Subject: Re: [Zope] Anyone put Images in Interbase 6 and view via Zope?
Brad,
I think I can provide some information. I have added a jpg to an interbase
table and have successfuly displayed it in ZOPE. First off you may know
that Interbase does not store BLOB data directly in a table's blob column.
It stores the data elsewhere and then stores a "pointer" to it in the
table column. This means that BLOB data MUST be inserted via program code
and thus you cannot do the following in a Zope SQL Method:
insert into the_table (blob_column) values (blob_data)
If you are using the gvibDA you can code an external method to do this:
import gvib
cn = gvib.connect(...)
cr = cn.cursor()
cr.execute('insert into the_table (blob_column values (?)', (blob_data,))
cn.commit()
cr.close()
cn.close()
What I did to display the JPG may or may not be legal but here is what I
did.
Code an external method (saveimage) to save the jpg to a temporary file.
My codewas:
def saveimage(ifile, idata):
fout = open(ifile, 'wb')
fout.write(idata)
fout.close()
Then I coded an SQL Method to select the blob column. My example table has
one row in it.
select picture from sela
Then I coded a DTML Method to do the rest:
Just wondering if anyone can report success or failure storing .jpgs as
> blobs in Interbase and viewing same via Zope.
