Hi ,

i have a procedure to open the BFILE data.

CREATE OR REPLACE procedure openmyfile as

lob_loc bfile;

filesize number;

 lob_loc bfile:=bfilename('IMG','a.jpg');

begin

--select f_lob into lob_loc from lob_table where key_value=21;

dbms_lob.fileopen(lob_loc,dbms_lob.file_readonly);

dbms_lob.fileclose(lob_loc);

filesize:=dbms_lob.getlength(lob_loc);

dbms_output.put_line(filesize);

end;

procedure compiles w/o errors and when i execute the procedure it does w/o any errors but it doesn't open the file.

i have the procedure on the sun server and also the jpg file.i am trying to execute the procedure from oracle

client but it doens't open the file but just just o/ps the filesize.what is that i need to do to make the file open on

the client m/c.i understand that the file "a.jpg" should open.Am I missing anything?
