blobs explained

Hi all,
I've read and re-read the all the commands on Blob, but I'm making little headway into understanding how it works and how to retrieve information again. Are there several examples somewhere I can look at or further reading I could go to that is less confusing than the official blurb. Thanks in advance. Michael. ********************************************************************** 4D Basics hosted by 4D, Inc. http://www.4D.com/ 4D Web 2.0 Pack v11 Brings Business Intelligence to the Web http://www.4D.com/products/4dweb20pack-AF.html Data Lives Here (tm) To Unsubscribe: mailto:4DBasics-off@... ********************************************************************** |

Michael,
I wrote an article a number of years ago about using a blob for text import because it is faster than parsing from a file. The sample database I wrote is around somewhere and includes tools for parsing a blob. In it's simplest form, a blob is one gigantic super-stretch garbage bag full of whatever you want to put in it. You access it by converting it to a certain data type, or extracting it a piece at a time. If you would like a copy of that article and the sample database, just let me know.
