Sample demonstrating the usage of LONGRAW type

This document is organized into following sub-sections :

1. Overview of the Sample Application
2. Required Software
3. Installation and Configuration
4. Description of Sample Files

This application show how to perform inserts and retrieval from a LONGRAW column using JDBC. The sample uses the JDBC-Thin driver; the code is the same for JDBC-OCI, except for the database URL syntax.

Table Creation: This application requires a table AIRLINES_LONGRAW_TABLE to be  present.

Steps in the Application

Required Software

Back To Top

• Oracle9i JDeveloper or higher ( Note: JDeveloper is Oracle's Visual Java Development Tool and can be downloaded from here )
  or
  JDK1.2.x (can be downloaded from here )

• Oracle9i (Database) or higher running SQL*Net TCP/IP listener. This can be downloaded from here.

The section has instructions for step-by-step instructions to run this application successfully. This will be discussed in the following subsections

Install the sample

Run the sample using Oracle9i JDeveloper

Run the sample using the JDK environment

Install the sample

 Step 1. Unjar  LongRawSample.jar using Winzip, or using the following command:
              > jar xvf LongRawSample.jar . This creates a directory LongRawSample.

 Step 2. Edit Connection.properties file. Change the hostname, portnumber and database name to those of the database instance you want
             to connect to.

            Change the following lines:
        

Run the sample using Oracle9i JDeveloper

 Step 1. Using JDeveloper File/Open option select the LongRawSamples.jws from the LongRawSample directory.

 Step 2. Select Project/Make from JDeveloper main menu and select Make Project "LongRawSample.jpr"

 Step 3. Right click on  the file PopulateTable.java, and select Run. This will create a table AIRLINES_LONGRAW_TABLE and populate it with  binary data from the GIF files present under LongRawSample

 Step 4. Select Run/Run LongRawSample.jpr from JDeveloper main menu to run the application.

Run the sample using the JDK Environment

 Step 1. Install Oracle JDBC Driver and include the zip/jar files in the CLASSPATH. Make sure that connection.properties,the GIF image files and LongRawSample/src are in the CLASSPATH.

 Step 2.  Change directory to LongRawSample/src/oracle/otnsamples/jdbc/longraw. Compile the files using javac:

               %javac *.java

 Step 3. Run the class file using java. This will create the required database tables:            
            
              %java oracle.otnsamples.jdbc.longraw.PopulateTable

 Step 4. Run the class file using java:

               %java oracle.otnsamples.jdbc.longraw.LongRawSample

LongRawSample is the top level directory.
