HOW TO - load images into new Oracle 8 datatype ?

Hi - has anyone tried to load JPG file(s) using the new BLOB supported in Oracle 8 ?

I would imagine one uses SqlLoader but of course my (old) manual doesn't say anything about it. A simple example would be greatly appreciated.

It would be even better if someone knows how to write a procedure of some kind to load 'all the JPGs in a given directory' (in Unix) as there are some thousands to be done.
