Need RTF template to use url:{LOGO_PATH} syntax to show image
Hi Folks.
I have company logos stored in my database as JPEG files in a BLOB column.
I can upload and download these with no problem.
What I'd like to do is return these BLOB images (one per row of data) to a report Template (RTF Named Columns) which then gets generated as a PDF file.
At the moment, if I include the BLOB image in the query, the resulting XML file states...
<LOGO>[unsupported data type]</LOGO>
.. at the location of the LOGO element.
Do I need to do something different to get the BLOB data output or is it simply not possible to do this?
My alternative would be to save the logo to a www server and build in the logo URL to the template. Not sure if I could specify a dynamic URL though as the logos would change from row to row being reported.
Any thoughts/comments appreciated.
