How to quote in an essay? Quoting passages in books, essays, research papers and other articles depends on two things: (1) the appropriateness of the passage you want to quote and (2) the idea of your paragraph where you want to include the quotation.
A BFILE is a data type used to store a locator (link) to an external binary file (file stored outside of the database). The maximum size for such file can be up to 4 GB (operating system specific). From an Oracle perspective, BFILEs are read-only and cannot be replicated to another system.
External datatypes can be of any format, text, graphic, GIF, TIFF, MPEG, MPEG2, JPEG, etc. When read into the database they will have to be moved into a compatible format (BLOB, CLOB or NCLOB). The BFILE datatype is used to act as a pointer or locator for the actual external data files. The BFILE datatype is a two part locator, the first part is the file name and the second part is the internal alias for the full path directory where the files reside.
