Oracle Multimedia provides a relational interface that consists of a set of static methods for each of these Oracle Multimedia objects:
ORDAudio
ORDDoc
ORDImage
ORDVideo
Because these are static methods, no objects are instantiated. So, data is passed by method arguments rather than by object attributes.
The static methods for these four Oracle Multimedia objects are defined in the ordaspec.sql
, orddspec.sql
, ordispec.sql
, and ordvspec.sql
files, respectively. After installation, these files are available in the Oracle home directory at:
<ORACLE_HOME>
/ord/im/admin
(on Linux and UNIX)
<ORACLE_HOME>
\ord\im\admin
(on Windows)
This chapter includes these sections:
Static Methods Unique to the ORDAudio Object Type Relational Interface
Static Methods Unique to the ORDDoc Object Type Relational Interface
Static Methods Unique to the ORDImage Object Type Relational Interface
Static Methods Unique to the ORDVideo Object Type Relational Interface
Application developers, who created multimedia applications without using the Oracle Multimedia object types to store and manage media data in relational tables, and who do not want to migrate their existing multimedia applications to use Oracle Multimedia objects, can use the Oracle Multimedia relational interface for managing their media data. The Oracle Multimedia relational interface consists of a set of methods for these operations:
Extracting information directly from media data, either as an XML string or as XML and individual attributes
Processing and copying image data
Loading media data into Oracle Database
Exporting media data from Oracle Database into operating system files
The Oracle Multimedia relational interface enables application developers to take advantage of Oracle Multimedia functions with only minimal changes to their applications, and all without having to change their schemas to the Oracle Multimedia objects to store their data.
The examples of static methods for the relational interface (including methods common to all object types and methods that are unique to a particular object type) use this list of tables:
Name | Purpose | Definition |
---|---|---|
TAUD | ORDAudio relational methods (and the common relational method export( )) | TAUD Table Definition |
TDOC | ORDDoc relational methods (and the common relational method importFrom( )) | TDOC Table Definition |
TIMG | ORDImage relational methods (and the common relational method importFrom( ) (all attributes)) | TIMG Table Definition |
TVID | ORDVideo relational methods | TVID Table Definition |
When reading through the examples in this chapter, use the directory and table definitions that are provided in this section and with the example for each relational method.
Note:
The tables described in this chapter are also used in the examples for these object constructors:Some examples in this chapter use mediauser
to represent the user, and c:\mydir\work
to represent the directory specification where your test files can be located. See the example for each method for specific directory definitions for media data files and other details specific to that method.
The examples in Static Methods Unique to the ORDAudio Object Type Relational Interface use the audio table TAUD.
CREATE TABLE taud(n NUMBER, aud BLOB, attributes CLOB, mimetype VARCHAR2(4000), format VARCHAR2(31), encoding VARCHAR2(256), numberofchannels INTEGER, samplingrate INTEGER, samplesize INTEGER, compressiontype VARCHAR2(4000), audioduration INTEGER) LOB(aud) STORE AS SECUREFILE; INSERT INTO taud VALUES(1,EMPTY_BLOB(),EMPTY_CLOB(), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL); INSERT INTO taud VALUES(2,EMPTY_BLOB(),EMPTY_CLOB(), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL); COMMIT;
The examples in Static Methods Unique to the ORDDoc Object Type Relational Interface use the document table TDOC.
CREATE TABLE tdoc(n NUMBER, document BLOB, attributes CLOB, mimetype VARCHAR2(80), format VARCHAR2(80), contentlength INTEGER) LOB(document) STORE AS SECUREFILE; INSERT INTO tdoc VALUES(1, EMPTY_BLOB(), EMPTY_CLOB(), NULL, NULL, NULL); INSERT INTO tdoc VALUES(2, EMPTY_BLOB(), EMPTY_CLOB(), NULL, NULL, NULL); INSERT INTO tdoc VALUES(3, EMPTY_BLOB(), EMPTY_CLOB(), NULL, NULL, NULL); INSERT INTO tdoc VALUES(4, EMPTY_BLOB(), EMPTY_CLOB(), NULL, NULL, NULL); COMMIT;
The examples in Static Methods Unique to the ORDImage Object Type Relational Interface use the image table TIMG.
