Oracle Database Discussions

Hi

I am trying to insert a .jpg into a table and I get ora-22285 error.
The database is 11g and the OS is windows 2008 R2 (64 bit).

These are the steps I took.

I edited the ini.ora file and added utl_fil_dir = c:\mun\*

I restarted the DB.

I made sure edumet.jpg do exist in c:\mun\photos directory.

3.
SQL> create or replace directory images as 'c:\mun\photos\';

Directory created.

SQL> grant all on directory images to public;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> declare
2 l_blob blob;
3 l_bfile bfile;
4 begin
5 insert into images values ( 'edumet', EMPTY_BLOB() )
6 returning images_image into l_blob;
7 l_bfile := bfilename( 'images', 'edumet.jpg' );
8 dbms_lob.fileopen( l_bfile );
9 dbms_lob.loadfromfile( l_blob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.getlength( l_bfile ) )
;
10 dbms_lob.fileclose( l_bfile );
11 end;

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22285: non-existent directory or file for FILEOPEN operation

What am I missing?

Thanks
