If you use CLOB, you can insert text in the same way as with varchar2. If you have BLOB, you'll probably need the function utl_raw or dbms_lob. However with BFILE, you should create a directory with the stmt: CREATE DIRECTORY and insert using BFILENAME expression. Then you have the function EMPTY_BLOB() or EMPTY_CLOB to set them without a value.

An example

SQL> desc kk

 Nombre                                    żNulo?   Tipo
 ----------------------------------------- --------
----------------------------
 A                                                  CLOB
 B                                                  BLOB

SQL> r
  1 insert into kk
  2* values ('PUMAS',utl_raw.cast_to_raw(' are the best rugby team'))

1 fila creada.

Regards.
