I think you should not post a link to OP, you should let him try all the syntaxes he can imagine, maybe one day, in the next century, he will in the end find a working one. Razz

Maybe some Oracle developer sees the syntax he posted, and thinks "Hey, that's a good idea" and implements that syntax in Version 20.X in the next century. Very Happy

Theology notwithstanding, the most straightforwards way to do it from Pl/Sql is this:

1) Create a Directoyr that points to the physical directory holding the Zip file
2) Create a Bfile locator that points to the zip file
3) Use Dbms_Lob.loadfromfile to load the dats from this Bfile into the BLOB.

here's an example
