I haven't loaded myself; but there >is mention of a downloadable demo at >http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/xml/xmldb/index.html XDB can store a file in a specific table only if it is a XML document which is based on a specific XML Schema AND you have an XMLType table/column based on the same XML Schema. >> ftp server_name port >> >> # Then use normal ftp commands... >> cd resumes >> bin >> put 134564.doc >> bye Since in this case it is a DOC, it will be stored in a "container" table. Then you can access it through RESOURCE_VIEW or PATH_VIEW. HTH Chris -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
