Hi,
You cannot use a CLOB (Character Large Object) to store JPEG images; you need to use a BLOB (Binary Large Object) or LONG RAW column.
It would probably be best to load your images from the FORMS application. You can use the Forms READ_IMAGE_FILE() built-in to populate an IMAGE ITEM and then COMMIT it to the database. Look at this example:
READ_IMAGE_FILE('jpeg_file_name', 'JFIF', 'block.image_item');
COMMIT_FORM;
BTW: It would be best to post your FORMS problems to the Tools (Forms and Reports) Forum!
Best regards.
