    The document discusses how to store and retrieve images from a BLOB field in a database table using PowerBuilder code. It confirms that automatically storing images to a BLOB field from the hard disk is not possible, but provides examples of using FileReadEx and UpdateBlob commands to manually load an image from a file into a BLOB. It also confirms that retrieving images from a BLOB field and saving them to disk is possible using SelectBlob and FileWriteEx commands. Additional questions are asked and answered regarding using data pipelines to copy BLOB data and modifying a BLOB field to use file streaming.

    Hi Ahmed;

    Q1: is there any way to store image already in Hard disk to BLOB field in table (automatically)
    A1: NO (not automatically). However, you could use the FileReadEx ( ) method
    and UpdateBlob PowerBuilder command to accomplish this in PowerScript code.
    Q2: can i do vice versa of the previous point??
    A2: Yes, by using the SelectBlob and FileWriteEx ( ) PowerBuilder commands to accomplish this in
    PowerScript code.
    HTH
    Regards ... Chris

    No (not automatically). However I could use ..........
    could i make script that for each row in table that i store the path (loop) ...
    blob pdf_blob
    for i = 1 to rowcount()
    ls_path = dw_1.object.pdf_path[i]
    li_fnum = FileOpen(ls_path , StreamMode!)
    ll_bytes = FileReadEx(li_fnum, pdf_blob)
    updateblob table1 set ole_image = :pdf_blob
    WHERE ..........
    next
    thus it can be done automatically - or there are some thing wrong?
    Q3
    If i use data pipeline to copy table that contain Blob to other table(either in the same DB or in
    different DB)
    is Blob column will be in the new table with data or with no data (images)
    Q4
    if for now i use column as Blob and enter data on it(images)
    later can i modify it to be Blob with filestreaming without need to modify any code in app
    Regards

    try to create a picture object and put the image inside this, like example:

    // Mostra a foto na tela do colaborador


    SELECTBLOB imagem INTO :lb_imagem
    FROM colaborador
    WHERE nr_matricula = :ll_matricula ;

    if len(lb_imagem) = 0 or isnull(lb_imagem) then


    p_1.PictureName = " "
    p_1.visible = false
    else
    p_1.visible = true
    p_1.setpicture(lb_imagem)
    end if

    maybe this can help you, first you might have to create a temp file from
    the blob.

    This script is not mine, just can't remeber whre I got it, (probably here)
    //start Script
    //Obtain Image from DB to be used later
    //ll_max = dw_wallpapers.GetItemNumber(dw_wallpapers.RowCount(), 2)
    // SelectBlob imagen
    // into :lblob_imagen
    // from imagenes
    // Where imagen_ind = :ll_max;
    //
    // If SQLCA.SQLCode <> 0 then
    // messagebox("","Error al recuperar la imagen")
    // return
    // End if
    //
    // FileDelete(is_tempfilename + ls_extension)
    //
    // ll_aux = FileOpen(is_tempfilename + ls_extension, StreamMode!,
    Write!, LockWrite!, Replace!)
    //
    // if ll_aux < 1 then
    // messagebox("","Error al crear archivo temporal")
    // return
    // End if
    //
    // if FileWriteEx(ll_aux, lblob_imagen) = -1 then
    // messagebox("","Error al escribir el archivo")
    // return
    // End if
    //
    // FileClose(ll_aux)
    //
    // p_preview.PictureName = is_tempfilename + ls_extension // You can sub
    this line to fit your needs in you app...
    //End Script

    Mayby this will help you


    1. use FileOpen() to open your destination file
    2. Determine how many times you have to write data. FileWrite can write only
    32,766 bytes at a time, which includes the string terminator character.
    3. Loop and call FileWrite()
    4. Close the file

    Happy Coding!

    (2).-----------------------------------------------------------

    ll_BLen = Len(ablb_Data)

    if ll_BLen > 32765 then


    if Mod(ll_BLen, 32765) = 0 Then
    li_WriteTimes = ll_BLen / 32765
    else
    li_WriteTimes = (ll_BLen / 32765) + 1
    end if
    else
    li_WriteTimes = 1
    end if
