Inserting mp3 in 8.1.7

Question

hi everyone
i just changed OS and i reinstalled oracle 8.1.7
my target is the same as before: insterting MP3 files in a
table..
this is what i did:
- i created a new user;
- i granted connect, resource, create library, create table,
create any directory , ctxapp, query rewrite to the user;
- i created a directory with mp3 inside;
- following the online teaching i created this tablespace
create tablespace mm_data_ts
datafile 'MMdata.dbf' size 60m
     AUTOEXTEND ON
     maxsize unlimited
     minimum extent 500k
     default storage (
          initial 500k
          next 500k
- i created this table
CREATE or replace TABLE SOUNDS
     Item_ID               number          not null
PRIMARY KEY,     
     Audio           ordsys.ordaudio
     LOB (Audio.source.localdata) STORE AS
     tablespace mm_data_ts
     storage (initial 500k
          next 500k
          pctincrease 0
          maxextents unlimited)
     chunk 32k
     nocache nologging
commit;
- ...and this procedure:
procedure MP3.loadsound (id integer,filename in varchar2) as
noise ORDSYS.ORDaudio;
sounds CLOB;
ctx RAW(4000) := NULL;
begin
-- insert a row with id and an initialized ORDAudio object
INSERT INTO sounds VALUES(id,ORDSYS.ORDAUDIO.init());
commit;
-- select into local variable for processing/updates/etc
SELECT audio INTO noise FROM sounds
WHERE item_id=id FOR UPDATE;
noise.importFrom(ctx, 'FILE', 'auddir', filename);
noise.setProperties(ctx);
UPDATE sounds SET audio = noise
WHERE item_id=id;
commit;
end;
then:
if i exec the procedure it gives me:
ERRORE at line 1:
ORA-00984: not allowed column
ORA-06512: at "MP3.LOADSOUND", line 14
ORA-06512: at line 1
why?????????????????????
thank you for reading all this..

Lu,
I have been unable to reproduce your problem locally.
The error message seems to indicate that you are using
a column name in a pl/sql command where you shouldn't.
I wonder if the local variable of type clob (that doesn't
seem to be used in the procedure) named SOUNDS (like the
table) has anything to do with it.
Do let me know if you've made any progress.
Regards,
Rajiv
