Hi Robert;

   I have not personally done this with Oracle .. but, my guess is that you may need to use the UpdateBlob command.

BTW: What error(s) are you getting?

If data string size is under 4k it works fine. If data is over 4k I get...

ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into LONG column.

How are you connecting to Oracle ... via ODBC?

No, ODBC will not let me even select the column.  I am using ORA Oracle.  It has the Metadata Type XMLType.

BTW  UpdateBlob errors with....

SELECTBLOB/UPDATEBLOB is valid only for LONG, RAW and LONG RAW datatypes. (108)
