All, I have a client that has a requirement to put files (text
documents, bitmaps, excel spreadsheets) into an Oracle database from
desktop applications. For simplicity for the users what I want to
offer is a product that maps a network drive as a simple database
table containing, for example, the filename and the file (a blob),
giving the impression that the table is a disk drive.
Is anyone aware of an existing commercial product that would enable me
to "copy files from the desktop to, for example, the H: drive" when
really what is being done is importing a file from the desktop to a
blob in a database table.
Thank you
