Pleonasm? :-) BLOB = Binary Large OBject.
From the TransBase SQL Reference Manual:
"TransBase does not interpret the contents of a BLOB. Each field of type
BLOB either contains the NULL value or a BLOB object. The only
operations
on BLOBs are creation, insertion, update of a BLOB, testing a BLOB on
being the NULL value, extracting a BLOB via the field name in the SELECT
clause, extracting a subrange of a BLOB (i.e. an adjacent byte range of
a BLOB), and extracting the size of a BLOB."
Cheers,
Jeroen
