Required/Optional required
Usage Notes
- The default Oracle image storage format no longer is valid.
- The value you set for this property will override the original format of
an image when the record containing the image item is stored in the database.
- Oracle Forms does not support multi-page TIFF.
For example, if an image item's Image Format property is set to GIF, and a
TIFF image is pasted into the image item at runtime, the pasted image will
be stored in GIF format when the record is saved to the database.
