title: File browse Item uploading to BLOB column
body: <p>One of the tables in my DB has a BLOB column that stores images. So now I am setting up the page for this table. I have a bunch of IGs and such to process most of the data, but I set up a modal page to process the image.</p>
  
  <p>The modal page gets the ID (which is the PK) into an item, and then it reads the image currently in the table into a 'Display Image' item. And I have a 'File browse...' item to upload new images.</p>
  
  <p>Except I cannot get it to save.</p>
  
  <p>I initially started with the display image item just having Setting Based on : BLOB column returned by SQL statement, as I couldn't get the source to work with the SQL query(Error Expected CHAR, source is BLOB), I managed to resolve this by putting automatic row processing on the page and then having the source be a column.</p>
  
  <p>So now it displays well, with no errors.</p>
  
  <p>But the save does nothing. I have tried saving by having the File browse reference the column and using automatic row processing, and there is just nothing. No errors pop up, but it just does nothing.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried saving to APEX_APPLICATION_TEMP_FILES and then having a PLSQL DA or a PLSQL process to </p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT blob_content 
    FROM APEX_APPLICATION_TEMP_FILES
   WHERE name = :FILE_BROWSER_ITEM
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And insert this into the table, but it just pops up a 'No data found' error.</p>
  
  <p>I have gone through every bit of intel my google-fu has found, but I have failed to find a solution.</p>
  
  <p>So I would appreciate any insight any of you might have.</p>
