Oracle Applications attachments procedure
Anyone know what procedure Oracle Applications uses to attach files? Also where and what type of table does it use to store file attachments?
Anyone got an idea? Has it something to do with the fnd_attachments tables???
Please help URGENT...MAX points here!!!

"seazodiac" Thanks for the reply.
However, in Oracle Applications there is a "paperclip" 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)

You are quite welcome! Rock on...
But This does NOT mean that you cannot accomplish such a task.
Using java is certainly an good option. For example, Oreilly's classic file upload servlets can do that.
as for the file attachment storage in the oracle database, you have two options:
1. you can store the file contents in the LOB field.
2. you can also store the file as the OS file on the machine where Oracle server is running.
