BEGIN
fname := :mcard.idcode || '.jpg';
INSERT INTO EMP_IMG VALUES ( :mcard.idcode, EMPTY_BLOB() )returning EMP_IMG INTO l_blob;

l_bfile := BFILENAME( 'C:/PHOTOS', fname );
dbms_lob.fileopen( l_bfile );

dbms_lob.loadfromfile( l_blob, l_bfile,
dbms_lob.getlength( l_bfile ) );

1) Is this the full message that you received "ORA-00439 feature not enabled: string"?

2) What version of database are you running?

Thank you for answering question #2.

Please answer question #1 giving the whole message that you receive.

Please put a 'message('stmt nn');pause;' command pair between each line of your code, increment the 'nn' string, and tell us at which command, exactly, your code is failing.

Please confirm that

1) :mcard.idcode is a character field.
2) the value in :mcard.idcode does not currently exist in the table emp_img
3) please list the REAL code that you are using. Currently, you have your blob object (emp_img) having the same name as your table object (emp_img).

1. :mcard.idcode is character in my form.
2. value i'm passing is not present in the table.
3. blob column name and my table name is same as emp_img.

But that is not the problem i think, coz. i created a test table with photo as blob item.
but i'm getting same problem.

i'll upload the test program, where i'm getting the same problem.
may be this will explain my problem more clearly.

Do you need the 'returning'?

The documentation says:

Quote:

Restrictions on the RETURNING Clause
You cannot:

Specify the returning_clause for a multitable insert.
Use this clause with parallel DML or with remote objects.
Retrieve LONG types with this clause.
Specify this clause for a view on which an INSTEAD OF trigger has been defined.

Does 'LONG' also include 'BLOB' and 'CLOB'?

I did a google search on 'insert returning blob'. Try it. When I find a good example I will update this post.

This one http://www.psoug.org/reference/utl_compress.html looks exactly like you have asked.

This one http://www.unix.org.ua/orelly/oracle/prog2/ch13_02.htm makes me feel that you don't need the 'returning'.

Try changing the field name or the table name.

sorry i didn't get you.

I've stored few photos on the server through a procedure whic is as follows.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Loadimage(idcode VARCHAR) AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
l_blob BLOB;
l_bfile BFILE;
fname VARCHAR2(25);
BEGIN
fname := idcode || '.jpg';
INSERT INTO EMP_IMG VALUES ( idcode, EMPTY_BLOB() ) returning EMP_IMG INTO l_blob;

l_bfile := BFILENAME( 'PHOTOS', fname );
dbms_lob.fileopen( l_bfile );

dbms_lob.loadfromfile( l_blob, l_bfile,
dbms_lob.getlength( l_bfile ) );

dbms_lob.fileclose( l_bfile );
END;
END;
/

i've my employee pics at \home\oracle\photos\
and from there i'm inserting into the database through this procedure.
This worked fine.
But i want to give this facility to my user through user interface ie. through forms 6.0

What ever photos were stored i'm able to fetch on the screen at runtime.
But for those employees who join afterwards and there photo in not in the database.I would like the administration people to feed their details and his/her photo too through my form.

In this case also should i first load the photo in \oracle\photos. or should i try from the local machine.
in my form i've tried saving an image from my local machine.

coz. according to documentation it doesn't store the image but a pointer to the address of the image.

i'm totally confused what to do...

Having the column name and the table name the same, for me, is an unwise action. Change either the table name or column name to something different.

I have no other ideas to share with you. Hopefully, someone else will have an idea.
