> Is there an ISQL query method which will produce the BLOB ID? I've hunted for hours for something like this - and have been unsuccessful.

Executing in isql:

SET BLOB OFF;

will disable showing the blob content. You get the blob id instead.

With:

BLOBVIEW <blobid>;


you then can display the blob content in an external editor (e.g.
notepad on Windows).

You can turn on displaying BLOBs again with:

SET BLOB ON;



HTH.
