I work at a community college and have been asked to include student photos on class rosters.

I was considering importing the jpg's into an oracle blob field and the displayiing the photo along with the student's name address.....

has anyone tried something like this?

is there a data type that will render a picture rather than displaying the .jpg's raw data

First, please correct your typos - this will help in future searches; "jpog", "jps".

Second, if you search for 'jpeg blob' you will get a couple of results that may help.

Cheers,


Francis

Unless you do some work behind the scenes, blob images will only work in pdf format in 7.7.03 (I don't know about your version). I read somewhere that html format now supports blob images in 8. This type of program isn't two hard, you just need to compute rownbr (by field), colnbr(across field), etc. to get everything right. It helps if all the pictures are similar in size. Page-break when needed. I'll let you figure out the rest.

For HTML output we just use a DEFINE to build a link that points to the picture on our ID System.
 <img src=http://server.edu/path/photos/' ||StudentID || '.jpg width = 60 >';

Then just print the DEFINE field in your report. This doesn't work for PDF output.

Hi,

If you "only" need HTML reports with images from ORA BLOBs, this might help you

Cheers Linne
