AFAIK, There isn't such a package or procedure in Oracle up to Oracle9i release.<br />
<br />
But This does NOT mean that you cannot accomplish such a task.<br />
<br />
Using java is certainly an good option. For example, Oreilly's classic file upload servlets can do that.<br />
<br />
as for the file attachment storage in the oracle database, you have two options:<br />
<br />
1. you can store the file contents in the LOB field.<br />
2. you can also store the file as the OS file on the machine where Oracle server is running.<br />

&quot;seazodiac&quot; Thanks for the reply.<br />
However, in Oracle Applications there is a &quot;paperclip&quot; you can click on to attach a file. I was just hoping to find out what the exact procedure or how indeed Oracle accomplishes this. And where does it store the actual file.(probably in a Blob...as you mentioned)

Oracle Applications attachments procedure

Its primary languages are SQL, PL/SQL and Java, but it also includes support for C and C++. Oracle also has its own enterprise modules and application server software.
