XDB can store a file in a specific table only if it is a XML document = which is based on a specific XML Schema AND you have an XMLType = table/column based on the same XML Schema.

Since in this case it is a DOC, it will be stored in a "container" = table. Then you can access it through RESOURCE_VIEW or PATH_VIEW.
