using MIME type in Oracle
Hi guys,

I want to store multi-media information in my Oracle database. This information can contain simple text or images. I want to know if i can use the CLOB type for that. Another question: can i concatane several information in a CLOB field e.g. store a text and an image in the same field and be able to retrieve each one of them separately?

I also heard about the MIME type which allows naturally to store several types of information in the same file. Has anybody ever used this file type with Oracle?

thanks in advance. That's a lot of questions but the answer of any of them would be very helpful. thanks.
