title: How to transfer BLOBs to an Oracle database through SQL scripts
body: <p>I'm developing an application which runs on an Oracle database. I'm now in the process of creating an installation package which will contain some SQL scripts containing the default data that comes with the program. </p>
  
  <p>Some of the tables have BLOB columns which need to contain MS Word documents. I'm not sure how to get these BLOBs into the SQL scripts. I know I could do it through Data Pump, but it is a requirement that all database stuff is included in plain text SQL files.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to get these BLOBs into an SQL script which the client can just run?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
