Display Image from BLOB Column (again and probably a FAQ)

Mark WilliamsJan 8 2017 — edited Jan 9 2017

Hello APEX Folks,

I previously had a properly functioning page which displayed images stored in a BLOB column in a table. It also allowed for file downloads. This was originally done using the technique described in Joel Kallman's following blog post:

Yet Another Post How to Link to Download a File or Display an Image from a BLOB column

However, this recently broke and I am not sure if the reason is due to ORDS upgrade/changes or what - I'm clearly a casual APEX user at this point.

I'm sure everyone knows how this manifests itself on a page, but here's a sample nonetheless:

Is the technique described in Joel's blog post no longer a valid method of doing this? Is the use of RESTful service the only way for this to work now?

A RTFM (Read The Fine Manual) reply is fine... as long as I know which manual to read!

Regards,

Mark
