Files are binary data. There are no non-binary files. No need to convert.

you really shouldnt do that! You better create some file service (with unique and the original filename) in your app and store the file in some directory on a server without the database.

Than you only need to copy the file to server on storing and copy it back on retrieving WITHOUT any additional operation. It saves a lot of execution and development time and avoids tons of errors!!!

Images are already in binary format, just stick them in the database ... I do it all the time.

Your question is far too vague to answer anyway .... try something like this next time:

"What would be a good way to store images in an Oracle database with a C style Windows application?"
