In-Depth Information
In the control file, the
LOBFILE
keyword was specified; it declares that the next
field to load is a CLOB field (
A
) which takes
file_name
(
B
) as a parameter. The first
column of the data file is just a regular numeric column; the second column stands
for the LOB file name. This format is suitable for loading image and multimedia files,
which by nature are found as standalone files.
Once the files have been loaded it is possible to use any BLOB viewer to retrieve
them from the database. By means of a BLOB viewer, a GIF or JPEG can be retrieved
and displayed on a regular browser, just like any other image.
