SQL中的varbinary（max）错误

Question

I want to use a column that contains images in it. I've tried this code

create table books
(
   book_id number(4),
   title varchar2 (50),
   ISBN varchar2(20), 
   author varchar2(40),
   publisher varchar2(20),
   released number(4),
   image varbinary(max),
   constraint booksPK primary key (book_id),
   constraint booksFK foreign key (subject_id) references subject(subject_id)
);

and I got this error:

Error at Command Line:29 Column:16
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
00907. 00000 - "missing right parenthesis"
*Cause:

please help me with this...

varbinary isn't an Oracle data type. You should be using a binary large object (BLOB) . A comment suggested long raw , but BLOBs have fewer restrictions and should be used instead .
