In today’s video we’ll demonstrate the functionality of the DBMS_CLOUD package, with specific reference to external tables based on objects in a cloud object store.

The video is based on a section in this article.

The star of today’s video is Alex Zaballa, who has got to be one of the most certified people I’ve ever met. 🙂

Loading LOB Data Using SQL*Loader…

In a recent post I discussed the use of BLOBs and External Tables. As a result of that I thought I better take a look at how SQL*Loader copes with LOBs, so I wrote Loading LOB Data Using SQL*Loader. SQL*Loader has a number of methods for loading LOBs, but I focussed on the one that most closely matches the method used by external tables.
