Good tip! Didn't remember that as CAST is relatively recent - v3.2.3 - and it's not in my system, yet. Anyway that seems to take care of a generic way to obtain the byte count of a field, so no need for a builtin function. Now the only thing left is a way to get part of blob without having to read the entire row into memory, but that probably would not be easy... Regards, ~Nuno Lucas
