Blobs

[huntbill]

Hello,
I am new to both Delphi and Direct Oracle. I need to select and insert blob data into a table. I have found code snippets on this site and in the help but I haven't been able to get them to work. Can someone post a full procedure that would help me get started?
Thanks,
Bill

Are you posting a record through a TOracleDataSet (in which case the Oracle8 BLOB is treated as any other TBLOBField) or are you inserting a record in a TOracleQuery in combination with a TLOBLocator? Where is the binary data coming from that you want to insert?

I'm not doing it anyway yet. Since I am new I'm trying to find out the best way to take a file(in this case tiff) and insert it into a long varbinary field(and also get the file out). Preferably code I could put into a DLL to get images in and out of the DB. I have written similar functions in VB and I was wondering if someone had a functions for Delphi.

Thanks,
Bill
