Subject Help with Blobs required.
Author Adrian Wreyford
Hi,



I have a table with a blob field in it, that I have used to store jpeg
photos.

I can save, and delete these jpegs no problem.



I have decided to move the field from the current table to a new table in
the database.



I then copy the blob fields contents to the new blob field in the new table,
and insert a new record.



I set the datasource property of the IB_JPEGImage, and then when setting the
datafield property to point to the blob field in the new table, I get Jpeg
error #41.



I suspect that the data in the blob has been corrupted when transferring
between the two tables.



The fields are both BLOB, SUBTYPE 0 SEGMENT SIZE 80.



I copy the blobs over as follows..



,,,

IB_QueryNewTable.Insert;

IB_QueryNewTable.FieldByName('Photo').Value :=
IB_QueryOldTable.FieldByName('OldPhoto').Value;

IB_QueryNewTable.Post;



I can see that there is data in the Blob, but suspect it is corrupted.



Should I use .AsString, but will this be large enough to say handle a 6mb
photo?



IBO4_7Beta8, FB2.0 D6



Regards



Adrian
