TEXT fields... have you thought about whether or not you can use a TEXT
field instead? You might already know about this, but in case you don't:
They are called "ConText" indexes... and the creation of them looks
something like this:
CREATE INDEX myindex ON [tblname]([txt column name]) INDEXTYPE IS
CTXSYS.CONTEXT;
Anyway, these indexes require constant maintenance to keep them up to date.
There are other similar indexes used for different styles of searching. A
web search should turn up some information if you are interested.

Sorry should have been more clear. It is a clob. From what I have read
there is no way I can search against the data? Any ideas? Looks like I
could use interMedia?
thanks

Shouldn't you be storing the data in a CLOB or TEXT field if it's text?
afaik BLOB = binary large object, not reallly where you want to be
storing text.

Ya you need to convert it via a function....and for the life of
me I can't remember what it's called (just found it a month ago)...try
Google..."Oracle 9 SELECT BLOB"....should point ya in the right
direction ;-)

What DB and what version of CF?
CF 5 and earlier cannot select a BLOB....but you can get some
Java based
custom tags to do it

Subject: Constrain on a blob
I get and 'inconsistent datatype' error when I try to:
SELECT
title
FROM
myTable
WHERE
myBlob = 'abc'
Is it possible to constrain on the information in a blob.
Optimally I
would
like the ability to do a 'like %foo%'
