Subject Hex string literal, blob not supported for conversion?
Author Martijn Tonies (Upscene Productions)
Hi all,
 
I wonder, should this be possible:
select f_blobsize(X'10')
from rdb$database
 
DECLARE EXTERNAL FUNCTION F_BLOBSIZE
    BLOB
    RETURNS INTEGER FREE_IT
    ENTRY_POINT 'blobsize' MODULE_NAME 'FreeAdhocUDF';
 
I’m getting this error:
“ feature is not supported BLOB and array data types are not supported for conversion operation “
 
 
But as far as I can see, X’10’ returns a binary string, a blob?
 
Firebird 2.5.
 
With regards,