CREATE TABLE timg(n NUMBER, img BLOB, attributes CLOB, mimetype VARCHAR2(4000), width INTEGER, height INTEGER, fileformat VARCHAR2(4000), contentformat VARCHAR2(4000), compressionformat VARCHAR2(4000), contentlength INTEGER) LOB(img) STORE AS SECUREFILE; INSERT INTO timg VALUES(1, EMPTY_BLOB(), EMPTY_CLOB(), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL); INSERT INTO timg VALUES(2, EMPTY_BLOB(), EMPTY_CLOB(), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL); COMMIT;
The examples in Static Methods Unique to the ORDVideo Object Type Relational Interface use the video table TVID.
CREATE TABLE tvid(n NUMBER, vid BLOB, attributes CLOB, mimetype VARCHAR2(4000), format VARCHAR2(31), width INTEGER, height INTEGER, frameresolution INTEGER, framerate INTEGER, videoduration INTEGER, numberofframes INTEGER, compressiontype VARCHAR2(4000), numberofcolors INTEGER, bitrate INTEGER) LOB(vid) STORE AS SECUREFILE; INSERT INTO tvid VALUES(1, EMPTY_BLOB(), EMPTY_CLOB(), NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL); INSERT INTO tvid VALUES(2, EMPTY_BLOB(), EMPTY_CLOB(), NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL); COMMIT;
Methods related to the source of the media have ctx (RAW) as the first argument. Before calling any of these methods for the first time, the client must allocate the ctx structure and initialize it to NULL.
ORDAudio, ORDDoc, and ORDVideo methods related to media parsing have ctx (RAW) as the first argument. Before calling any of these methods for the first time, the client must allocate the ctx structure and initialize it to NULL.
This section presents reference information about these Oracle Multimedia common static methods, which are used for the relational interface:
The common static methods for the ORDAudio, ORDDoc, ORDImage, and ORDVideo relational interfaces are defined in the ordaspec.sql
, orddspec.sql
, ordispec.sql
, and ordvspec.sql
files, respectively.
Note:
The examples in this section assume that these tables exist: TAUD, TDOC, and TIMG.export(ctx IN OUT RAW,
local_data IN BLOB,
source_type IN VARCHAR2,
source_location IN VARCHAR2,
source_name IN VARCHAR2);
Copies data from a local source (local_data) within the database to an external data source.
Note:
The export( ) method provides native support only when the value of the source_type parameter isFILE
. In this case, this method writes the data to a file within a directory that is accessible to Oracle Database. User-defined sources may support the export( ) method to provide WRITE access to other types of data stores.The source plug-in context information. (See Section 7.3.)
The BLOB location that is being exported.
The type of the external source data. This parameter is not case sensitive. (See Table 2-1.)
The location to which the source data is to be exported. (See Table 2-2.)
The name of the object to which the source data is to be exported. (See Table 2-3.)
After calling the export( ) method, you can issue a SQL DELETE statement or call the DBMS_LOB.TRIM procedure to delete the content stored locally, if desired.
The export( ) method for a source type of FILE
does not modify data stored in the BLOB.
When the source_type parameter has a value of FILE
, the source_location parameter specifies the name of an Oracle directory object, and the source_name parameter specifies the name of the file to contain the data.
The export( ) method writes only to a database directory object that the user has privilege to access. That is, you can access a directory object that you have created using the SQL statement CREATE DIRECTORY, or one to which you have been granted READ and WRITE access.
For example, the following SQL*Plus commands create a directory object and grant the user mediauser
permission to read and write to any file within the directory c:\mydir\work
:
CONNECT sys as sysdba
Enter password: password
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY FILE_DIR AS 'c:\mydir\work';
GRANT READ,WRITE ON DIRECTORY FILE_DIR TO mediauser;
See Section 7.2 for more information about directory and table definitions.
None.
ORDSourceExceptions.INCOMPLETE_SOURCE_INFORMATION
This exception is raised if you call the export( ) method and the value of the source_type parameter is NULL
.
ORDSourceExceptions.IO_ERROR
This exception is raised if the export( ) method encounters an error writing the BLOB data to the file specified.
ORDSourceExceptions.METHOD_NOT_SUPPORTED
This exception is raised if you call the export( ) method and this method is not supported by the source plug-in being used.
See Appendix G for more information about these exceptions.
