How can I load a flat file into a CLOB without using DBMS_LOB or BFILE

Good Day

Environment:  Oracle 12c on Exadata

I am using Informatica to do some data loading of flat files into Oracle tables using their transformations, etc.  Working fine.

The flat files reside in the Informatica server.

After processing the flat files into the Oracle tables I need to load the flat files into a CLOB in the database.

The files are relatively small  (< 100MB).

I can't create a DIRECTORY in the database since the files are not locally resident or at least I don't know how to do that (any help is very welcome!).

This means I can't use DBMS_LOB to load those flat files.

Howdy, Stranger!
