Hi Saubhik,
Thanks for the reply, but i get the following error while compiling the code after altered to my requirement.
DECLARE
b             BLOB;
file_handle   UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
file_dir      varchar2(100) := '\ebiz1\proddb\apeximages';
l_blob_len    INTEGER;
BEGIN
SELECT   blob_content
INTO   b
FROM   a_images2
WHERE   employee_number = '048';
file_handle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN (file_dir, 'prasad.png', 'wb')
l_blob_len := DBMS_LOB.getlength (b);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE (file_handle);
end;This is the error message
ORA-29280: invalid directory path
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 41
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 478
ORA-06512: at line 15
Since i have referred the oracle path only, then also it is throwing the error.
Thanks
