Download file directly from DB server file system

FileDownloadLink plugin render download link if file exists on DB server file system or custom message if it doesn't.

Reason why using file system rather than table for storing files could be saving DB space (Oracle XE) or working with Oracle COM automation feature.

Custom attributes of this plugin are:

  • Directory name of file to download,
  • Filename of file to download,
  • MIME type of file to download,
  • Link text: The string that goes between the <A> and </A> tags,
  • Schema of download procedure,
  • Package of download procedure,
  • Name of download procedure.

As you can see you should implement download procedure with specific interface. See Special Requirements section or readme.txt from RAR. 

For upload file "directly" to file system you can use SaveToDisk process plugin
Special Requirements
User must have privilege to execute UTL_FILE package and must have read access to directory with file to download.
Write and compile download procedure with interface:

procedure DownloadFile(
P_APP_ID number,
P_DIRECTORY VARCHAR2,
P_FILENAME VARCHAR2,
P_MIMETYPE varchar2 default null
);
You can include procedure in a package.
Sample is included in RAR in file DownloadFileProcedure.sql.

You need to allow DownloadFile procedure to be called from URL. It's in readme.txt file from line 21 to 35.

Hi!

When I try to download file I've got message:

The requested URL /apex/WS1.DOWNLOADFILE was not found on this server where WS1 - is my scheme. Could you help me? How should I deploy DownloadFile procedure?

Readme.txt from installation package is not complete at this point. It assumes that you are using EPG. This should work if you are using APEX listener:
grant execute on "APEX_040200"."WWV_FLOW_EPG_INCLUDE_MOD_LOCAL" to APEX_PUBLIC_USER; --maybe this is not necessary
grant execute on "DownloadFile" to APEX_PUBLIC_USER;

If this don't work or you are using mod_plsql search posts and articles with: "oracle apex call stored procedure url" .

My Mistake

I exported this plug-in with APEX 4.1. Obviously I should select minimal APEX version as 4.1 at the beginning. All plug-in code is in FileDownloadLink.sql in RAR. You can use it to create your plug-in. If you will have time, export it and send me file.

Thanks

Hi there, I tried to install the plugin with Apex 4.0.2.00.09 running on Server 2008 R2, and successfully imported it but get an error message when Installing "NOT COMPATIBLE (Your export may contain calls not supported by your application version.)."

Has the plugin been modified or a I failing to see something blindingly obvious.

Thanks
Mark
