Re: Upload file to database table with OWAS

Hello,

if you use an Oracle 8 Database, you can import binary (or other) data into a BLOB column. For upload you can use the DBMS_LOB Package (see manual). New with Oracle8 is also the BFILE - Datatype (external file in your filesystem). I actually use it to import Images into the database.
