The new BFILE datatype in Oracle8 is designed to manage disk files. The file resides on disk in the Operating System file system, and Oracle maintains pointers to it in a table column.
Documentation of Oracle datatypes may be found in the Oracle8 Application
Developer's Guide. This and other documentation is available at the Oracle
Technology Network website at
