I do NOT have problems with DbForms and blob fields ;^)
I discussed some ideas about making DbForms data stored into FileHolder class accessible to other NON-JAVA applications via XML.
OR - as you said:
"I think it is neccessary to access blob data from non java applications!
I think the best way would be to introduce an new data type streamblob which kill not break existing applications. This would be quit easy."
Well, the latter is better ;^)
P.S.: hope to come back to contribute soon...

Hi Luca, hi all!
Luca pointed out a way to get it from the database as a java object.
It's also possible to marshall the FileHolder class into an
XML stream (that contains also binary data?) and store it into the database.
Good idea if we really deal with xml data. It's something for the xml
features of dbforms in the future... And it's a good idea for databases which could not handle blob data. But
just for storing binary data, e.g. a word document into the database i think
the overhead is to much....
I would prefer as an first step binary data stream. It's then possible to put it into word without the overhead of xml parsing. As i said above - nothing against xml - would like to have this feature for real xml databases and others.
What's about to new fields: - blobstream - xmlstream
