            Database db = DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase("XMLDOC_ConnectionString");

                return true;
            else
                return false;

        catch (Exception ex) { 
            //HandleException(ex); 
            return false; }

    }

Error due to compilation of this : Cannot bind type System.String as Blob.

Answer 1

instead of using database factory i used the .net oracle provider method in which we can get "OracleType.Clob" which solves the problem i just passed the xml document as string and the job was done
