I think tonight I'll try 5.0 and see if changing the BLOB columns to TEXT has any affect on what I can do through the ODBC connector. Also, I'd be curious if SlimServer would still work with this change. From what I'm reading in the MySQL docs, there's very little difference between the two datatypes. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/blob.html -BLOB columns are treated as binary strings (byte strings). TEXT columns are treated as non-binary strings (character strings). BLOB columns have no character set, and sorting and comparison are based on the numeric values of the bytes in column values. TEXT columns have a character set, and values are sorted and compared based on the collation of the character set.- -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29282 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
