Could your another program read a BLOB? ruby-oci8 raises 'uninitialized BLOB' when OCI8::BLOB#available? is false. OCI8::BLOB#available? is OCILobLocatorIsInit() in C. I don't know the portable ways to check whether the BLOB column is initialized or not. I would read the document of LOB at the next weekend. -- KUBO Takehiro
