Hi
I have a table with lots of binary data. So far I have used blobs for them.
Yet, most columns are sure to have only very few bytes, such as 16 bytes or
so.
@firebird-support: Is there a safe way to use something different than
blobs, as I think I remember that blobs were not the most efficient way to
store such information?
@firebird-java: Is there any support in the driver to store binary data in
any other type than blob if setBytes() is used?
Regards,
Steffen