Export data from a local source to an external data source:
Note:
Replace c:\mydir\work with the directory specification where your exported file should be located, and replace password with thesys
password.CONNECT sys as sysdba Enter password: password; CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY AUDIODIR AS 'c:\mydir\work'; GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY AUDIODIR TO mediauser; CONNECT mediauser Enter password: password; DECLARE audio_data BLOB; ctx RAW(64) :=NULL; BEGIN SELECT aud INTO audio_data FROM taud WHERE N = 1; ORDSYS.ORDAudio.export(ctx,audio_data,'file','AUDIODIR','testaud.dat'); EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN RAISE; END; /
importFrom(ctx IN OUT RAW,
local_data IN OUT NOCOPY BLOB,
source_type IN VARCHAR2,
source_location IN VARCHAR2,
source_name IN VARCHAR2);
Transfers data from the specified external data source to the BLOB specified by the local_data parameter.
The source plug-in context information. This parameter must be allocated and initialized to NULL. If you are using a user-defined source plug-in, call the openSource( ) method. (See Section 7.3.)
The BLOB location to receive the data.
The type of the source data. (See Table 2-1.)
The location from which the source data is to be imported. (See Table 2-2.)
The name of the source data. (See Table 2-3.)
If the value of the source_type parameter is FILE
, the source_location parameter contains the name of a database directory object that contains the file to be imported, and the source_name parameter contains the name of the file to be imported. You must ensure that the directory for the external source location exists or is created before you use this method.
The importFrom( ) method reads only from a database directory object that the user has privilege to access. That is, you can access a directory object that you have created using the SQL statement CREATE DIRECTORY, or one to which you have been granted READ access.
For example, the following SQL*Plus commands create a directory object and grant the user mediauser
permission to read any file within the directory c:\mydir\work
:
CONNECT sys as sysdba
Enter password: password
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY FILE_DIR AS 'c:\mydir\work';
GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY FILE_DIR TO mediauser;
See Section 7.2 for more information about directory and table definitions.
If the value of the source_type parameter is HTTP
, the source_location parameter contains the base URL needed to find the directory that contains the object to be imported, and the source_name parameter contains the name of the object to be imported.
This method uses the PL/SQL UTL_HTTP package to import media data from an HTTP data source. You can use environment variables to specify the proxy behavior of the UTL_HTTP package. For example, on Linux and UNIX, setting the environment variable http_proxy to a URL specifies that the UTL_HTTP package must use that URL as the proxy server for HTTP requests. Setting the no_proxy environment variable to a domain name specifies that the HTTP proxy server not be used for URLs in the specified domain.
See Also:
Oracle Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference for more information about the UTL_HTTP package
If the value of the source_type parameter is a user-defined name, the source_location parameter contains an identifier string required to access the user-defined object to be imported, and the source_name parameter contains the name of the object to be imported.
None.
ORDSourceExceptions.METHOD_NOT_SUPPORTED
This exception is raised if you call the importFrom( ) method and this method is not supported by the source plug-in being used.
ORDSourceExceptions.NULL_SOURCE
This exception is raised if you call the importFrom( ) method and the value of the local_data parameter is NULL
or has not been initialized.
See Appendix G for more information about these exceptions.
Import data from the specified external data source into the local source:
Note:
Replace c:\mydir\work with the directory specification where your test files are located, replace testimg.dat, testaud.dat, and testvid.dat with the file specifications of your test files, and replace password with the system password.CONNECT sys as sysdba Enter password: password; CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY DOCDIR AS 'c:\mydir\work'; GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY DOCDIR TO mediauser; CONNECT mediauser Enter password: password; DECLARE document_data BLOB; ctx RAW(64) :=NULL; BEGIN SELECT document INTO document_data FROM tdoc WHERE N = 1 FOR UPDATE; ORDSYS.ORDDoc.importFrom(ctx,document_data,'file','DOCDIR','testimg.dat'); UPDATE tdoc SET document = document_data WHERE N = 1; COMMIT; SELECT document INTO document_data FROM tdoc WHERE N = 2 FOR UPDATE; ORDSYS.ORDDoc.importFrom(ctx,document_data,'file','DOCDIR','testaud.dat'); UPDATE tdoc SET document = document_data WHERE N = 2; COMMIT; SELECT document INTO document_data FROM tdoc WHERE N = 3 FOR UPDATE; ORDSYS.ORDDoc.importFrom(ctx,document_data,'file','DOCDIR','testvid.dat'); UPDATE tdoc SET document = document_data WHERE N = 3; COMMIT; EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN RAISE; END; /
importFrom(ctx IN OUT RAW,
local_data IN OUT NOCOPY BLOB,
source_type IN VARCHAR2,
source_location IN VARCHAR2,
source_name IN VARCHAR2,
format OUT VARCHAR2,
mime_type OUT VARCHAR2);
Transfers data from the specified external data source to the BLOB specified by the local_data parameter.
