Hi there,

This is a solution I implemented to store PDF files as blob fields in
Firebird. It uses the the FIBPlus components.

function TdmConnect.WriteScanToDatabase(FileName: TFileName): Integer;
begin
Result := 0;

try
try
sqlScan.Open;
sqlScan.Insert;
TBlobField(sqlScan.FieldByName('document')).LoadFromFile(FileName);
sqlScan.Post;

Result := sqlScan.FieldByName('scan_id').AsInteger;
except
Result := 0;
raise;
end;
finally
sqlScan.Close;
end
end;

The sqlScan SQL from the DFM file:

object sqlScan: TpFIBDataSet
UpdateSQL.Strings = (
'UPDATE SCANS'
'SET '
' SCAN_ID = :SCAN_ID,'
' DOCUMENT = :DOCUMENT'
'WHERE'
' SCAN_ID = :OLD_SCAN_ID'
' ')
DeleteSQL.Strings = (
'DELETE FROM'
' SCANS'
'WHERE'
' SCAN_ID = :OLD_SCAN_ID'
' ')
InsertSQL.Strings = (
'INSERT INTO SCANS('
' SCAN_ID,'
' DOCUMENT'
')'
'VALUES('
' :SCAN_ID,'
' :DOCUMENT'
') returning (scan_id)')
RefreshSQL.Strings = (
'SELECT'
' SCAN_ID,'
' DOCUMENT'
'FROM'
' SCANS '
''
' WHERE '
' SCANS.SCAN_ID = :OLD_SCAN_ID'
' ')
SelectSQL.Strings = (
'SELECT'
' SCAN_ID,'
' DOCUMENT'
'FROM'
' SCANS '
'where'
' scan_id = :ScanId')
AutoUpdateOptions.UseReturningFields = [rfKeyFields]
Transaction = trnRead

I hope this helps.

Regards.
