I need to store in an Interbase database any type of files. How can Ido this in Delphi?
Thanks!
 
Well.. you could use a Blob field. Personally though I think it may be more efficient and easier to simply store a location to the resource in the database (a path to the data in question perhaps ?)

 
Thanks, but I've used BLObs and maximum size of the inserted file was 100-200K. A reference to the resource is exactly the way that I want to avoid!
Whatever, thank you for the answer.
