hi,
we have a admin wizard where in there are 850 officials whose details are like
emp id
date of birth
date of joining
basic pay
photo
etc........
i have the photos of the officials out of the data base.
i have created a report to generate the details of the officials. what i would like to have is to get the photo of each official from the file which is not in the data base.
i have the command in pre_form
read_image_file('path where the photos are','msg.mcn');
this gives the same photo to all the officials.
how do i be able to link the photos to their emp id and get it
thanks in advance

hi irfan,
i did try out the same way as u mentioned. but i am getting this error
"REP-1517: COLUMN'CF_1' REFERENCES COLUMN 'EMP_ID', WHICH HAS INCOMPATIBLE FREQUENCY"
my settings for the formula column does not have the xml settings. it stops at pl/ sql formula. is the problem because of that. i have attached the screen shot of the formula column properties for your reference.
pl let me know necessary correction to be made

hi,
i tried the same way, now what happens is there are certain emp id where there are no photos received. so the report throws an error "no <emp_id>.jpg found. No photo found for that emp Id.
i tried giving exception
when NO_DATA_FOUND RETURN (NULL)it gives an error.
what is the exception to be used to make it work.
i even tried giving an exception to return any available jpg file,to check how the exception works ,but it doesnt accept.
thanks in advance

The exception is coming outside the pl/sql function - hence no exception handler can catch it.
You should have the complete image path/name stored in a column (or 2 if you prefer) in the emp table. Those columns should be null if there is no image. Then you would just return that data. If it's null there won't be a problem.
