Re: Oracle WebServer and images

[Quoted] We're developing web sites in Oracle and you cannot use images stored in the database because you cannot select 'LONG' in PL/SQL.

But the workaround we use is fine -

Just set up an images table with the graphics' attributes and locations on the server and use a procedure to call them into your pages. There's no need to store them on the database for a web site, since the people viewing your site won't know where they come from anyway - your html will piece it all together!
