Usage Notes

You can override the automatic setting of MIME information by calling this method with a specified MIME value.

Calling this method implicitly calls the setUpdateTime( ) method.

The method setProperties( ) calls this method implicitly.

For image objects, the methods process( ) and processCopy( ) also call this method implicitly.

Pragmas

None.

Exceptions

<object-type>Exceptions.INVALID_MIME_TYPE

This exception is raised if you call the setMimeType( ) method and the value for the mime parameter is NULL.

This exception can be raised by ORDAudio, ORDDoc, or ORDVideo object types. Replace <object-type> with the object type to which you apply this method.

Examples

Set the MIME type for some stored data:

DECLARE
  obj ORDSYS.ORDAudio;
BEGIN
 SELECT p.product_audio INTO obj FROM pm.online_media p
  WHERE p.product_id = 1733 FOR UPDATE;
 DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('writing current mimetype');
 DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('----------------');
 DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(obj.getMimeType);
 DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('setting and writing new mimetype');
 DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('----------------');
 obj.setMimeType('audio/basic');
 DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(obj.getMimeType);
 UPDATE pm.online_media p SET p.product_audio = obj WHERE p.product_id = 1733;
 COMMIT;
END;
