Hi,
I am working with Oracle 9i and using BLOB in a PL/SQL procedure. To
define it, I execute following steps:
- the directory alias will be created with the command CREATE
DIRECTORY
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY "dir_uti" AS '/utility';
- a BFILE will be defined using the function BFILENAME
Lob_loc BFILE;
...
Lob_loc := BFILENAME('dir_uti', 'testfile.sql');
- and this BFILE will be loaded into the BLOB.
rep_lob BLOB;
...
DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY (rep_lob, true);
DBMS_LOB.loadfromfile (rep_lob, Lob_loc, DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH
(Lob_loc));
This goes well, if I reference a file, which is stored on the same
server as the database. But we have a client – server installation of
the database and I need to reference files, which are stored on the
client. Is it possible to define a directory which points to an
another computer? Or have I to move all the files on the server?
Many thanks for the help.
Sonja
