Does anyone have any experience with displaying images in a web browser that are stored in a 7.3.4, or 8i database. The images are stored in raw format, and in multiple pieces because they are larger than 32K.
Ideally, i'd like a link for the user to click which would then display the image.
I know OWS2 has some support for this but I'm generally lost.
Any help or leads would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.
Ryan.

Ryan,
You can do it directly using the plsql webtoolkit. The important thing is that you'll have to pass the mime type of the image file before you write the contents to the browser. Else, the browser will not know how to handle the binary data.
Retrieve the image into a local blob, loop thru it till the end of the file size retrieving small chunks of data and write it directly to the browser using htp.prn. And dont forget to close the mime header using the owa_util.http_header_close;
