- Summary: Need a Sybase BLOB read/write method/function for datasize > 64k.
- Keywords: DBKit, Sybase

- The DBKit Sybase adaptor apparently limits image and text data to 64 kb. Brent
- Loschen has posted some gnarly Sybase DBLib code that will write image data to
- a database. However, one of the main reasons I'm using DBKit is to avoid
- such database-specific stuff. Not being a Sybase programmer, I don't want to
- spend time learning DBLib calls so that I can read and write large image and
- text data when this should have been supported in the adaptor (and probably
- eventually will be).
-
- So has anyone written read/write methods/functions that I can treat as a black
- box that he/she would be willing to share? I need to be able to allow users to
- record comments that will be stored in the database, so I need to read and
- write a sizable Sound object. I need to be able to store scanned photos and
- documents as well, so these will be tiff files (and maybe faxes which I think
- are stored in some sort of tiff format).
-
- Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
