Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Populating BLOB's from a SQL Script?
Hi List,
I have been asked to look into the possibility of populating a BLOB column (Oracle 8i currently) using an SQL Script. All the examples I've ever seen involve reading the blob from a file and inserting it directly to the table though.
The reasoning behind this is the desire to deliver a single script which loads perhaps 50 images into a table. Performance isn't a problem, neither is the size of the script.
Does anyone know of a way to do this? It is safe to assume the data already exists in a table if that helps to create the script. I was thinking perhaps a "rawtohex" type function may convert the binary data into something that can exist within a script. Am I on the right track?
Regards,
Mark.
