If you use CLOB, you can insert text in the same way as with varchar2. If
you have BLOB, you'll probably need the function utl_raw or dbms_lob.
However with BFILE, you should create a directory with the stmt: CREATE
DIRECTORY and insert using BFILENAME expression. Then you have the function
EMPTY_BLOB() or EMPTY_CLOB to set them without a value.
An example
SQL> desc kk
Nombre ¿Nulo? Tipo
----------------------------------------- --------
----------------------------
A CLOB
B BLOB
SQL> r
1 insert into kk
2* values ('PUMAS',utl_raw.cast_to_raw(' are the best rugby team'))
1 fila creada.
