We have decided to try the BLOB filter way, now. (Hope yahoo posts
the message this time - this is the 3rd attempt).

Ann, thank you for the support offer. I looked into the documentation
and only EmbedSQL contains some information regarding filters.

Before going into the implemetation details, how would a client
access this functionality? Remember, the client is Crystal Reports
via ODBC, so all the examples with DECLARE CURSOR won't work for us.

How would a view declaration look like that provides access to the
converted (rather than "filtered") BLOBs?
