Subject Blob Metadata and Scripts
Author Don Gollahon
I used the "Extract Metadata DDL" button in IB_SQL and then tried to run the
script using it's "Execute Script" button. I was getting errors. Come to
find out that Blob fields (which are just memo fields I created in the
tables) are not getting extracted right by the metadata button. When I
changed the Blob field definitions from what the metadata used:

BLOB SUB_TYPE 0 SEGMENT SIZE 80 CHARACTER SET NONE

to what the table source says:

BLOB( 65535, 0 )

then it works. Is this a bug in IBO 4.2 Hf?

Thanks.
