Copy the file contents in a byte array using the file stream and insert the byte array into the database.
The code will does it:

FileStream fls=new FileStream(filename);
byte[] blob=new byte[fls.Length];
fls.Read(blob,0,System.Convert.ToInt32(fls.Length));
string query="insert into applicant(name,resume) values(" + txtname.Text + "'," + blob+")";
OracleCommand cmd=new OracleCommand(query,conn);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

For retreiving, get it in a byte array(using select stmt) and display it.

Thanks for the sample code Barbie !
