Oracle field in Report

rbuser

Hi,

I am having trouble to display the Oracle blob field in Report. I am using
DBRichtext control. The blob field contains text data. But in the report
it's showing junk characters... I am using Report Builder V11.08

Any help,

Thanks

Hi Melvin,

We have not seen this behavior before. Which connectivity are you using to
connect to the Oracle DB? Are you certain the field contains richtext data?
If you take ReportBuilder out of the equation and connect the BLOB field to
a TDBRichText on a form, are you able to successfully see the RichText?

Hi Cizik,

Thanks for the reply. Sorry to come here in a hurry yesterday. As you
indicated. The problem was with the data. The oracle database belongs to an
SAP system. The blob field contain data in their own format. Couldn't get
details about the format. There is a function they provided to retrieve the
text out of the blob. So it should fix the issue..

Thanks again...
