Loader Images

Help me, please (again)

I have 1400 images (photos) that necessary to insert in the data base, however, in the documentation, vi as to insert one by one, do not have form to insert all of a time?


Steps to load binary files into a raw field.

1. Create your table with a raw field.

SQLWKS>create table ImageTable (FileName varchar(30), BinaryFile long raw);
Statement processed.
SQLWKS> desc imagetable
Column Name Null? Type
------------------------------ -------- ----
FILENAME VARCHAR2(30)
BINARYFILE LONG RAW

2. Create your control file using the 'FIX' file processing option.
Note: The 'FIX' size is the size of the binary file. This
processing option is mentioned in the Oracle7 Server Getting Started
manual for Windows NT

C:\TEMP> TYPE LOADBIN.CTL
load data infile data.dat "fix12350"
APPEND into table ImageTable (fileName constant 'DATA.DAT',BinaryFile raw (12350))

3. Run SQL*Loader to insert data.
C:\TEMP> SQLLDR73 SCOTT/TIGER CONTROL=CONTROL.CTL
SQL*Loader : Release 7.3.3.0.0 - Production on Mon May 26 14:39:13 1997

I'm not sure if 8i and 9i supports long raw data anymore, try using LOB's.

The problem is not the TYPE of data and yes the insertion of many images (each image is an archive JPG)
