Hy,i have already tried with OTN forums and on Metalink but
unsuccesfully....

I'm trying to get images out of an Oracle database with a Java/Jdbc
application.
It was inserted using Oracle Forms "image item" (TIFF format), and is
in a LONG RAW column. (i.e. was inserted with write_image_file).
I can get the raw data fine, but I don't know what format it is in,
the file is not a TIFF or JPEG.
Opening the file readed from database with an HEX editor (like
ultraedit-32) we can read ".......Oracle Multimedia Toolkit, 2.1...".
Does anyone know where I can find a technical description of the
format, or if there are any APIs that would let me do it?
