Overview

This class is a ruby-side class of Oracle BFILE datatype. It is a read-only LOB. You cannot change the contents.

You can read files on the server-side as follows:

  1. Connect to the Oracle server as a user who has CREATE DIRECTORY privilege.

    # create a directory object on the Oracle server.
CREATE DIRECTORY file_storage_dir AS '/opt/file_storage';
# grant a privilege to read files on file_storage_dir directory to a user.
GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY file_storage_dir TO username;

  2. Create a file ‘hello_world.txt’ in the directory ‘/opt/file_storage’ on the server filesystem.

    echo 'Hello World!' > /opt/file_storage/hello_world.txt

  3. Read the file by ruby-oci8.

    require 'oci8'
# The user must have 'READ ON DIRECTORY file_storage_dir' privilege.
conn = OCI8.new('username/password')

# The second argument is usually an uppercase string unless the directory
# object is explicitly created as *double-quoted* lowercase characters.
bfile = OCI8::BFILE.new(conn, 'FILE_STORAGE_DIR', 'hello_world.txt')
bfile.read # => "Hello World!\n"
