No way.
You have to write a "small program". ESQL/C or Java-JDBC is fine.

If you are using Smart BLOBS (IDS 9.x requested) you can use two nice
functions to "select" and "write" (insert) those BLOBs called "lotofile"
and "filetoblob". For syntax look at the SQL Syntax Guide from the Answer
Online.

Hi,

if you want to use "dbaccess", you might use
the "LOAD" statement instead of an INSERT.
Otherwise -> see answer from "Uwe"
