Hi,

        I would like to know the best book (for " Starters " & application developers). I have "Oracle7 The Complete Reference" by George Koch wih me. I would like to know if there are any other good books that deal with examples on how to biuld applications in Oracle.

        Also I am trying to create a table with a "Large" datatype. How can I "Insert" an UNIX file into this column. For Eg,

	CREATE TABLE EXAMPLE (id            number not null,
			      file 	    large);
	insert into EXAMPLE values (1, ??);
