Hi ALL,
Do you know if I can use SQL Loader to load the CLOB or BLOB type of data into a database and how to do that?

(I am using the Oracle9i.)

Thanks,

Angela

believe, you meant I CAN'T.
The link works, it needs free registration. Pick your version, look for utilities manual.

You can use SQL*Loader to bulk load objects, collections, and LOBs. It is assumed that you are familiar with the concept of objects and with Oracle's implementation of object support as described in Oracle9i Database Concepts and in the Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide.

9r2 release of SQL*Loader supports loading of four LOB types:

BLOB: a LOB containing unstructured binary data
CLOB: a LOB containing character data
NCLOB: a LOB containing characters in a database national character set
BFILE: a BLOB stored outside of the database tablespaces in a server-side operating system file
LOBs can be column datatypes, and with the exception of the NCLOB, they can be an object's attribute datatypes. LOBs can have an actual value, they can be null, or they can be "empty."

Cheers,
NK
