[DUG] Blob primer

[Phil Middlemiss]

Could anyone give me a link to a "how-to" about blobs? I'm using D6 with firebird - there is no GUI (it's a service) so I would like to just use SQL if possible.

Having not used blobs before I'm wondering:
- what is a subtype? The Interbase documentation assumes you know
- what is a good size for the segment length
- how to specify binary data in a sql - if it's actually possible.
- if I can't just use sql then what's the best way?

Phil.
