The Image Cartridge is installed under the database user ORDSYS. This
user is created during installation and is subject to change in future
beta or production releases.
THE FUNCTIONS, PACKAGES AND TYPES SUPPLIED BY THIS PACKAGE AND ITS EXTERNAL
INTERFACE ARE RESERVED BY ORACLE AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE IN FUTURE RELEASES.
THIS PACKAGE MUST NOT BE MODIFIED BY THE CUSTOMER. DOING SO
COULD CAUSE INTERNAL ERRORS AND SECURITY VIOLATIONS
IN THE DBMS.
If you created database objects during the installation of the Image
Cartridge, the password for the ORDSYS user may have been written to the log
file. This will happen if you attempt to re-install the image cartridge
database objects more than one time. Please check
your installation log files.
=======================
Getting Started
===============
Oracle8 Image Cartridge Production Release 8.0.5
================================================
Provides for the storage, retrieval, and processing of two dimensional,
static bit-mapped images. Images are stored efficiently using popular
compression schemes in industry standard desktop publishing image
interchange formats.
Oracle8 Image Cartridge Documentation
=====================================
Complete online documentation is available on the documentation CD that
shipped with the Oracle8 server.
Installing Oracle8 Image Cartridge
==================================
Prior to installing Oracle8 Image Cartridge, you must first install the
Oracle8 Server. If you installed Oracle8 Image Cartridge during the
same installation as Oracle8 Server, you do not have to perform the
procedures in this section; Oracle8 Image Cartridge was automatically
configured for you.
Oracle8 Image Cartridge is an extension of Oracle8 Enterprise Edition
that provides image storage, retrieval, and format conversion capabilities
through an object data type (ODT).

The default password for the ORDSYS user during automatic installation is
'ORDSYS'.

3.1 Install the non-database components for the Oracle8 Image Cartridge,
using the Oracle Installer.
3.2 Create the ORDSYS account.
Start Server Manager.
-> C:> svrmgr30
Connect to the database with the INTERNAL password:
-> SVRMGR> connect internal
Create the ORDSYS account. Use the password you gave in Section 1.
-> SVRMGR> create user ORDSYS identified by <ORDSYS password>;
3.3 Grant privileges to the ORDSYS account.
Grant the following privileges to the ORDSYS account:
-> SVRMGR> grant connect,resource,create library to ORDSYS;
3.4 Create the image library.
-> SVRMGR> connect ORDSYS/<ORDSYS password>

'<ORACLE_HOME>\bin\ordimg80.dll';
where <ORACLE_HOME> is the ORACLE_HOME directory.
Note: The exact name of this library is operating system dependent.
See the installation and configuration guide for your operating
system for the exact file name.
3.5 Create the Image Cartridge.
-> SVRMGR> connect ORDSYS/<ORDSYS password>
Create the Image Cartridge:
-> SVRMGR> @%ORACLE_HOME%\ord80\img\admin\ordispec.sql
-> SVRMGR> @%ORACLE_HOME%\ord80\img\admin\ordibody.plb
where <ORACLE_HOME> is the ORACLE_HOME directory.

=======================
Installing the Demo
===================
Once you have installed the image cartridge, you may choose to
install the image cartridge demo. This section contains the steps
required to install the image cartridge demo.

<ORACLE_HOME> is the ORACLE_HOME directory.
1 Installation Steps
--------------------

user does not exist, you must create it:
Start Server Manager.
-> C:> svrmgr30
Connect to the database with the INTERNAL password:
-> SVRMGR> connect internal;
Create the SCOTT user.
-> SVRMGR> create user SCOTT identified by tiger;
-> SVRMGR> grant connect,resource to SCOTT;
-> SVRMGR> exit;
1.2 Create the image demo directory:
Start Server Manager.

Connect to the database with the INTERNAL password:
-> SVRMGR> connect internal;
Create the image demo directory:
-> SVRMGR> create or replace directory imgdemodir
as '<ORACLE_HOME>\ord80\img\demo';
where <ORACLE_HOME> is the ORACLE_HOME
directory.
1.3 Grant privileges on the directory to PUBLIC:
SVRMGR> grant read on directory imgdemodir
to public with grant option;
