在Oracle 8i的SQL*Plus中如何利用LOB字段存取操作系统二进制文件
广东省岭澳核电有限公司工程控制处治理信息科(518124) 黄福同
Oracle 8i数据库系统功能比前面版本更加完善，尤其是出现了BLOB,CLOB,NCLOB,
BFILE这些LOB(大型对象)类型来取代功能有限的LONG、LONGRAW类型。BLOB字段最
大长度为4G(4,294,967,295)字节,而且不再象LONGRAW那样每个表中只是限制有一
个字段是LONGRAW（最长2G）型的。BLOB,CLOB,NCLOB为内部BLOB(数据通常在数据
库中存放)，BFILE为外部LOB（所存储的只是指向外部操作系统文件的指针）,用户可
以使用PL/SQL的包DBMS_LOB来处理LOB数据，但是遗憾的是，DBMS_LOB包只能将二进
制操作系统文件写入到BLOB字段中，却无法将BLOB字段中的二进制操作系统文件取回
到操作系统中，估计将来会有所改善。本文将就如何在SQL*Plus将Word文件存入取出
ORACLE中作具体解释说明，供各位同行参考。
实验的软件环境如下：windows 2000 Advanced Server，Oracle 8.1.7，VC++6.0+SP5
硬件环境如下：双PIII866 CPU，768M内存
在internal这个用户下给scott用户授权如下：
SQL>grant create any Directory to scott;
SQL>grant create any library to scott;
在scott这个用户下执行下述语句：
SQL>create table bfile_tab (bfile_column BFILE);
SQL>create table utl_lob_test (blob_column BLOB);
SQL>create or replace directory utllobdir as 'C:\DDS\EXTPROC';
SQL>set serveroutput on
然后执行下面语句就将C:\DDS\EXTPROC目录下的word文件COM.doc存入到utl_lob_test
表中的blob_column字段中了。
declare
a_blob BLOB;
a_bfile BFILE := BFILENAME('UTLLOBDIR','COM.doc'); --用来指向外部操作系统
文件
begin
insert into bfile_tab values (a_bfile)
returning bfile_column into a_bfile;
insert into utl_lob_test values (empty_blob())
returning blob_column into a_blob;
dbms_lob.fileopen(a_bfile);
dbms_lob.loadfromfile(a_blob, a_bfile, dbms_lob.getlength(a_bfile));
dbms_lob.fileclose(a_bfile);
commit;
end;
/
SQL>show errors
此时可以使用DBMS_LOB包的getlength这个procedure来检测是否已经将该word文件存入
到blob字段中了。如：
SQL> select dbms_lob.getlength(blob_column) from UTL_LOB_TEST;
结果如下：
DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(BLOB_COLUMN)
-------------------------------
83968
说明该word文件已经存入到blob字段中去了。
下面将就如何取出该word文件到操作系统下作具体解释：
Oracle8.1.7只能用pro*c与OCI来实现该任务，所以Oracle服务器端必须支持pro*c
以及外部library，Oracle8.1.7数据库默认安装为支持pro*c以及外部Procedure，
用户可以自己检查一下listener.ora 和 tnsnames.ora这两个文件。
listener.ora中包含如下语句：
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\ora81)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = hft)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\ora81)
(SID_NAME = hft)
)
)
tnsnames.ora中包含如下语句：
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
)
)
下面这个文件为lob2file.c,具体作用是将BLOB中的二进制文件倒出到操作系统中。

将文件lob2file.c放到D:\oracle\ora81\plsql\demo目录下：然后在dos下执行下述编
译
语句将该文件编译成lob2file.dll文件，make.bat文件包含如下：
@echo off
cl -ID:\oracle\ora81\oci\include -D_DLL -D_MT /LD -Zi lob2file.c /link
D:\oracle\ora81\oci\lib\msvc\oci.lib msvcrt.lib /nod:libcmt /DLL
/EXPORT:lob2file /EXPORT:checkerr
进入D:\oracle\ora81\plsql\demo目录(DOS状态)执行make就可以将lob2file.c编
译成lob2file.dll文件了。
然后用scott连到sql*plus中，执行
SQL>CREATE OR REPLACE LIBRARY UTLLOBLIB
AS 'D:\oracle\ora81\plsql\demo\lob2file.dll'
/
SQL>GRANT EXECUTE ON UTLLOBLIB TO PUBLIC
然后执行下述代码：
create or replace package utl_lob is
procedure SetLogging(which BOOLEAN, a_log VARCHAR2);
procedure UnloadToFile(a_lob BLOB, a_file VARCHAR2, status OUT NUMBER);
end utl_lob;
/
show errors
create or replace package body utl_lob is
logSetting BOOLEAN := FALSE;
logFileName VARCHAR2(512) := NULL;
procedure SetLogging(which BOOLEAN, a_log VARCHAR2) is
begin
logSetting := which;
if (logSetting = TRUE) then
logFileName := a_log;
else
logFileName := NULL;
end if;
end;
function LoBToFile(a_lob BLOB, a_file VARCHAR2,a_log VARCHAR2, logging
BOOLEAN)
return BINARY_INTEGER as external
name "lob2file"
library utlloblib
LANGUAGE C
with context
parameters ( a_lob OCILOBLOCATOR,
a_lob INDICATOR SHORT,
a_file STRING,
a_file INDICATOR SHORT,
a_file LENGTH INT,
a_log STRING,
a_log INDICATOR SHORT,
a_log LENGTH INT,
logging INT,
CONTEXT,
RETURN );
procedure UnloadToFile(a_lob BLOB, a_file VARCHAR2, status OUT NUMBER) is
begin
status := LobToFile(a_lob, a_file, logFileName, logSetting);
end;
end utl_lob;
/
show errors
grant execute on utl_lob to public;
该代码创建package utl_lob，而utl_lob调用library utlloblib，我们的测试程序调
用
package utl_lob中的procedure SetLogging和UnloadToFile。在scott用户下执行如下
脚本，就可以将先前保存的COM.doc取出放到C:\DDS\EXTPROC\test.doc这个文件中，当
然
C:\DDS\EXTPROC这个目录必须存在。脚本执行完毕后生成两个文件test.log与test.doc
，
test.log纪录了取出的具体信息，test.doc是COM.doc的复制品，取出82K大小的文件大
约用了4秒。
--以下为测试脚本
set serveroutput on
declare
a_blob BLOB;
status NUMBER;
begin
select blob_column into a_blob from utl_lob_test;
utl_lob.SetLogging(TRUE, 'C:\DDS\EXTPROC\test.log');
utl_lob.UnloadToFile(a_blob, 'C:\DDS\EXTPROC\test.doc', status);
dbms_output.put_line('Exit status = ' status);
end;
/
大家对上面测试脚本稍微改动一下，形成一个带参数的Procedure供给用程序调用就可
以了。
