2.给相应的用户授权
grant read on directory BFILE_DIR to lunar;
SQL> grant read on directory BFILE_DIR to lunar;
Grant succeeded.

3.检查相应的文件是否存在
host ls -l /home/oracle/bfiletest/bfiletest_file.txt
SQL> host ls -l /home/oracle/bfiletest/bfiletest_file.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 349 Oct 31 2003 /home/oracle/bfiletest/bfiletest_file.txt
SQL>
4.数据操作
BFILENAME函数的语法如下:BFILENAME('directory','filename')
该函数用以返回一个BFILE文件位置指针，指针和文件系统上的LOB binary文件相关联。
'directory' 是路径名，通过create directory方式创建。 'filename' 是文件系统上的文件名称
在你在SQL,PL/SQL或者DBMS_LOG包，或者OCI中使用BFILENAME函数之前，你必须创建相应的directory并且关联相应的物理文件.
以下是一个示例:
CREATE DIRECTORY media_dir AS '/demo/schema/product_media';
create table lunar_test (product_id number, ad_id number, ad_graphic bfile );
INSERT INTO print_media (product_id, ad_id, ad_graphic)
VALUES (3000, 31001, bfilename('MEDIA_DIR', 'modem_comp_ad.gif?http://www.xvna.com'));
参考:Oracle9i SQL Reference Release (9.2) Part Number A96540-02
再例如：
SQL> connect lunar/lunar
create table lunar_test (id number, bfiles bfile );
insert into lunar_test values ( 1, bfilename ( 'BFILE_DIR', 'bfiletest_file.txt' ) );
SQL> connect lunar/lunar
Connected.
SQL> create table lunar_test (id number, bfiles bfile );
Table created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.03
SQL> insert into lunar_test values ( 1, bfilename ( 'BFILE_DIR', 'bfiletest_file.txt' ) );
1 row created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.00
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
