How can I insert into a BLOB column from an insert statement in sqldeveloper?
Is it possible to insert into a BLOB column in oracle using sqldeveloper? i.e. something like: insert into mytable(id, myblob) values (1,'some magic here'); Yes, it's possible, e.g. using the implicit conversion from RAW to BLOB: insert into blob_fun values(1, hextoraw('453d7a34')); 453d7a34 is a string of hexadecimal values, which is first explicitly converted to the RAW data type and then inserted into the BLOB column. The result is a BLOB value of 4 bytes. To insert a VARCHAR2 into a BLOB column you can rely on the function utl_raw.cast_to_raw as next: insert into mytable(id, myblob) values
