ts#=17 2 / [code]...
I am trying to use client_get_file_name to display the select file dialog box. My problem is that I can get the dialog box to open but it does not default to the folder that I specify in the client_get_file_name parameter (r_system_data.import_dir points to c:
eports). v_filename := client_get_file_name(r_system_data.import_dir, null, 'CSV Files (*.csv)|*.csv|', 'Select a file to import travel details from');
The strange thing is when I use JInitiator 1.3.1.22 the diolog box defaults to the c: eports folder but when I use J2SE JRE 1.5.0_21-b01 it defaults to c: emp (which is where 'My Documents' points to, may be just a coincidence)
I have a major issue because I have to finish this project by tomorrow and I don't know how I could create a button on a form that will pop a window where the user can browse his system for and Image, select it and upload it on the Database.
The idea is that I have this table called APPLICANTS with columns like:
applicant_id name surname housenumber street town photo
I have created a registration form for the applicant inorder to register to the system but I just can't figure out how to upload a photo of the applicant.
I need to change "File Character" when I export application with Apex 4.2.1.00.08 version, but this option, is not possible. The ComboBox already select with

From a script how I can read a local file (where I have the sql client)?
I have an Oracle database on a server, and I connect from another machine with SQL Developer.I want to read a text file on my local machine ( where I run my script) to use the data in the script.I never want to read or write on the server.
Reading on internet i read about UTF_FILE package But what is not clear to me is, this is on the server or client ?Also some people says UTF_FILE can work both on client side and server side.Also I read about package text_io, but I think it is only for forms.
i am working on Database 11g. I Need to download file to local after the file is created in the database directory using UTL_FILE . i am able to generate the file but not aware how to copy or download the file to local using PL/SQL . i have done the same in forms using webutil pll.
1) at the click of button, some data will be written to XML file and after writting to file, it should get saved to some location on local machine(c: emp), without asking user, where to save.
How to do this in oracle form?
Also is it possible to read file from local machine?

I have multibyte CSV files (extract from BI) : Excel says "Unicode txt" and when I save them from Excel in "Text CSV", they get half the size on the disk.
here is the piece of code where the uploaded file get converted from blob to clob then to varchar2 (CSV Util from Oleg.Lihvoinen [URL]...
SELECT blob_content INTO v_blob_data FROM wwv_flow_files WHERE NAME = p_file_name;
[code]...
I have tried different values for "blob_csid := 873 ;" (and by the way, the list of possible values for this code is very difficult to find : I know, there is a function CS_name to CS_ID but a list would be great), but without any visible effect.If I use the Apex CSV uploader app, the result is the same than with this code.
is an example : �O�R�A�C�L�E�
instead of : ORACLE
How I can have these files imported whithout an Excel conversion ?
I want to print a report using the apex, but it looks like you need to configure BI, Is there an easy way to print it online and not print the page, which is page report.
My application has several update-able forms. And I build a single staging table to store all these records.
The user wants a button on the last form and by clicking on this button they want to export the file(updated records from all the forms) in ASCII format.
if its do-able or not in apex since I haven't come across this kind of request earlier and didn't find the same in this forum?
I'm trying to upload a xml file into a table but I don't know which separator do I have to select to show the columns well. I does not recognize the columns.
In my apex application needs to import data files, through end users. The fields in this file are not separated by any character (structure is not classic CSV), but have a fixed width.
How to do?
Scenario 1:
import file to a temporary table with a blob column, create a trigger for this table via a PL / SQL code meet end table
I'm starting with APEX, I would like to know how to insert the contents of a file. Csv in a table, how to map a file to a table, how to insert file contents. Xls in a table.
I get an ERR-7621 from Apex whenever I do anything in an application the tries to read a file. For example importing images, css files, themes, or applications. Even the data loader app will get the error if you choose to load a "csv" file. The following appears in my Apex Listener Log (version 2 early adopter). I am running 4.1.1 of Apex and also have another server running the same where the problem does not exist. Following is the log output whenever the load occurs:
Sep 28, 2012 11:21:18 AM com.sun.grizzly.http.servlet.ServletAdapter doService SEVERE: service exception: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "" at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatException.java:48)
