<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> </head> <body> Thanks for your response. The Oracle documentation states that RAW datatypes can be up to 2KB
in size. The .GIF's I'm trying to insert are:

IPP_0002.GIF 1518b
IPP_0003.GIF 899b
IPP_0004.GIF 895b
IPP_0005.GIF 255b
IPP_0012.GIF 1265b
IPP_0015.GIF 902b

When I select them out of the database and write them to my cwd, I get:

IPP_0002.GIF 3036b
IPP_0003.GIF 1798b
IPP_0004.GIF 1790b
IPP_0005.GIF 510b
IPP_0012.GIF 2530b
IPP_0015.GIF 1804b

The gif's aren't being truncated, they're expanding!... ?

I can successfully insert/select BLOB's, CLOB's, LONG's. But I also need to be able to do
RAW's. I work in a test environment and my current task is to provide test cases for all of the
datatypes for the product my company is working on...