The source plug-in context information. (See Section 7.3.)
The BLOB location to receive the data.
The type of the source data. (See Table 2-1.)
The location from which the source data is to be imported. (See Table 2-2.)
The name of the source data. (See Table 2-3.)
The format of the data. The value is returned if it is available (from HTTP sources).
The MIME type of the data. The value is returned if it is available (from HTTP sources).
If the value of the source_type parameter is FILE
, the source_location parameter contains the name of a database directory object that contains the file to be imported, and the source_name parameter contains the name of the file to be imported. You must ensure that the directory for the external source location exists or is created before you use this method.
The importFrom( ) method reads only from a database directory object that the user has privilege to access. That is, you can access a directory object that you have created using the SQL statement CREATE DIRECTORY, or one to which you have been granted READ access.
For example, the following SQL*Plus commands create a directory object and grant the user mediauser
permission to read any file within the directory c:\mydir\work
:
CONNECT sys as sysdba
Enter password: password
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY FILE_DIR AS 'c:\mydir\work';
GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY FILE_DIR TO mediauser;
See Section 7.2 for more information about directory and table definitions.
If the value of the source_type parameter is HTTP
, the source_location parameter contains the base URL needed to find the directory that contains the object to be imported, and the source_name parameter contains the name of the object to be imported.
This method uses the PL/SQL UTL_HTTP package to import media data from an HTTP data source. You can use environment variables to specify the proxy behavior of the UTL_HTTP package. For example, on Linux and UNIX, setting the environment variable http_proxy to a URL specifies that the UTL_HTTP package must use that URL as the proxy server for HTTP requests. Setting the no_proxy environment variable to a domain name specifies that the HTTP proxy server not be used for URLs in the specified domain.

If the value of the source_type parameter is a user-defined name, the source_location parameter contains an identifier string required to access the user-defined object to be imported, and the source_name parameter contains the name of the object to be imported.
None.
ORDSourceExceptions.METHOD_NOT_SUPPORTED
This exception is raised if you call the importFrom( ) method and this method is not supported by the source plug-in being used.
ORDSourceExceptions.NULL_SOURCE
This exception is raised if you call the importFrom( ) method and the value of the local_data parameter is NULL
or has not been initialized.
See Appendix G for more information about these exceptions.
Import image data from the specified external data source into the local source:
Note:
Replace c:\mydir\work with the directory specification where your test file is located, replace testimg.dat with the file specification of your test file, and replace password with the system password.CONNECT sys as sysdba Enter password: password; CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY IMAGEDIR AS 'c:\mydir\work'; GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY IMAGEDIR TO mediauser; CONNECT mediauser Enter password: password; DECLARE image_data BLOB; ctx RAW(64) :=NULL; img_format VARCHAR2(32) := NULL; img_mime_type VARCHAR2(80); BEGIN SELECT img INTO image_data FROM timg WHERE N = 1 FOR UPDATE; ORDSYS.ORDImage.importFrom(ctx,image_data,'file','IMAGEDIR', 'testimg.dat',img_format,img_mime_type); UPDATE timg SET img = image_data WHERE N = 1; COMMIT; EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN RAISE; END; /

You can change one or more of the image attributes shown in Table 5-1. Table 5-2 shows additional changes that can be made only to raw pixel and foreign images.
See Appendix D for more information about process( ) operators.
The process( ) method changes image attributes, therefore if you are storing image attributes, call the getProperties( ) method after calling the process( ) method.
None.
ORDImageExceptions.DATA_NOT_LOCAL
This exception is raised if you call the process( ) method and the imageBlob parameter is not initialized.
See Appendix G for more information about this exception.
Example 1:
Change the image in the image_data BLOB to use higher quality JPEG compression and double the length of the image along the X-axis:
ORDSYS.ORDImage.process( image_data,'compressionFormat=JPEG,compressionQuality=MAXCOMPRATIO, xScale="2.0"');
Note:
Changing the length on one axis (for example, xScale=2.0) does not affect the length on the other axis; thus, it distorts the image. Only the xScale and yScale operators can be combined in a single scale operation; any other combination of scale operators causes an error.Example 2:
Create at most a 32-by-32 pixel thumbnail image, preserving the original aspect ratio. The maxScale and fixedScale operators are especially useful for creating thumbnail images from various-sized originals:
ORDSYS.ORDImage.process(image_data, 'maxScale=32 32');
Example 3:
Convert the image to TIFF:
DECLARE img_attrib CLOB; image_data BLOB; BEGIN SELECT img, attributes INTO image_data, img_attrib FROM timg WHERE N = 1 FOR UPDATE; ORDSYS.ORDImage.process(image_data, 'fileFormat=TIFF'); ORDSYS.ORDImage.getProperties(image_data, img_attrib); UPDATE timg SET img = image_data, attributes=img_attrib WHERE N = 1; COMMIT; EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN RAISE; END; /

A list of image processing changes to make for the image in the new copy.
