How do i go about saving a binary file, such as a word file in the database?
I may have to define datatypes as BLOBS but what about getting the file into
the datatype? Any ideas?

In Oracle 8i it is very easy. Put the documents in the new Oracle File System
and from there by using the build in Package DBMS_LOB into the database.

OK. It sounds easy. But is it. At the client, I have the document. What do I
have to do to get in to the "Oracle File System"? Do I FTP it to a directory so
that the LOB can pick it up? Does DBMS_LOB really pick it up at the client
machine? How about Web base vs. C/S?
