Обсуждение: Blob datatype / image storing

We want to know if is there a datatype for storing images (as a Blob
datatype)? How do we use it?

Thank you!

ligia,
there is some excellent documentation at any of the mirror sites (or pick up
bruce's book!). the answer to your question is at:

reading the blob is another matter. if it's anything like mysql you have to:
- read it into binary;
- write as file of proper type w/ correct file extension;

anyone have any examples of functions that do this?

hope this helps,

chris
