Re: Q: storing images in DB

Loh Hun Soo:

Although this method does work with Oracle Forms. This routine with forms is limited:

64k appears to be the limit of a tiff image. Anything greater simply does not load.

Also the Forms image object only displays the first page of a tiff file, or only the first is loaded. I don't know for sure which is accurate.

I believe Wine is going to be great if it ever gets finished. . .
I believe Linux _is_ great even though it's not finished! ! !
