Hi!

I am new to working with LOBs. I want to insert data (through SQL or PL/SQL) into a table that looks like this:

column1 varchar2(100)
column2 BLOB
column3 number

How can I insert data into that table directly?

insert into table (column1, colum2, column3) values ('sample text', ?????, 12345);

The BLOB can be a TXT-file or GIF-picture or bmp-picture. The file is locally stored on the hard drive.

This is 8.1.6 on Win2k.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Helmut
