BLOB
- Thread starter EscapeUK
- Start date
BLOB (Binary Large OBjects) are handled differently by different databases. But in general, you find out what "chunk" size the database wants, then feed it portions of that size of your file.
The reverse is true when reading BLOBs -- when requesting a BLOB field, you have to make several database calls, where the database feeds you chunks of your file. You have to do the work of concatenating them together again.

Let me mention the filesystem.
Avoid storing binary data in your DB if at all possible!
Suggest you stor a path to the requested image instead.
Good Luck
