The docs for Oracle Reports 6i state that it doesn't yet support LOBs - after emphatically touting LOBs over LONG and LONG RAW. What a two-faced bunch of hype!

Does anyone know of a reporting tool that does support LOBs?

Also, does anyone know how to get a BLOB (much larger than 32KB) into a LONG RAW column other than external C or Java routines? There is absolutely no straightforward SQL or PL/SQL way that I can find.

Thanks.

Jack
