I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a way to detect a if a field selected
from an Oracle database is a BLOB? (using CFMX 6.1) My problem is that we are
trying to migrate a database over to MySQL from Oracle and due to a lack of
inexpensive migration tools (I'd be perfectly happy to be proven
Oracle BLOBS are binary, not text - they are going to break if you put
them in a text field. Are you sure you don't mean CLOBs?