The destination of the new image.
See Table 5-1 and Table 5-2 for information about image processing operators.
Because temporary LOBs do not have read consistency, you cannot use the same temporary LOB for both the imageBlob and dest parameters.
Calling this method processes the image into the destination BLOB from any source BLOB.
The processCopy( ) method changes image attributes, therefore, if you are storing image attributes, call the getProperties( ) method on the destination image after calling the processCopy( ) method.
See Appendix D for more information about processCopy( ) operators.
None.
ORDImageExceptions.DATA_NOT_LOCAL
This exception is raised if you call the processCopy( ) method and the imageBlob parameter is not initialized.
See Appendix G for more information about this exception.
Copy an image, changing the file format, compression format, and content format in the destination image:
DECLARE dest_attrib CLOB; image_data BLOB; destination_data BLOB; the_Command VARCHAR2(4000); BEGIN SELECT img INTO image_data FROM timg WHERE N = 1; SELECT img, attributes INTO destination_data, dest_attrib FROM timg WHERE N = 2 FOR UPDATE; the_Command := 'fileFormat=tiff, compressionFormat=packbits, contentFormat=8bitlut'; ORDSYS.ORDImage.processCopy(image_data, the_Command, destination_data); ORDSYS.ORDImage.getProperties(destination_data, dest_attrib); UPDATE timg SET img = destination_data, attributes=dest_attrib WHERE N = 2; COMMIT; EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN RAISE; END; /
putMetadata(imageBfile IN NOCOPY BFILE,
dest IN OUT NOCOPY BLOB
xmlData IN NOCOPY XMLType,
metadataType IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'XMP',
encoding IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT "UTF-8");
Accepts a BFILE containing an image and a schema-valid XML document, and creates a binary packet suitable for embedding in the target image file format. The packet is encoded according to the value of the encoding parameter. If the value of the metadataType parameter is XMP
, this method writes a new XMP packet to the image, replacing any existing XMP packets. The new image file with embedded metadata is returned in the dest parameter.
The BFILE handle to the image.
The BLOB to receive the image containing the embedded metadata.
The XMLtype that contains a schema-valid XML document for the indicated metadataType. If the value of the metadataType parameter is XMP
, the root element should contain a well-formed RDF document.
A string that specifies the type of metadata to write. The valid value is XMP
; it is also the default.
The character encoding to be used in the image file. Valid values are: UTF-8
, UTF-16
, UTF-16BE
, and UTF-16LE
. The default is UTF-8
.
The binary metadata packet generated from the same xmlData input may have different sizes for different encodings. Different image file formats support different encodings, and may restrict the binary metadata packet size. The restrictions of the supported image formats are as follows:
GIF89a supports UTF-8 encoding only.
JPEG requires a binary packet size of less than 65502 bytes.
TIFF requires a binary packet size of less than 4 gigabytes.

None.
ORDImageExceptions.NULL_CONTENT
This exception is raised when the image is NULL.
ORDImageExceptions.NULL_DESTINATION
This exception is raised when the destination image is NULL.
See Appendix G for more information about these exceptions.
Insert a new image into the table pm.print_media
. The new image is a copy of the image keyboard.jpg

putMetadata(imageBlob IN NOCOPY BLOB,

Accepts a BLOB containing an image and a schema-valid XML document, and creates a binary packet suitable for embedding in the target image file format. The packet is encoded according to the value of the encoding parameter. If the value of the metadataType parameter is XMP
, this method writes a new XMP packet to the image, replacing any existing XMP packets. The new image file with embedded metadata is returned in the dest parameter.

Because temporary LOBs do not have read consistency, you cannot use one temporary LOB for both the imageBlob and dest parameters. The binary metadata packet generated from the same xmlData input may have different sizes for different encodings. Different image file formats support different encodings, and may restrict the binary metadata packet size. The restrictions of the supported image formats are as follows:
