This chapter describes APIs for operations that use BFILEs. APIs covered in this chapter are listed in Table 15-1.
The following information is given for each operation described in this chapter:
Note: LOB APIs do not support loading data into BFILEs. See Using SQL*Loader to Load LOBs for details on techniques for loading data into BFILEs. |
Table 15-1, "Environments Supported for BFILE APIs" indicates which programmatic environments are supported for the APIs discussed in this chapter. The first column describes the operation that the API performs. The remaining columns indicate with "Yes" or "No" whether the API is supported in PL/SQL, OCI, COBOL, Pro*C, Visual Basic (VB), and JDBC.
To access BFILEs use one of the following interfaces:
See Also:
Chapter 6, "Overview of Supplied LOB APIs" for information about supported environments for accessing BFILEs. |
The DIRECTORY
object facilitates administering access and usage of BFILE
datatypes (see CREATE
DIRECTORY
in Oracle Database SQL Reference). A DIRECTORY
object specifies a logical alias name for a physical directory on the database server file system under which the file to be accessed is located. You can access a file in the server file system only if granted the required access privilege on DIRECTORY
object.
The DIRECTORY
object also provides the flexibility to manage the locations of the files, instead of forcing you to hard code the absolute path names of physical files in your applications. A directory object name is used in conjunction with the BFILENAME
() function, in SQL and PL/SQL, or the OCILobFileSetName
(), in OCI for initializing a BFILE
locator.
To associate an operating system file to a BFILE
, first create a DIRECTORY
object which is an alias for the full path name to the operating system file.
To associate existing operating system files with relevant database records of a particular table use Oracle SQL DML (Data Manipulation Language). For example:
INSERT
to initialize a BFILE
column to point to an existing file in the server file systemUPDATE
to change the reference target of the BFILE
BFILE
to NULL
and then update it later to refer to an operating system file using the BFILENAME
() function.OCILobFileSetName
() to initialize a BFILE
locator variable that is then used in the VALUES
clause of an INSERT
statement.The following statements associate the files Image1.gif
and image2.gif
with records having key_value
of 21 and 22 respectively. 'IMG
' is a DIRECTORY
object that represents the physical directory under which Image1.gif
and image2.gif
are stored.
Note: You may need to set up data structures similar to the following for certain examples to work: CREATE TABLE Lob_table ( Key_value NUMBER NOT NULL, F_lob BFILE) |
INSERT INTO Lob_table VALUES (21, BFILENAME('IMG', 'Image1.gif')); INSERT INTO Lob_table VALUES (22, BFILENAME('IMG', 'image2.gif'));
The following UPDATE
statement changes the target file to image3.gif
for the row with key_value
22.
UPDATE Lob_table SET f_lob = BFILENAME('IMG', 'image3.gif') WHERE Key_value = 22;
BFILENAME
() is a built-in function that you use to initialize a BFILE
column to point to an external file.
Once physical files are associated with records using SQL DML, subsequent read operations on the BFILE
can be performed using PL/SQL DBMS_LOB
package and OCI. However, these files are read-only when accessed through BFILES
, and so they cannot be updated or deleted through BFILES
.
As a consequence of the reference-based semantics for BFILEs
, it is possible to have multiple BFILE
columns in the same record or different records referring to the same file. For example, the following UPDATE
statements set the BFILE
column of the row with key_value
21 in lob_table
to point to the same file as the row with key_value
22.
UPDATE lob_table SET f_lob = (SELECT f_lob FROM lob_table WHERE key_value = 22) WHERE key_value = 21;
Think of BFILENAME() in terms of initialization -- it can initialize the value for the following:
Using the BFILE
datatype has the following advantages:
BFILE
is temporary and scoped just within the module on which you are working, then you can use the BFILE
related APIs on the variable without ever having to associate this with a column in the database.BFILE
column in a server side table, initialize this column value, and then retrieve this column value using a SELECT
, you save a round-trip to the server.For more information, refer to the example given for DBMS_LOB
.LOADFROMFILE
(see "Loading a LOB with BFILE Data").
The OCI counterpart for BFILENAME
() is OCILobFileSetName
(), which can be used in a similar fashion.
The naming convention for DIRECTORY
objects is the same as that for tables and indexes. That is, normal identifiers are interpreted in uppercase, but delimited identifiers are interpreted as is. For example, the following statement:
CREATE DIRECTORY scott_dir AS '/usr/home/scott';
creates a directory object whose name is 'SCOTT_DIR
' (in uppercase). But if a delimited identifier is used for the DIRECTORY
name, as shown in the following statement
CREATE DIRECTORY "Mary_Dir" AS '/usr/home/mary';
then the directory object name is 'Mary_Dir
'. Use 'SCOTT_DIR
' and 'Mary_Dir
' when calling BFILENAME
(). For example:
BFILENAME('SCOTT_DIR', 'afile') BFILENAME('Mary_Dir', 'afile')
On Windows NT, for example, the directory names are case-insensitive. Therefore the following two statements refer to the same directory:
CREATE DIRECTORY "big_cap_dir" AS "g:\data\source"; CREATE DIRECTORY "small_cap_dir" AS "G:\DATA\SOURCE";
This section introduces the BFILE
security model and associated SQL statements. The main SQL statements associated with BFILE
security are:
CREATE
and REPLACE
or ALTER
a DIRECTORY
objectGRANT
and REVOKE
the READ
system and object privileges on DIRECTORY
objectsThe DIRECTORY
object is a system owned object. For more information on system owned objects, see Oracle Database SQL Reference. Oracle Database supports two new system privileges, which are granted only to DBA:
CREATE
ANY
DIRECTORY
-- for creating or altering the directory object creationDROP
ANY
DIRECTORY
-- for deleting the directory objectREAD
permission on the DIRECTORY
object enables you to read files located under that directory. The creator of the DIRECTORY
object automatically earns the READ
privilege.
If you have been granted the READ
permission with GRANT
option, then you may in turn grant this privilege to other users/roles and add them to your privilege domains.
Note: The |
The physical directory that it represents may or may not have the corresponding operating system privileges (read in this case) for the Oracle Server process.
It is the responsibility of the DBA to ensure the following:
The privilege just implies that as far as the Oracle Server is concerned, you may read from files in the directory. These privileges are checked and enforced by the PL/SQL DBMS_LOB
package and OCI APIs at the time of the actual file operations.
Refer to the Oracle Database SQL Reference for information about the following SQL DDL statements that create, replace, and drop directory objects:
Refer to the Oracle Database SQL Reference for information about the following SQL DML statements that provide security for BFILE
s:
GRANT
(system privilege)GRANT
(object privilege)REVOKE
(system privilege)REVOKE
(object privilege)AUDIT
(new statements)AUDIT
(schema objects)Catalog views are provided for DIRECTORY objects to enable users to view object names and corresponding paths and privileges. Supported views are:
ALL_DIRECTORIES
(OWNER
, DIRECTORY_NAME
, DIRECTORY_PATH
)
This view describes all directories accessible to the user.
DBA_DIRECTORIES
(OWNER
, DIRECTORY_NAME
, DIRECTORY_PATH
)
This view describes all directories specified for the entire database.
The main goal of the DIRECTORY
feature is to enable a simple, flexible, non-intrusive, yet secure mechanism for the DBA to manage access to large files in the server file system. But to realize this goal, it is very important that the DBA follow these guidelines when using DIRECTORY
objects:
DIRECTORY
object to a data file directory. A DIRECTORY
object should not be mapped to physical directories that contain Oracle data files, control files, log files, and other system files. Tampering with these files (accidental or otherwise) could corrupt the database or the server operating system.CREATE
ANY
DIRECTORY
(granted to the DBA initially) should be used carefully and not granted to other users indiscriminately. In most cases, only the database administrator should have these privileges.WITH
GRANT
OPTION
clause when granting privileges to users.DIRECTORY
objects should not be arbitrarily dropped or replaced when the database is in operation. If this were to happen, then operations from all sessions on all files associated with this directory object will fail. Further, if a DROP
or REPLACE
command is executed before these files could be successfully closed, then the references to these files will be lost in the programs, and system resources associated with these files will not be released until the session(s) is shut down.
The only recourse left to PL/SQL users, for example, will be to either run a program block that calls DBMS_LOB
.FILECLOSEALL
() and restart their file operations, or exit their sessions altogether. Hence, it is imperative that you use these commands with prudence, and preferably during maintenance downtimes.
DIRECTORY
objects. Revoking a user's privilege on a DIRECTORY
object using the REVOKE
statement causes all subsequent operations on dependent files from the user's session to fail. Either you must re-acquire the privileges to close the file, or run a FILECLOSEALL
() in the session and restart the file operations.In general, using DIRECTORY
objects for managing file access is an extension of system administration work at the operating system level. With some planning, files can be logically organized into suitable directories that have READ privileges for the Oracle process.
DIRECTORY
objects can be created with READ
privileges that map to these physical directories, and specific database users granted access to these directories.
The database does not support session migration for BFILE
datatypes in shared server (multithreaded server) mode. This implies that operations on open BFILE
instances can persist beyond the end of a call to a shared server.
In shared server sessions, BFILE
operations will be bound to one shared server, they cannot migrate from one server to another. This restriction will be removed in a forthcoming release.
For BFILE
s, the value is stored in a server-side operating system file; in other words, external to the database. The BFILE
locator that refers to that file is stored in the row.
If a BFILE
locator variable that is used in a DBMS_LOB
.FILEOPEN
() (for example L1) is assigned to another locator variable, (for example L2), then both L1 and L2 point to the same file. This means that two rows in a table with a BFILE
column can refer to the same file or to two distinct files -- a fact that the canny developer might turn to advantage, but which could well be a pitfall for the unwary.
A BFILE
locator variable operates like any other automatic variable. With respect to file operations, it operates like a file descriptor available as part of the standard I/O library of most conventional programming languages. This implies that once you define and initialize a BFILE
locator, and open the file pointed to by this locator, all subsequent operations until the closure of this file must be done from within the same program block using this locator or local copies of this locator.
Note the following guidelines when working with BFILEs:
BFILE
locator variable can be used, just as any scalar, as a parameter to other procedures, member methods, or external function callouts. However, it is recommended that you open and close a file from the same program block at the same nesting level.BFILE
, then you must set the BFILE
value before flushing the object to the database, thereby inserting a new row. In other words, you must call OCILobFileSetName
() after OCIObjectNew
() and before OCIObjectFlush
().INSERT or UPDATE
a BFILE
without indicating a directory object name and filename.
This rule also applies to users using an OCI bind variable for a BFILE
in an insert/update statement. The OCI bind variable must be initialized with a directory object name and filename before issuing the insert or update statement.
BFILE
, you must initialize the BFILE
to one of the following:
This section describes how to load a LOB with data from a BFILE.
See Also:
Table 15-1, "Environments Supported for BFILE APIs", for a list of operations on BFILEs and APIs provided for each programmatic environment. |
The following preconditions must exist before calling this procedure:
Note: The |
In using OCI, or any of the programmatic environments that access OCI functionality, character set conversions are implicitly performed when translating from one character set to another.
When you use the DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE
procedure to populate a CLOB
or NCLOB
, you are populating the LOB with binary data from the BFILE
. No implicit translation is performed from binary data to a character set. For this reason, you should use the LOADCLOBFROMFILE
procedure when loading text (see Loading a CLOB or NCLOB with Data from a BFILE).
See Also:
Oracle Database Globalization Support Guide for character set conversion issues. |
Note the following with respect to the amount
parameter:
DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE
DBMS_LOB.LOBMAXSIZE
. If you pass any other value, then it must be less than or equal to the size of the BFILE.OCILobLoadFromFile()
If you want to load the entire BFILE, then you can pass the constant UB4MAXVAL
. If you pass any other value, then it must be less than or equal to the size of the BFILE.OCILobLoadFromFile2()
If you want to load the entire BFILE, then you can pass the constant UB8MAXVAL
. If you pass any other value, then it must be less than or equal to the size of the BFILE.
See Also:
Table 14-2, "Maximum LOB Size for Load from File Operations" for details on the maximum value of the amount parameter. |

This section describes how to read data from a BFILE.
See Also:
Table 15-1, "Environments Supported for BFILE APIs", for a list of operations on BFILEs and APIs provided for each programmatic environment. |
Note the following when using this operation.
The most efficient way to read of large amounts of LOB data is to use OCILobRead2()
with the streaming mechanism enabled using polling or callback. To do so, specify the starting point of the read using the offset parameter and use the symbol OCI_LOBMAXSIZE
for the amount, as follows:
ub8 amount = OCI_LOBMAXSIZE; ub4 offset = 1000; OCILobRead2(svchp, errhp, locp, &amount, offset, bufp, bufl, 0, 0, 0, 0)
When using polling mode, be sure to look at the value of the amount
parameter after each OCILobRead2()
call to see how many bytes were read into the buffer because the buffer may not be entirely full.
When using callbacks, the 'len
' parameter, which is input to the callback, will indicate how many bytes are filled in the buffer. Be sure to check the 'len
' parameter during your callback processing because the entire buffer may not be filled with data (see the Oracle Call Interface Programmer's Guide.)
DBMS_LOB.READ
, the amount parameter can be larger than the size of the data; however, the amount parameter should be less than or equal to the size of the buffer. In PL/SQL, the buffer size is limited to 32K.OCILobRead2
, you can pass a value of 0 (zero) for the amount parameter to read to the end of the LOB.Use the following syntax references for each programmatic environment:

This section describes how to close all open BFILEs.
You are responsible for closing any BFILE instances at some point before your program terminates. For example, you must close any open BFILE instance before the termination of a PL/SQL block or OCI program.
You must close open BFILE instances even in cases where an exception or unexpected termination of your application occurs. In these cases, if a BFILE instance is not closed, then it is still considered open by the database. Ensure that your exception handling strategy does not allow BFILE instances to remain open in these situations.
