Hi !

Did anyone ever succeed to unload a contents of a BLOB to a file ?

I succeed to do it for CLOB or even for BLOB which contains text using = DBMS_LOB and UTL_FILE .

But UTL_FILE may be used only for TEXT data .

And what about pictures or other raw data ?

I load the pictures into DB from a file with SQL*Loader or via BFILE - = no problems .
But i did not find a way to write into a BFILE from BLOB and i can't use = UTL_FILE for binary data .
Any ideas ?

Thanks a lot in advance .
