Hi All, I want to load few image files into Oracle BLOB columns and later would Iike to extract it & write in a file. How to load & extract an Image(TIF) file into/from Oracle-BLOB?, am using dbms_lob.loadfromfile() to load into Oracle. I'm retrieving thru dbms_lob.read and writing using utl_file.put, I'm not able to write in a file. How can I retrieve this..?When I try to retrieve it say File Handle error. If this image file operation is successful, I have few Word/Execl files to follow-on! Any help in this regard is highly appreciated! TIA, Best Regards, THIAGU --------------------------------- Yahoo!
