This video is a bit longer than most, but I’ll show you how to deploy a web service to: get a list of files from a table – stored as BLOBs get individual file details download/render the file using the mime type how to upload a file how to generate LINKs in your {json} responses how to set the HTTP …
It’s easier to run things unsecured. It’s unconscionable to run things unsecured. DON’T BE THIS GUY. So Let’s Secure My Database and my Web Services So I have a collection of REST enabled objects (tables, view, and procedures) and a SLEW of RESTful Service modules. I want ALL of them locked down. So I need to create a Role and …
After presenting this topic a few times over the years, I decided on a different take this Spring: I would start by introducing some requirements for a new project, and how ORDS fits into that and delivers what you need. I’ve also embedded our latest 15 minute video demonstration – enjoy! REST Enabling your Oracle Database (2018 Update) from Jeff …
I don’t normally blog on a Sunday, but I’m confined to my bed/couch for the next few days, so I might as well answer another question! This from the YouTube: “Hi Jeff, Can you please share similar example where REST service is calling a package.procedure with IN and OUT parameters and we can pass IN parameters to get the result?” …
When you AUTO-REST enable table in ORDS, we publish a full API for you: We auto find your Primary Key Column and use that to address particular rows (items) in your table (collection.) But..what happens if you don’t have a primary key? CREATE TABLE no_keys (letter CHAR(1), letters VARCHAR2(25), numbers INTEGER); INSERT INTO no_keys VALUES (’a’, ‘abc’, 1); INSERT …
The Automatic REST features in ORDS are very handy for getting started quickly with providing REST APIs to your data and stored procedures. Give me the data for an employee. Easy. REST enable the schema. REST enable the table. DO a GET on /ords/schema/table/id. But…I don’t want a ‘null’ in my JSON collection for value pair “commission_pct.” What’s an Oracle …
You can now file bugs, sorry – submit Issues, for me on GitHub 🙂 What We’re Doing The intent is to build a nice library of How-To’s for ORDS. I’ve started with a section on PARAMETERS. ords-demo-parameters Build scripts to demonstrate working with parameters in your Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) RESTful Services. This will demonstrate how to: Read a …
So you’ve installed ORDS, you’ve REST enabled a schema, and you’ve started publishing some RESTful Services. Now, how do we go about seeing what’s what? You could browse… You could search… Or you could query the data dictionary! I’m going to look at USER_ORDS…stuff. We have _MODULES, _TEMPLATES, and _HANDLERS – most of what you’ll want is there. SELECT name, …
I wrote recently about using REST to upload a file to your table with ORDS. I want to extend that and share more code. I want you to see how to not only load the pics, but then how to get a collection of items, with links to those items, and in this case, also links to the media (pics) …
It seems kind of weird to do a blog post around a feature that’s fairly well documented, but this came up twice this week, so I figured I’d throw it out there. Scenario: I want to post up a record to be inserted into a table. The record will consist of a couple of regular values, but also a file, …
