Querying table with BFILE

[yrajesh]

I have a table x with 1 column of datatype BFILE.I've stored a word document in that table.How can I select the contents of the table.
1.Is it possible to view the contents of the doc.If yes,how.
2.How can I see the location(path)where the doc is stored.

Thanks.

Rajesh.
