Large Data Editor

[Jue]

Hi, I have some questions on using Large Data Editor.

I was able to fire up Large Data Editor when I first time click the combo button to edit in the result grid on SQL Window, I was prompted to choose a program to edit .pdf file. I set to use Adobe Reader to open .pdf file, and I also chose to open automatically using Adobe. Now, I want to play more on image files, but I could not find a way to open with Large Data Editor, even the was an image type, Adobe Reader got initialized and of course hit an error while trying to open it up. Since I never be able to open the Large Data Editor thereafter, I can not reproduce the problem. So, excuse me if my description is not quite accurate.

The version of PL/SQL developer is 6.0.5.926. Both Oracle Server and Client are 9.2i.

Please help and let me know what else I need to provide.

Thanks,

-Jue

The implicit association between a column and an external application is based on the table.column name. If a BLOB can contain multiple formats (e.g. images and pdf files), then you should not use this implicit association.

To remove an implicit association, hold down the Ctrl-key when opening the BLOB column and uncheck the "Execute automatically next time" option.

Thank Marco for the reply. It works, except that I have to manually click "execute" on the "External" page to open the .pdf file using Adobe, which is also different from my understanding. I thought a proper application would be launched based on the file extension.

Good to know.

Thanks again!

No, you always have to press "Execute", unless you enable the "Execute automatically next time" option.
