Re: Inserting Graphic-file through Web-form

We are using web pages to load images and HTML pages to our 7.2.3 database for security reasons.

If you have access to the Oracle Web Cartridge Developers Kit CDROM it includes an Oracle written C cartridge called Image Server (ImgSrv).

This is C code that creates a web cartridge that allows loading images into LONG columns. We are using a modified version to load HTML pages with OWS 2.1

It uses the HTML <INPUT TYPE="file"> to allow the selecting of files to be uploaded, and users are familiar with this interface.

Hope this helps.
