Hi,
I have a table containing blob column.
There are some records in the table and the blob column contains .jpg,
.gif, .doc files.
I dont have filename stored in database which has the extension.
When I take the blob column throug java, how do I know whether the
respective blob is a gif file or jpg file or some other file.
Can I get the headers of BLOB column after fetching it through java?
Please let me know if you have any idea.

I'd ask on some other group. This has nothing to do with Oracle.

By storing metadata with the BLOBS.
